For ten years, a U.S. Navy sailor, code-name PYTHON, spies for the Soviets. All U.S. intelligence agencies continually fail at their attempts to discover the identities of PYTHON and his Soviet Controller.

Then, he discovers another side of himself. During his search for PYTHON, he meets several women who teach him about commitment and tolerance and who elevate his sexual senses to new heights. Rigney's adventure takes him to a Navy Guided Missile Cruiser that is on patrol in the Mediterranean. He renews an old friendship, and he makes some sinister enemies.

Trickster Makes This World
Author: Lewis Hyde
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 1429930837
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 580
Book Description
In Trickster Makes This World, Lewis Hyde brings to life the playful and disruptive side of human imagination as it is embodied in trickster mythology. He first visits the old stories—Hermes in Greece, Eshu in West Africa, Krishna in India, Coyote in North America, among others—and then holds them up against the lives and work of more recent creators: Picasso, Duchamp, Ginsberg, John Cage, and Frederick Douglass. Twelve years after its first publication, Trickster Makes This World—authoritative in its scholarship, loose-limbed in its style—has taken its place among the great works of modern cultural criticism. This new edition includes an introduction by Michael Chabon.

The first casualty in every war is the truth. Which is terrible if you happen to be Truth herself. In the golden age of the gods, Veritas was one of the most celebrated deities.

But when mysterious cracks begin appearing through her temple, Veritas is forced to act. Someone is attacking the truth, and there’s only one person she can turn to. A god she'd rather push out a window than rely on. Her ex-husband, Apollo. Modern times killed their love, but if it kills the truth one last time, all will lose – none more so than Apollo.

Apollo
Author: Tammy Gagne
Publisher: Mitchell Lane Publishers, Inc.
ISBN: 1680200119
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 51
Book Description
Apollo's father was Zeus (ZOOS), the king of all the gods. His mother was the beautiful Leto (LEE-toh), the daughter of Titans Coeus (KEE-ohs) and Phoebe (FEE-bee). But Zeus was not married to Leto--his wife was Hera (HEER-uh). Nick also remembered that Hera was very jealous of Leto. She took her jealousy out on Apollo and his twin sister, Artemis (AHR-tuh-mis)--even before they were born.Hoping that the twins would never be born, Hera forced Leto to live at sea. She demanded that no land allow Leto to enter. But when the soon-to-be mother arrived at the island of Delos (DEE-los), it welcomed her anyway, providing her with a place to give birth. It wasn't much of an island. It floated in the sea, pushed around by the wind and waves. But when it allowed Leto to stay there, four pillars grew from the ocean floor to hold the island in place forever.Like many Greek myths, this earliest story about Apollo is an exciting one. Leto certainly isn't the only goddess to be banished by one of the gods. But when Apollo and his twin finally arrive, everything that his mother had to endure seems somehow worth it. Apollo's cry was said to be a sound of music. And like his mother, he was beautiful to the point of perfection. In this new book for children, author Tammy Gagne helps young readers understand the many stories of Apollo.

The Vatican Mythographers
Author: Ronald E. Pepin
Publisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 0823228924
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
The Vatican Mythographers offers the first complete English translation of three important sources of knowledge about the survival of classical mythology from the Carolingian era to the High Middle Ages and beyond. The Latin texts were discovered in manuscripts in the Vatican library and published together in the nineteenth century. The three so-called Vatican Mythographers compiled, analyzed, interpreted, and transmitted a vast collection of myths for use by students, poets, and artists. In terms consonant with Christian purposes, they elucidated the fabulous narratives and underlying themes in the works of Ovid, Virgil, Statius, and other poets of antiquity. In so doing, the Vatican Mythographers provided handbooks that included descriptions of ancient rites and customs, curious etymologies, and, above all, moral allegories. Thus we learn that Bacchus is a naked youth who rides a tiger because drunkenness is never mature, denudes us of possessions, and begets ferocity; or that Ulysses, husband of Penelope, passed by the monstrous Scylla unharmed because a wise man bound to chastity overcomes lust. The extensive collection of myths illustrates how this material was used for moral lessons. To date, the works of the Vatican Mythographers have remained inaccessible to scholars and students without a good working knowledge of Latin. The translation thus fulfills a scholarly void. It is prefaced by an introduction that discusses the purposes of the Vatican Mythographers, the influences on them, and their place in medieval and Renaissance mythography. Of course, it also entertains with a host of stories whose undying appeal captivates, charms, inspires, instructs, and sometimes horrifies us. The book should have wide appeal for a whole range of university courses involving myth.
