Well fleshed out characters, good storytelling.
Really zones in on feelings and motives of characters. Well imagined, and good synopses at the end. Trigger warning for assault and rape, which these myths are full of; but here as well, much detail is gone into. I forwarded through some of this.

Great storytelling!
To be honest, I started it because I expected it to be predictable and dry and I love the narrators voice and use it to drift off into sleep. Surprise! This writer took me into these well known stories and gave it a twist that made them relevant and moving to me. Of course excellent narration. So it totally failed in boring me to sleep. ;)

More Mythos!! Plus gore
Loved to hear more Ancient Greek stories, some alternative tellings and some I’ve never heard of before. Really enjoyed the realistic gruesome descriptions and tragedy.
