Jennifer Saint Quote: “Her eyes locked on to mine. I had thought they would be green, like the cold reptilian flesh that wriggled from her scalp. But they were blue: a cloudless sky, a calm ocean. An ever-replenishing well of sorrow; a sapphire melancholy of surprising gentleness.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “Just as you will never lose me, you will never lose your crown. Your coronet will guide sailors to safety through the labyrinth of the treacherous seas. Women will look to it for a sign of comfort, a light in the darkness. Children will whisper their wishes to it before they close their eyes to dream. It will stay there, fast and true, for all time.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “Hera didn’t escape her father only to find herself in her mother’s role.”
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: “I would be Medusa, if it came to it, I resolved.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “A hero would not shrink from his destiny, he would not sneak from his dungeon and flee the fight. His name wouldn’t ring through the ages for that.”
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: “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: “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: “He was that impossibly rare thing – a man who was exactly who he presented himself to be.”
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: “Every day, for months now, I have dreamed of running away with Hippolytus. Why did I, Phaedra of Knossos and Athens, put my faith in a man? When I should have seen that what I truly wanted was simply to run away.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “No longer was my world one of brave heroes; I was learning all too swiftly the women’s pain that throbbed unspoken through the tales of their feats.”
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: “I was simply so tired. I felt like I no longer knew who I was. The competent queen who had juggled the needs of the city so expertly was now a slave to the relentless wailing from the crib.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “I watched the fire spark into the night sky and wondered where she could be. Making her way down that dank, twisting path to the Underworld alone? 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 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: “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: “The gods do not know love, because they cannot imagine an end to anything they enjoy. Their passions do not burn brightly as a mortal’s passions do, because they can have whatever they desire for the rest of eternity. How could they cherish or treasure anything? Nothing to them is more than a passing amusement, and when they have done with it, there will be another.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “A world under the rule of benevolent goddesses, instead of power-hungry gods.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “I stayed silent. I realised that when I had seen all those suitors clamour in the hall for Helen, I had believed they were there because they loved her, but I had been wrong. They hated her. They hated her because she was so beautiful and because she made them want her so much. Nothing brought them more joy than the fall of a lovely woman. They picked over her reputation like vultures, scavenging for every scrap of flesh they could devour.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “How they would exult in my disgrace. A fallen woman is the sweetest entertainment they know;.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “I had fallen asleep in his arms and woken to cold ashes, a desolate dawn.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “If you had anything that made you proud, that elevated you above your mortal fellows, it seemed to me that the gods would find delight in smashing it to smithereens.”
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: “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: “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: “If Dionysus came to punish me, there was nothing I could do. I could die whimpering or I could face my fate with the courage of all those women before me.”
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: “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: “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: “But the world has been divided up, and she isn’t sure which realm she can have for herself. The only one offered to her is wifehood, and she doesn’t want it.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “Every word I speak is unwelcome. My throat is raw from the words that are torn from me when I touch someone, when I look into their eyes and see the blinding white truth.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “All she knows is that he leaves a trail of broken women in his wake, and she is the most broken of them all.”
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: “I had felt the grip of his immortal hands on me. I had felt the burn of his venom in my mouth. The memory of it flowed in my bloodstream; the echo of his touch imprinted on my skin; the visions he had given me flickered and twisted in my head, all of them fighting for supremacy, never settling into one clear picture.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “Feeling like the last two people in the world was thrilling; feeling like the only one was terrifying.”
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: “The world beyond was such an alien place; I was learning every day how different it was. And maybe I was different, too.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “No one intervened to try to stop me from becoming what I became.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “I wonder if the heroes the bards sang of that evening knew before they triumphed what they would become. In those crucial moments when a fateful decision was made, did they feel the air brighten with the zing of destiny? Or did they blunder on, not realising the pivotal moment in which destiny swung and the fates were forged?”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “What the gods 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, the deep, primal taste of it when we raised the knife above the sacrificial offering. Our fear. That was how the gods grew great.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “I held Medusa’s image in my head, calming my deep ragged breaths. Her snakes hissed and spat and contorted about her head, striking fear into the hearts of so-called heroes as they cringed away. I could be the same. My rage would be my shield.”
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: “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: “Hera thinks of the maternal line: Gaia, Rhea and now Hera. The goddess who created the world, the goddess who nurtured it and the goddess who will protect it. But stronger than that line is its dark twin: Ouranos, Cronus and Zeus, who only care for what they can take.”
Jennifer Saint Quote: “Jason thought the world was built for heroes. I knew we had to build it ourselves.”
