Or just thought it might be fun to stick a character from Greek myth into his landscape and see who noticed?

Perhaps time to reread, as I suspect I will understand it better now!

My copy of the book was falling apart from reading and rereading, so I had to buy it in ebook!<br /><br />Hi Melanie! You really don’t want to even try thinking about time lines in the Greek myths, they are all over the place! But yes, this is one story. <br />I recall you had the same problem with your comments last time and used your old Blogger account. Next time, could you put in a link to your delightful A to Z posts, so we can all just click through? I do get your blog posts by email, but perhaps other readers might like to check out your blog too. 🙂Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27643523.post-9496613231749084292021-04-05T07:23:08.722-07:002021-04-05T07:23:08.722-07:00Hello!

For example, I knew the thing about Pasiphae, but not that it resulted in her personally giving birth to the Minotaur (though, I mean, that makes total sense, now that I think about it. Or as much sense as these things generally do, anyway). Or that Daedalus was in the offing during the Pasiphae incident, making sneaky cow sculptures and so on. So, it was especially interesting to read this post, because it made lots of things connect up in my mind. Always neat. <br />Um. Thank you for juggling the Comments thing! Of course, now that I've put you to all that trouble, I've figured out how to comment with my blogger account (which I apparently had all the time, only I'd forgotten about). Still, it might be helpful for other people...
