I have quite a list of poetry to the ancient Greek gods and based on mythology that is in the public domain that I intend to gather in one spot.

Are you familiar with Rilke's Sonnets To Orpheus?

[fuego.livejournal.com]

I'm not. Will need to look for them.

[upasaka.livejournal.com]

There's a good translation by McIntyre available in an inexpensive paperback.

[fuego.livejournal.com]

thanks for the tip, I'll look out for it

[pinksugargirl.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a cool (though time consuming) project

[fuego.livejournal.com]

Heh...I have time to consume.

I'm a fan of the pre-rafaelites myself :-)

I recently lucked out and located an interesting volume in a used bookstore.

Attached below is a transcription of the list of references to
Hercules. I have not verified any of them and I apologize in advance
for any typos.

Most of the gods have entries.

Wow.

Were there any other mythological references, or was it focused on Hercules?

[brontosproximo.livejournal.com]

Nope, was a whole bookful of references. That was just the list I made for Hercules Invictus.

[fuego.livejournal.com]

Whoa. Is this an in-print title that's currently available?

[brontosproximo.livejournal.com]

It's why I included the title. There was no ISBN. You might find a copy on abebooks.com.

No, I'm not typing up the whole book. Yes, I've been asked already.

[fuego.livejournal.com]

Ah...i missed the title.

No, I'm not typing up the whole book. Yes, I've been asked already.

Damn. You sure? *bats eyelashes*

[fuego.livejournal.com]

Nevermind, Amazon has it.

[brontosproximo.livejournal.com]

Rock on! Could you post the ISBN?

[fuego.livejournal.com]

This is for the 1977 edition that they have listed:

# ISBN-10: 0841458278
# ISBN-13: 978-0841458277

There's also a suppliment...from 1941. Not currently available. No ISBN, bt there's another number that appears to be an identification of sorts:

ASIN: B0007ERMVE
