5/13/2023 0 Comments Ariadne by jennifer saint summary![]() ![]() But since he’s been born, her mother seems to get more and more distant with every passing day, as the half-bull child grows into a nightmarish creature whom Minos renames the Minotaur after himself, and who needs to be trapped in a labyrinth running underneath the king’s palace. Saint’s mesmerisingly beautiful prose makes Ariadne a fascinating read, even though it doesn’t quite live up to the standards set by other feminist Greek myth retellings like Madeline Miller’s Circe, and ultimately doesn’t really stand out amongst the many mythological reimaginings we’ve been getting over the past few years.Īriadne, the eldest princess of Crete, still remembers the time before her monstrous brother Asterion’s birth, when her mother used to smile and dance with her and tell her the stories of gods and heroes and monsters. In her feminist reimagining of Ariadne’s tale, Saint hands over narrative agency to princess Ariadne and her sister Phaedra, instead of the better known heroes like Theseus and the god Dionysus whose lives got intertwined with those of the two sisters’. If you are familiar with the ancient Greek myths and legends, you might know Ariadne as the traitorous daughter of King Minos who betrayed her family and kingdom, and helped the Athenian prince Theseus kill the Minotaur, a monster who was her own brother. ![]() Jennifer Saint’s Ariadne is a retelling of the story of the Cretan princess Ariadne, a well-known figure from the Greek myths. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Lanark by Alasdair Gray![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A member of the tech crew announced that, in order to test the sound, he would read out an entire year’s worth of winning lottery numbers.

I walked by the recently re-opened Clutha Vaults, a pub famously crashed into by a helicopter, in 2013. Boxy flower bouquets put up by the city council looked a bit like faces. Tall merchant houses alternated with blinkered pieces of modernism. I arrived there on a gray day in the first half of August, after walking by the water through misty rain, alongside skimming seagulls.

(My mother was an atheist, but she went to church on Christmas and Easter). I became a Christian when I was ten years old. I had read Dorothy Day’s autobiography, THE LONG LONELINESS and knew that my future as a Christian, would have to be bound to the works of mercy.
