Retellings of the Inland Seas

by Athena Andreadis (Editor)

Overview

Retellings of the Inland Seas re-imagines Mediterranean and Black Sea stories, from a Minoan exodus through wormholes to Furies on Mars, from space Argonauts to Imazighen and Scythian warrior queens. Inland Seas is the editor’s tribute to her aeon-deep roots, and her effort to reclaim foundational myths that are nevertheless considered déclassé common property because of long, casual handling that has flattened their echoing depths.

Editorial Reviews

Anyone who can envision Atlantis as a doomed space-faring civilization about to be engulfed by rogue AI, or who has wondered what a bombastic, battled-hardened Odysseus would do when faced with unknown aliens while trying to escape an asteroid field, should take a look. —Sarah Rice, Booklist

The stories are universally strong and well written. There are no repeats, and the use of the source material by each of the authors is subtly different. // The stories in this anthology take classic, often familiar narratives and present them in modern forms that recapture and re-empower stories long obscured, polishing them into gems on the shore for readers to pick up and discover. —Paul Weimer, Hugo finalist SFF reviewer, Nerds of a Feather
