Oh fuck! I should've called that. It's one of my favorite Tennessee Williams plays. I'm 100% sure you nailed it.

Nicely done!

Yep!

Your turn!

There are 7 books in total for which series by C. S. Lewis?

Lol, Jason.... um... yes...?????

Will try for a medium-difficulty one. Erm.... thinking.

New Question:

This cygnet of a biography/autobiography comprises 3 lives. The book transformed into a swan after being published in 1991 and then winning awards in 1992 (NCR award) and 1993 (British book of the year award); film rights were purchased in 2006 by Portobello Pictures. A wild ride for a book.

Will give this question a few more hours, then ask a new one.

Answer: What is Wild Swans?

-----------------

New Question:

These authors created this trilogy about dragons and the equivalent of Tiamat while they worked for this coastal wizardly games company. One pair of characters is named after a cooking herb.

Hmm.... I think the question may too hard? Or too obscure?

HINT:
Herb is Majoram.

I'm out of questions. Could someone ask one, please?


-----------------------------------------------------------


Answer:
While they were working for Wizards of the Coast, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman wrote the Dragonlance Chronicles. What creatures were these chronicles about and who was Takhisis?


(The pair of characters were Caramon and Raistlin Majere; their surname was based on the herb Majoram.)

This Ancient Egyptian epic tanks in at about 20,000 lines and is composed in Homeric Dialect and dactylic hexameters. The tale is concerned with the adventures of a very famous Greek god.

I'll give hints if no one gets it!

I should know this one, but brain is having none of it.

Will give it some thought.

No, Jason. Good guess though.

Hint: The poem contains the God's life, his journey to India and his triumphant return to the west.

I was leaning toward The Iliad until I realized its not Egyptian (and not a poem) lol, so I’ll go with the only one I’ve heard of: The Tale of Sinuhe?

The Illiad is in fact a poem; most people read it in a prose translation, but the original Illiad is in dactylic hexameters, and Greek.

The Dionysiaca by Nonnus.

I pass my question to the first person who gives one.
