Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of his essays on Homer, some new and some appearing for the first time in English, the distinguished scholar Pietro Pucci examines the linguistic and rhetorical features of the poet's works.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern Siren There are other Sirens, neither ancient nor mytho logical, whose songs, sung without ceasing, are most enticing. The modern siren is but one of many, the most seductive, the most daring, the most dan gerons, the most deadly of them all. Lured by the songs of this Siren many a noble ship has gone upon the rocks of spiritual and eternal ruin. May the light from the red lantern of danger fall upon the pages of this book with so strong and searching a glare, thus making the subject so clear, the danger so real, and the old paths by contrast so plain, that the wayfaring man or woman, though amazingly foolish, shall not err therein.

So the two of us were deposited outside the little grotto on a great sunlit rock that guarded the harmonies with ih. Let us call them blue, though they suggest rather the spirit of what' is clean, cleanliness passed from the domestic to the sublime, the cleanliness of all the sea gathered together and radiating light. The Blue Grotto at Capri contains only more blue water, not bluer water. That colour and that spirit is the heritage of every cave in the Mediterranean into which the sun can shine and the sea ow. As soon as the boat left I realised how imprudent I had been to trust myself on a sloping rock with an unknown Sicilian. With a jerk he became alive, seiz ing my arm and saying Go to the end of the Grotto and I will show you something beautiful.
