	Endymion (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Endymion also had a son named Aetolus, the King of Elis.
		Endymion had another son, Epeius, who won his father's kingdom by beating his brothers in a race.
		Pliny the Elder mentions Endymion as the first human to observe the movements of the moon, which (according to Pliny) accounts for Endymion's love.

	Notes. Keats, John. 1884. Poetical Works (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Meanwhile, we may remark that already the tale of Endymion had seized on the Poet’s imagination, and that his later treatment of it is shadowed forth, in essentials, in the six final paragraphs of this lovely poem.
		The two first books, and indeed the two last, I feel sensible are not of such completion as to warrant their passing the press; nor should they if I thought a year’s castigation would do them any good;—it will not: the foundations are too sandy.
		Endymion, in truth, despite the name, is not, on the whole, more genuinely a Grecian tale than the Faerie Queene.

	Book Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Cicero by Anthony Everitt - This is an excellent book for anyone interested in the life of one of the greater orators and politicians of ancient Rome.
		Endymion is a great poem written in a classical style, which is not only extremely creative but also subliminally sardonic.
		BOOKS I AM CURRENTLY READING: “Aristotle’s Children” by Richard E. Rubenstein, “The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe” by C.S. Lewis, “Moby Dick” by Herman Melville, “Color: A Natural History of the Palette” by Victoria Finlay, and continuing to read Rumi, Keats, and Neruda regularly.

	JOHN KEATS: HIS LIFE AND POETRY, HIS FRIENDS, CRITICS AND AFTER-FAME, by Sidney Colvin, 1917
		Endymion walks on to the sound of a soft music which only intensifies his yearnings: is led by a light through the alleys of a myrtle grove; and comes to an embowered chamber where Adonis lies asleep among little ministering Loves, with Cupid himself, lute in hand, for their chief.
		Endymion now in his own person takes up the inexhaustible theme of the moon's praise, asking her pardon at the same time for having lately suffered a more rapturous, more absorbing passion to come between him and his former youthful worship of her.
		Endymion's earthly passion, born of human pity and desire, was one all the while, had he but known it, with his heavenly passion born of poetic aspiration and the soul's thirst for Beauty.

	THE RISE OF ENDYMION Dan Simmons Bantam Spectra 1997 Pb709 pages ISBN
		Book three, Endymion (the first of this pair), opens with a very odd scenario: the hero Raul Endymion is in a death chamber awaiting execution and is spending his time writing his memoirs as to how he ended up in that situation.
		Much of his story (covering books three and four), is written in first-person, though there are sections that are in omniscient where the reader gets a view of the entire political climate that surrounds this enormous problem of which Raul Endymion is center.
		Endymion would never regain consciousness: when she and her siblings had learned what they needed from this memories, she would terminate him and dump the body into space.

	Book Review #8 by Eric Weeks
		Endymion (the character) is a native of Hyperion, who is enlisted to protect Aenea, a twelve year old girl.
		This book describes her becoming sort of a messiah, preaching a philosophy which is threatening to the Pax, and also undermining the resurrection schemes of the Pax.
		Endymion is writing from within a death-trap prison cell, where he will be killed at some random unknown time.

	Polyamory Books -- Odds and Ends
		Endymion.) To my mind the books really form two pairs, with this latest work being the direct continuation of the storyline begun in Endymion.
		In this newest volume, Raul Endymion is forced to travel through a variety of worlds, and at one point during those travels he comes across an interesting poly situation.
		I've listed this book because of a small section in this book which deals with the current trend for all relationships to be assumed exclusive, a trend that suggests that there is something immoral or immodest about "dating".

	Endymion
		As we follow Aenea across the worlds, hints and clues help us realise that this is the stuff of myth and legend, where mortals are caught up in struggles between capricious gods.
		Endymion is full of enduring images: burning orbital forests, urbane starships, death on a duck hunt, a dying poet living out his last days in the ruins of his youthful dreams.
		Like Kim Stanley Robinson, Simmons’ writes paragraphs that force you to re-read them again and again, until you’ve overdosed on some of the best writing in modern SF - this is a book to prove to the sceptic that the best science fiction is as good as the best mainstream works.

	FACT SF Reading Group
		This book is a contemporary fantasy novel about a thirtiesh yuppie software engineer named Rob who suddenly discovers that he has the ability to read and influence the minds of others.
		The book differs from most recent fantasy books: its length is under 400 pages, there is no map, and the story concludes satisfactorily in one volume.
		The wife character is surprisingly shallow and unsympathetic in a book written by a female author.

		Endymion was a legendary character in Greek mythology.
		For in myth, Endymion was a remarkably handsome mortal man who caught the eye of a goddess.
		However, these different versions of Endymion's ancestry are much less important than the part of the myth that matters most, which is, of course, his relationship with the goddess Selene.

		Endymion is a story about love and memory, triumph and terror—an instant candidate for the field's highest honors.
		Though not nearly as entertaining or thought provoking as the previous two books in the Hyperion Cantos, this is still a great book.
		Raul Endymion is a nice addition to the tapestry of characters, as is Aenea, and the changes in the overall setting are chilling.

	Book Reviews: The Rise of Endymion; Finity's End
		Reluctant hero Raul Endymion, still mysteriously imprisoned in an orbiting prison, is writing the memoir of his life with the young proto-messiah, Aenea.
		There are two other problems with the book that make it a less satisfying read than its predecessors.
		The other problem is difficult to articulate, but it seemed as if unraveling all of the mysteries of the previous books, particularly the nature of the Shrike, has robbed the story of some of its grandeur.

