General: :Ebook
Format: epub
Size: 1.42 MB
Description: Sleep was viewed as a boon by the ancient Greeks: sweet, soft, honeyed, balmy, careloosening, as the Iliad has it. But neither was sleep straightforward, nor safe. It could be interrupted, often by a dream. It could be the site of dramatic intervention by a god or goddess. It might mark the transition in a narrative relationship, as when Penelope for the first time in weeks slumbers happily through Odysseus' vengeful slaughter of her suitors.
