A nekyia is an underworld story preserving a rite from classical antiquity wherein the living call up the dead, and are questioned about the future. Neobulé was the bride-to-be of the first lyric poet, Archilochus-until her father inexplicably called it off and incurred the most infamous poetic wrath in literary history. The soldier-poet's scurrilous response shamed the entire family into committing suicide. \"Beneath\" tracks Neobulé's arrival in Hades; and voices her gradual understanding of shadehood. She may be \"a chorus of gasps \/ no lyre can pluck\", but can still recall being \"more shade above \/ in the mud-brick groves \/ of kitchens\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46318215135383,"sku":"9781848614406","price":1248.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781848614406.webp?v=1768680867","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/beneath-9781848614406","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