		Endymion reached for the Aminoto, lunging toward him as he twisted away, desperate to catch the crimson-eyed creature's hand and ask him again who he was.
		Endymion and Selenity ran to the edge of the room, backing away from the panel of glass that they had nearly split with a huge crack.
		Endymion commanded Makoto to gather the Senshi to form a protective ring around them, then he shot back up into the sky where the Guardians continued to hack at the creatures who seemed to grow larger and more powerful with every blow.

	Endymion Spring - Matthew Skelton - Penguin UK
		The book responsible is a battered old volume, with a strange clasp like a serpent's head - with real fangs.
		Susan Cooper, because her sequence of books – The Dark Is Rising – captivated my imagination one summer when I was growing up in Canada; and David Almond, because he manages to create such magical, believable stories that seem so effortless and yet carry all the weight in the world.
		I wrote Endymion Spring while living out of a suitcase in a variety of places: an empty flat in Berlin, a haunted house in Surrey, and a little wooden hut at the bottom of someone’s garden in Oxford.

		The book opens to find Raul Endymion in an isolated cell, condemned to die.
		The book is set up as a prequel to "Rise of Endymion".
		I like series with a sense of continuity, but I prefer that each book in a series be a stand-alone story in its own right.

		ENDYMION Two hundred and seventy-four years after the fall of the WorldWeb in Fall of Hyperion, Raoul Endymion is sent on a quest.
		It is often common for SF to be this descriptive and expansive and absorbing, but never since Hyperion have I read a book that can convey so much emotion, and completely involve me in that emotion (especially with regards to the main characters, who you inevitably relate to and hope for).
		These books are set two-hundred and seventy-four years after the fall of the World-Web, and follows a set of new (brilliantly conveyed) characters, and we all know no human can live for two-hundred and seventy-four years...

	Rise of Endymion Book at Shop Ireland
		It must be difficult to follow the first book, Hyperion, with three sequels of the same standard.
		The Endymion books aren't quite there but it this is still compulsive reading and well worth getting all four in the series.
		It is impossible to say it was the best as all four books are as all are as good as each other (and this is just the most fresh in my mind).

		Endymion Spring, feverishly sought after by many a publisher when it was completed and thrust forth upon the books community for acquisition, has catapulted its shy creator into a very large limelight.
		A power for good, or for evil...A legendary book that holds the secret to a world of knowledge...A young boy without a voice - whose five-hundred-year-old story is about to explode in the twenty-first century...Blake is visiting Oxford with his academic mother and his kid sister.
		The precocious Duck is a particularly loveable mixture of the maddening and the vulnerable, but it is a refreshing touch that her older brother Blake, the 'reluctant reader', becomes the hero of this tale about the book of books.

	Dan Simmons - Hyperion and Endymion series - reviews
		I found this book a little more difficult to read because the twin of the Keats personae introduced in the first book is now the protagonist.
		Raul Endymion (his family is named after the same city as the one on Hyperion) is waiting out a death sentence in a Shrodinger's cat box in high orbit around the quarantined world of Armaghast.
		Her and Raul enter a great conversation about the purpose of evolution as a means for Raul to understand the message, "Choose again." I could not help but relate that conversation to the recent decision in Kansas to NOT teach evolution in public schools and the confirmation on the limitations of that kinds of thinking.

		Skelton's book tells the tale of a young boy who, while running his hand along the shelves of some ancient books in Oxford's Bodleian Library, pricks his finger on a haunted medieval book.
		Endymion Spring will be out in Australia, Canada and England this month but American readers will have to wait until August for the U.S. edition of the book.

	Books \| Press gang
		Matthew Skelton was a visiting lecturer in book history at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, so knows a thing or two about his subject.
		The events unfold in two times and two places: in the Oxford of the present, where Blake and his sister Duck are living with their academic mother (their dad being in the US), and in Mainz in the 1450s.
		I have a sneaky suspicion that Endymion Spring could make a far better film than it does a book - ironic when you consider that the subject matter couldn't be more bookish if it tried.

		Together with the android A. Bettik, Endymion and his beloved Aenea embark on a final mission to find and comprehend the underlying fabric of the universe.
		Because his plotting has been so complex in the previous Hyperion books and because his cast of characters has grown so large, Simmons is forced to devote considerable space simply to recounting and explicating past events.
		This was a great book, the story was wonderful, and it had all the elements of a story that when you finish you just wish there were more to read.

		As with any book by Simmons, Endymion is a well-crafted, entertaining, and absorbing first half of this sequel to the Cantos, or the third book in a much larger series.
		Filled with colorful photographs taken from electron microscopes, this book provides views of mosquito anatomy as they go through their life cycle.

	Review: Endymion by Dan Simmons
		It is mostly a travelogue; how much you enjoy the book is likely to have a lot to do with how interesting you find the exploration of the worlds of the old Hegemony.
		Half the book is told from the perspective of Raul Endymion and the other half from the perspective of a priest of the Pax who is chasing Raul and Aenea, and the Pax sections I thought were the strongest of the book.
		The Pax government is chilling but believable given their technology, and for most of the book Simmons does a good job slowly building a picture of their nature and motives.

	Review: The Rise of Endymion by Dan Simmons
		It's not the point of the book, and serves mainly to set up the mythical symbolism of the story.
		The retconning is blatant at times, 200 pages could have been trimmed from the book (I never did understand the point of the geography tour and list of names on T'ien Shan), parts of it meander badly, the technology and physics are often frankly unbelievable, and the viewpoint character can be quite stupid at times.
		In memory, this was one of the best books I've read, but on re-reading, there are enough weak points that I can't say that.
