Persephone's life has been one of leisure among the verdant fields: the maiden of flowers, sheltered by her mother, the Harvest Goddess Demeter. Now she is a woman, a goddess in her own right, yearning for freedom- even as the terms of an ancient pact are about to come due.

Hades's life has been one of solitude in the somber land of the dead: for millennia he has served as the God of the Underworld, living without attachments, eternally governing the souls of mortals. But he dreams of the young goddess who was promised to be his wife, and knows it is time for his Kingdom to have a Queen. When Hades arrives to claim his betrothed, he finds a young goddess eager to unearth her divine potential- and a powerful mother unwilling to let go.

Receiver of Many begins an erotic story of passion and possession, duty and desire, and a struggle that threatens both ancient Greece and the Realm of the Dead itself.

I love being a writer.

Demeter: Fancast

I wanted to try and find Greek actresses or at least actresses who are Greek-American or part Greek because I just find it completely stupid that most movies and shows about ancient Greece and Rome are almost solely populated by actors who are in no way of Mediterranean descent, who annoyingly have English accents. (Literally, WHY do they have English accents? It’s not taking place in ancient England. They aren’t English, wtf. It’s been bothering me for years.)

So in the interest of having characters from a certain culture portrayed by the people descended from that culture, this is my list.

I was looking for someone who I thought looked matronly but who looked like they could do “nice, loving” mom as well as “hell hath no fury and you are totally punished” mom.

In no particular order:

Melina Kanakaredes

It seems like she gravitates more towards dramatic work. She played Athena in the first Percy Jackson movie, so we already know she might do something that involved Greek Myths.

Rita Wilson

I actually didn’t know she was Greek for a long time, mostly because of her stage name. She’s done a lot of dramatic work and played moms in a few things before. She also produced Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Nia Vardalos

Yes, of Big Fat Greek Wedding fame. She’s done some dramatic things as well as comedic things.

Elizabeth Perkins 

Another actress I didn’t know was Greek because of her name. She’s done comedic as well as dramatic work. She played Alcmene in a tv series about Hercules so she might be interested in playing a goddess in another Greek myth.

Anyway, that’s my list of lovely Greek actresses that, to me, could play loving moms as well as someone ready to destroy the world in order to get her daughter back :)

what does your username mean?

I switched my username to TheRKAlexander. 1) it was available. 2) it’s my name. 3) it’s easier to spell for marketing purposes.

So for future reference:

kata-chthonia is now TheRKAlexander

If you could be anywhere right now, where would you be?: I'm actually perfectly comfortable where I am! I mean, I'd rather not be procrastinating on my research paper but other than that I'm content! 7. Where would you time travel to?: I would much rather not time travel, to be honest! Too many things I could screw up 😁 8. First thing you would do with lottery money?: I think the smart thing to do is put a large portion away to save up and collect interest.
