Odes, hymns, and lyrics from many of Greece's most noted classical poets--including Homer, Hesiod, Sappho, Sophocles, and Euripides--are beautifully illustrated here with details of ancient Greek frescoes, vase paintings, and sculptures. Over the centuries, celebrated writers such as George Chapman, Mary Barnard, John Dryden, Alexander Pope, and W. B. Yeats have been inspired to create contemporary translations of these enduring verses. In this volume are their and other modern poets' captivating translations, accompanied by the original Greek text. This lively combination of the poetry and illustrations, along with notes on each poet and on archaeological sites such as Knossos, Akrotiri, Mycenae, Lipari, and Paestum where the Greek art objects in this book were excavated, makes this volume a perfect introduction to Greek verse.
Kengor for shedding light on this topic and I look forward to his future works.. It really made me reconsider and evaluate a lot of what I had been doing with guided reading.. However, during certain passages, I felt he was either striving to make it to the magical 500-page hurdle, or simply would have benefited from better editing. His approach to one's frame of mind in working in this technique is inspiring. Book arrived in excellent condition. Ken Liu's translation of Cixin Liu's original Chinese language novel, "San ti" (2008) comes across seamlessly in the spare, translated English prose (though I cannot speak as to the authenticity of the translation, rather, just the style). No doctor will tell you about this because cancer is big business. I recommend this book to all love sics, to all lovers. Hope when this series is done the author goes onto writing another one equally as enjoyable.. I am a little astounded at the previous reviewers low rating. The language is simple for anyo
