Whew, I love where this prompt took you. I've been a bit fascinated with iterations of Atlas since reading Jeanette Winterson's retelling of the Atlas story in a short novel titled "Weight." I should reread that.

I did not even know that story you just mentioned. I will have to look it up!

I don’t think it was widely published. It was part of a series of modern authors writing new stories for Greek (I think?) mythological figures.

How awesome though! It sounds like the Gregory Maguire books of rethinking fairy tales.

Yes! Less whimsical but in my memory they are so beautiful. I’ll have to revisit them—it’s been a few years!
