Right, but should we flesh it out a bit
more? I don't want to write our own
version of the greek myths, but is
there anything from our characters'
histories that could be transposed into
a mythological epic tale?
For example, Baish once gave up
godhood, and Magnus & Celane have a
relationship - can we make "spun"
versions of these histories that would
translate into myths?
