Greek Mythology in HBO’s True Blood
Thursday, September 17th, 2009
When I heard that Clash of the Titans was going to be remade, I said that I like to think that this is going to be a good year for Greek Myth inspired fiction. Now that HBO’s True Blood is getting in on the act, I’m even more hopeful.
In addition to my two Nocturne Bites, MIDNIGHT MEDUSA (a retelling of the gorgon myth) and WILD, TETHERED, BOUND (a new way to look at ancient dryads and chimeras), I have two forthcoming Myth-inspired novels and to top it off, HBO’s True Blood is apparently exploring some of the oldest stories about Psyche, Cupid, Aphrodite and others.
I’m not much of a vampire girl, but if they’re pulling from primordial roots like this for their storytelling, perhaps I ought to start watching True Blood.
