Yeah,
Marsyas is finished, and I thought I'd share that the story takes place in
Ancient Greece.
Thinking back to the four previous stories in the
Mythological Messes Redux series, only one [
Double Punch
takes place largely in San Francisco] has a footing in contemporary times. Mount Olympus, various temples, residential dwellings, settings out amongst nature and a forge are where most of the important things take place in this series.
A great deal of information is known about what life was during this time and the scenery is also fairly well established, which offers a good base to write a story based in this period. The series is founded in giving mythological characters a second chance at a new ending and I think from the offer through to the outcome needs to be plausible. The most difficult part in writing this series is when I needed to take a known site and manipulate it enough to suit the story, without creating something that wouldn't be possible during that period.
Yes, I love a challenge, and you'll have to check out
Marsyas when it's released to see how it all turns out.
