Nemesid (Mythology of the Modern World, #2)

by Eric Burns-White

Overview

Art and industry are often seen as mutually exclusive, but it wasn't always that way. In this modern myth, we learn the story of a nemesid named Adrastia Young -- one of the spirits of vengeance and retribution, partnered to a spirit of Good Order and a muse.

When Adrastia sees her partners grow closer to each other, she feels excluded. Her response doesn't just affect her relationships, but the world's relationship to the practical and the aesthetic from that point forward.

A story of the Mythology of the Modern World, which seeks to explain the mythological underpinnings of our world with a satirical and sometimes bittersweet bent.
