Endymion

Meer over het boek

The narrative follows Endymion, a shepherd who seeks to reunite with Cynthia, the Moon Goddess, embarking on a cosmic journey filled with mythical creatures and challenges. Rich in vivid imagery, the poem delves into themes of love, beauty, and imagination, while drawing on Greek mythology to explore philosophical ideas. Keats' melancholic tone reflects his fascination with life's transience. Initially criticized, this epic poem is now celebrated as a vital part of Keats' work and the Romantic literary tradition.
