were branded on my mind from the first moment -- and I'm glad I didn't hesitate to acquire this three-volume set -- freshly having finished Ovid's ”Metamorphoses” in the same deliciously dry but equally competent Loeb series. ”Dionysiaca” is wild, confusing, occasionally a bit exhausting but this is only to gain strength for the next odd leap in the storyline that culminates in Dionysos’ war against the Indians. Where Nonnos fails in mythological accuracy (remember, this was written 500 years after Ovid, and all in all 700 years after the veneration of the Greek gods fell into disuse), he gains with his unrestrained imagination and often movie-like drama. -- For more information about this wonderfully obscure work, see http://www.rochester.edu/College/translation/threepercent/index.php?id=3139… (altro)
