Origin of Academia

Over 4.5 years (2011-2015) I composed 126,680 lines of blank verse in my epic poem Science of Hermes or the Hermead as an epic about the origin and development of Academia as the academic tradition of philosophy and science in Western Civilization.

Quest Romance

Individually, each episode of the Hermead is a quest romance of one philosopher developing a key concept that helps form the foundation of our academic tradition of the search for the nature of things. Overall, it is an Epic about the origin of Academia.

Alchemy of Artistic Creation

Like Homer, I composed the epic Hermead as historical fiction from existing sets of stories about culturally significant people of the distant past, and through the alchemy of artistic creation I molded fragments of legends into a new object of art.

One Poet

Having composed the Hermead (126,680 lines), which is 4.5 times longer than the Iliad (15,693 lines) and the Odyssey (12,110 lines) combined, I believe without a doubt that one poet composed both epics over a period of 10 to 20 years.

I am Simon Seamount. I earned a MS in Geographic Information Science. I work as a cartographer, and write epic poetry.

My pen name is Surazeus. I wrote an epic poem about philosophers called Hermead that presents the lives and ideas of 26 ancient philosophers in 126,680 lines of blank verse.
