Greek Poetry

I have a strong interest in the poetry of ancient Greece. That society fascinates me from the standpoint that there must have been much creativity and poetic expression. There are numerous types of poetry from that society; epic, lyric, iambic, elegiac, to name a few. I have imagined myself living during that time. I would have loved to have listened to Homer, who penned Iliad. Sappho is another I would have loved to have met.


Many times I have wondered if I am continuing the tradition of poetry writing not from a Greek perspectivr but from life as a whole. Having Native-American ancestry, I see myself carrying the tradions of my ancestors.
