Beschreibung

A poetic and historical travelogue of Syracuse, Sicily.Twenty-five hundred years ago, the city of Syracuse on the eastern coast of Sicily was, for the Ancient Greeks, one of the centers of the classical world. It was in Syracuse that Aeschylus premiered his plays, and to Syracuse that Plato would visit from Athens, where the tyrant Dionysius bought Euripides's lyre at auction, and the languishing nymph Arethusa hid in the papyrus grove.Living in the city, the poet Joachim Sartorius learned that this history and myth is still present today. At Sartorius's side, we walk with nymphs and cyclops through the old town of Ortigia and meet the people of the city: its notables, police officers, artists, and barbers.Unraveling the depths of Sicilian history and bringing the juxtaposition, superimposition, and commingling of cultures, styles, and attitudes to life, Sartorius shows a city of ancient luminosity, bringing us, through the baroque, to the contemporary world.
