Estela

“...she was trapped between competing desires, a desire for a more meaningful connection and the desire to never change. She wished for eternal youth and endless merriment.”
― Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Mexican Gothic

“[Diontsos].
Swoony type,
long hair, bedroom eyes,
cheeks like wine.”
― Euripides, The Bacchae

“And they say to us that we're never at risk,
sheltered at home, while they fight with spears.
How wrong they are: I'd rather three times over
stand behind a shield than give birth once.”
― James Romm, The Greek Plays: Sixteen Plays by Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripedes

“There's something magical about song and story when they're given, something unique.”
― A.G. Slatter, All the Murmuring Bones
