Omschrijving

Penthesilea: A Poem is a work of poetry written by Laurence Binyon and first published in 1905. The poem is based on the mythological figure of Penthesilea, an Amazon queen who fought in the Trojan War on the side of the Trojans. The poem is divided into three parts, each of which explores different aspects of Penthesilea's character and experiences. In the first part, Binyon describes Penthesilea's arrival in Troy and her initial encounters with the Trojan prince Hector. The second part focuses on Penthesilea's battle with the Greek hero Achilles, which ultimately leads to her death. The final part of the poem reflects on the aftermath of Penthesilea's death and the impact it has on those around her.Binyon's writing in Penthesilea: A Poem is characterized by its vivid imagery and lyrical language. He draws on a range of literary and mythological sources to create a rich and complex portrait of Penthesilea as a warrior, a woman, and a tragic figure. The poem has been praised for its powerful depiction of female strength and agency, as well as its exploration of themes such as love, honor, and sacrifice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
