What actors could look like asphodelon's designs of Hades and Persephone? Because I would die happy if the tv show could have something like them.

Oh man that would be excellent! I think @asphodelon would know who was modeled after who.

BY THE WAY!! She has a beautiful full major minor arcana Greek Myth Tarot Deck with all her character illustrations on every card available for sale here:

Ευχαρίστως,

αν έπρεπε να φύγω από εδώ,

για να σωθώ από όλα αυτά,

θα προτιμούσα να πάω

εις την Λίμνη των Ασφοδέλων

όπου εκεί θα ομιλώ με την διάλεκτο των ανθών,

για να λησμονήσω όλα όσα βλέπω

εδώ στην κακοτράχαλη αυτήν,κακώς διαμορφωμένη, γη

των ανίκανων και των βλακών.

Να κτίσω εκεί την φωλιά μου

και να καλλιεργήσω την γη

χωρίς να θυμάμαι.Όταν λησμονούμε τα κακά σε γη

όπου δεν γίνονται άλλα

οι λησμονημένοι είναι οι χαμένοι

και όχι όσοι ήθελαν να σβήσουν από την μνήμη

όλα τα βλαβερά.Θα αισθανόμουν πως σώθηκα αν δεν θυμόμουν

κάθε ημέρα τα ονόματα και τις πράξεις

όλων αυτών των παρανοϊκών της θαυμάσιας αυτής γης,

αλλά δυστυχώς οι παρανοϊκοι είναι περισσότεροι

και νίκησαν γράφοντας και την ψεύτικη ιστορία τους

μαζί με τους υπηκόους τους.

Ας μείνουν, λοιπον, πάνω σε αυτόν τον ρημαγμένο τόπο

ως ανίδεοι, έρπομενοι, κακόβουλοι και βδελυροί.

All I know about you books of the Hades&Persephone myth is by the awesome drawings of asphodelon. I can't buy them but I have always wanted to read them! Now to know there's the possibility of a tv series or movie of them has me so hyped!!!!!! You deserve the praise for all your hard work. And I'm blessed to know there's such talented people like you behind writing such wonderful take on my favorite greek characters and couple!!! May the Gods bless you!!

Thank you! @asphodelon is a wonderful friend of mine and I absolutely love her her artwork.

As for Receiver of Many and Destroyer of Light, you can buy them from the links on my site, which I update all the time. Just look for the listing that says “Where to Buy” for both books if you want to read them for yourself :)

Got my Asphodelon Mythos Tarot deck and it’s absolutely gorgeous. My garbage photo doesn’t do it justice. The art is so good.

New icon credit goes to asphodelon . I cannot stress enough how much I adore kata-chthonia amazing retelling of Hades and Persephone's story called "Receiver of Many". The artwork that was inspired is spot on and I can't wait to see more!!

I just backed your kickstarter and I did it purely on faith, as I have yet to read your story (I know more than a few of my friends would say it's foolish, but I've done many foolish things in my life). I am a huge fan on Greek mythology and I found Asphodelon's art on tumblr, which pulled me in (and I have plans to create the costume of her Artemis once that design is finished), but that is how I found you. So here is to a successful kickstarter.

Wow. That's... fantastic, honestly. Receiver of Many is available to read for free at your leisure if you're interested. The link is in my blog and there's a lot of people that follow me who like it, so I hope your gamble in my writing pays off and I can't thank you enough for taking a blind chance by donating!

Also I would love to see the Artemis costume pictures when they eventually appear, and I think I can speak on Asphodelon's behalf that she's excited to see them too!

Thank you so much for contributing to my Kickstarter :)
