Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek gods are alive and well. But, unfortunately for the gods, the humans have all but forgotten their glorious existence...and this fact really pisses off the all-powerful, immortal beings. Apollo, the Greek god of the sun, takes one look at the mysterious Terese Lafitte and knows that he wants her. Even in this modern century, a god takes what he wants. But Terese isn't a mortal, not any longer. As a newly turned vampire, her attraction to Apollo is downright lethal because desire arouses not just her body, but also her bloodlust. But Apollo likes a woman with bite, and now that he's found Terese, he's not about to let the little vampiress out of his sight or out of his bed. When Terese's psychotic vampire ex begins to stalk them, Apollo knows that he will have to use all of his strength to keep her safe. Lucky for Terese, Apollo has more power than she could ever have imagined. When you trifle with the sun god, you will get burned. Word Count: 20,000 Warning: This story contains hot sex, a desperate vampire, and one alpha Greek god. Adult language included--and beware of the monsters

Download or read book Apollo written by Tammy Gagne and published by Mitchell Lane Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-09 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apollo's father was Zeus (ZOOS), the king of all the gods. His mother was the beautiful Leto (LEE-toh), the daughter of Titans Coeus (KEE-ohs) and Phoebe (FEE-bee). But Zeus was not married to Leto--his wife was Hera (HEER-uh). Nick also remembered that Hera was very jealous of Leto. She took her jealousy out on Apollo and his twin sister, Artemis (AHR-tuh-mis)--even before they were born.Hoping that the twins would never be born, Hera forced Leto to live at sea. She demanded that no land allow Leto to enter. But when the soon-to-be mother arrived at the island of Delos (DEE-los), it welcomed her anyway, providing her with a place to give birth. It wasn't much of an island. It floated in the sea, pushed around by the wind and waves. But when it allowed Leto to stay there, four pillars grew from the ocean floor to hold the island in place forever.Like many Greek myths, this earliest story about Apollo is an exciting one. Leto certainly isn't the only goddess to be banished by one of the gods. But when Apollo and his twin finally arrive, everything that his mother had to endure seems somehow worth it. Apollo's cry was said to be a sound of music. And like his mother, he was beautiful to the point of perfection. In this new book for children, author Tammy Gagne helps young readers understand the many stories of Apollo.

Download or read book After Callimachus written by Stephanie Burt and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a collection of free translations from the ancient Greek poet Callimachus, whose surviving work includes the Aitia, a narrative elegy; the Iambi, short poems on occasional themes; and the Hecale, a small-scale epic. The poet and critic Stephanie Burt has written contemporary adaptations of what she calls "Callimachus's lyric, epigrammatic, and narrative genius for our times." These are not literal translations for students of Greek, but instead free translations intended to bring poetry of classical antiquity into modern verse. Considered a major poet in Greek and European readings but not yet in English, Callimachus is remembered for a few sayings, among them 'mega biblion, mega kakon': a big, or long, or great book (an epic, for example) is a great evil, or a big, bad thing. Burt's intention is to make Callimachus' 'miniaturist, irony-loving, anti-macho sensibility' more accessible to Anglophone readers, with the advantage that Callimachus 'speaks without centuries of great English poets who have already adapted him'"--

Download or read book Apollo written by Tamra Orr and published by Mitchell Lane Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apollo was a god who seemed to be skilled at everything except love. He was the god of music and light, as well as a teacher of medicine. He told of the future and even transformed himself into a dolphin. As the son of the powerful Zeus, and a twin to the goddess Artemis, Apollo spent much of his time chasing the things he wanted. The one thing that always seemed to get away, however, was the woman he loved. One woman was turned into a tree just as he reached her, while another was murdered at his command for falling in love with another. Apollo played an important part in the Trojan War. A series of sports competitions, known as the Pythian Games, was held every four years to honor him.
