Download or read book The Telegony written by D M Smith and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In classical times, the story of the Trojan War was told in a series of eight epic poems known as the Epic Cycle, of which only the Iliad and Odyssey by Homer survive to the present day. The final poem in the sequence was Eugammon of Cyrene's Telegony-an obscure, largely forgotten post-script to the Odyssey, which told of the hero's adventures in the years after his return to Ithaca, and his eventual death at the hands of Telegonus, his eponymous son by the goddess Circe. The Telegony is now lost, but fragments of Odysseus' post-Homeric life are preserved in the works of later authors. Following on from his 2017 reconstruction of the Cypria, editor D. M. Smith provides an exhaustive compilation of these many and varied sources, illustrating how Eugammon's poem was just one of several competing traditions concerning Odysseus' eventual fate. Included are excerpts from Apollodorus' Bibliotheca, Hyginus' Fabulae, Parthenius' Erotica Pathemata, and the fictional Trojan War diary of Dictys Cretensis, as well as the writings of Oppian, Plutarch, Servius, and the second-century geographer Pausanias. Smith also presents two medieval interpretations of the Telegonus story by the Middle English poets John Gower and John Lydgate. The Telegony may be gone forever, but in its absence, this comprehensive anthology will at least shed some light on what became of the wily son of Laertes after Homer left off.
Download or read book The Cypria written by D M Smith and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Classical times, the story of the Trojan War was told in a series of eight epic poems known as the Epic Cycle, of which only the Iliad and Odyssey by Homer survive to the present day. The first poem in the sequence was the Cypria, which described the early years of the war from Eris' casting of the golden apple at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, to Paris' abduction of Helen, the sacrifice of Iphigenia, Odysseus' treacherous murder of Palamedes, and finally, the enslavement of Briseis and Chryseis, which sowed the seeds of the conflict between Achilles and Agamemnon in the Iliad. The Cypria is now lost, but the myths it once contained are known from a number of later writings. In an ambitious exercise in literary back-breeding, editor D. M. Smith attempts to reconstruct the lost prequel to Homer's Iliad from the available material. Included are excerpts from Ovid's Metamorphoses, Apollodorus' Bibliotheca, Euripides' Iphigenia at Aulis and Colluthus' The Rape of Helen, as well as lesser known documents such as Dictys Cretensis Ephemeris Belli Trojani, and the Excidium Troiae - a medieval summary of a lost Roman account of the Trojan War, discovered among the papers of an 18th century clergyman in the 1930s. This eclectic melange of Greek and Latin texts has been carefully edited and arranged in accordance with the known chronology of the Cypria, thus allowing readers to trace the story of this vanished epic as a continuous narrative for the first time in over a thousand yea

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Washington is an American hero whose fame is not wholly accounted for by the record of his life. Like Lincoln he was infinitely greater than anything he did. A military genius, he wrested liberty from tyranny; a statesman, he helped evolve a stable government from political chaos; a patriot, he refused a crown. Wisdom, patience, tolerance, courage, consecration to the righteous cause animated his every act.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Überarbeitete und illustrierte deutsche Fassung Lewis Carrolls vielschichtige Kindergeschichte führt Alice auf den Schwingen des Schlafes ins Wunderland. Ein sprechendes weißes Kaninchen geleitet das Mädchen durch den dunklen, tiefen Schacht seines Baus in eine rätselhafte Welt nahe dem Erdmittelpunkt. Hier begegnet Alice wundersamen Wesen wie dem Hutmacher, der Haselmaus oder dem Kartenkönigspaar und erlebt Geschichten, die die Ordnung ihrer bisher gewohnten Kinderwelt in Frage stellen. Bis heute gehört das 1865 erschienene Werk Alice im Wunderland zu den Klassikern der Kinder- und Weltliteratur. Ein Buch, das jeder einmal gelesen haben sollte. Es ist gefüllt mit skurrilen Figuren, die schon früh ihren Weg in die populäre Kultur gefunden haben. Genießen Sie die wunderschönen bekannten Illustrationen von John Tenniel. Mit einem Nachwort und Ergänzungen zur Übersetzung. Der König und die Königin der Herzen saßen auf ihrem Trone, als sie ankamen, und eine große Menge war um sie versammelt – allerlei kleine Vögel und Tiere, außerdem das ganze Pack Karten: der Bube stand vor ihnen, in Ketten, einen Soldaten an jeder Seite, um ihn zu bewachen; dicht bei dem Könige befand sich das weiße Kaninchen, eine Trompete in einer Hand, in der andern eine Pergamentrolle. Im Mittelpunkte des Gerichtshofes stand ein Tisch mit einer Schüssel voll Torten: sie sahen so appetitlich aus, daß der bloße Anblick Alice ganz hungrig darauf machte. – »Ich wünschte, sie machten schnell mit dem Verhör und reichten die Erfrischungen herum.« Aber dazu schien wenig Aussicht zu sein, so daß sie anfing, Alles genau in Augenschein zu nehmen, um sich die Zeit zu vertreiben.
