Book Synopsis Bright Air Black by : David Vann Bright
Download or read book Bright Air Black written by David Vann Bright and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “sensual, brutal . . . ambitious, dazzling, disturbing, and memorable” retelling of Jason and the Argonauts seen through the eyes of Medea (Financial Times). International bestselling and multi-prize-winning author David Vann transports readers to the Mediterranean and Black Sea, 3,250 years ago, for “[a] stunning depiction of one of mythology’s most complex characters” (The Australian). It is thirteenth century BC, and the Argo is bound for its epic return journey across the Black Sea from Persia’s Colchis with the valiant Jason, the equally heroic Argonauts, and the treasured symbol of kingship, the Golden Fleece. Aboard as well is Medea, semi-divine priestess, and a believer in power, not gods. Having fled her father, and butchered her brother, she is embarking on a conquest of her own. Rejected for her gender, Medea is hungry for revenge, and to right the egregious fate of being born a woman in a world ruled by men. In Bright Air Black, “David Vann blow[s] away all the elegance and toga-clad politeness . . . around our idea of ancient Greece . . . to reveal the bare bones of the Archaic period in all their bloody, reeking nastiness (The Times, London), and to deliver a bracing alternative to the long-held notions of Medea as monster or sorceress. We witness Medea’s humanity, her Bronze Age roots and position in Greek society, her love affair with Jason, the cataclysmic repercussions of betrayal, and the drive of an impassioned woman—victim, survivor, and ultimately, agent of her own destiny. The most intimate and corporal version of Medea’s story ever told, Bright Air Black “a compelling study of human nature stripped to its most elemental” (The Guardian).

She has been many things over the years, but to both ancient devotees and modern day Witches, she is the goddess of death. #2 I had been dedicated to the goddess Hekate, and I had created the spiritual community I had always hoped to find through her.

She was a Titan who helped overthrow the old way of life to make way for the new.

Download or read book The Three Faces of Hecate written by Fernando SANTORO and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Storyline:Eurydice�s parents require her to marry a prince from another kingdom, but she flees the palace to find Zeus, her true love. Orpheus accompanies her on this insane journey which is full of dangers and mythological beings. The goddess Hecate helps them secretly. Synopsis:The feature film "The Three Faces of Hecate" is set in ancient Greece, in a village near the Aegean Sea. A young princess named Eurydice lives there with her mother and two older sisters. One day, Eurydice listens, hidden, to her sisters' conversation. One tells the other one about the God Zeus's love affairs, saying that he can turn into any creature to seduce women. The two seem euphoric, thinking that they could also be lovers of this god. Princess Eurydice, at the time only seven years old, is intrigued by the story, and begins to think that Zeus may appear for her, too, in the form of an animal. First, as she wanders alone in the woods, a butterfly lands on her nose, and she looks cross-eyed at the insect and says, "Zeus?". Then, as Eurydice grows up, she asks every animal that approaches her the same question: "Zeus?". Concurrently, with these first scenes, we meet another character, Orpheus, a commoner boy who grew up with Eurydice in the palace where his mother is a servant. Orpheus is in love with Eurydice from the beginning, but she does not realize that. When Eurydice gets older, her mother informs her that she will have to marry a prince from another realm, in an arranged marriage for political and financial interests. But the young woman does not want to marry, so one night she dreams of Hecate, with her three forms (a young woman, an old woman, and an elderly woman), who tells her that she will have to make a choice between three paths. Upon awakening, Eurydice does not understand the prophetic dream and, thinking that she is in love with Zeus, she decides to escape the arranged marriage with the prince by traveling to Mount Olympus to meet the God Zeus. Orpheus tries to warn her of the dangers of this journey but, because she does not listen to his advice, he decides to go with her on this insane trip, and the two flee from the kingdom. On the way to Mount Olympus, they face a series of dangers and a wide array of mythological beings: on the land, at sea, in the sky, and down in the underworld. Throughout their journey, Hecate helps Eurydice and Orpheus secretly. At the end of this trip, at the foot of Mount Olympus, Eurydice gives up searching for Zeus because she realizes that everything she thought about him was an illusion. At this moment, Hecate shows herself to Eurydice and tells her that she now has only two paths to choose from since she has already eliminated one of them. But the young princess tells Hecate that she cannot see two paths, but only one, which is to return to her kingdom and marry the prince. Her parents had betrothed her, she reasons, and the union would ensure harmony between the two kingdoms. Eurydice and Orpheus start on their way back to the kingdom but, during the trip, Orpheus risks his life for her and almost dies. Only then does the princess realize that Orpheus is the other path Hecate was trying to show her. After caring for Orpheus, Eurydice realizes that she loves him. She decides to stay with the young man and not with the prince. She ends up opting for her true love, Orpheus, discarding the other two paths: an illusion of love for a god, and a marriage of convenience to a stranger. The story uses mythological imagery to plumb the depths of the feminine imagination that has inspired people down through the ages. Eurydice's determination drives the story forward, and it is her choice in the end which brings resolution.
