From on high, the gods make sport of the mortals who toil below them. None know the cruelty of these beings better than Ganymede, a beautiful prince who was torn away from his family by the gods' divine hands. Granted immortality, Ganymede now whiles away his days in an inescapable miniature garden for the amusement of the gods, particularly Apollo. But the gods themselves are no strangers to the boredom of eternal life, and as Ganymede quickly discovers, they will do anything to keep themselves entertained, both at his expense and at one another's...

"Before Olympos explores the aniconic (that is, non-anthropomorphic - therefore, pre-anthropomorphic) origins of certain obviously pre-Hellenic deities in the classical pantheon of Greek gods: Poseidon, Hermes, Eros and, to an extent, Aphrodite...There is conclusive evidence, skillfully marshaled here, that these four are survivals from pre-Hellenic times who were incorporated into the classical pantheon because their cults were too powerful to be ignored when that pantheon was being organized..." -- Page [2] of cover

Thomas Hockenberry, einst Professor für Philosophie an der University of Indiana, wird nach seinem Tod von den Göttern des Olymp auserwählt, um als Kriegsberichterstatter in Ilium tätig zu werden. Raffinierte High-Tech-Geräte erlauben es ihm, mitten im Kampfgetümmel zu erscheinen und in Sekundenbruchteilen wieder zu verschwinden. Doch Hockenberry kennt die »Ilias« zu genau, um nicht zu merken, dass sich zwischen dem, was er sieht, und den Versen Homers beträchtliche Diskrepanzen auftun. Schnell stellt er fest, dass er nicht auf dem griechischen Olymp wiedererweckt wurde, sondern auf dem Olympus Mons, dem höchsten Berg des Mars. Und es hat ihn nicht in die Antike, sondern in eine ferne Zukunft verschlagen. Als durch seine Intervention der Krieg eine völlig neue Wendung nimmt, geraten die Ereignisse zunehmend außer Kontrolle ...

Ilium chantait les exploits de la guerre de Troie, surveillée par le scholiaste Thomas Hockenberry pour le compte des posthumains divinisés qui habitent sur Mars le mont Olympos. Depuis, les choses se sont corsées. Échappant au scénario d'Homère, Grecs et Troyens, Achille et Hector, se sont alliés pour vaincre les dieux et assiéger leur forteresse martienne. Ils profitent de la porte ouverte dans l'espace par les Moravecs, qui leur apportent un sérieux appui. Mais la porte commence à se refermer... Sur Terre, les Voynix, qui ont longtemps été les serviteurs des Derniers Hommes, ont soudain entrepris de les massacrer. Les Derniers Hommes, élevés dans la soie, vont devoir apprendre à se battre. Ophu d'Io et Mahnmut sont envoyés sur Terre pour prévenir un cataclysme qui menace la planète depuis des millénaires, sous la forme d'un sous-marin doté de missiles à trous noirs. Harman retrouvera-t-il Ada après un périple qui lui fera traverser la moitié de la Terre sous la conduite d'un Prospero qui n'est peut-être que le fantôme d'une Intelligence Artificielle ? Mêlant avec génie sa vaste culture littéraire à des actions débridées, Dan Simmons fournit toutes les réponses aux énigmes dont il avait peuplé Ilium. Et en suscite quelques autres... Après Hypérion et Endymion, le nouvel exploit de Dan Simmons, Ilium, a été l'un des plus grands succès de la collection " Ailleurs et demain ".

The New Politics of Olympos explores the dynamics of praise, power, and persuasion in Kallimachos' hymns, detailing how they simultaneously substantiate and interrogate the radically new phenomenon of Hellenistic kingship taking shape during Kallimachos' lifetime. Long before the Ptolemies invested vast treasure in establishing Alexandria as the center of Hellenic culture and learning, tyrants such as Peisistratos and Hieron recognized the value of poetry in advancing their political agendas. Plato, too, saw the vast power inherent in poetry, and famously advocated either censoring it (Republic) or harnessing it (Laws) for the good of the political community. As Xenophon notes in his Hieron and Pindar demonstrates in his politically charged epinikian hymns, wielding poetry's power entails a complex negotiation between the poet, the audience, and political leaders. Kallimachos' poetic medium for engaging in this dynamic, the hymn, had for centuries served as an unparalleled vehicle for negotiating with the super-powerful. The New Politics of Olympos offers the first in-depth analysis of Kallimachos' only fully extant poetry book, the Hymns, by examining its contemporary political setting, engagement with a tradition of political thought stretching back to Homer, and portrayal of the poet as an image-maker for the king. In addition to investigating the political dynamics in the individual hymns, this book details how the poet's six hymns, once juxtaposed within a single bookroll, constitute a macro-narrative on the prerogatives of Ptolemaic kingship. Throughout the collection Kallimachos refigures the infamously factious divine family as a paradigm of stability and good governance in concert with the self-fashioning of the Ptolemaic dynasty. At the same time, the poet defines the characteristics and behaviors worthy of praise, effectively shaping contemporary political ethics. Thus, for a Ptolemaic reader, this poetry book may have served as an education in and inducement to good kingship.
