**Made to order**


Embrace the fusion of cultures and histories with our Fenland bog oak pendant, meticulously crafted into the elegant Māori roimata drop shape. Each piece tells a story of resilience and connection, with the central inlay featuring a mix of New Zealand Pounamu, a treasure revered by the Māori people for its spiritual significance.


Cultural Significance of the Māori Roimata Drop Shape: The Māori roimata, or tear drop shape, carries deep cultural significance for the Māori people of New Zealand. It symbolizes the shedding of tears or sorrow and is often worn as a token of comfort or remembrance.
Cultural Significance of New Zealand Pounamu: Pounamu, also known as greenstone or jade, holds immense cultural importance for the Māori people. It is regarded as a taonga (treasure) and symbolizes strength, status, and connection to the land. Pounamu is traditionally used for tools, weapons, and adornments, and its significance extends beyond material value to spiritual and ancestral realms.

Basic History of Fenland Bog Oak: Fenland bog oak is ancient wood preserved in peat bogs for thousands of years. Its history dates back to prehistoric times when the land was covered by dense forests. Over centuries, the wood became submerged in waterlogged conditions, where the absence of oxygen slowed decay, resulting in its unique preservation.

Spiritual Meanings: Bog oak, with its origins deep in the earth and its long journey through time, is often associated with grounding, wisdom, and resilience. It embodies the passage of time and the endurance of nature's cycles. In Māori spirituality, the combination of bog oak and Pounamu may symbolize a connection between the ancient earth and the enduring spirit of the land.
Combining these elements, your pendant represents a fusion of cultures, histories, and spiritualities, encapsulating the timeless beauty and significance of both bog oak and Pounamu.

Waxed Nylon Cord for Versatility:
Suspended from a waxed nylon cord, this pendant offers versatility in wear, allowing you to adjust it to your preferred length. The waxed cord symbolizes the interweaving threads of life, echoing the intricate connections between the wearer, the pendant, and the ancient oak's storied past. Wear it with pride, knowing that this piece is not just an accessory but a tangible link to the enduring spirit of both the fenlands and New Zealand's rich cultural heritage.

Local Beauty, Local Care: As advocates of sustainability and community, we take pride in our commitment to local artisans. To complement the linseed oil finish, we adorn our pendants with a coating of Brays Bees cream polish, thoughtfully created by nearby beekeepers. This local touch not only enriches the wood's natural allure but also supports local businesses, creating a harmonious blend of craftsmanship and care.

Excellent Tool for Approaching Homer via English
Format: Hardcover
I love the Loeb editions of Homer. I've already ready the Odyssey, now moving on to the Iliad. What I've especially started to enjoy with this volume of the Iliad is the editors decision to "call out" which lines were rejected by which ancient commentators (Aristarchus, etc.). This adds some fun to the reading because you get to review the line in Greek and try to surmise why they rejected it, or how the passage would work without the line. The translation is reasonably modern but still "lordly" and has the tone of a war epic. It was enjoyable to read aloud in both English and Greek.

2,800 years worth of people have heard/read Homer
Format: Hardcover
I just finished reading volume 1 of Homer's Iliad published by The LOEB Classical Library in conjunction with Harvard University Press. The translation is by A.T. Murray with revisions made by William F. Wyatt. The LOEB Classical Library is a academically trusted collection of Greek and Latin publications. The translations are normally more literal than those you might find at your local Barnes and Noble, therefore they read more like an archaic form of English. Homer's Iliad can be found on nearly every great works of literature list. Harold Bloom considered Homer to be in the same family with Cervantes, Dante, and Shakespeare. The Iliad has been read for thousands of years, and every reputable honors program includes his works in their required readings lists. His writings influenced Tolkien and George R.R. Martin. His descriptions of war are grotesque and inspiring. The pantheon of deities he created in his stories set the stage for the Greek mythology that followed him. This is the understanding I had when approaching the book. The bar was set rather high and unlike most expectations these ones were surpassed. As I finished reading volume 1, I asked myself, "how could a writer from the 8th century B.C. have achieved so much, when so many from our era have achieved so little?" Homer had no paper trail of literary criticism to follow. He had no classes in writing style and technique, and yet the Iliad is of such a high caliber that we still read him today. Wayne C. Booth brought to our attention Homer's "leave nothing up to the reader" style of reading. If Homer wants you to favor one group over another, he is going to come out and say it. He can tell you every thought and intent of each character. Homer doesn't care that it would be impossible for anyone to know the thoughts of Agamemnon or Hector. He knows what they thought and that's enough. Many writers today shy away from such literary techniques in favor of modes that demand "reader response." This is not necessarily bad, it's just a different approach but many of their works, if not all, will not demand the attention of 2,800 years worth of readers.

Excellent for learning Homeric Greek
Format: Hardcover
The book is bilingual Homeric Greek-English. It is a Word to word translation of the wonderful ancient text... Reading Iliad is a must for all modern man. With this book, with the help of the opposite page English translation, you can read it in its original too. Homeric Greek is not biblical Greek. It's even older and more beautiful.. So, It may not be the best book for biblical greek readers or learners. But if you are serious about learning ancient Greek and want to do it by reading it word by word with the help of English translation, this book is the right one to start with. Homeric Greek is a dead language, therefore people don't know how to pronounce it. There are many theories about it but there is an interesting guy on YouTube with the nickname "kleber kosta", and he is the best reader of Iliad when it comes to pronouncing it.
