Palamedes

Palamedes: The Lost Muse Of Justice Follows The Unsung Life Of Palamedes A Character Ignored By Homer In The Iliad. However Euripides Tells The Heros Story In A Play That Survived Only As A Fragment. Through A Variety Of Mythic Voices From Homers Epics These Poems Tell The Tale Of Palamedes. Following A Path From Ithaca To Troy I Have Tried To Breathe Life Into This Just Man Who Gave The Spoken Word An Alphabet. From Prometheus And Palamedesnow I Give You Consonants To Construct The Soundthat Makes Letters Speak Meaning And Hold Memorybeyond The String Sound Harp And Tongued Poem.. With These Poems Anderson Has Again Shown That In Capable Hands The Mythic Landscape The Deep Stuff Of Our Humanity Is Ever Relevant Ever Fresh And Ever Telling Of Our Common Nature.
