Mythical Odes Across the Ages is a poetic journey through love, passion, betrayal, tragedy, courage, and transformation in the myths that have shaped the human imagination. Through lyrical verse, narrative retellings, musical compositions, and choral renditions, Peta Oakes, writing as Gaelic Mac Dubhdara, gives renewed voice to legendary romances and epic stories from the ancient world. The collection explores the trials of Cupid and Psyche, the devastating bond between Jason and Medea, the celestial love of Perseus and Andromeda, the transformation of Apollo and Daphne, and the tragic passion of Aeneas and Dido. Each work draws attention to the emotional depth behind familiar myths and the choices that define their characters. Blending classical storytelling with poetic artistry, Mythical Odes Across the Ages presents mythology as a living language of human experience. It is suited to readers drawn to ancient legend, lyrical poetry, dramatic retelling, and the timeless emotions preserved within the stories of gods, heroes, and mortals.
