From Part Three: ATALANTA AND THE GOLDEN APPLES, Chapter Twenty

This is fun. I’m creating a star-circle for the Macedonians and introducing the players in a celebration of the sunrise at the vernal equinox.

Cast of Characters:
  • Daughter of the South Wind: Iris, played by Hyrie.
  • Son of the North Wind: Borus, played by Linus.
  • Son of the West Wind: Zephyrus, played by Orpheus.
  • Daughter of the East Wind: Aurora, played by a mysterious and beautiful visitor to Pella’s settlement who claims to be from the little-known Land of the Hyperboreans.
Too long have Humans lived by the turning of their moon alone,” Athena directs her astronomer. “Educate them about their star, the one that cradles them. Teach them to honor it with pageantry and song, lest when we return to our worlds and leave them here alone, they become like the Asu, ignorant and stranded on their planet forever.”
