Theme-wise, I have a few thoughts:<br /><br />Returning to home and family: Donovan was trying to do the latter at the end UP JIM RIVER, and a trip into the Confederacy might allow the former, i.e. a return to Terra. Though that is a theme much more prominent in the ODYSSEY.<br /><br />Wrath: "Sing to me, Muse, of the wrath of Achilles, son of Peleus, which brought countless ills upon the Acheans."<br /><br />Fate: It's been awhile since I've read the ILIAD or the ODYSSEY, but fate/destiny often play a big part in the Greek poetry/drama. Plus, it seems like you could have a lot of fun writing about determinism vs. free will with these characters and this setting. I have the inkling of a memory that you already have actually, but I'll have to re-read JANUARY DANCER and UP JIM RIVER again to refresh my memory.<br /><br />First or not, right or not, I plan on attending the January 21 reading/signing at the Easton B&N, so I hope to be able to shake your hand regardless.Just Some Priesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728002843330136601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447603865959500290.post-83171598306273039822012-01-06T22:16:23.682-05:002012-01-06T22:16:23.682-05:00The Illiad?
