Listen to this masterpiece of classical literature in an all-new translation that captures the timeless magic and quiet humor of this ancient legend.

Story
Bound by destiny, Melisto and Rhaskos - Amber and Clay - never meet in the flesh. By the time they do, one of them is a ghost. But the thin line between life and death is just one boundary their unlikely friendship crosses. It takes an army of snarky gods and fearsome goddesses, slaves and masters, mothers and philosophers to help shape their story into a gorgeously distilled, symphonic tour de force.

Story
Listening to The Satires by Juvenal is to come face to face with the corruption, the debauchery, the waste, the sloth, and the mean-spirited greed of ancient Rome...or is it more like modern times? Indeed, these masterpieces of biting social commentary could easily have been written today about any number of metropolitan areas we are all familiar with.

Story
Virgil's Georgics ranks as one of the most precious pastoral poems ever written, and it has served as a model for its type ever since. Georgics means "of or relating to agriculture or rural life" and it comes from the Greek word, "georgicus". Virgil's main theme in this, his second great work after The Eclogues, was the importance of peace both in the spiritual and physical sense.

Story
After the death of their father, Oedipus, Antigone and Ismene return to Thebes. The ruler is their unyielding uncle by marriage, Creon, who assumed command after the death of the sons of Oedipus, Eteocles, and Polynices in a fratricidal struggle to take control of the city. Creon has the body of one brother buried with full civic honors but forbids the burial of the body of the other, whom he regards as a traitor. Antigone's challenge to Creon's decree, which she considers unjust, results in the extinction of the family line of Oedipus.

Story
There is something Platonic in Cavafy's love, which wants him to be not the offspring of Aphrodite but of Pena, and as such, love in Cavafy's man is experienced as deprivation. In the face of this unfulfillment, the poet (re)shapes bodies as instruments of freedom in his otherwise heavy monasticism. While with memory, he takes refuge in the chamber of an ideal past that resists the ravages of time, ensuring the desire for the beautiful, the eternally sweet and unadulterated.

Falling for a spy is hard enough when he isn’t another dimensional being.

A pergunta sobre a origem de Homero é objeto de grande discussão há séculos. Não é possível precisar se foi um ou vários autores quem escreveu a Ilíada e a Odisséia. O que se sabe com certeza é que o nome Homero, significa "aquele que não vê". Mas esta era a designação que se dava a todos os Aedos, que eram aqueles educados para transmitirem a tradição sagrada.
