Southern Greek Mythology
Y’all know I’m crazy about the Greeks, have been since third grade when I did a report on Greece. I’ve reinterpreted some of the mythology: I reject the idea of Persephone as a goddess without agency: controlled by her husband half the year and her mother the other half? Nope. She is the queen of the underworld who left Kore behind when she took her rightful place, and she brings all of her attributes to the underworld, transforming it into a summer palace with terraced slopes and majestic gardens and baths. I’m putting the various pieces I’ve completed here for easy access to everything in this collection.

Glass Winter | Chapter XXIV
The trees induced both a storm of despair and sublime awe in Sevt, brewing quietly in his chest like an encroaching thief in the night. Their surfaces shimmered in frozen sheens as he limped past with a light in one hand and a crutch under his other arm. Overhead, through a coniferous canopy cloaked in snow, their people’s guiding lights slowly danced across the skies. Even without his lantern staff, Sevt could see far enough with their glow, the woods suspended in an eternal twilight.
