In 1991, Laura Slatkin published The Power of Thetis: Allusion and Interpretation in the Iliad, in which she argued that Homer knowingly situated the storyworld of the Iliad against the backdrop of an older world of mythos by which the events in the Iliad are explained and given traction. Slatkin’s focus was on Achilles’ mother, Thetis: an ostensibly marginal and powerless goddess, Thetis nevertheless drives the plot of the Iliad, being allusively credited with the power to uphold or challenge the rule of Zeus. Now, almost thirty years after Slatkin’s publication, this timely volume re-examines depictions and receptions of this ambiguous goddess, in works ranging from archaic Greek poetry to twenty-first century cinema. Twenty authors build upon Slatkin’s readings to explore Thetis and multiple roles she played in Western literature, art, material culture, religion, and myth. Ever the shapeshifter, Thetis has been and continues to be reconceptualised: supporter or opponent of Zeus’ regime, model bride or unwilling victim of Peleus’ rape, good mother or child-murderess, figure of comedy or monstrous witch. Hers is an enduring power of transformation, resonating within art and literature.

We have long recognized in the Iliad the hallmarks of the oral, traditional poet who chooses among alternative arrangements of formulaic elements. In The Power of Thetis, Laura M. Slatkin makes us aware of another compositional resource, just as crucial to our understanding of the meaning of Homeric epic. Slatkin shows how, through the selection and combination of mythic motifs, Homer interprets mythological traditions and locates his characters within them by allusion or oblique reference. The figure of Thetis, the mother of Achilles, provides an especially revealing example of the way in which such mythological resonance contributes a wider context and meaning to the epic's central themes. Slatkin teaches us to listen for what is unspoken as well as spoken in the poetry of Homer, and thereby confronts us with the larger questions of the function of epic and its boundaries as a genre.

Captivating and carnal, With Love, Thetis rivets and enchants readers. Its language is both sensual and erotic. Suggestive, it elicits romance. Seductive, it evokes passion. With Love, Thetis combines old-world methods with new-wave fashion. While the rhyming may be reminiscent of old-fashioned form, the voice and style are contemporary. The outcome is both traditional and modern. With rhythmic charm and subtle tone, With Love, Thetis fascinates readers. Charming, the main scenario revolves around a lovesick goddess, Thetis, who writes love letters to the gods. Among others, some of her correspondents include Apollo, Ares, Poseidon and Dionysus. When Thetis becomes aware of her infidelity at the end of the book, she writes an apology to her husband, Peleus. Sensational, the letters are glamorous. Splendid, the letters invite us into a work of fiction where amorous content animates each page. Fabulous, the letters are unsurpassed. Overall, With Love, Thetis is a book to enjoy.

Bogen beskriver den nybyggede britiske ubåd Thetis skæbne og historie. Thetis sank under prøvesejladserne den 1. juni 1939. Om bord var besætning samt teknisk personale, i alt 103, hvoraf kun fire overlevede. Grunden til at Thetis forlis er blevet et kendt navn i ubådsverdenen var måden forliset foregik på. På grund af en tilstoppet hane i lugen for enden af et torpedorør endte det med, at besætningen kom til at åbne lugen til torpedorøret mens det der var åbent ud til havet. Resultatet blev katastrofalt. Det har efterfølgende resulteret i, at ubådskonstruktioner efter 2. Verdenskrig har fået særlige mekaniske indretninger, så en tilsvarende ulykke kan undgås. Thetis genopstod som ubåden Thunderbolt, der gennemførte adskillige vellykkede krigspatruljer i Middelhavet, men den 14. marts 1943 mødte den sin skæbne vest for Sicilien, da den blev sænket at en italiensk korvet, hvilket er udførligt beskrevet.

On 1 June 1939 His Majestys Submarine Thetis sank in Liverpool Bay while on her diving trials. Her loss is still the worst peacetime submarine disaster the Royal Navy has yet faced when ninety-nine men drowned or slowly suffocated during their last fifty hours of life.The disaster became an international media event, mainly because the trapped souls aboard were so near to being saved after they managed to raise her stern about 18 ft above sea level. Still the Royal Navy-led rescue operation failed to find the submarine for many hours, only to rescue four of all those trapped. Very little is known about what actually happened, as the only comprehensive book written on the subject was published in 1958.Many years have now passed since the Thetis and her men died, for which no one was held to be ultimately accountable. However, a great deal of unpublished information has come to light in archives throughout the United Kingdom and beyond. After four years of painstaking research Thetis; The Slow Death of a Submarine explores in minute detail a more rounded picture of what really happened before, during and after her tragic loss. In doing so Tony Booths book also takes a fresh look at culpability and explores some of the alleged conspiracy theories that surrounded her demise.The result is the first definitive account what happened to HMS Thetis and her men a fitting tribute, as the seventieth anniversary of her loss will be on 1 June 2009.

Second in the thrilling saga following Achilles, the novel praised as “Lost meets The 100 . . . action-packed YA science fiction” (Peachy Keen Reviews). Blind and broken, orphaned teenager Jonah Lincoln reluctantly boards a rescue ship bound for the planet Thetis, but not before it picks up a few more surprising and dangerous survivors from the massacre on the moon Achilles. After regaining his sight, Jonah sees the gated colony on Thetis is just as he feared—cloaked in mystery and under an oppressive rule with no one to trust—and that outside the walls, it’s even worse. Surrounded by terrifying new landscapes and creatures, Jonah and his friends fight to save the colony and restore order to the planet. Just as Jonah grasps his near-impossible mission, the alien voices from Achilles return, pushing him to discover the truth about the Silver Foot Galaxy and his role in both its future and past. And when another ship arrives, it’s then Jonah knows he has to make the ultimate sacrifice. Praise for Achilles “A compelling cast of supporting characters keeps the pages moving. An action-packed second and third act will keep readers engrossed until the end of this sci-fi survivalist series starter.”—Booklist “This sci-fi thriller is perfect for teens, with strong writing and intriguing characters whose disparate temperaments, capabilities, and goals drive the story.”—School Library Journal
