Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desire can be addicting... Shaken by the death of a close friend, Evander takes it upon himself to track down the rest of the Arcadians to face off against Dionysus and the Boeotians. It seems like a good plan-until the vampire who disrupted his life returns to tempt the beast only she seems to awaken within him. Vander hates her, blames her for the tragedy that befell The Aegean Inn months before, but he craves her in his bed. He can't resist her bite...or her kiss. Free after being imprisoned and double-crossed by Dionysus, Bremusa only wants to be left alone. Born an Amazon and made into a monster by Lamia, she is prepared to handle any threat. So why can't she help herself when trouble finds her in the form of a sexy satyr prince she once tasted and didn't have the time to savor? Just one night with him would alleviate her curiosity, but could never be enough to sate her hunger for him. Elsewhere, enemies make strategic plays with apocalyptic intentions. Apollo has gone missing, Dionysus has used the syrinx, and Lamia won't rest until she breaks Bremusa's spirit-and her heart. Will Vander and Bremusa be able to stand their ground, or will their time together come to an abrupt halt? Not like anyone could survive the end of the world, or could they?

  • ISBN : 1914535170
  • Pages : 315 pages

Download or read book Satyr Drama written by George W. M. Harrison and published by Classical Press of Wales. This book was released on 2005-12-31 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The esteem in which satyr drama was held in antiquity still arouses curiosity and controversy. Twelve new papers, generated in North America by a distinguished cast of scholars, explore questions central to the genre. How did satyr drama relate to comedy and tragedy; how closely was it tied to its tragic trilogy? How did the Athenians react to pro-satyric drama, such as the Alcestis? How far did satyr plays reflect contemporary political life? Fresh conclusions are adduced from the fragments, particularly those of Aeschylus, and there is special study of Euripides' Cyclops, not least for its possible reflection of the fifth-century sophists.

Book Prometheus

    Book Details:
  • Author : Karl Kerényi
  • Publisher : Princeton University Press
  • Release : 1997-11-30
  • ISBN : 9780691019079
  • Pages : 198 pages

Download or read book Prometheus written by Karl Kerényi and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1997-11-30 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prometheus the god stole fire from heaven and bestowed it on humans. In punishment, Zeus chained him to a rock, where an eagle clawed unceasingly at his liver, until Herakles freed him. For the Greeks, the myth of Prometheus's release reflected a primordial law of existence and the fate of humankind. Carl Kerényi examines the story of Prometheus and the very process of mythmaking as a reflection of the archetypal function and seeks to discover how this primitive tale was invested with a universal fatality, first in the Greek imagination, and then in the Western tradition of Romantic poetry. Kerényi traces the evolving myth from Hesiod and Aeschylus, and in its epic treatment by Goethe and Shelley; he moves on to consider the myth from the perspective of Jungian psychology, as the archetype of human daring signifying the transformation of suffering into the mystery of the sacrifice.

Book Blotted Lines

Download or read book Blotted Lines written by Adhaar Noor Desai and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blotted Lines rebuffs centuries of mythologization about the creative process—the idea that William Shakespeare "never blotted out line"—to argue that by studying how early modern writers faced the challenges of writing poetry, instructors today can empower their students' approaches to critical writing. Adhaar Noor Desai offers deeply researched accounts of how poetic labor intersected with early modern rhetorical theory, material culture, and social networks. Tracing the productive struggles of such writers as George Gascoigne, Philip Sidney, John Davies of Hereford, Lady Anne Southwell, and Shakespeare across their manuscripts, Desai identifies in their work instances of discomposition: frustration, hesitation, self-doubt, and insecurity. Inspired to unmake their poems so that they might remake them, these poets welcomed discomposition because it catalyzed ongoing thinking and learning. Blotted Lines brings literary scholarship into conversation with modern composition studies, challenging early modern literary studies to treat writing as both noun and verb and foregrounding the ways poetry and criticism alike can model for students the cultivation of patience, collaboration, and risk in their writing.

Book Reconstructing Satyr Drama

Download or read book Reconstructing Satyr Drama written by Andreas P. Antonopoulos and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-07-05 with total page 967 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origins of satyr drama, and particularly the reliability of the account in Aristotle, remains contested, and several of this volume’s contributions try to make sense of the early relationship of satyr drama to dithyramb and attempt to place satyr drama in the pre-Classical performance space and traditions. What is not contested is the relationship of satyr drama to tragedy as a required cap to the Attic trilogy. Here, however, how Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides (to whom one complete play and the preponderance of the surviving fragments belong) envisioned the relationship of satyr drama to tragedy in plot, structure, setting, stage action and language is a complex subject tackled by several contributors. The playful satyr chorus and the drunken senility of Silenos have always suggested some links to comedy and later to Atellan farce and phlyax. Those links are best examined through language, passages in later Greek and Roman writers, and in art. The purpose of this volume is probe as many themes and connections of satyr drama with other literary genres, as well as other art forms, putting satyr drama on stage from the sixth century BC through the second century AD. The editors and contributors suggest solutions to some of the controversies, but the volume shows as much that the field of study is vibrant and deserves fuller attention.

