Description

"The Arimaspia" is Thomas McEvilley's second version of postmodern Menippean satire: a wild, digressive, fantastical narrative, with shifting points of view, interludes of lyric poetry, and intermittent satire. The title "Arimaspia" comes from a lost ancient road trip poem of that title by Aristeas of Proconnesus, from the seventh century BCE. Herodotus says that the Arimaspi were a one-eyed people from Scythia who fought an ongoing battle with the griffons to capture their hoard of gold. This book is the site of that battle. The Arimaspia is a work of grand collage and radical pastiche, in which McEvilley's own poems, translations and narrative are hard to distinguish from the cascade of borrowed materials. Stunning in its archaic originality, The Arimaspia is a work of extraordinary learning, steeped in classical references that go well beyond the ken of most readers. At a certain point, the dance of the sources gives way to an immanent experience of refamiliarization, in which long-elided classical works come to life. "The Arimaspia" is being published in a first edition limited to 250 numbered copies.
