The Gulf waters sing a beautiful song. As the wind blows its waves along. The crimson sky paints the setting of the sun. Glistening waves roll in then run. Manatee swim freely in the Springs. The Egret ready to fly, spreads her wings. Gators swim from the banks where they lay in the heat of the Florida sun. To the warm waters to feed when the day is done. Fishermen reel in their lines. Then head home to cook their finds. Bathers on the beach wrapped in a towel. Go to their cars when they hear the waters growl. Splashing against the rocks, Gulf Waters make a pounding sound. When the high tides roll up onto the higher ground. Sea Gulls and Pelicans rest on the rocks. Gathering there in large flocks Then all the echoes disappear into the night. Bringing celestial bliss until daylight..

Opulent eastern cities were still reeling from Alexander's devastating conquests when Pytheas the Greek adventurer quietly slipped moorings at Massalia in southern Gaul to face the unknown ocean and explore the remote north. Pytheas the adventurer, who rounded Britain and even ventured as far as the Baltic Sea so long ago, is a fascinating enigma. What inspired him to do it? Adventure? Trade? The pursuit of knowledge? Or had he personal reasons? Not only an educated adventurer who survived to write two books, Pytheas was surely young to embark on such a gruelling and hazardous expedition.He was also clearly familiar with celestial navigation and ships - as would any merchant who traded out of Massalia. Only fragments and reference to his accounts remain, yet such were his revelations that 200 years on the Roman geographer Strabo, who never went beyond the straits of Sicily, called him a lying fantasist...because Pytheas also claimed to have ventured far beyond Britain to a mysterious place called Thoule. Not only were his astronomical observations there used by ancient scholars to prove that the earth was a sphere, tantalising hints reveal what else Pytheas recorded of that extraordinary three year expedition. But what of Pytheas the man? Who went with him? How did they travel such distances - and get by hostile Phoenicians who controlled access to the great ocean?.

This latest issue of Arthurian Literaturecontinues the tradition of the journal, combining critical studies with editions of primary Arthurian texts. Varied in their linguistic and chronological coverage, the articles dealwith major areas of Arthurian studies, from early French romance through late medieval English chronicle to contemporary fiction. Topics include Béroul's Tristan, Tristan de Nanteuil, the Anglo-Norman Brut, and the Morte, while an edition of the text of an extrait of Chrétien's Erec et Enide prepared by the eighteenth-century scholar La Curne de Sainte-Palaye offers important insights into both scholarship on Chretien, and our understanding of the Enlightenment. The volume is completed with an encyclopaedic treatment of Arthurian literature, art and film produced between 1995 and 1995, acting as an update to The New Arthurian Encyclopedia.Contributors: RICHARD ILLINGWORTH, JANE TAYLOR, CARLETON CARROLL, MARIA COLOMBO TIMELLI, RALUCA RADULESCU, JULIA MARVIN, NORRIS LACY, RAYMOND THOMPSON..
