You say “Posaydon”, I say “Poseidon”…
Retellings of fictitious stories are all around us! In books, movies and even TV (I am addicted to Once Upon a Time!) In fact years ago, when I started reading Gregory Maguire and then actually saw Wicked, I couldn’t help but marvel at the genius! It is the myths, the fairy tales, the Sci-Fi journeys and fantasy worlds that enrich our lives and leave everlasting marks on our minds.
And so, the beauty of mythology is that it is just that – mythological. (When I re-read The Odyssey just before writing Silent Echo, I couldn’t help but think to myself, “Boy, that Homer sure had one heck of an imagination!”) And so who is to say that the myths surrounding the Ancient Greek Gods of yore are set in stone? And, furthermore, why should these Gods be stuck in “yore”? In Silent Echo: A Siren’s Tale, you will find new spins on the very same Gods and Goddesses you thought you knew. You’ll even find that these same Gods are struggling to make their way in a modern world with all of its technological challenges. These anachronisms and unique retellings of the affairs of the Gods are only one of the many threads woven into the magical cloth of this story.
