My version of him anyway :) Otherwise, I’m a big fan of Maleficent. Half the fun is putting together the timeline and seeing the way all the mythical figures fit together.
Events from the stories we all know happened in the past, but not in the way people think, and some events from the stories we all know are still unfolding. I like to think of my books as Once Upon a Time reimagined for Greek mythology. If you could cross any two fairy tales or myths together, which would you choose?
I’ve always figured if I was in a book, I’d probably end up being a thoroughly un-magical background character. But despite being a nymph, she’s exceedingly average. Melissa is a nymph and one of Persephone’s priestesses and her best friend. Which mythical character do you see yourself in the most, or do you relate to most and why? His typical role is played by Boreas, yet another serial rapist in Greek Mythology. For example, in my version, Hades is a good guy who offers Persephone shelter in the Underworld. Aphrodite on the other hand, was involved in so many myths, that I really had to pick and choose. Mythically speaking, Persephone is only involved in a handful of myths, so I was really able to include a lot of fantastic detail. What elements of the Greek myth of Persephone did you use when incorporating the tale into your own novel?Įvery single element I could find. My books feature the Greek Gods living in the modern day. What makes your book magical, mythical, or mischievous? Today I’m welcoming Kaitlin Bevis, author of the Daughters of Zeus series, to the blog to participate in our fun interview series! I reviewed the first book in this series last week!
