"please, what is it like to be loved by the gods?"

I love classics (that is, mythology/history, not Classic Novels — though I love those too) and I love poetry, so of course I had to pick up this collection.

As is always the case, some of these resonated much more with me than the others, but in every poem the language is beautiful and creates vivid imagery. (My particular favorites are "Hyacinthus I," "Persephone," "Apollo," "Perseus," "Livilla," and "Achilles II". Which, looking back, is probably at least half the collection, LOL.)
