  What do the Greek myths mean to us today? 
   
  It’s now a golden age for these tales – they crop up in novels, films and popular culture. But what’s the modern relevance of Theseus, Hera and Pandora? Were these stories ever meant for children? And what’s to be seen now at the places where heroes fought and gods once quarrelled? 
  Peter Fiennes travels to the sites of some of the most famous Greek myths, on the trail of hope, beauty and a new way of seeing what we have done to our world. Fiennes walks through landscapes – stunning and spoiled – on the trail of dancing activists and Arcadian shepherds, finds the ‘most beautiful beach in Greece’, consults the Oracle, and loses himself in the cities, remote villages and ruins of this storied land.

  Unlock the more straightforward side of Slaughterhouse-Five with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!This engaging summary presents an analysis of Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, which tells the story of Billy Pilgrim, who suffers from a very unusual condition: he time-travels back and forth throughout his own life. In his youth, Billy is one of the few survivors of the bombing of Dresden during the Second World War, but he learns to overcome the lingering trauma of this experience when he is kidnapped by aliens known as Tralfamadorians and adopts their fatalistic worldview: that death, like everything else, is inevitable. Billy then decides to devote his life to spreading this doctrine. This satirical novel about the deep psychological scars left by the trauma of war was heavily inspired by Vonnegut's own experiences as a prisoner of war in Nazi Germany, and is considered one of the most significant anti-war novels of the 20th century.Find out everything you need to know about Slaughterhouse-Five in a fraction of the time!This in-depth and informative reading guide brings you:• A complete plot summary• Character studies• Key themes and symbols• Questions for further reflectionWhy choose BrightSummaries.com?Available in print and digital format, our publications are designed to accompany you on your reading journey.

  So Great Was the Slaughter -...

  So Great Was the Slaughter reveals the untold story of Arkansas conservation pioneers who saved the state's game and fish populations. As Arkansas entered the twentieth century, the national demand for meat combined with the ability to ship millions of animals to hungry cities like New Orleans, Memphis, and Chicago had driven many species, including bison and passenger pigeons, to extinction in Arkansas. Many others, including deer, bear, turkey, quail, and fish, were in danger of disappearing. 
  In response, an unlikely coalition of Arkansas sportsmen, hunters, and conservationists created a vision for conservation legislation, game laws, and the establishment of fish hatcheries and wildlife refuges. With support from influential outsiders like E. A. McIlhenny and the United States Biological Survey, they waged a long battle against entrenched political and commercial interests. 
  Buckley Foster's meticulous research reveals how these pioneers fought to save the state's wildlife resources from destruction and laid the foundations for sustainable, modern wildlife management in Arkansas. So Great Was the Slaughter will fascinate hunters, conservationists, historians, and those interested in the history of wildlife conservation and conflicts between market hunters and sportsmen in the United States and the American South.

  The Kraken - Myth or Reality?...

  John Harpoon

  The Kraken, a legendary sea monster whose name evokes images of terror and fascination, has captivated the imaginations of people for centuries. First emerging from the shadows of Scandinavian folklore, this giant creature—often described as a massive octopus or squid—has become one of the most iconic symbols of the unknown depths of the ocean. The allure of the Kraken lies in its mysterious nature, its ability to stir both fear and wonder, and the enduring question: is it merely a myth, or could there be some truth behind the legend? 
    
  For sailors of old, the Kraken represented the dangers of the sea, a vast and untamable force filled with peril. Tales of ships being pulled under the water, disappearing without a trace, were often attributed to the Kraken’s monstrous tentacles dragging them to their doom. These stories, passed down through generations, grew in magnitude and detail, transforming the Kraken into a creature of unimaginable size and strength. The Kraken’s enormous presence on the open sea symbolized the boundary between the known world and the vast, dark waters that were beyond human control. 
    
  Yet, despite its fearsome reputation, the Kraken has also been embraced as a symbol of mystery and curiosity. Its mythical status has made it an enduring figure in literature, art, and popular culture, where it is often portrayed as both a terrifying threat and an awe-inspiring force of nature. From the pages of Jules Verne’s *Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea* to blockbuster films like *Pirates of the Caribbean*, the Kraken continues to embody humanity’s fascination with the sea and the creatures that may lie beneath its surface.
