Nymphs are my favorite paranormal creature. They embody what the ancient Greeks hoped and feared women might be like if unfettered by the normal rules of society. Primal. Powerful. Capricious. Captivating.

In my Mythica series for HQN Nocturne, two of my heroines are nymphs, so I had the bright idea to make up a ‘Which Kind of Nymph Are You?’ quiz. It looks as if someone else beat me to it, and with much prettier art work than I might have come up with. I’m not surprised at my own result–which I’ve posted below. My latest heroine is an underworld nymph and I clearly identify with her.

But now I hope you’ll take the quiz and post your results. What kind of nymph are you?

What Is Your Nymph Type? Underworld Nymph The Lampades are the nymphs of the Underworld in Greek mythology. Companions of Hecate, the Greek titan goddess of witchcraft and crossroads, they were a gift from Zeus for Hecate’s loyalty in the Titanomachy. They bear torches and accompany Hecate on her night-time travels and hauntings.

Hey, I think this is really cool. George O’Connor is writing a series of Greek mythology comic books for children, and I can’t wait for my nephew to be old enough to enjoy them!

I hope the Clash of the Titans people aren’t getting ahead of themselves in chatting up “trilogy potential” for their new movie. I have to say that as the author of MIDNIGHT MEDUSA I am predisposed not to like Perseus very much–especially in this picture! The director said:

It’s like James Cameron with ‘Avatar,’ he can explore different planets. Well, I can explore Greek mythology. You’ve got so many creatures, so many heroes, so many gods. You have Daedalus, Icarus, Percivel. Amazing stuff. You’ve got several worlds. I could spend the rest of my life directing Greek mythology movies and I would still not finish everything.”

“If ‘Clash’ does well and we’re lucky enough to make it into a franchise, that’s what I’d love to do,” he said. He even offered some hints as to where things could go next! “Before the gods, there were the titans, there were even bigger creatures and monsters. That could be something. It’s ancient superheroes.”

Okay, so this game looks pretty neat. It appears to be a free browser game in which you can play against the backdrop of Greek mythology.

If only I had the time to play…
