A nekyia is an underworld story preserving a rite from classical antiquity wherein the living call up the dead, and are questioned about the future. Neobule was the bride-to-be of the first lyric poet, Archilochus-until her father inexplicably called it off and incurred the most infamous poetic wrath in literary history. The soldier-poet's scurrilous response shamed the entire family into committing suicide. \"Beneath\" tracks Neobule's arrival in Hades; and voices her gradual understanding of shadehood. She may be \"a chorus of gasps \/ no lyre can pluck,\" but can still recall being \"more shade above \/ in the mud-brick groves \/ of kitchens.\"\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shearsman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49644826165475,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9781848614406-1.jpg?v=1788414920","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781848614406","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
