Synopsis

Go on a mini odyssey with this book through various Grecian myths and legends about powerful Gods and heroes. Apollo’s Playbook is a collection of poetry aimed at those who love stories and mythologies and would love to discover more of it. This book combines ancient themes and archetypes with modern day issues and experiences. It alternates between retelling old myths and poems inspired by these timeless stories. Go on a trek along the river Styx with Orpheus and Eurydice, defy Demeter with Persephone, find Atlas’ strength in yourself, run for your freedom with Atalanta, and punish Narcissus as the Goddess of retribution.
