1930. Irish novelist, playwright, poet and critic. Aphrodite in Aulis is a beautifully styled romance, legendary in nature. The book begins: About an hour after midnight Kebren was roused from his sleep by a voice crying in his ear: To Aulis! To Aulis! Why to Aulis? he asked, as he lay between sleeping and waking, certain that he must obey the voice, but uncertain whether he should wait till morning or begin the journey now. By walking all night I shall arrive at Aulis in the afternoon. Aulis? In Boeotia, he muttered, and lying on his side he strove to associate the name with some great event; but he groped in vain till his eyes fell on the quires of the Iliad which he had laid on a stool by his bedside.
