Artist and poet Bruce Rimell brings another strange and colourful poetic travelogue, springing from eight inspiring days and nights on the Greek island of Milos in the Cyclades… "everything is touched by fingers of gales, all’s in motion: sea, air, land shivers" …walking through a volcanic terrain buffeted by strong winds from the tail end of an Aegean storm, with his perception transformed by calls for the return of the world famous ‘Venus de Milo’ – more properly ‘Aphrodite of Milos’ – back to her home island, the sight of her in the mountains… "hey Paris…! Aphrodite wants to go home" …as if Aphrodite herself was whispering in the breezes, her truest melody, feeling her way into the poet’s heart, his words, his dreams… "I’ve been hearing her voice, the one who smiles, who persuades into the human heart, and mine so easily opened, so swayed by heaven on earth, and shadows" …these verse notes are echoes, fragments of a song, as much from Aphrodite as for her, as well as an elegy to a unique and stunning island landscape… "ask how and why all day and all night upon the Melian isle…"

A cultural history of the goddess of love, from a New York Times bestselling and award-winning historian. Aphrodite was said to have been born from the sea, rising out of a froth of white foam. But long before the Ancient Greeks conceived of this voluptuous blonde, she existed as an early spirit of fertility on the shores of Cyprus -- and thousands of years before that, as a ferocious warrior-goddess in the Middle East. Proving that this fabled figure is so much more than an avatar of commercialized romance, historian Bettany Hughes reveals the remarkable lifestory of one of antiquity's most potent myths. Venus and Aphrodite brings together ancient art, mythology, and archaeological revelations to tell the story of human desire. From Mesopotamia to modern-day London, from Botticelli to Beyoncé, Hughes explains why this immortal goddess continues to entrance us today -- and how we trivialize her power at our peril.

Aphrodite is an often misunderstood goddess, one who is easy to relegate to the love goddess role, but she is a goddess who also shows up as an initiator and, some might say, troublemaker. In this book, we seek to explore the complexity of a goddess who was born on sea foam and who inspires beauty and love, all the while offering a hand toward each one of us to celebrate our full hearts.

Sappho (c. 630–c. 570 BC) was an Archaic Greek poet from the island of Lesbos famous for her lyric poetry. Also known by such names as the "Tenth Muse" and "The Poetess", Sappho was a prolific poet widely regarded as one of the greatest lyric poets of ancient times. As well as an extraordinary poet, she also represents a symbol of romantic love between women, the word lesbian and sapphic originating from her name and home island. The majority of Sappho's work is lost and what remains only does so as fragments. Despite this, her work has and continues to influence that of others significantly. This pocket-sized volume contains 45 of Sappho's existing poems and fragments, translated and interpreted by John Myres O'Hara and Henry de Vere Stacpoole. Contents include: "An Introduction by H. De Vere Stacpoole", "Sapphics by Algernon Charles Swinburne", "Poems Translated by John Myres O'hara", and "Fragments Translated by Henry De Vere Stacpoole". Wine Dark Press is proudly publishing this brand new collection of classic poems, now complete with an introductory essay by Charles Swinburne.
