Abstract:

Thus Burst Hippocrene: Studies in the Olympian Imagination is a collection of
nine papers in comparative literature. Discussing the greatest Olympians in
world literature, including Homer, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Dante,
Shakespeare, Milton, Li Bo, Du Fu, and the Bible authors, it is both daring in
conception and wide-ranging in scope. Freely drawing on the author’s knowledge
of Classical Greek, Latin, Italian, French, German, Spanish, English, and
Chinese as well as on his conversance with the literatures of these languages,
the papers are truly comparative, making discoveries unique to the author’s
characteristic multi-lingual, multi-cultural approach. In going through the
book, the reader will be pleasantly surprised by its originality, by its
amazing depth and breadth, and by the new light it sheds on topics that are of
interest to scholars and students of comparative literature. Written in lucid
language with no pretentious jargon, it will also appeal to the general reader
who picks up a book simply for the joy of reading or for horizon-broadening
without tears.
