Actually just found this: an opera with libretto by E. von Wildenbruch, with music by Max Vogrich, here in a different production at Weimar

Estonian Modernism! I love the art of its greatest Expressionist/Symbolist exponent, Nikolai Triik, born this day 1884. Although he preferred Baltic mythology, here are his dreamlike "Heracles & the Hydra" and "Daemon".

A drawing and a slightly different painting, both entitled PHILOCTETES AND THE SECOND WORLD WAR, by Wisconsin artist Marshall Glasier (1945). The best of American classics-engaged Modernism

Ferdinand Bol was born June 24 1616. He chose a relatively obscure episode in ancient history when Pyrrhus negotiated with Fabricius after battle of Heraclea in order to paint a really big elephant.

Alexander Pope, born May 21 1688, brought Homer to incalculably more English speakers than he'd ever reached before. ope also sketched while translating, e.g. trying to make sense of Achlles' elaborate shield forged by Hephaestus in book 18 of the Iliad.

Stunning colours in this "Narcissus" by Claude Vignon, born May 19 1593. With such beautiful hounds, what on earth did he see in his own pallid reflected face? Lovely Narcissus flower detail.

There is something eerily modern and creepy about "Sirens and Odysseus" and "Odysseus and Penelope" by Francesco Primaticcio, born this day 1504. Just labelling him a "mannerist" doesn't quite get the nightmarish quality and sense of foreboding right.

A long shot, but does anyone have a copy of an article I published in 1995, ‘The Ass with Double Vision: Politicising an Ancient Greek Novel’, in D. Margolies and M. Joannou (eds.), Heart of a Heartless World: Essays in Honour of Margot Heinemann, 47-59. Polity. Or of the book?
