Welcome to Olympus
Island
Legend has it that the Ancient Gods of the Greeks have abandoned
this realm, but evidence of their existence can be found above, in celestial spheres. These signs and symbols, both direct and abstract, are also reflected
in Gustav Holst's 1918 orchestral suite, The Planets, Op 32.
You can explore each of the seven movements, representing
the corresponding planets, by teleporting from - Mars, the Bringer of War
- Venus, the Bringer of Peace
- Mercury, the Winged Messenger
- Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity
- Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age
- Uranus, the Magician
- Neptune, the Mystic
There you will find a music link station for the appropriate
movement - click on it to open a link to the music so you can play it on your browser
while you explore.
Let your exploration of one or all of the planets inspire
you to write a poem. You need not be an
experienced poet - all poems are welcome. You are even welcome to write a poem
about
One poem a day will be featured here on the project
blog, In May, at the end of the project,
there will be a reading event to share selections from the featured project
poems. All rights to the poems submitted are retained by the poem's
author.
Look for Poem Drop boxes at the landing zones on each of the
planets, and at the Teleport Temple on the Island, which is located just West of the Welcome area .
