Review by: Kirsten Osbourne on May 05, 2011 :
The story was okay. I do agree with the first reviewer and wish that the dilemma had been revealed. Without having it revealed at all, I feel like I've only understood part of the story. I would like to know exactly what happened.

Review by: T. W. King on Feb. 25, 2011 :
I actually enjoyed this story. With a few exceptions, the writing is pretty solid. The sole sexual encounter in the story is well described, not too bland or clichéd. I'm no expert on Ancient Greece, but I've read my fair share about its history and mythology, and it seems to me that the story's setting and characters are well researched, which I appreciate.

Since the first reviewer has already seen fit to discuss the story's ending, I'll add my own take on it. I was ambivalent at first, and for a while I thought I hated it, that it showed, perhaps, a lack of imagination on the author's part, but for some reason I couldn't get too worked up about it, and so, after some deliberation, I decided that it worked for me. Although it's not an epic tale from the past, it is a myth of sorts, or a modern attempt at mythography--and as with any myth, it contains a lesson. In this case, as with Greek fables, the lesson is explicitly stated at the end, and although it isn't one of great life-changing importance, it is a lesson about the protagonist of the tale, the goddess Pyrrhia, in the tradition of actual Greek myths. The fact that the goddess' embarrassing situation is never revealed actually fits the lesson imparted and, moreover, allows the reader to use his or her imagination--which, after all, is what an erotic fantasy is all about.

I thought the author was delaying describing the dilemma the goddess was in for dramatic effect. To not reveal it at all was very irritating. I didn’t like that at all.
