Echoes of Alexandria: Poems and Stories

Alexandria in Egypt began as a dream. It would go on to become one of the most powerful and prosperous cities the ancient world had ever known, the home of dreamers whose dreams would change the course of human history. Among those for whom the city of Alexandria is still a powerful symbol of all that is best and noblest within the human heart is contemporary Greco-Egyptian polytheist author H. Jeremiah Lewis. And in this new collection of his poetry and short stories, he celebrates his undying love for the incomparable city of dreamers and the immortal gods and famous historical figures who once walked Alexandria's fabled streets. This book provides a unique glimpse into the religious life of a man dedicated to a rich multicultural pantheon drawn from Greece, Egypt, Rome and the Near East. Within you will find hymns used in actual worship, poetry on a variety of themes, imaginative retellings of ancient stories, and modern myths set down for the first time.
