Роберто Калассо: The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony

«The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony» is a book without any modern parallel. Forming an active link in a chain that reaches back through Ovid s METAMORPHOSES directly to Homer, Roberto Calasso s re-exploration of the fantastic fables and mysteries we may only think we know explodes the entire world of Greek mythology, pieces it back together, and presents it to us in a new, and astonishing, and utterly contempory way.
