A Collection of Original Poetry Based Upon Greek and Roman Mythology
Introduction to the Collection
This book will take the reader on an exciting, mystical and exhilarating journey back in time, where he may examine, learn and reflect upon the mythological history of our present day culture.
Historical Roots
This collection of original poems is rooted in the popular historical religious beliefs and anecdotes of Ancient Greece and Rome, elements and fragments of which have been handed down through the centuries and have profoundly influenced our lives.
Mythological Expressions in Daily Discourse
In our daily discourse we continually employ meaningful and descriptive expressions, which are derived from mythological tales and personalities, such as "Trojan horse," "Pandora's box," "Gordian knot," "bacchanalian," "Spartan," "platonic," "aurora," "Herculean," "Achilles heel" and many more.
Names and Inspirations
We have also named cities and planets after them, such as "Athens" and "Jupiter."
Poetic Introduction
In this collection the reader will be pleasantly introduced to the origins of these expressions through the delightful medium of lyrical poetry.
