Those overlooked: a short fiction collection of world myths

Mythologies are stories that create a backbone for cultures to stand on. These are the stories that cultures tell about themselves, the things that they interact with and about being human. These cultures and their stories change and evolve throughout time, and although some are forgotten or buried, most are never truly lost. The change in these stories bring different versions and new characters to the forefront when different people use the story as a way to communicate their own human experiences and different ideas of the world. Plenty of characters appear in mythologies with uncertain endings, little recognition, or as half-baked heroes. This is a collection of ten fiction stories that will hopefully spotlight some characters that an audience would not be overly-familiar with and bring them to life with an eye for engaging storytelling and incorporation of cultural and mythological research. The intended audience for this project is the adolescents of the United States of America to spark interest in mythology. The focus is on education through entertainment and these stories are told in a way to provoke deep-thinking.
