The archaeologist Schliemann, after having discovered the ruins of Troy, goes to Greece together with his wife Sofia to carry out excavations in the ancient city of Mycenae. This magic place brought new finds and he found treasures that made his archaeological adventures unique in history. He is assisted by his faithful friends to whom were added a reckless young girl, Zirl, who gets up to all kinds of things. Between attacks by bandits, a very enjoyable (and also interesting) visit to Athens, the tale of Ulysses' voyage takes place. This time it is Sofia who relates the adventures of the great hero. And it is not clear if Ulysses' experiences or those of the reckless group of participants in this story are more fascinating.

Eve of the Festival is a study of Homeric myth-making in the first and longest dialogue between Penelope and Odysseus (Odyssey 19). The author makes a case for seeing virtuoso myth-making as an essential part of this conversation, a register of communication which provides the speakers with a coded way of exchanging their thoughts. At the core of the book is a detailed examination of several myths in the dialogue to understand what is being said and to what effect. The dialogue is interpreted as an exchange of performances which have for their occasion the eve of Apollo's festival and which amount to activating, and even enacting, the myth corresponding within the Odyssey to this ritual event. --Book Jacket.

The award-winning author of The Four Seasons retells The Odyssey from the point of view of Odysseus and Penelope's daughter. With her father Odysseus gone for twenty years, Xanthe barricades herself in her royal chambers to escape the rapacious suitors who would abduct her to gain the throne. Xanthe turns to her loom to weave the adventures of her life, from her upbringing among servants and slaves, to the years spent in hiding with her mother's cousin, Helen of Troy, to the passion of her sexual awakening in the arms of the man she loves. And when a stranger dressed as a beggar appears at the palace, Xanthe wonders who will be the one to decide her future-a suitor she loathes, a brother she cannot respect, or a father who doesn't know she exists...

This archaeological study of textiles and costume considers all aspects of early Anglo-Saxon clothing-how textiles were made in the early Anglo-Saxon settlements, how the cloth was fashioned into garments and the nature of the clasps and jewellery with which the clothes were worn. Drawing on the author's 38 years of experience, and a database of 3,800 finds, it includes a review of the primary evidence from 162 Anglo-Saxon cemeteries, where small fragments of the dead's clothes have been preserved with brooches, pins and necklaces. Regional styles of dress, the social and cultural meaning behind changing fashions, the role of women in textile production, and Scandinavian and Continental influences help to place the study in its broader historical and archaeological context. The volume is amply illustrated with line drawings of craft processes and reconstructions of individual costumes.

The book is a Supplement to a book of the same title heading - a fictional colloquy about the comings-of-age of Penelope, her sister Ipthime and her first cousins born into their royal House of Oebalos. The biography of Penelope is addressed for the difficulties of its analysis of just where her birthplace was: Aetolia or Lakonia? The Supplement also places the prehistorical analysis upon the biography of her father Ikarios and what else can be known as verifiable about her sister Iphthime. The major episodes of the sisters' girlhood years, as told by Penelope in Colloquy, are also set against the culture of the Late Helladic Greeks as we can best know them in broad setting of Lakonia, the precursor region to Lacedaemonia . The content is both culturally anthropological and and ethnological about the forbears of the natives whom the Spartans would later dominate throughout the 1st millenium BC.

This book contains poems devoted to the task of “turning matter into spirit” (Louise Nevelson). They explore the many avenues in which such alchemy takes place. Through art, sculpture, photography, science, nature and other modes, magical transformation can occur, and poetry itself becomes the alchemical vessel revealing these many approaches by which the mundane rises to the level of the transcendent. Her earlier books were clearly marked as inspired by Rumi and other writers from the ancient spiritual tradition, both in subject and style. These poems, though not so obviously “spiritual” in nature, reach out to include the many contemporary realms in which the sacred and secular fuse, divine and human merge, and the whole becomes one dazzling vision of that we call “reality.” Praise for Dorothy’s writing: “Dorothy’s words are like radiant sparks emerging from the darkness, birthed by the womb of the universe Herself, and always pointing back to their Source.” (Lawrence Edwards, Ph. D., author, “The Soul’s Journey” and “Awakening Kundalini.”)

In this thought-provoking book, the author explores the intricate dynamics of gender identity, challenging conventional ideas about what defines being a man or a woman. The narrative underscores the critical distinction between sex—biological differences—and gender—socially constructed roles. It argues that understanding identity requires recognizing the influence of both biological and cultural factors. The book begins by questioning the validity of traditional gender definitions, proposing that identity is shaped by a complex interplay between nature and culture. It delves into the philosophical aspects of life and death, suggesting that gender identity is not merely a conscious choice but a result of both biological and societal forces. Further, it scrutinizes gender theory, critiquing the notion that gender identity can be chosen independently of biology. The author asserts that while social constructs play a role, biological differences are also crucial in shaping who we are. The text also traces the historical impact of gender roles, highlighting how traditional paradigms have perpetuated inequality and how advancements like birth control have facilitated the emancipation of women. Ultimately, the book advocates for a nuanced understanding of gender identity, emphasizing the need to critically examine societal norms and promote greater equality and autonomy. It calls for philosophical inquiry to challenge ingrained assumptions, offering profound insights for both men and women, though it suggests men, in particular, may gain from its exploration of femininity. This nearly 600-page volume offers a comprehensive analysis that is difficult to condense, but it promises to touch deep layers of our understanding of gender and identity. Woman gives us life, nurtures us, shares intimacy, and embraces us in death, embodying the cycle of existence, which is inherently feminine. Man, emerging from this feminine essence, realizes he is both her son and brother, sharing the human experience. "At this point, why not speak of universal incest? We didn't seek another half but discovered an inseparable entity in the incomprehensible whole. Thus, we were brothers in myth, before incest became sacrilegious." REVIEWS and WORDS OF PRAISE I didn't know what to expect from a book about women written by a man. You expect maybe the usual clichés.... AND REALLY NO, THIS TIME A MAN DID IT. --From Stefania's review, editorial staff of www.leggereacolori.com [This] work did not disappoint me. It definitely held up to expectations, exceeding them. --Review by Martina Tafuri [We] can safely say that his work was judged to be a very informative and engaging read, very well written and sure to intrigue a wide audience. --Austin Macauley Publishers, London and New York

Penelope's Web, published in 1991, was the first book to examine fully the brilliantly innovative prose writing of Hilda Doolittle. H. D.'s reputation as a major modernist poet has grown dramatically; but she also deserves to be known for her innovative novels and essays.
