Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems From the Greek Mythology: And Miscellaneous Poems From elm to elm, hanging in middle air Their amethystine fruitage - clustering globes Andavhen the day was done, I sang blithe hymns, Crowning myself a victor o'er his toils With roses crimson-soul'd and ivy dark And I was happy. But at length a change Crept over me. The joys that once had been Ample and deep, seem'd tame and in their place Grew up a mighty vagueness, which, like shade From passing clouds o'er sunlit lands, made blank Field after field of brilliance. Sadness fell Upon my soul, and it was desolate, - dark And rising sense of power, that might have stood On Jove's cerulean battlements alone.

Download or read book The Poems of Hesiod written by Hesiod and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hesiod is the first Greek and, therefore, the first European we can know as a real person, for, unlike Homer, he tells us about himself in his poems. Hesiod seems to have been a successful farmer and a rather gloomy though not humorless man. One suspects from his concern for the bachelor's lot and some rather unflattering remarks about women that he was never married. A close study of both poems reveals the same personality -that of a deeply religious man concerned with the problems of justice and fate.

Download or read book In the Land of Gods written by Donna Spector and published by Evening Street Press. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Land of Gods is where Donna Spector finds herself, like a character out of an Ovidian myth metamorphosed into a creature of song, singing of “what is past, or passing, or to come.” In every one of these celebrations of Greece, the presence of the past is felt in the present moment as we are taken on a journey through the marvelous intricacies of a poetic sensibility that is alive to all that life offers and takes away. In the process, as readers, we become inhabitants of her world, joining her in a mythic—and utterly real—land of gods. —Paul Kane, Work Life In the Land of Gods will bedazzle readers with luxurious lapis and gold. Donna Spector dizzies all our senses describing her beloved Greece where “...the gods are more eternal than the hotel’s morning excuses for no hot water.” In dramatic monologues, Odysseus visits the narrator’s house in New Jersey, “Medea speaks to herself…,” and Orpheus tells Eurydice how much he loves her. When you read this collection, you’ll wish you were Greek also and may even tell people you are. —Donna Reis No Passing Zone From the first line of the first poem, Donna Spector's In the Land of Gods transports us across oceans, across time, across cultures. And yet, in these poems, we immediately feel present at her side in the warmth and beauty, adventure and stories, discovering "our common language" (as she writes in "Athens, 1990"). Donna Spector's poems dazzle and dance on the page, delighting all the senses. —Jean LeBlanc, Ancient Songs of Us (Aqueduct Press, 2020) In the Land of Gods, Spector is a visitor passionate to melt into Greek landscape, history, and myths, where she finds metamorphosis still alive. An agnostic facing at every turn ikons, statues, paintings of saints, Jesus, and Greek gods, Spector tells stories of, and to, Greeks she encounters, celebrating tales of “love/and loss, so familiar they are always new.” The language can be dazzling as Greek sunlight, delicious as the wine and food she shares with fellow travelers and residents. With the added spice of humor, Spector provides a feast to savor. —Mary Makofske, World Enough, and Time (Kelsay, 2017)

Download or read book Work and Days written by Hesiod and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-11-26 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work and Days is a didactic poem of some 800 verses written by the ancient Greek poet Hesiod around 700 BC. At its center, the Works and Days is a farmer's almanac in which Hesiod instructs his brother Perses in the agricultural arts. Scholars have seen this work against a background of agrarian crisis in mainland Greece, which inspired a wave of colonial expeditions in search of new land. In the poem Hesiod also offers his brother extensive moralizing advice on how he should live his life.
