Nice! I like the creativity here - age old myths that still resonate. And while all the deeds have been done and doomed, you still wish it'd go differently.

I’ve been fascinated with Greek/Roman mythology ever since I was a kid and these are great. I love them.

I wrote a long poem on Persephone, once.

Thank: for the encouragement, Rosa! I have a few more I’ve jotted down and will need to revise, but there is certainly a chance do do more in the future. We’ll see how they turn out.

Very much enjoyed these, especially the first on Narcissus (as that's the one I'm most familiar with). Delightful.

I think a short but beautiful Zane Paxton hardcover book of poetry should happen in the future.

I can picture these mythic odes with images in a beautiful book, a primer to initiate people into poetry and Greek mythology.
