▸ This series is my gift for 10,000 followers... Thank you all!

▸ I studied mythology / The Epics in college and had the Iliad next to me all marked up with notes while writing. I attempted to make it as faithful to the source material as possible, while still throwing in my own opinions of the characters.

▸ I refuse to call her Helen of Troy. She was not in Troy willingly, despite what the movie made you believe.
