So after skipping out on the 2013 A to Z challenge, I decided to bite the bullet and participate this year. It wasn't really hard to choose a topic. I went with what I know best...
Not-So-Well-Known Greek Myths
Back in 2012 I did Greek mythology, but I chose pretty popular myths and characters to base my challenge posts on. This year I have a line-up of some pretty obscure characters. I think most will have heard the names but not know exactly who it is or how they fit into the myths. Never fear! I got you!
And of course, I plan on making these as hilarious and irrelevant as possible. Here is one such example (links to my author site):
I'll try to include quotes from my books as well (the Oracle of Delphi series and the Mythos series), which have grown like crazy since 2012. Many quotes to choose from this go-round! Excited for April 1st!
Obscure myths and stories. That is unique. I actually found a few weird Greek myths as I did mine which were literary terms. I just ask, why can't Zeus mate with human females as a human male...WHY MUST HE BE ANIMALS!!!?
Best of luck to you. Check me out: http://writing.chrisvotey.com
I don't know much about Greek mythology except I want to know more. I look forward to reading your posts in April to achieve that goal! Happy A to Zing!
I had a bit of a "late, late" like the Rabbit of Alice in Wonderland start to the A to Z Reveal today! Thankfully, everyone has been posting their Reveal posts to Twitter, and thereby, I am able to visit & hop! :)
I must confess, the last time I was settled into the Greek myths was middle school, and I didn't quite appreciate the lore, the myths, or the stories woven into the Greeks lives as I most likely should have been! Whilst I dropped by earlier today on your blog I thought,... perhaps its time to re-visit and see if I can find something I can appreciate whilst reading about A to Z topics on Greek Mythology!? Consider me a frequent April visitor! :)
Have a wicked sweet time blogging! I'm quite excited myself! :) I'm a first timer btw!
This sounds like a lot of fun! I'll be back to your blog in April to see how you relate those Greek myths to various topics. Cheers! marci at Fuzzy Undertones (marcilicious.com)
