Προσύμνη
Prosymne – “to whom one addresses hymns” – Robert Graves, The Greek Myths, 1955
Prosymne was one of the daughters of the Minotaur and one of the wet nurses to Hera, Queen of the Ancient Greek Gods. Her story is almost pre-myth, and is one of nurture, growth, and harmony.
Every writer, over the ages, has written one book more offbeat than their usual style. These little gems are often overlooked.
Prosymne Press seeks to republish these books. These are not just reprints, but new editions, updated with illustrations and accompanied by Introductions and essays from eminent and contemporary literary critics.
