Description
A unique collection of reversible poems about Greek myths. Marilyn Singer's ingenious "reverso" poems offer a fresh perspective on familiar legends. When read in reverse, each poem reveals a new point of view, combining with beautiful illustrations to create a treasure trove of fourteen reverso poems. Read one way, the poems tell the story of well-known myths; but when read in reverse, they reveal an alternative viewpoint. This clever use of language allows readers to uncover dual points of view in legends such as Pandora's box, King Midas and his golden touch, Perseus and Medusa, Pygmalion, Icarus and Daedalus, Demeter and Persephone, and Echo and Narcissus. This book is a great introduction or supplement to the world of Greek myths, offering an easy and rewarding read for a broad range of readers.
