BIO

I'm a J.R. Arnold High School junior, class of 2026, and I participate in my school's Junior Classical League. I'm in the National Latin Honor Society and I am a co-editor of our yearbook. After high school, I plan on attending a four-year university where I want to major in creative writing or another English category. My goals are to ultimately work in the publishing and writing industry, to become an author myself, and to help other writers achieve their goals.

Abstract

This is a new, original Greek myth using classical figures in classical settings that does not contradict any pre-existing myths. It includes classic mythological characters while giving a voice to minor characters that have little existing story.
