Long ago, when gods and heroes walked the earth in triumph and tragedy, true love and epic deeds were set among the stars... In the ancient land of Greece, at a time when kings warred and the people suffered, the Fates fixed their timeless eyes upon the son of a muse, and his story inspired hope and beauty in a ravaged world. Raised by the daughters of Zeus in the shadow of Mount Olympus, Orpheus is filled with a love of the world, of creation, and of song. Wherever he goes, whatever he does, he inspires mortals, birds, beasts, and even the Gods with his music. He is blessed with a humility and unmatched skill that make him the greatest musician of the age. However, when the god Apollo tells Orpheus that he has more to learn, the young man leaves the safety of his home to wander the world in search of his destiny. Having travelled alone into the vast northern forests of Thrace, Orpheus discovers that elusive gift granted to few mortals or gods: True Love. In the love and friendship of the nymph, Eurydice, Orpheus comes to understand one of the greatest mysteries of the world. He is inspired in all things, and his music reaches unimagined heights of beauty. But the Fates can be cruel, the world barbarous, and the greatest gifts given, including love, can be taken away. When Eurydice’s light is suddenly extinguished from Orpheus’ life, the musician must make a choice. He can live a life without his only love and let the world tear itself to pieces, or he can make a journey that would terrify even the bravest of heroes to rescue his love and bring her back into the light. Will Orpheus be able to cross the dark plains of the Underworld and bring Eurydice back? Or will he lose his soul, and his love, for daring to challenge the Fates? The only way he can succeed is to plumb the depths of his deepest emotions and play like he has never played before... A Song for the Underworld is an epic retelling of the story of Orpheus and Eurydice from Greek mythology. It is the third book in the Mythologia fantasy series by best-selling and award-winning author and historian, Adam Alexander Haviaras. If you enjoy books by Madeline Miller, Stephen Fry, Natalie Haynes or Jennifer Saint then you will love the Mythologia series. Read A Song for the Underworld today and experience the greatest love story of the ancient world!

This is a new collection of poems by the author of In the Twilight and his novel Purgatorio. These verses hark back to the golden dawn of a flowering Greece, to celebrate a unity of nature, to give rein to our spiritual yearnings and sense of discovery, letting the divine minstrel, Orpheus, enchant us with the euphoric strains of his hymns, allow us to imagine the hypnotic effect of the sounding of his harp and make us long ever more ardently for this wondrous land of sagacity and myth. Quotes from the Online Book Club (www.OnlineBookClub.org) that reviewed my previous book of poems entitled In the Twilight: "The central themes of this collection are reflection and love into a bygone era, filled with drama, celebration, and a hint of tragedy." "I treasure poetry chiefly as it teaches us to express emotion, deep feelings, and appreciate the beauty around us. The poems in the book do not disappoint . . ." Bernard Kuckuck is a Canadian author who lives in the French-speaking province of Quebec. He also writes poetry in several other languages and is especially motivated to explore those eras that had a deeply rooted effect on the flowering of our civilization.

Winner of the Translation Prize for non-fiction from the French-American Foundation. Son of a mortal king and an immortal Muse, Orpheus possessed a gift for music unmatched among humans; with his lyre he could turn the course of rivers, drown the fatal song of the Sirens, and charm the denizens of the underworld. The allure of his music speaks through the myths and stories of the Greeks and Romans, who tell of his mysterious compositions, with lyrics that only the initiated could understand after undergoing secret rites. Where readers of subsequent centuries have been content to understand these mysteries as the stuff of obfuscation or mere folderol, Marcel Detienne finds in the writing of Orpheus a key to the thinking of the ancient Greeks. A profound understanding of ancient Greek myth in its cultural contexts allows Detienne to recover a cultural system from fragments and ephemera—to reproduce, with sensitivity to variation and nuance, the full richness of the mythological repertoire flowing from the writing of Orpheus. His investigation moves from the Orphic writings to broader mysteries: how Greek gods became myths, how myths informed later religious thinking, and how myths have come into play in polemics between competing religions. An eloquent answer to some of the most vexing questions about the myth of Orpheus and its far-reaching ramifications through time and culture, Detienne's work ultimately offers a major rethinking of Greek mythology.

A poet journeys into the underworld to rescue his bride His name is Orpheus, and he is the greatest poet on Earth. With his lyre, he can make music so beautiful it causes the gods to weep, but they are not who he wants to impress. Orpheus has been in love with Eurydice ever since the first time he heard her voice, and to win her love he sings the most beautiful songs in history. On the day of their wedding, when Orpheus feels happiness just within his grasp, Eurydice is bitten by a snake and dies. The groom is heartbroken, but undaunted. He will rescue his beloved—even if he must battle death itself. Orpheus’s path is fraught with untold dangers, but he presses on—and a tragic yet beautiful love story emerges from this radical reworking of an ancient tale.

Not illustrated. 1882 edition. Excerpt: ... PREFACE TO THE O'NEILL'S GATHERING OF THE IRISH CLANS. LEST it may be inferred from the language put into the mouth of The O'Neill, in the following poem, that his real character was that of a haughty and bloodthirsty barbarian, it will be proper to allude briefly to the part he played at an eventful period of his country's history; and to mention the circumstances that might have induced him to give utterance to the ardent sentiments attributed to him. Listening with avidity, in the halls of his ancestors, to the history and traditions of his family, and to the songs of the bards that embalmed the deeds of heroes since the days cf" Nial of the Nine Hostages," O'Neill early imbibed a hearty hatred and jealousy of those invaders who despised the history, tongue, and customs of his race. The English Pale was pointed at, by the native Irish, as a blemish that ought not to be tolerated in the land of a free and ancient people. It was believed also, that the Palesmen eagerly awaited the moment when they might with impunity seize the whole country, and enslave the native possessors who had held it in freedom from time immemorial. Almost as early in life as he leamt his rude lesson of patriotism, O'Neill acquired, in a very different school, the smoother art of statecraft. In quite early youth, and frequently afterwards, we find him at the splendid Court of Queen Elizabeth, learning to wind and unravel the mazy threads of intrigue that entangled almost everyone within the circle of her Court. The acute Irish Chieftain became a clever adept in diplomacy, and successfully plotted to win the smile of that most discerning sovereign. The perfect knowledge he obtained of the characteristics of Saxon and Celt, from his intimate connection with both...
