Notes About The Poem

Echoes of Ancient Tales

Written: June 22, 2023 In the realm of ancient lore, I yearn to reside, To bear a deep dive into tales untied. Achilles, a warrior with a heart of fire, Hector, noble and valiant, to whom I aspire Agamemnon, a leader with ambitions high, Athena, wise and cunning, is always nearby. The Trojan War, a conflict of epic scale, Where heroes fought and destinies prevail. Greek mythology, a world so vast, Stories of gods and mortals, destined to last Assyrians, Babylonians, empires of auld, Their triumphs and struggles are stories untold. Hebrews, Romans, and Carthaginians too ancient civilizations, each with an exclusive hue. Egyptians, builders of majestic pyramids Their culture and wisdom are still vivid amid. Oh, how I yearn to follow in their footsteps. To uncover their thoughts, their secrets were kept. To journey through the sands of time, To unravel their dreams, their hopes are sublime. Between the pages of time, I'll explore Seeking echoes of their laughter and their roar. Achilles, with his wrath, was a force to behold. In battle, his enemies tremble, and his stories are told. Hector, the protector, a symbol of might, Fighting for his city, defending what's right. Agamemnon, a ruler with power and might Driven by an ambition to conquer and unite. Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war Guiding the heroes, watching from afar. The Trojan War, a tale of love and strife A clash of nations, shaping history's life Heroes and villains, their stories intertwined, A battle of gods, mortals, and fate combined From the origins of these ancient lands I seek to understand their hearts and their stands.

Wonderful, fantastic poetry! I have myself written about Hercules, Achilles, Zeus, both Roman and Greek mythology, ETC. "Your verses sing to a desirous heart. A spirit seeking ever higher plain. With love of great poetry as a start. To relieve from world's discontented stains." Your words, your poetry brought that verse to my mind my friend. A gem , a fav. God bless. 4PY

Truly these myths and historic tales still echo in our life today! I have always enjoyed learning Greek and Roman mythology as it seeks to explain what was unexplainable to them. You have highlighted these beliefs so clearly and so poetically my friend. Flowing rhymes match the beauty of your words. If this is for a contest, best wishes. Blessings to you dear friend.
