AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Ea, master of Apsu, the great water beneath the earth; Gelert, the faithful hound; Medusa and Herakles; sirens, valkyries, fairies; Leonardo Da Vinci and Snow White - these are just some of the legendary characters that resonate within this thought-provoking garland of short stories from Australia. Archetypes from ancient mythology, lurking in the depths of our psyches, peer at us through the haze of history; cautionary tales from our nursery years remind us of what can happen when we disobey The Rules; well known themes of obsession, betrayal and exploitation, love and loss and renewal are skillfully manipulated into new and compelling forms. From the lighthearted and tongue-in-cheek, to the sad and the sinister, this selection of tales with their clever mythic echoes, is sure to entertain, enlighten and challenge readers of all ages.'

The Salted Heart, Nike Sulway , single work short story fantasy

'In Akkadian mythology, Ea was, among other things, the god of sea and lake waters, crafts and writing, and ruled over Apsu, the great water, sometimes described as groundwater, or the water beneath the earth. In 'The Salted Heart', the mythical and the mundane, the past and the present, intertwine and merge as an ancient tale of conquest, betrayal and love is revealed and interpreted through modern archaeological and linguistic methodologies and played out to its conclusion. Or is it?'
