Orion, An Epic Poem: In Three Books is a work of poetry written by Richard Henry Horne and originally published in 1854. The poem tells the story of Orion, a mythological hunter and son of Poseidon, as he embarks on a journey to seek revenge against the gods for the death of his father. The three books of the poem each detail a different part of Orion’s journey, from his initial quest for vengeance to his eventual downfall and death. Along the way, Orion encounters a variety of other mythological figures, including Artemis, Apollo, and Zeus, and engages in battles and other trials. The poem is notable for its grand and epic style, as well as its use of intricate and complex language and imagery. Overall, Orion, An Epic Poem is a significant work of Victorian-era poetry that explores themes of heroism, revenge, and the relationship between mortals and the gods.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
