Jennifer Saint Quote: “Being a god and loving mortals means nothing more than watching them die. I know that all too well. Everytime I see my children learn a new skill, acquire a new word, take another step away from us, I see their shadow drifting in Hades’ halls years from now, beyond my reach. You as well, one day nothing but smoke and ashes.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “Let him come back so that I can see his eyes as the light drains from them. Let him come back and die at the hands of his bitterest enemy. Let him come back so that I can watch him suffer. And let me make it slow.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “I danced, and the slow, simmering anger boiled to rage in my veins, propelling me onward, until I dropped in the dead center of the floor, hopelessly entangled in scarlet skeins, panting for breath and waiting for the heavy clouds that fogged my brain and my vision to clear.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “Daedalus took comfort in the baby Icarus, and I loved to see him walking about with the infant dandled in his arms, showing the oblivious child the flowers and the birds and the many wonders of the palace.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “Often, they would say that at the very moment Agamemnon raised the knife, Artemis took pity on Iphigenia and swapped her for a deer. In this version of the story, my daughter lives on as a priestess and favourite of the goddess on an island somewhere. Crucially, in this telling, Agamemnon did nothing more than slaughter a simple animal. It’s poetic and pretty, and so very clean.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “The gods would take what they wanted, whenever they wanted it.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “The cold green of his eyes. Like the shock of the chill waters when the sea floor drops away unexpectedly beneath your feet and you realise that you have swum out far beyond your depth.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “Being a god and loving mortals means nothing more than watching them die.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “To be surprised, you had to have a belief that the world would follow its rhythms and patterns as it had always done.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “When the stars collapse in on us all and the world is consumed by fire, when everything is reduced to white dust, Hades will still sit and rule his swollen kingdom.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “The wine tasted like dirt to me. I could shriek out my warnings, claw at my flesh, hurl my goblet right into Paris’ face, but they would still carry on as though I did not exist.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “They are the cause of their own suffering, and yet they will never see it. They will rage against the gods all day long, and pray to them and plead for their mercy in the darkness of night. But they will never see how simply they could make their lives better for themselves.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “I wondered how many of them had wives waiting for them, mothers and daughters perhaps. What would those women think if they could see their menfolk, as they stood guard over us, the weeping, grieving survivors of Troy?”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “I didn’t know much about men; between Minos, the Minotaur and now Cinyras, I hadn’t wanted to learn. Or so I thought, until I caught the gaze of a handsome hostage and on the strength of that glance, let the fire he ignited within me burn down everything I knew.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “No one intervened to try to stop me from becoming what I became.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “While I was thankful to Orpheus for protecting us from the lure of their song, I wished there was a way I could have seen them more closely. I felt drawn toward them by something other than their magic. It was their rage, I thought, the anger for their stolen girl that made them punish every man they saw.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “Can you blame me for thinking it better to garner the love of a thousand mortals instead; to hold the adoration of a city instead of one consort’s frail, mortal flesh?”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “Because if I had learned anything, I had learned enough to know that a god in pain is dangerous.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “We would lay down our lives for our children, and every time we faced birth, we stood on the banks of that great river that separated the living from the dead. A massed army of women, facing that perilous passage with no armour to protect us, only our own strength and hope that we would prevail. It didn’t feel like the right conversation to have on the way to her wedding.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “I would wear that coronet of snakes and the world would shrink from me instead.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “She had sacrificed everything she knew for a love as ephemeral and transient as the rainbows that glimmered through the sea spray.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “Was this my punishment? To live the reality of my dream and find out that its glittering beauty faded to nothing when I stepped close?”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “I had given Theseus the clue to the Labyrinth, fourteen lives of Athens, and the death of my own brother. In exchange, he granted me perhaps a week to live in exile, imprisoned on a desolate island.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “He was that impossibly rare thing – a man who was exactly who he presented himself to be.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “I danced for the end of everything I knew and the beginning of everything I did not.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “We might only have a mortal lifetime, but it will belong to us, and no one else.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “And back then, I did not know how wings could melt and peel away from your body; how someone could plunge so unexpectedly from their soaring ascent to freedom and be swallowed by the ravenous waves below.”

Jennifer Saint Quote: “I knew it was a king’s duty to hold up the sky for his citizens, to prevent them from being crushed beneath it, no matter how much his back may buckle or his muscles scream for mercy.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “I felt his calm and his assurance roll through my veins like that cold, green water, soothing my rapid pulse with each heavy surge.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “And now he wanted me to pretend it was all his doing; another story to build his legend.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “He showed me that he was truly the best of all men, of all gods. It was not just his stories; I had fallen for tales woven in the moonlight before and knew better than to trust a man’s account of himself.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “The world was bathed in gold as I reached my dancing-floor. The stillness of dawn was breaking to the stirring of life, to the high, fluting notes of the songbirds and the ripple of warmth that promised the heat of the day to come.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “It did not feel momentous, yet when I tore my eyes away from his I found that nothing looked quite the same, as though the world had fractured and sheared away from itself to reshape in almost – but not quite – the same formation. As though I had looked at a waterfall and realised with a faint jolt that the water flowing over the rock was ever-changing, that it would never be the same water again.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “And how everything they once were, that spark within them, could be extinguished so completely yet the world did not collapse under the weight of so much pain and grief.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “In the pit of the night, the blackness engulfing me would stretch to the very ends of eternity. I would hear the clattering of hooves and the huffing of breath through the bull’s snout and I would claw at the covers, desperately trying to bury myself and holding my breath until stars exploded against my tightly closed eyelids and I had to gasp for air, terrified of what I would see when I surfaced.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “What the god’s liked was ferocity, savagery, the snarl and the bite and the fear. Always, always the fear, the naked edge of it behind the smoke rising from the altars, the high note of it in the muttered prayers and praise we sent heavenward.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “I could hear in their breathless, excited conversations the echo of two sisters who had loved each other all those years ago on Crete.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “What I did not know was that I had hit upon a truth of womanhood: However blameless the life we lead, the passions and the greed of men could bring us to ruin, and there was nothing we could do.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “I had gone everywhere before her; trodden the paths I sent her down to make sure they were safe before I let her go. How could I let her go now, to where I did not know, without me at her side?”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “I saw her weighed down in the tumultuous water not just by the iron chains in which my father had bound her but also by the terrible truth that she had sacrificed everything she knew for a love as ephemeral and transient as the rainbows that glimmered through the sea spray.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “You have power and courage, speed and skill far beyond what’s needed in this forest... And you’re better already than any warrior out there. You’re greater than any man laying claim to the name of a hero. The world should know the name Atalanta. They should see what you can do.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “I took that story with me in the coming days and turned it over, like the stone in a ripe peach: the sudden, unexpected hard shock in the centre of everything.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “It can be dangerous, though, to let a son grow up with vengeance in his heart.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “I know that human life shines more brightly because it is but a shimmering candle against an eternity of darkness, and it can be extinguished with the faintest breeze.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “More than anything, I knew that I did not want to be drawn into that circle, that I did not want to take my place amongst them and forget who I was.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “That look stamped across her face – part excitement, part dread. The way she was unable to take another step, so uncertain and exhilarated all at once. She was luminous with it.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “A fallen woman is the sweetest entertainment they know; I saw it before, in Crete. I will not let it happen to me.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “My story would not be one of death and suffering and sacrifice. I would take my own place in the songs that would be sung about Theseus: the princess who saved him and ended the monstrosity that blighted Crete.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “Where there was evil, he routed it rather than weighed it up to see how he could turn it to his own advantage. Where there was terror and darkness, he vanquished it and flooded the world with searing light.”
