Greek poet called Stesichorus, and that's who Anne Carson starts with, but Autobiography of Red is the story of how Geryon, the boy with wings, gets involved, heartbreakingly, with a wild boy called Heracles who loves him and leaves him and then comes back into his life in the shadow of a mighty volcano in Peru and in the company of an Indian friend called Incash, who is lean and inward and understands why the weird boy also has wings.
from The Age: Sipping ouzo with Sappho
