Clodia: A Sourcebook (Oklahoma Series in Classical Culture) Overview

A striking portrait of one of the most fascinating women in Roman history

Noble and notorious, the flamboyant Clodia Metelli was the object of passion in poetry and prose in ancient Rome and appears in more written sources than any other woman of her day. Cicero, in a famous oration, branded her a whore yet in private correspondence mentions seeking her help. Her stormy affair with the poet Catullus—the Western world’s first recorded romance with a real and richly characterized woman—had a profound influence on erotic literature.

Bringing together works by Cicero, Catullus, and others in which Clodia plays a part, Julia Dyson Hejduk has produced a striking portrait of one of the most fascinating women in Roman history. Her accurate and accessible English translations include not only all the classical texts that mention Clodia, but also a substantial selection of Roman erotic poetry by Propertius, Tibullus, and Ovid. While many sourcebooks offer only small illustrative excerpts, Clodia provides most sources in their entirety, such as the Pro Caelio of Cicero, nineteen complete letters, all of Catullus’s poems on “Lesbia” (his pseudonym for Clodia), and many subsequent love elegies.

Hejduk’s translations please the ear while remaining faithful to the original meaning. Her introduction reviews topics in classical culture and themes in Roman love poetry, placing the texts in their literary, social, and historical context and making them accessible to high school students and undergraduates. Notes, glossary, and bibliography make the book a well-rounded teaching tool.

The Pomegranate animatic

I DO NOT OWN THE SOUND EFFECTS BUT THIS ANIMATIC BELONGS TO ME. so here's my first animatic for a school project. We took a Greek myth and interpreted it in our own fashion: I chose the story of Persephone and Hades, where Persephone is taken away from her mother Demeter by the god Hades. Hades tricks Persephone to eat a pomegranate seed and so Persephone must remain in the underworld much to the dismay of her mother. Mine is loosely based on the Secret of Kells. I would suggest turning down your volume...as it gets loud sometimes:3 Enjoy! Programs used: Photoshop CS5 Premier Pro CS5.5

Destiny's Light Overview

A wish to go back would unlock more than she expected…

For as long as Eutrepe could remember, the Muses had always been sent to help inspire mankind. She longed to go back again, but man had lost his faith. Centuries drifted by and Eutrepe was certain she would never walk among the humans again. The night Zeus summons her for a final task in the mortal world she jumps at the chance. It was a quest she was willing to take, that is, until the interference of a God and her memory is lost.

Ceris is a loner and musician. Stuck at an impasse with a song he needs to complete, but cannot, he wonders if the words will be locked inside his soul forever. Sure he will never release his thoughts, he ventures out into the night in hopes of some kind of inspiration. Never in his dreams did he expect it would come in the form of a woman with no memory who nearly dies at the hands of an oncoming car in the dead of night.

In order to reveal the song that fills Ceris' soul they must first unlock Euterpe’s past before it’s too late….

Their future is at stake, but first they must beat back the darkness before it time is up.

Sailing the Wine-Dark Sea: Why the Greeks Matter (Hinges of History) Overview

In Sailing the Wine-Dark Sea, his fourth volume to explore “the hinges of history,” Thomas Cahill escorts the reader on another entertaining—and historically unassailable—journey through the landmarks of art and bloodshed that defined Greek culture nearly three millennia ago.

In the city-states of Athens and Sparta and throughout the Greek islands, honors could be won in making love and war, and lives were rife with contradictions. By developing the alphabet, the Greeks empowered the reader, demystified experience, and opened the way for civil discussion and experimentation—yet they kept slaves. The glorious verses of the Iliad recount a conflict in which rage and outrage spur men to action and suggest that their “bellicose society of gleaming metals and rattling weapons” is not so very distant from more recent campaigns of “shock and awe.” And, centuries before Zorba, Greece was a land where music, dance, and freely flowing wine were essential to the high life. Granting equal time to the sacred and the profane, Cahill rivets our attention to the legacies of an ancient and enduring worldview.

WINTER'S CROWN SERIES BOOK ONE: Alive in the Underworld (Winters Crown) Overview

WINTER’S CROWN SERIES: The Ancient Eleusinian Mystery Epic

This story comes from a time before time and before history began. A time when Gods lived on Earth. The ancient Greeks referred to this story as "The Myth of Hades and Persephone." It has been long believed that this knowledge is the key to the survival of our culture. For not all is as it seems in the subterranean caverns of the Underworld where this story unfolds. This myth is not fiction. It consists of facts that are continually repeated and can be observed over and over again. Humans have mythical fates just as much as the Greek heroes do.

WINTER’S CROWN SERIES BOOK ONE: Alive in the Underworld

Could it be true that humans once shared the world with a race of god-like beings who were thought to be immortal? “Alive in the Underworld” begins a psychedelic three-volume saga of epic proportions. A battle between good and evil in which primordial forces of masculine and feminine energies are unleashed upon the Earth.
