Classical & Early

Vivian Dulac cannot defend herself against assassins, or accept that she’s the transmigrated spirit of a centuries-old warrior; and she certainly doesn’t believe in gods and goddesses.

Turns out, she’s wrong on all counts—and it’s going to cost her life.

Sharp-witted and street savvy, Vivian has only forty-eight hours to accept her destiny as a Goddess Warrior. The gods have decreed it. She is catapulted from chaos to catastrophe: tsunami disaster on the West Coast, pitched battles in New York’s subways and Central Park, deadly archers and venomous demons bent on beheading her…again. The clock is ticking.

But first Vivian must unlock her heart to love—victory depends upon it. But for her to find love she must defy a fifteen hundred year old curse. Only then can she bring the world back to order—a perilous mission that comes with great sacrifice.

"These authoritative translations consign all other complete collections to the wastebasket."--Robert Brustein, The New Republic

"This is it. No qualifications. Go out and buy it everybody."--Kenneth Rexroth, The Nation

"The translations deliberately avoid the highly wrought and affectedly poetic; their idiom is contemporary....They have life and speed and suppleness of phrase."--Times Education Supplement

"These translations belong to our time. A keen poetic sensibility repeatedly quickens them; and without this inner fire the most academically flawless rendering is dead."--Warren D. Anderson, American Oxonian

"The critical commentaries and the versions themselves...are fresh, unpretentious, above all, functional."--Commonweal

"Grene is one of the great translators."--Conor Cruise O'Brien, London Sunday Times

"Richmond Lattimore is that rara avis in our age, the classical scholar who is at the same time an accomplished poet."--Dudley Fitts, New York Times Book Review
