Beyond the Sea brings together two book-length sequences first published in Mexico in the early years of the century, both taking their origins from Greece, a matter of central importance for the poet for many years -- the poems are odes and dithyrambs, with the spirit of one sequence being Apollonian, while the other is Dionysian.
