I’m just trying to make sense of it all…

…through the lens of mythology. You’ll find retellings here, sure. But also continuations: where I drag these mythic characters forward and drop them into the modern world to see what survives.

Same soul. New arena.

I mean why let the divine drama end when we can just move it downtown?

So...What Now?

Mythology is malleable. For every story, there are alternate versions and endings, as each storyteller has a different intention: to reflect cultural moments, to entertain, or to simply provoke a strong emotion. I pick the version(s) that I find most interesting for each post, but there are usually myriad other ways each story plays out.

I love myths. I write stories. Mortals are safe(ish) here.
