Detailed explanation-1: -"Lamia” is a narrative poem written by the English poet John Keats, which first appeared in the volume Lamia, Isabella, the Eve of St Agnes and Other Poems, published in July 1820. The poem was written in 1819, during the famously productive period that produced his 1819 odes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Romantic poet John Keats’s writing style consisted of the use of imagery personification, metaphors, and alliteration. Keats worked to create musical connotation in his works.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main theme of the poem concerns the tension between appearance and reality. Lamia’s beauty is superficial and destructive. However, Keats seems ambivalent about the coldly scientific attitude expressed by Apollonius.
Detailed explanation-4: -Keats’ retelling of Lamia is unique in his sympathy for her because unlike other interpretations, he portrays her as an enchantress, goddess, and a victim of enchantment rather than just depicting her outright as an evil half woman monster.
