Sinopsis

This book will take the reader on an exciting, mystical and exhilarating journey back in time, where he may examine, learn and reflect upon the mythological history of our present day culture. This collection of original poems is rooted in the popular historical religious beliefs and anecdotes of Ancient Greece and Rome, elements and fragments of which have been handed down through the centuries and have profoundly influenced our lives. In our daily discourse we continually employ meaningful and descriptive expressions, which are derived from mythological tales and personalities, such as "Trojan horse," "Pandora's box," "Gordian knot," "bacchanalian," "Spartan," "platonic," "aurora," "Herculean," "Achilles heel" and many more. We have also named cities and planets after them, such as "Athens" and "Jupiter." In this collection the reader will be pleasantly introduced to the origins of these expressions through the delightful medium of lyrical poetry.

Biografía del autor

Ed Pizzella is a lawyer, politician, consumer advocate, actor, director, producer, writer, and last but not least, a poet. A child of the Great Depression, Mr. Pizzella is the offspring of Italian immigrants. Born in the Italian ghetto of Hartford, Connecticut, he attended local public schools, where, by his heritage, he was driven to learn. Because he was born only a year after his mother arrived in this country, in his early years, he spoke only Italian. He soon mastered English and, in junior high school, was elected to the National Honor Society, won the school’s oratorical contest, and was a graduation speaker and a recipient of the Civitan Award.
