Ariadne retellings part 4
Greek myth already has a bunch of relationships between siblings, you don't need to invent more
I'm praying that Theseus kills the creature
Personally, this cover doesn't match the synopsis
And we have ANOTHER book where Knossos follows a vague Great Mother Goddess
What you mean the 14 athenians weren't told they were human sacrifice???
Oh yeah, we later have a ridiculous mention that a teenage boy made sexist comments towards cretan women but don't worry, this child was properly "punished" by being shoved down the stairs to the labyrinth 🤨
They're not savages, they just enjoy the imprisonment of children so they can be devoured alive by a monster. But hey, some women reached a small ammount of power under a made-up Mother Goddess so everything it's good!! 🤬
To my knowledge, Ariadne has at least 5 full brothers but they were all removed for this twin oc who's a drunk idiot just to showcase how superior the female character is 🙄
In which universe Hera would be bothered by Ariadne's hairstyle?...
"thanking her mother, Pasiphae, for her lessons in diplomacy and getting men to think the ideas you fed them were their own."
This is what pass as empowerment these days?
In what scenario a random sailor would threaten a princess and somehow not get killed? What makes him believe that Minos would approve the things he said?
Also why he's using words like "bitch" and "whore"?
Seriously, why so many female writers think sexual harassment is the best backstory option for female characters?
"Ariadne wanted a different fate than to be some prince's trophy, so she helped the wandering hero Theseus kill the Minotaur."
She didn't want to be a wife, so she helped Theseus on the condition of becoming his wife?...
"Instead of Dionysus at the end we supply Poseidon, and why not, his hand is in the plot from the very start. And telling the truth will help of course: That Theseus didn’t slay the Minotaur. Ariadne did."
It's one of those stories... 😒
Like, the prologue doesn't look bad but then
You have this obnoxious scene in modern day where someone argues that the myths were wrong and only the writer's James Cloud oc knows the "true story"
I guess it's some kind of play
Seriously that the name of the chorus leader is Adidas?...
