John David Ebert--prolific culture critic, lecturer and poet-- retells the Orpheus myth for the hypermodern age. The fate of Orpheus's lover Eurydice, today, Ebert suggests, is comparable to having one's "electronic avatar" erased from the digitalsphere, or more accurately to lose access to another's digital presence-- e.g. unfriended, blocked, deleted, etc, etc.-- such that they disappear from all the screens of one's life.It appears there's a new literary movement in the making and the world is well-advised to watch Ebert and friends carefully as they remake the literary landscape. Eurydice may never be rescued, but fortunately for our cultural-historical moment Orpheus, perhaps like the author himself, is still trying as Ebert renders vividly for us here with a dazzling electrical radiance highlighting Orpheus's struggle throughout the mercurial landscapes of the mediasphere reminiscent of such classic works of cyber-fiction as "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" or "Neuromancer."--Michael Aaron Kamins, author of Absences (poetry) and Clouds (poetry)

The Orphic hymns sing anew to a contemporary audience. Keeney infuses the hymns with a fresh intensity and relevance and by adding two 21st century narrators (an unnamed male and female voice who "comment" after each hymn) she creates a dialogue between the old and the new.

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!

In this collection of poems, John David Ebert exhumes the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, transplanting it into the contemporary anatomy of digital hypercapitalist consumer modernity. In the "world interior" configured by this realm of bytes, bits and data, human souls are captured and imprisoned within lattices of light which restructure the underworld of the ancients to become a phantom world of ghosts, avatars and idorus that currently surrounds us today. The reissue of this poetry collection now features the art of Mary Church in FULL COLOR.

For at least two and a half millennia, the figure of Orpheus has haunted humanity. Half-man, half-god, musician, magician, theologian, poet and lover, his story never leaves us. He may be myth, but his lyre still sounds, entrancing everything that hears it: animals, trees, water, stones, and men. In this extraordinary work Ann Wroe goes in search of Orpheus, from the forests where he walked and the mountains where he worshipped to the artefacts, texts and philosophies built up round him. She traces the man, and the power he represents, through the myriad versions of a fantastical life: his birth in Thrace, his studies in Egypt, his voyage with the Argonauts to fetch the Golden Fleece, his love for Eurydice and journey to Hades, and his terrible death. We see him tantalising Cicero and Plato, and breathing new music into Gluck and Monteverdi; occupying the mind of Jung and the surreal dreams of Cocteau; scandalising the Fathers of the early Church, and filling Rilke with poems like a whirlwind. He emerges as not simply another mythical figure but the force of creation itself, singing the song of light out of darkness and life out of death.

Excerpt from Orpheus: A General History of Religions Why docs the name of Orpheus, "the first of the world's singers," as Lefrane de Pompignan called him, appear on the title-page of this volume? Because he was not merely "the first singer," though the Greeks knew of poems by him which they held to be much earlier than those of Homer. Orpheus was also, to the ancients, the theologian par excellence, founder of those mysteries which ensured the salvation of mankind, and no less essential to it as the interpreter of the gods. Horace designates him thus: Sneer interpresque deonmi. He it was who revealed first to the Thracians and afterwards to the other Greeks the necessary knowledge of things divine. True, he never existed ; but this is of little moment. Orphism existed and, as Jules Girard has justly said, it was the most interesting fact in the religious history of the Greeks. It was something more, something still better. Not only did Orphism enter deeply into the literature, philosophy and art of the ancient world; it survived them. The figure of Orpheus charming the beasts with his lvre is the only mythological motive which appears and recurs in the Christian paintings of the catacombs. The fathers of the church were persuaded that Orpheus was the disciple of Moses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
