Achilles on Skyros

Comments

That works. Let's go with that!

Don't desperate! 🙂. Let's say it is not Pyrrha but another girl living in the palace. Maybe her butterfly mentor 🦋 ?

I was worried someone would call me out on that! I spent hours trying to create the red-gold hair I had envisioned, but it never looked right, so I finally gave up and just went with the black hair. My failure to create red gold hair will haunt my days!

About the cover: it's nice, but who is this girl? It's not Pyrrha, who has gold red hair.

I agree 100% with CallSignElle's comment. I particularly like the part when Achilles wonder how it would feel to be a girl, 'free to giggle and laugh, to sing and dance.'

Thanks so much! I always feel good to know readers enjoy a certain story. It was fun to write.

I think this is in your top three stories, with my only criticism being that we didn't get enough time with Achilles after he got married. I own it on Amazon and reread every few months. It's excellent.

Thank you for commenting, especially on the new cover. I almost just used the old one, but I felt like it needed freshening. With Hercules cruising along, it seemed like a good time to reprint this one for people to discover or rediscover.

Oh, I remember buying this story and being very enraptured at the details regarding Achilles' mental changes, how it came so easily and so naturally and how it felt like it went without much prompting. It was even foreshadowed earlier in the story, which added to the fun of it later. Great story, and the new cover art looks nice.
