While his contemporaries considered Blake a madman, we now appreciate him as an important figure in the development of romantic and mystical poetry.
Blake's poetry is unique from every angle: It possesses a philosophical depth that impacts the reader at a spiritual level.
Blake created his own mythological world, which he outlined in his prophetic books. His complex world is inhabited by deities and heroes to whom he gave unusual names: Urizen, Luva, Tarmas, Urton, Los, Enitarmon, Aania, etc. The inspiration for Blake's mythology has many origins, including the Bible, Greek and Roman mythology, Scandinavian Eddas, and treatises by occultists and religious mystics.
