Tales from Mnemosyne retells Classical myths, largely known
from Ovid, in the voice and tradition of an Appalachian storyteller,
in this case, the goddess Mnemosyne. As the goddess of Memory and
mother of The Muses, she is uniquely qualified to set the record
straight—to tell the true stories without the usual patriarchal
propaganda, all the while keeping things fun and only slightly
blasphemous. Mnemosyne, as a timeless goddess, knows now and then
backwards and forwards and has as much to say about the here and now
as way back when. These fourteen tales include the most famous—Daphne
and Apollo, Europa and Jove, the Birth of Athena, Cupid and
Psyche—along with some too-often-forgotten ones, such as Tiresias and
his daughter Manto, and Oenone, the abandoned wife of Paris. Charon,
appropriately, concludes the proceedings.
