Prometheus Rebound and Other Mythology

Prometheus Rebound and Other Mythology is a verse collection of Greek myths narrated through a series of contemporary parables. A myth isnot a myth but rather reality being enacted everyday. G.F. Zaimis appropriatesportions of Aeschylus' PrometheusBound, Shelley's PrometheusUnbound, synchronistic events and the mundane to explore a dialogue betweenhumanity and the divine through mythology.

Two poetic forms, the sonnet and the newly designed triptych, delineate thebook's mythology. The triptych,inspired by the Homeric epigram, is a poetic hybrid premised upon the visualand literary arts. Its shape distills thought that recounts impressions andincidents as rhythmic, mural imagery in bits of three brushed onto paper.

Each narrative recounts fragments of memory and how life perpetuates theexpansion of individual and social consciousness. It is here mythos and logos come together through the eyes ofpoetry integrated by philosophy.
