Nonnos of Panopolis

Rating:
Summary: Great Art and Historically Important
Review: Mark Anthony Prost has done something very important. His traslation of the work of a 5th Century Poet, Nonnos of Panopolis, "The Paraphase of the Gospel of John" is the first time ever in the English language. Mr. Prost's translation into English captures the flavor of the poem by using the traditional English form used by Milton and Shakespeare. But it goes deeper than that technicality, it brings to life a beatiful work of art that has been missing to English speaking poets until now. Discover this jewel!!!
