Silenus (1884)

Silenus, published in 1884, is a book written by Thomas Woolner. The book is a collection of poems that explore the mythological figure of Silenus, a companion of the Greek god Dionysus. Silenus is typically depicted as a drunken and lecherous old man, and Woolner's poems delve into the complexities of this character. The collection includes poems that examine Silenus' relationship with Dionysus, his role in Greek mythology, and his interactions with other mythological figures. Woolner's writing is lyrical and evocative, and the poems offer a unique perspective on a lesser-known figure from Greek mythology. Overall, Silenus is a fascinating exploration of mythology and the human condition, and a must-read for fans of poetry and Greek mythology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
