It's fascinating how these mythical creatures are brought to life by use of poems. It's an exciting piece of art. It was worth reading. it increases the love for Greek mythology.

From the title, the fact that it's poetry, to the ancient Greek mythologies that are intricately detailed, I say the poet did a unique job. I would absolutely love this book.

Wow! I haven't heard or read any poems regarding Classical or Ancient Greece, plus it involves mythology! So this awakens a spark of firing interest in me! Thanks for the wonderful review! I think I would be reading this soon!

While this looks like an excellent work, I do believe I'll pass on this one as it's not the style of writing I enjoy. Beautifully written review though!

I love ancient myths and legends, but sadly will have to skip this book, because my current English language knowledge lever don't allow me to fully appreciate something as sophisticated as the poetry. Anyway, congratulations with BOTD!

In the Land of Myth: Orphean Sonnets seems like an enchanting read. Fans of classical literature are in for a treat with this one. Splendid review.

The book sounds great. But I will be passing it. It doesn't pick my interest. Checking dictionary here and there is not my thing. Congrats all the same.

I do not enjoy poetry because it often seems abstract and confusing. However, your beautiful review of this classical Greek mythology paints a beautiful picture of poetic fiction and makes this one book I'd like to read anytime soon. Thanks for your wonderful review.

This collection of poems inspires and educates readers. It's curious that some of the poems are translated but others require a dictionary. I enjoyed your motivational review. Thanks for the recommendation!

I like how this collection of poems evoke a wide range of emotions that change swiftly. Classic poems are very interesting especially when they are authored by a knowledgeable person. I also like that this book was edited expertly. Thanks for this amazing review.

Now that I read your review after I read the sample, I became more interested of giving the book a try. Although I'm not interested in the greek mythology as I find it a bit hard to understand. However, thank you for the review

This sounds like an interesting collection of sonnets. I can imagine allowing time to learn or refresh your memory on Greek history would be helpful in getting the most out of this book. Thank you for your thorough and excellent review!
