While I was reading, I remember the rich Greek mythology. The author's poetic way to convey the readers is subliminal.
Reading is a journey to the world.

This poetry book transports readers to ancient Greece and introduces readers, to the master poets of that era. Readers need to be warned, however, that the book is laden with unfamiliar vocabulary that will force them to have a dictionary on standby.

Thank you for sharing your review with us. I’m not a big fan of poetry, so I think I will pass on this one.

Latest Review: "Puffy and the Formidable Foe" by Marie Lepkowski and Ann Marie Hannon

One of the questions that came up after reading the introduction was whether the book would stir up the ancient awe and reverence where poets were perceived as teachers and holy people. Fortunately, the author surpassed this expectation.
A nice reflection.

I agree that this type of book would need a glossary. Still, it sounds intriguing. Thanks for a great review.
