The Logos of Antisthenes (Program)
The Logos of Antisthenes is a series of 42 Poems set in the immediate aftermath of the Trojan war.
The poems are mostly in Free Verse. I try to stick to the Heroic Stanza format of Quatrains. However, I don't stick as closely to the rules as is traditional, and I'm perfectly fine with that. Essentially, I wanted to capture the feel of a Greek heroic epic, but with some reflections on the war I fought in.
There are three acts.
1st Act: The Muses.
Thalia
Invocation
Polyhymnia and Chorus
Antisthenes
Euterpe (Song)
Calliope
Erato
Melpomene
Urania
Terpsichore
Clio
Eris
2nd Act: The Heroes
Achilles
Priam
Paris
Andromache
Cassandra
Hector
Agememnon
Penelope
Hecuba
Ajax
Helen
Odysseus
3rd Act: The Gods
Aphrodite
Hera
Athena
Dionysus
Zeus
Hades
Ares
Poseidon
Hephaestus
Demeter
Hermes
Hecate
Apollo
Artemis
Heracles
Persephone
Hestia

Thanks, detroit. It is good, and helpful to see the program.

Rgr. I was resisting doing this becuase I had it in my head
That I'd somehow "Jinx" it if I did a program with it only partly done. However, with 2/3rds of the main portion done, It really has become a necessity.
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
So, the main parts are DONE.
I still need to add stage direction and chorus, but that needs to be worked out with a cast. At this point, I've got enough to start working on a production, and any further work will be needed at the point of rehearsal and casting.
(Still working on the chorus part. It's simple, but needs to fit properly, not jar the modern audience.)
