Sing O goddess, of Hera's rage, how they vilified her for it, even if she was a woman betrayed. Sing O goddess, of Helen's desire, how everyone forgot she was the daughter of the most powerful God and that was what made the whole world burn. Sing O goddess, of Hestia's fires, how she left the cruelty of Olympus for a peaceful life - how she gave Prometheus the idea to steal the sacred flames for the mortal world. Sing O goddess, but not of Odysseus or Menelaus, Achilles or Agamemnon. Sing instead of women full of fire. Sing us the torch song which brings wildfire when Goddesses like you are ignored.

Hades to Persephone

I sensed you before I saw you.

The sugar flavour of meadow wrapped nectar in the air, and my eyes searched for its source, your face the essence of what I had been waiting for all those cold and lonely years my family had made me the guardian of Elysian and hell, until you stepped into my world like a galaxy bursting in front of an astronomer's telescope.

Tell me, with all those speckles on your skin did anyone tell you that you are a constellation, waiting to be loved and explored? Did the bumbling River-Gods who tried to court you ever understand that you were destined for so much more?

I need more fairytales written by current day authors.

I need anthologies or even poetry like “The Lives of Saints” / “The Language of Thorns” by Leigh Bardugo and “Fierce Fairytales” / “Great Goddesses” by Nikita Gill.

They’re a necessity and if you have recommendations please leave them in the replies

A little comic for “Poseidon, God of the Sea” by Nikita Gill. I recently bought her book Great Goddesses and fell in love with it.

I have so much more pointed out than this but y’all should totally read Great Goddesses by Nikita Gill.

I was born to bring justice. Not to feel pity for those who felt nothing but glee while building palaces out of the tears born from their treachery
