Gods Behaving Badly
Being immortal isn't all it's cracked up to be. Life's hard for a Greek god in the 21st century: nobody believes in you any more, even your own family doesn't respect you, and you're stuck in a delapidated hovel in north London with too many siblings and not enough hot water. But for Artemis (goddess of hunting, professional dog walker), Aphrodite (goddess of beauty, telephone sex operator) and Apollo (god of the sun, TV psychic) there's no way out. Until a meek cleaner and her would-be boyfriend come into their lives, and turn the world literally upside down. Gods Behaving Badly is that rare thing, a charming, funny, utterly original first novel that satisfies the head and the heart.277p. decorative end papers Book

Chrysochoos, John
Beyond the Blue Ikarian Sea :Llife in GreecE and North America
The innocent early childhood of the author, on a beautiful and serene Greek island, was painfully interrupted by World War II. The inevitable impact upon the development of the author's personality and character, as well as all facets of life in Greece brought about by the war, the occupation, the famine, the flight to Palestine, and the subsequent civil war was profound. It is presented realistically in the first half of the book, from historical and political points of view, as objectively as humanly possible. The second half depicts the author as a university professor in North America, embroiled in continuous struggle, trying to cope with educational, societal, xenophobic, anti-foreign, jingoistic, and racial issues while striving to advance his own scientific career in the face of numerous family disasters. The reminiscence of the blue sea surrounding the faraway island provided him with the peace of mind needed to cope with such complex and difficult issues.220p. Notes [10 copies in Worldcat] Book

Lord,George deForest [Chapman, George]
Homeric Renaissance; the Odyssey of George Chapman
" For many of us who have no Greek, Chapman's Odyssey opens up, ... a new world of experience; and in spite of Matthew Arnold's strictures, it remains the most poetically alive of all Homeric translations. But how far does it give us the original Homer? Chapman claimed that he had a vision of the Odyssey's true meaning. The author shows, from the poet's own notes and his additions and changes to the literal meaning of Homer, how this claim may be justified." 224p. frontis. bibliography Book
