Set in the world of ancient Greco-Roman myth, the poem tells the story of the serpent-spirit Lamia, who talks the god Hermes into transforming her into a beautiful woman so she can pursue her beloved, a handsome young man named Lycius. The couple is blissfully happy for a time-but their joy can't last. Icy reason, in the form of the philosopher Apollonius, at last punctures their shared dream. Often remembered as a Romantic screed against \"cold philosophy,\" this poem is in fact a nuanced and ambivalent portrait of the beauties and dangers of the imagination-especially the imaginative visions of lovers. Keats published this poem in his 1820 collection Lamia, Isabella, the Eve of St. Agnes, and Other Poems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50581952528688,"sku":"BD14d2","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/14d2-Square-cover.jpg?v=1770197950","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-14d2","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
