Feast of the Wolfhound

This classic epic-poem that takes place between 326 B.C., and 286 B.C., unique in its modern form (a five-year intermittent project), of the funeral and thereafter saga of Alexander the Great, and its great feast and his beloved Hephaistion, who makes a brief unforgettable appearance, the poet tells the epic in poetic prose lone-line form. Alexander is dying, his generals outwardly are in a half daze, and are cutting up his empire mentally. Liken to Homer's heroes and Vergil's demise of Troy, the author, in a like manner-in a counterclockwise mode, points out the rising lost heroes of this saga, wrestling for the rich prizes Alexander has left behind, namely, his vast dominions. Perdikkas, Antipatros, Kassandros, Ptolemy, and the unforgettable Philip and Eurydike. The poetic epic is stirring, irresistible, tragic and sophisticated. A serpentine marathon of events. Rebels of Macedon feel they are the master race, conquerors of the world, yet it is about to fall apart. In a bold shift of poetic narrating and style, Dr. Dennis L. Siluk, Poet Laureate, creates an incomparable picture of this dangerous, envious accession of corruption on the royal line of this once magnificent empire, a glittering prize for the taking.
