In the Iliad and the Odyssey, poetic language is born before our eyes: the bow is likened to the lyre, the loom becomes a narrative instrument, and dreams and tears are as important plot elements as battles and journeys. Homer turns listeners into co-authors, inviting them to complete the poem's pattern together.

"Lyre, Bow, Spindle" is not an academic study or a retelling of myths. Lyubov Summ—a classical philologist, translator, and author of the literary studies "In Search of Ithaca," "My Horse Falada," and "Who Are We to Hecuba?"—invites us on a journey to the origins of poetic language, to the mystery of metaphor. Witness firsthand how poetry is born from sound, movement, and allusion, how seemingly insignificant details suddenly reveal the personal stories of the characters—and our own.
