“Myths are stories about people who become too big for their lives temporarily, so that they crash into other lives or brush against gods. In crisis their souls are visible.” –Anne Carson, Introduction to Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides
[ID: A moodboard made of 9 images separated by a thin, dark gray border. 1: Mountains and a valley shrouded in fog. 2: Two small gold crowns and three dice (one yellow, one red, and one white) scattered atop a gray surface. 3: A large window, behind which is a forest surrounded by fog. 4: Various black and gold dice. 5: Someone holding a gray feather in front of their face, which is out of focus. The background is dark and hazy. The edges of the feather are on fire.
6: An ornate sword in a wooden box with a green lining. A gold cloth covers part of the box. 7: A figure wearing a tan cloak, with a quiver of arrows on their back. Their face is not in the photo. The background is an out-of-focus forest in autumn. 8: A river winding through a forested landscape. 9: Upturned palms covered in ash above a light gray background.]
