That men worshipped him like a god, but no one mourned.
(About Heracles)



This woman paints with her words. Even if they are less they paint such a vivid picture, I see entire scenes dancing in front of my eyes.

A heart breaking short story about the abandonment of Philoctetes on an island before the Trojan war.

This is not very good. Probably one of the first things she wrote I assume? I won't leave a bad rating since I like the author, but yea don't expect much from this one.

I just found it hard to really get into with it being a short story, but still great none the less.

We already know the story but madeline always makes it heartbreaking.
