The Epic Of Hades

The Epic of Hades: In Three Books (1887) is a poetic work by the English author Lewis Morris. The book is a retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, with a focus on the underworld and its ruler, Hades. The epic is divided into three books, each of which explores a different aspect of the myth. The first book introduces the characters and sets the scene for the story. The second book follows Orpheus as he descends into the underworld to rescue his beloved Eurydice. The third book explores the aftermath of Orpheus' journey and the consequences of his actions. Morris' writing style is highly poetic and evocative, with vivid descriptions of the underworld and its inhabitants. The Epic of Hades has been praised for its imaginative retelling of a classic myth and its exploration of themes such as love, death, and the afterlife.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
