We all enjoy pieces based around myths and Homeric studies. This is a great one.

hello sadaat! ! ! this is very well done indeed! ! ! hey you know what i read the sinhala translation of Odyssey and Troy when i was at grade 5, well those days my English is only good enough to read Enid Blyton stuff, .... enjoyed them very much those days, ...i like legendary works.....this is all great too.... as for Ulysses and James Joyce...at school james's joyce's short story 'Araby' was set for our study, ..it was from his work 'Dubliners'....well that's the only story i v read of him... it s good...yet i sort of a don't like the style that much... u know i m still in to marvel comics..lol.... yet when we discussed the story in the class..it became a really interesting and thought provoking one and i still have the effects of it cause that story deals with the maturation and the growth of a character...some one like me actually, i m still immature.. anyway enough of joyce and homer.... now speaking of Sadaat Tahir... i ll humbly say he is a great, versatile poet too, cheers Shan
