Going travelling in #Europe for the next few weeks so on a break from Mastodon. Leaving behind a menagerie of creatures; one #cat, 3-4 #hedgehogs, a nursery of #caterpillars and one recovering #injured #pigeon named Mary Shelley (house-sitting arranged). Have a good August!

The transformative #power of #nature.

This used to an open-cast mine and local eye-sore.
Today it's a peaceful nature reserve and recreational beauty spot with wild birds and even a heron.

The #Odysseus #Greek #myth mentions Phorkys bay, thought a reference to Monk #seals (phokia). They inhabit caves and beaches in Northern #Kefalonia and #Ithaka, now considered key areas for their survival in the Mediterraean.

Just curious about why you had a reference to Persephone in your book title? What the connection is?

Yes, Telegonos is historical fiction based on the Odysseus myth. The original story was very popular for hundreds of years in the ancient classical world. My story telling follows the original outline of the story with some creativity (as the ancient sources are fragmentary). 🙂
