Voice and Voices in Antiquity draws together 18 studies of the changing concept of voice and voices in the oral traditions and subsequent literate genres of the ancient world. Ranging from the poet's voice to those of characters as well as historically embodied communities, and from the interface between the Greek and Near Eastern worlds to the western reaches of the Roman Empire, the scholars assembled here offer a methodologically rich and diverse series of approaches to locating the power of voice as both poetic construct and communal memory. The results not only enrich our understanding of the strategies of epic, lyric, and dramatic voices but also illuminate the rhetorical claims given voice by historians, orators, philosophers, and novelists in the ancient world.

Prepare for smashface! The question is, will it be Devon's or the demon horde's?See, that's the problem with the Chosen One trope. Devon Walker really just wanted to power level, ideally solo, and collect some loot along the way. But yeah. Things in Relic Online just haven't turned out like she'd hoped. Recently, she completed an epic quest line to reawaken ancient magic, but so for it's been, well, anti-climactic. That would be sucky enough, but unless she figures something out, the game world--including her NPC friends who she believes are just alive as her human guildmates--is pretty much going to die in fire.So yeah, no pressure.The epic Stonehaven League saga continues with Throne of the Ancients.
