Tiresias is a book written by Thomas Woolner and first published in 1886. The book is a collection of poems that revolve around the mythological figure of Tiresias, a blind prophet from Greek mythology who was said to have lived as both a man and a woman. Woolner's poems explore the various aspects of Tiresias' life, including his transformation from a man to a woman and back again, his prophetic abilities, and his encounters with various gods and goddesses. The poems are written in a lyrical and evocative style, drawing on the rich imagery and symbolism of Greek mythology to create a vivid and immersive reading experience.Throughout the book, Woolner also touches on themes of gender identity, sexuality, and the nature of prophecy, offering a unique perspective on these timeless topics. Overall, Tiresias is a fascinating exploration of one of the most enigmatic figures in Greek mythology, written with a poet's eye for detail and a deep understanding of the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
