Hi everyone, “But he that once embarks, too surely finds A sullen Sky, black Storms, and angry Winds. Cares, Fears and Anguish, hov’ring on the Coast, And Wrecks of Wretches by their Folly lost.” Samuel Garth I have just gotten back from the most fabulous trip to Athens with my boyfriend and whilst I was …
Hi everyone, Still riding the Egyptian high (and still one more book for Egypt to come) and I think I will do for the rest of my life. “This is a book about a man whose life and death became front page need throughout the world between the autumn of 1922 and the spring of …
Hey everyone, “Oh Mother Nût! Spread thy wings over me as the Imperishable Stars.” I am sorry for the delayed blog post! With going to Egypt at the start of March to other issues arising in my personal life, there’s been a lot going on and I have struggled to find the mental space to …

Well this is technically the 4th book in the series. I say technically because it’s almost a stand-alone series …
Hello everyone! I’m back this time and a little sooner than I was last time! Speaking of last time, remember Mythos?

Onto our second book of my Greek pickings and here we travel to Troy and the tale of Helen of Troy and the wooden horse… “If this story, the story of Troy, has a meaning or a moral it is the old, simple lesson that actions have consequences. What Tantalus did, exacerbated by what Pelops …
