People who have read the previous works of Bernard Kuckuck should not miss out on this collection of poems. I believe that even though one has not read the author's other titles, they would be interested to still peruse this poetry book if they love works concerning the classical age. I congratulate the author for BOTD!

I've always loved Greek myths. They are really interesting, and a poem about it is just something else. Thank you for taking your time to write this wonderful review.

I am fond of Greek mythology. Though it has been an age since I first read Orpheus, the author's poetry was elegant and true to the story. Definitely worth a read. Excellent review; I enjoyed reading it!

I am glad that you wrote this review because I could hardly understand what the author was trying to convey. I will be passing on this book due to my lack of understanding and appreciation of poetry, but thank you for the review! :)

Even though I don't read much poetry, I'm interested in Greek mythology. Moreover, the way the review's been written makes me quite curious to read the book. :techie-studyinggray:

For poetry lovers this sounds absolutely excellent. I can't wait to dip my toe into Orpheus’s extraordinary adventures.

I am a big fan of both Greek Mythology & poetry. It has been awhile since I really enjoyed either. I do believe I could really get into this book.

Wow, the summary is simply beautiful. The author seems to have a great imagination and seems creative. Orpheus and Eurydice are also very unique names for characters. Can't wait to read it.
