A Monument to the Argive King is the untold story of an aging Perseus (more correctly Pterseus, ‘the destroyer’, according to Robert Graves) still obsessed with Medusa, and is my humble attempt at Greek tragedy in short story form.

In the ancient, mythical city of Aethria, where legends and gods once walked among mortals, a unique and captivating love story unfolds. "Echoes of the Gaze" weaves a tale of two individuals who defy destiny's cruel twists, embracing the beauty within their imperfections. Medusa, the infamous Gorgon with snakes for hair, lives a secluded life in the ruins of a forgotten temple on the outskirts of Aethria. Cursed by Athena for her breathtaking beauty and the consequences of a tragic betrayal, she now bears the burden of turning anyone who gazes into her eyes into stone. Her heart aches for connection, but her curse keeps her isolated, yearning for a love she believes is unattainable. In the heart of Aethria resides Alexios, a gentle and talented musician who lost his sight in a childhood accident. Despite his blindness, he has learned to navigate the world with grace and courage, using his heightened senses of touch, sound, and intuition. His music is renowned throughout the city, captivating all who hear it. One fateful day, while wandering the ruins in search of inspiration for a new composition, Alexios stumbles upon Medusa's forgotten temple. Unbeknownst to him, he gazes in her direction, but his blindness saves him from her curse. Intrigued by the presence of another person in her desolate world, Medusa remains hidden, observing him from the shadows. As Alexios explores the temple, he discovers a beautifully sculpted statue, seemingly carved from the finest marble. He is inexplicably drawn to this life-like figure and begins to play a haunting melody on his lyre. The enchanting notes fill the temple, and Medusa, hidden behind a pillar, is captivated by the music... A.N - second book of Divine Desires :)Complete
