So all the Greek poetry* has tipped me over into Writing Something. I can't talk about it because I want it to be a surprise, but I guess this is one of those stories that have been in the works for ages and ages, so I am kind of excited that it is coalescing? Even though I have gotten everything wrong already, see subject line.
Anyway I never wrote it because it's essentially a songfic, in my head, but I can't find the song. On the Internet. So it exists only in my head. What is my life. But somehow I have finally managed to overcome this towering barrier to creativity.
* Per that Tumblr meme: Marguerite Yourcenar was also pissed off about the Library of Alexandria. She really wanted Aeschylus's Achilles/Patrocles trilogy, man, you would not believe. Apparently it was only in the Library in the first place because the Ptolemies borrowed the complete set of Aeschylus from Athens and paid a ridiculous fine rather than give it back.
