About this audiobook

The myths of Proserpine and Midas are transformed into lyrical dramas that explore the fickle nature of the gods and the fragility of human joy. These verse plays capture the ethereal beauty of classical legends while infusing them with romantic passion. They serve as a testament to Shelley’s poetic range and her deep fascination with ancient themes.
