I began these 9 way way back in the 80's. I have always been intrigued by Mythology, I like Robert Graves
take on myths, he says they are rooted in real events in history. I like that similar myths occur around the world,
that the myth of Orpheus has echoes in the suitably named Cherokee Orpheus myth.
Every January I say I will just finish the  unresolved areas of 3 of these - maybe this coming January I will do it..
