Download or read book Calliope written by Mark Pucci and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-07-21 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calliope is a literary novel. In its simplest form, it is the story of a man longing to become the young, idealistic person he once was when the world seemed completely open to promise. It is the desire to re-experience life with all the naiveté and hope of romantic youth. In its allegorical form, the story explores such themes as purpose, morality, social convention, materialism and happiness.When the protagonist meets an orange-haired girl, his life is forever altered. Her name is Calliope, and what occurs throughout the rest of the novel is a wild, episodic fugue. The flight becomes a frenetic interlacing through wilderness and civilization, this being an allusion to Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Discourse on Inequality. The wilderness comes to represent a path back to the primal self, while civilization is more dubious representing both the potential for corruption, as well as the great heights of artistic and rational endeavors. Yet while on the journey, the protagonist is forced to look at life anew in part due to the somewhat unscrupulous efforts of Calliope. Morality is examined through the eyes of Calliope, who is by all intensive purposes Greek, which means pre-Christian. Her moral code is not affected by the guilt of Christianity. Her nakedness throughout the novel in part symbolizes a complete lack of shame. As for her beliefs, an understanding of Friedrich Nietzsche's perspectivism best represents her values. This allows the protagonist an opportunity to erase everything that he has learned. All custom, all forms of etiquette, religious belief, habit and convention must be forgotten in order to re-experience the world with the sense of wonderment he so eagerly longs for. With no ties to the world, he embarks upon an epic voyage of silliness and profound examination. Lured along by this electric, orange-haired muse, he becomes convinced that she is either bent upon his supreme salvation or utter damnation. What is so amazing about the entire journey is where they both end up—a location which seems to be the last place the protagonist was in complete control of his destiny. Therefore, a true chance to begin again is perhaps realized.

Book Synopsis Homer the Preclassic by : Gregory Nagy
Download or read book Homer the Preclassic written by Gregory Nagy and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2017-02-24 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homer the Preclassic considers the development of the Homeric poems-in particular the Iliad and Odyssey-during the time when they were still part of the oral tradition. Gregory Nagy traces the evolution of rival “Homers” and the different versions of Homeric poetry in this pretextual period, reconstructed over a time frame extending back from the sixth century BCE to the Bronze Age. Accurate in their linguistic detail and surprising in their implications, Nagy's insights conjure the Greeks' nostalgia for the imagined “epic space” of Troy and for the resonances and distortions this mythic past provided to the various Greek constituencies for whom the Homeric poems were so central and definitive.

Book Synopsis The First Poets by : Michael Schmidt
Download or read book The First Poets written by Michael Schmidt and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-04-07 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dazzling literary exploration by acclaimed poet and critic Michael Schmidt, The First Poets brings to life for the general reader the great Greek poets who gave our poetic tradition its first bearings and whose works have had an enduring influence on our literature and our imagination. Starting with the legendary and possibly mythical Orpheus and with Homer, Schmidt conjures a host of our literary forebears. From Hipponax, “the dirty old man of poetry,” to Theocritus, the father of pastoral; from Sappho, who threw herself from a cliff for love, to Hesiod, who claimed a visit from the Muses–the stories in The First Poets masterfully merge fact and conjecture into animated and compelling portraits of these ancestors of our culture.
Book Synopsis The Poetry Oracle by : Amber Guetebier
Download or read book The Poetry Oracle written by Amber Guetebier and published by CCC Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10-31 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining poetry with divination, this collection resurrects the ancient Greek art of Rhapsodomancy, or divining one's fortune or destiny through the use of poetry or verse. Harkening back to antiquity, when Polyhymnia—the muse of sacred poetry—and Calliope—the muse of epic poetry—were invoked for guidance, each page of this anthology contains three poetic excerpts, chosen for their oracular wisdom. Readers are asked to contemplate a question and then randomly select an excerpt, which will offer revelations and inspiration for further contemplation. Excerpts are drawn from poets throughout the ages, including Sappho, Li Po, Rumi, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Dylan Thomas, William Blake, and J.R.R. Tolkien. Though designed as a prophetic tool, it can also be used as an introduction to some of the world's greatest poets.
