Gods in Love

Gods in Love

Greek gods were humans with miraculous powers - and they used them to the full to seek love and escape its consequences. Among the characters in this first volume are a shepherd granted immortality to make love to the moon, a princess ravished by a clinging vine, a queen made pregnant by a bull, a dying lover turned into a flower and a nymph transformed into a constellation. Sometimes love goes unrequited: a young man dies because he cannot kiss his own reflection and a reluctant nymph becomes a tree. The ancient gods are gone, their temples long in ruins - yet their miracles of love live on.
