Daughter of Necessity A Tor.Com Original

This short story made me question my own intelligence. This just wasn't for me. I'm really not exaggerating. Like i really didn't understand half of what i'd read. It was confusing and perhaps too lyrical for my two-neurone brain. But anyways it was a good thing that i'd known Odysseus' myth beforehand or else i wouldn't have understand ANYTHING.

this was fine but i did not feel particularly invested even though i quite like penelope as a mythological figure

3.5/5 I freaking love myth retellings! Especially the ones with a spin (it's a pun in this context). I've been meaning to read The Odyssey for a while now, but it's quite long and dense, I have no time cause of uni. However this little novella made me wanna read it even more. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves Greek mythology.
