Alcaeus in Santorini
Copies of the Poems & Fragments of Alcaeus, translated into English by the poet and novelist R J Dent, and published by Circaidy Gregory Press, have found their way to Atlantis Books in Santorini.
Atlantis Books is a truly amazing bookshop. It’s on the Main Marble Road in Oia, Santorini. Inside, it’s a bilbiophile’s treasure-trove.
Alcaeus’s Poems & Fragments has managed to make its way across the world and onto a shelf of Greek poetry in Atlantis Books. It’s almost as though Alcaeus has gone home.
Here’s Alcaeus alongside Philip Sherrard, Dionysios Solōmos, Arthur Machen, and other distinguished Greek and Anglo-Greek authors and scholars.
Atlantis Books in Oia, Santorini, is one of the bibliophile wonders of the world. There is no other bookshop quite like it.
It’s fitting that Alcaeus: Poems & Fragments is now available to lovers of Greek poetry and Greek literature – on a Greek island as beautiful as Santorini, and in a bookshop as unique as Atlantis Books.
