Heroes and Hierophants


Book Description

Heroes And Hierophants is the culmination of a year of innovative writing from three of today's hottest underground authors. The plan was simple: each week one of them would propose a topic, and they would each have a week to write about it. Then the next week another would give a topic, and so forth for the whole of the year. From this simple high concept beginning, Marcus D'Ambrose, Douglas Palermo and Noel Rogers took the project into directions entirely unprecedented. From serious god knowledge to rape jokes, the fearless trio push the envelope, lift the skirt of reality and explore the boundaries of the written word. What is already described as "a bold and visionary experiment in 21st century literature" (The Milville Times) and "perhaps the first look at a new integral method for the evolution of the species into cosmic awareness" (The Dobbs Ferry Clarion) is finally ready for download into your consciousness. Are you ready for it?

Pindar and the Cult of Heroes


Book Description

Pindar and the Cult of Heroes combines a study of Greek culture and religion (hero cult) with a literary-critical study of Pindar's epinician poetry. It looks at hero cult generally, but focuses especially on heroization in the 5th century BC. There are individual chapters on the heroization of war dead, of athletes, and on the religious treatment of the living in the 5th century. Hero cult, Bruno Currie argues, could be anticipated, in different ways, in a person's lifetime. Epinician poetry too should be interpreted in the light of this cultural context; fundamentally, this genre explores the patron's religious status. The book features extensive studies of Pindar's Pythians 2, 3, 5, Isthmian 7, and Nemean 7.
