A collection of contemporary psychological short story allegories of ancient Greek mythology, the title story being a reimagining of the tragic romance of Orpheus ad Eurydice.  From the back of the book: “A very personal and humourous interpretation of the ancient myths, seen through the eyes of a thoroughly modern woman, as she identifies with the gods and goddesses.  An excitingly original and beautifully written tour de force, revealing extraordinary psychological insights”.    First published in 1995 by the small, specialist publisher Open Press, the volume has been out of print for decades and is now very hard to find.
