Pages : 244
Book Description
The Golden Fleece and The Heroes Who Lived Before Achilles is a collection of myths and legends by Padraic Colum. Colum was an Irish poet, novelist, dramatist, biographer, playwright, children's author and collector of folklore. Excerpt: "She turned away from her father's eyes and she went into her own chamber. For a long time she stood there with her hands clasped together. She heard the voice of Chalciope lamenting because Æetes had taken a hatred to her sons and might strive to destroy them. She heard the voice of her sister lamenting, but Medea thought that the cause that her sister had for grieving was small compared with the cause that she herself had. She thought on the moment when she had seen Jason for the first time—in the courtyard as the mist lifted and the dove flew to her; she thought of him as he lifted those bright eyes of his; then she thought of his voice as he spoke after her father had imposed the dreadful trial upon him. She would have liked then to have cried out to him, "O youth, if others rejoice at the doom that you go to, I do not rejoice."

Far in the distance, as Stephen strained his eyes through the brightening dawn, he saw flying figures of men on camels and horses; and sounds of shooting came faintly to his ears. At last it ceased altogether. Some of the figures had vanished. Others halted. Then it seemed to Stephen that these last were coming back, towards the bordj. They were riding fast, and all together, as if under discipline. Soldiers, certainly: but were they from the north or south? Stephen could not tell; but as his eyes searched the horizon, the doubt was solved. Another party of men were riding southward, toward Toudja, from the north....FROM THE BOOKS.

ISBN: 1608442306
Category : Rome
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
"Kenneth Allen brings the reader on a thoroughly convincing ancient Roman adventure. Experience the brutality and hedonism--and witness the miracles of faith and a father's intense love for his child." - Ronlyn Domingue, author of THE MERCY OF THIN AIR "Kenneth Allen creates an ancient Rome so real that you feel the dust between your toes and taste the wine. A truly amazing experience." - Patricia Sprinkle, HOLD UP THE SKY - new novel - coming March 2010. Enter the strange but familiar superstitious Roman world of the first century A.D. where Gaius Petronicus, a small landowner, wins a fourteen year old slave girl Justa, who is dressed as a boy to increase her value, in an arena bet from a local corrupt aristocrat Calitorius Temidis. When Temidis reneges on the bet, Gaius violently forces him to pay. Gaius then returns home to find his house burned, his wife dead and his daughter kidnapped by Temidis's henchmen. With Justa, a Christian convert in tow, Gaius sets off on a quest to find his daughter and exact revenge on the murderers. Gaius is joined by a motley crew of characters he picks up along the way. He buys a ship named the Golden Cockerel, and the group sails across the stormy western Mediterranean. Gods are implored, vows are made and broken, and revenge is eventually served. The Golden Cockerel is a sword-swinging, apocalyptic, and romantic adventure with a touch of the supernatural, involving witches, omens, ancient gods, and the new God coming over the horizon. Kenneth Allen became interested in Roman history when he walked to school under the only standing Roman arch in England as a boy. The English school system in Lincoln UK emphasized the Roman conquest of Britannia and the exploits of Julius Caesar. Thus began an interest in this period. As a college student in Georgia, he took trips to Italy and developed a fascination with the excavations at Rome, Ostia, Pompeii, and the wonderful buried city of Herculaneum. The works of Henry Treece and Sinbad the Sailor all have influenced him. Kenneth majored in English literature in college and took up creative writing at age 45. His work experience is in business and he currently owns a small company. He teaches short story writing in Atlanta, GA., is president emeritus of the Village Writers Group, and lives there with his wife Pamela.
