- Abstract
- en_US The flyleaf has it right: Each of these fifty delightfully wicked 'modern fables' contains a shard of mythology at its core, overlaid with the experiences of contemporary life, like an oyster pearling a grain of sand. Yes, these are a contemporary experience of mythology more than they are fables. This book would make a fine supplementary text in a mythology course. The individual stories are from two to ten pages in length and touch well on contemporary experiences of the dynamics and struggles expressed in classical myths. I enjoyed the first three, entitled Orfeos, A Prophecy, and Afrodite.
