Men of Myth by Wendy Sparrow
You’d need to be dead and buried to have missed the resurgence of retold and recast myths. And, really,
good stories boil down to a hero’s journey and common characters, but we’re starting to see familiar
faces. The Greek Gods…Norse Legends…and even the fairy tale characters are getting yanked from their
comfort zones and thrown out into the sunshine.
I don’t think we’ll ever tire of this trick either—at least I won’t. There is something about seeing a
bedtime story all grown up. If the mere mention of a few names doesn't send your pulse racing just a bit
and a smirk to your lips, well, stick the tag on your toe, darling, because you’re dead.
We’ll try it. Put your hand over your heart to check that heartbeat, and I’ll toss out a few.
