Gods and Men: Publishing Description
Wendy Powell Lewis takes us back a few thousand years. With her we enter the world of Greek myths. The author says she was inspired by the documentary series Ancient Aliens to re-visit, to take another look. These swift-moving, vivid poems seize you by the throat. You read on. You come to the end. And you don't want to come to the end.
We begin with Odysseus in his field in Ithaca. The Trojan War takes center position. A young girl is sacrificed. Warriors die. One is dishonored. One is stoned to death. Gods interfere with the minds of men, and with the course of the war. In the last poem, Orestes must avenge his father's murder; it is his fate and obligation.
