Prometheus Rebound and Other Mythology is a verse collection of Greek myths narrated through a series of contemporary parables. A myth is not a myth but rather reality being enacted everyday. The author appropriates portions of Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound, Shelley’s Prometheus Unbound, synchronistic events and the mundane to explore a dialogue between humanity and the divine through mythology.
Two poetic forms, the sonnet and the newly designed triptych, delineate the book’s mythology. The triptych, inspired by the Homeric epigram, is a poetic hybrid premised upon the visual and literary arts. Here mythos and logos come together through the eyes of poetry integrated by philosophy.
The book is published under the Blue Scarab Press imprint of @IDEAlabEditions.