Book Kissing the Wild Woman

    Book Details:
  • Author : Christopher Nissen
  • Publisher : University of Toronto Press
  • Release : 2011
  • ISBN : 1442643404
  • Pages : 345 pages

Download or read book Kissing the Wild Woman written by Christopher Nissen and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giulia Bigolina's (ca. 1516-ca. 1569) Urania (ca. 1552) is the oldest known prose romance to have been written by an Italian woman. In Kissing the Wild Woman, Christopher Nissen explores the unique aesthetic vision and innovative narrative features of Bigolina's greatest surviving work, in which she fashioned a new type of narrative that combined elements of the romance and the novella and included a polemical treatise on the moral implications of portraiture and the role of women in the arts. Demonstrating that Bigolina challenged cultural authority by rejecting the prevailing views of both painting and literature, Nissen discusses Bigolina's suggestion that painting constituted an ineffectual, even immoral mode of self-promotion for women in relation to the views of the contemporary writer Pietro Aretino and the painter Titian. Kissing the Wild Woman's analysis of this little-known work adds a new dimension to the study of Renaissance aesthetics in relation to art history, Renaissance thought, women's studies, and Italian literature.

Book Women in the Ancient World

Download or read book Women in the Ancient World written by John Peradotto and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1987-04-15 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the reasons for the study of the Greek and Roman classics is their perpetual relevance. In no area can this position be more clearly defended than in the investigation of the feminine condition, for it was here that basic attitudes derogatory to the sex were molded by legal and social systems, by philosophers and poets, and by the thinking of men long since gone. Women in the Ancient World brings together essays that examine philosophy, social history, literature, and art, and that extend from the early Greek period through the Roman Empire. Their wide range of critical perspectives throws new light on the personal, political, socio-economic, and cultural position of women.

Book Euripides

    Book Details:
  • Author : Christopher Collard
  • Publisher : Liverpool University Press
  • Release : 2013
  • ISBN : 1908343354
  • Pages : 539 pages

Download or read book Euripides written by Christopher Collard and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satyric is the most thinly attested genre of Greek drama, but it appears to have been the oldest and according to Aristotle formative for tragedy. By the 5th Century BC at Athens it shared most of its compositional elements with tragedy, to which it became an adjunct; for at the annual great dramatic festivals, it was performed only together with, and after, the three tragedies which each poet was required to present in competition. It was in contrast with them, aesthetically and emotionally, its plays being considerably shorter and simpler; coarse and half-way to comedy, it burlesqued heroic and tragic myth, frequently that just dramatised and performed in the tragedies. Euripides' Cyclops is the only satyr-play which survives complete. It is generally held to be the poet's late work, but its companion tragedies are not identifiable. Its title alone signals its content, Odysseus' escape from the one-eyed, man-eating monster, familiar from Book 9 of Homer's Odyssey. Because of its uniqueness, Cyclops could afford only a limited idea of satyric drama's range, which the many but brief quotations from other authors and plays barely coloured. Our knowledge and appreciation of the genre have been greatly enlarged, however, by recovery since the early 20th Century of considerable fragments of Aeschylus, Euripides' predecessor, and of Sophocles, his contemporary – but not, so far, of Euripides himself. This volume provides English readers for the first time with all the most important texts of satyric drama, with facing-page translation, substantial introduction and detailed commentary. It includes not only the major papyri, but very many shorter fragments of importance, both on papyrus and in quotation, from the 5th to the 3rd Centuries; there are also one or two texts whose interest lies in their problematic ascription to the genre at all. The intention is to illustrate it as fully as practicable.

Book excerpt: Each month, Josie eagerly anticipates the thrill of being chased by monsters. This month, she stumbles upon a breathtaking Satyr who captivates her with his irresistible charm and his alluring music. Sylas lures the sweet Josie to him with the enchanting melody from his flute. The moment she runs, he knows he needs to chase after her, to capture her heart and keep it for eternity. Satyrs do not share. Excerpt: “It would be my absolute pleasure to chase you,” Sylas said and kissed me again. The kiss turned heated, and I moaned when his tongue met mine in a fiery passion. Our bodies melded together. His rock-hard length was trapped between us. Before I could grab him, he stepped away breaking our kiss. “Now, run little faun,” Sylas said and he put the flute back at his lips. A hauntingly quick tone came out of it, making my heart flutter in my chest. I turned around and ran away from the mixer deeper into the woods. I should have probably done all the paperwork and necessary stuff beforehand, but all I cared about now was this Satyr giving me what I craved. The music followed me into the forest. I couldn’t hear his footsteps, only that beautiful tone he produced with his flute. Suddenly, the music was in front of me. I slid to a stop, turned around, and heard the music again. It felt like it was all around me, boxing me in, making me freeze in the middle of the woods. It slowly died down, and I could hear his footsteps coming closer to me. I ran in the opposite direction, his musical laugh following me. He played the flute again, this time a quicker tone, that rose as fast as my heartbeat. I could hear him following me now, the tone and his footsteps coming closer. My legs trembled as I could feel the adrenaline rush through me. I was ready for him to catch me, and take me. --------- Reader advisory: This story contains explicit sex scenes between a human and a Satyr.
