The Inspiration
Plutarch - Life of Marc Antony, Chap 75 They say, that same night the city of Alexandria was
quiet and oppressed with fear, in anticipation of the morrow. Suddenly
around midnight, people heard some kind of music from many instruments
and the loud orgiastic cries of revellers and leaping satyrs, like the
noises of a departing throng. It seemed to rage through the center of town,
up to the gate facing the enemy and there the uproar grew loudest, and
then vanished. To the interpreters, this seemed a sign that Antony had
been abandoned by Dionysius, the god whom he most resembled and clung to.

What They Say
For example"The ghosts of poets past dance in ruined libraries in Shillock's text, the desert wind swirling sand around their ankles. Leonard Cohen and Francois Villon are tossing imprecations at the moon, while a gimlet eyed Herodotus smokes hashish and takes detailed notes. This is a don't miss for anyone who enjoys having their heart broken and their day brightened at the same time." says Evilin' Garnett See more reviews
