This young woman could pass as Richard Ayoades twin sister. She sounds just as smart, too!

Beware, this is not a novel. The more you know about Greek mythology the more you realize the connection with human psychology (see Karl Joung or better Joseph Campbell on the archetypes and comparative mythology) And as above so below the connection of the character and archetypes of the gods you start realizing they are not metaphorically "in heaven" they are really in heaven as they are the 7 most important celestial bodies and the stars. The more you know about astronomy the more you understand Ovid's poems as the first two chapters describes perfectly how heavens works and the impact on the earth. He speaks about global warming.

This seems like some english bs, not the original thing which is in latin
