what do you think about Cycnus and Phylius?
I like it. It’s very interesting. I feel bad for Cycnus. Cycnus did not want to be followed by Phylius, and yet. I also feel bad for Phylius and Thyrie. Nobody really has a happy ending? And still it is such a great romance. I also absolutely love the use of Heracles in this particular myth rather than any other god because of the a parallels between his labors (or is it labors?) and that of Phylius. Also, Cycnus would be half-brother to Asclepius!
