After the World Has Fallen

Introduction

Humans are made to tell stories. Without them, we wouldn't be who we are. These tales of challenge and triumph, which are as old as the origin of language itself, transcend and break the boundaries of time and space. Weaving together five timeless stories and two original works, After the World Has Fallen retells classic tales with a contemporary lens and brings the world of Ancient Greece into our modern time. Through the tales of Hades and Persephone, Icarus, the naming of Athens, Arachne, and Hippolyte and Herakles, the ancient themes of Greek mythology are revealed to still exist today, and are shown to be as important now as they were 3,000 years ago.
