Did he ever actually exist? Boston editor Edward Burbage is given a unique opportunity to find out. Hes invited to Merlins home on Mertowney Mountain to interview him. The invitation includes free transportation, and Merlins mountain is not in this world, and for that matter, how on Earth could Burbage be talking to Merlin anyway?

Hes worked as initiator, war-god, slayer of inimical spirits, prophet, seer, a guide to the soul in the after-life, geomancer, terraformer, a fisher up of islands, and especially a devoted field agent to the Great Mother, Herself operating under many guises such as Morrigan, Isis, Changing Woman, and Hera. But why has Edward Burbage been brought to Mertowney Mountain? Its not just so Merlin can tell his true story. Merlin has a plan for him, and hes preparing things all the time hes recounting his exploits. Edward Burbage has a key role to play in the next installment of the long life of Merlin.

Book excerpt: Defying the gods comes at a hefty cost. King Sisyphus is a man hated by the gods, a trickster and a rogue who outwitted the Olympians and cheated death not once, but twice. He is forever forced to pay for his defiance by pushing a boulder up a hill in the depths of Tartarus. When an unusual traveler approaches Sisyphus, the king reveals the untold story behind the myth. Sisyphus grew up appalled by his father’s blind worship for the gods. He decided to create his own kingdom, one that would not pay tribute to any deity, where humans would forge their own destiny. But prophecies spoken by an ancient being said his life would always be a struggle for survival, and resilience would be his best ally. When a clever action meant to save his kingdom brought Sisyphus against the most powerful of the Olympians, the battle for his soul began. After giving up his own freedom to build a place where humans could forge their own destiny, will King Sisyphus spend eternity paying the price—or will he outwit the gods one last time?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays, published in honour of Professor Georgia Xanthakis-Karamanos, addresses topics which lie at the forefront of current research on the fields of Greek drama and classical reception studies. It brings together internationally distinguished scholars who provide fresh insights into issues pertaining to the origins of Greek tragedy and comedy, their generic identity, the structure, the morality or the divine and human characters emerging from individual plays, the presence of Greek drama outside Athens in post-classical times, the associations between drama and genres such as epic and oratory or even the reception of Greek drama in operatic works such as Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde. Related art forms, such as music, receive particular attention. Focusing on either broader topics or specific texts, the essays of this volume provide a wide range of theoretical perspectives often combining modern critical trends such as reception studies, narratology or cultural studies with close and acute readings of individual passages. The volume is of particular interest to scholars and students of Greek drama and its reception as well as to anyone interested in Greek culture and its various manifestations.
