Of Gods and Men

This volume collects six writings that retell Greek myths in mixed forms: lyric poems, a film script, a modern-set story, a labour narrative, and a catalogue treatment of a tragedy. The subjects include Oedipus and Jocasta, Narcissus and Echo, Daedalus the craftsman, Herakles after he kills his family, and the Bacchae. Gods and mortals meet over desire, craft, punishment, and spectacle. The book is a set of independent retellings rather than a single plot, using verse, screenplay, and prose to test how those stories sound when moved out of textbook summary and into contemporary speech and image.

Quarter bound in black cloth, paper covers printed with a colour design by Sarah Raphael. Pale blue-grey endleaves. Dark blue slipcase.
