eros feministretelling greek greekmythology greekmyths psyche psycheanderos retelling

A short feminist retelling of the Greek myth of Psyche and Eros. 

I wrote this story for my dissertation in my third year of a Creative and Professional Writing course. It's finally been marked and I couldn't wait to share it with you guys - I had so much fun writing it (for the most part) ! My (maybe controversial) thought process was that in writing from Psyche's point of view it makes the piece intrinsically feminist.

If anyone has any thoughts about how I could continue or rewrite this please feel free to comment or message, I'm really open to any ideas!

Enjoy, and let me know what you think:)

MYTH-TAKEN IDENTITY - a 2025 ONC novella by StephRose1201

An introverted, recluse gamer accidentally finds out she's the reincarnation of a Greek god/goddess, and is stuck in a world-altering time-loop until she figures out WHICH god/goddess she's destined to become. ***** Ophelia Jones is...well, she's nothing. She asks for nothing. She WANTS nothing. Just to stay in her dark basement-apartment, do her mindless data-entering job by day, play video games by night. She refuses to participate in a real social life, and won't read the news or be active in the LGTBQIA+ scene that she belongs in. No, Ophelia is done giving a sh**. She'd rather live in her fantasy world, ignoring the real world around her. That is, until a mysterious puddle surfaces in her backyard, and she jokingly wonders if it'll be a portal to another world, someplace better - and she falls into it. Oh, she's transported to a new world, all right -- but not a parallel world or an alternate universe. She's transported to the past; into mythology, specifically. Greek mythology, to be even more exact. Because according to Alfie, her "spiritual guide", she's a reincarnated god or goddess, and has to figure out who. Problem? SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT GREEK MYTHOLOGY. ONC prompts 37 + 5

From Geneology to war - A compendium of Greek Mythology by AsterSxh368

A helpful guide to Greek mythology including the primordials, titans, gods, goddesses, monsters, heroes and more! Things to note about this story is that since I'm writing about real historical mythology, there is of course many, many, different variations, retellings and plots in existence for each one of the myths so I will do my best to comment on and add in variations when necessary, though in some cases I may just stick with the most common, my favorite or the most historically accurate depictions! "If this is just the original myths can't I just go on Theoi?" Well I try to recount all of the myths in an accurate but easy to understand way, which is quite difficult other places, though if you have any questions about anything, please just ask!!

Psyche's Trials by DominiqueWren

The story of Eros and Psyche

Cupid and Psyche |Lesbian Version| by Svetaivanova

Once there was a king and a queen with three lovely daughters. The youngest, Psyche, was so beautiful, so fair of face and form that she was revered throughout the land, and the people of her kingdom reached out to touch her as she passed. No suitors dared to cross her doorstep. So highly was she worshiped that Psyche was deeply lonely. Her beauty became legend, far and wide, and it was not long before words reached the ears of Venus. Tales of the young princess enraged the jealous goddess, and she made plans to dispose of her. Venus called upon her own daughter, Cupid to do her bidding. It was meant to be a quick mission except Cupid did not expect to find herself entranced by the same passion she inflicted on others. |Lesbian retelling of the Roman Mythology|

A Wayward Arrow by AmbrosePeters

A story of love, lust, and the soul. In all his years, he had done the bidding of the gods. Made matches of lust and love for whichever maiden or man or god or whichever tide of fate that one so wanted. Never had he ever shot an arrow for himself, nor had he taken anyone as his own beyond that of his bed chambers. It was always for someone else. Not that he minded. What would the God of lust do with someone once he had his fill of them? In his palace, enchanted with maids and servants, the son of Aphrodite and Ares, Eros wanted for nothing because no God, not even the mighty Zeus, dared cross him. Even the god that others feared still did not like to upset his mother or disobey her. That was till he saw Psyche and accidentally felt the full effect of his own arrow. New chapters every Tuesday and Fridays!

They all dreaded him, as none wanted to end up alone like him, but one day a mortal man named Sisyphus managed to capture him. He chained and locked Hades inside a pouch, leaving him to rot between his demons and his true love. Persephone was there heartbroken and fitted into his throne instead.
