Beneath the cerulean skies of Ancient Greece, a proud race of dreamers sang the chronicles or their gods. Their deities controlled all the great rhythms and hazards of the universe, moonrise, sunset, tide, rain and the lambing of ewes and the haul of fish in mariner’s nets. All things emanated from the will of the immortals. The Greek poets who recorded the history of the gods drew from an inexhaustible treasury of myth and memory. Every island in their archipelago was the site of some heroic struggle or celestial lover’s tryst. The tales of the deepest past recounted a time of blood and battle. All this the fodder of great legend.
