A Dramatic Version of Greek Myths and Hero Tales, by Fanny Amanda Comstock (1854 - )
This is a collection of 25 short plays, each covering a different Greek myth or tale. From the famous epics such as Theseus' journey to slay the Minotaur or Jason's foray to obtain the Golden Fleece, to lesser known stories such as Arion's struggles with greedy sailors or Latona's woes with rude locals. From foundational myths like the unleashing of evil's into the world with Pandora's box or the abduction of Proserpina that led to the world's changing seasons, to tales of Perseus' various travels saving princesses and slaying gorgons. From stories of tragic love such as Orpheus' doomed quest to save his lost love Eurydice or the sea separating Halcyone from her husband Ceyx, to more hopeful tales like the perseverance of Psyche to reunite with Cupid or the enduring love of Philemon and Baucis. And many more! See the downfalls of pride, the rewards of determination, the wrath of the gods and cleverness of humanity, and all in nice digestible chunks of a one-act play format.
Note: this text came with a pronunciation index, attempts were made to follow it to stay true to the desires of the author but many are now known to be incorrect

Cool project. I'd love to do the PL for the first five plays: Pandora, Daphne, Io, Latona, Phaethon

You are welcome to! :thumbs: I assume you mean as DPL for both parts and final but let me know if you meant something else and I'll change my post

MW ready for you to set up.

This will be fun.

Thanks, Todd

Hi Inkell
Glad to see you launch this, brave decision :lol:

Shall I DPL the last 5 plays, Theseus, Daedalus, Alcestis, Orpheus and Arion.

I will read some parts in other plays.

Can I start by claiming:
Jupiter in Pandora
Bacchus in Midas and Bacchus
Pluto in Proserpina

As this is a big source text to navigate around you could look at ways of providing separate texts for each play. I am sure others could advise you on how best to do this.

Easiest way I know is to put the page number in the notes column for each play.

Thanks, Todd

Hey Alan! I will gladly accept you as DPL for five plays, however some of the roles you wanted clash with these. If you want to be a character with multiple appearances you get all plays with him so you can't be Jupiter and Pluto as they are in the same play as well as some of the plays you wanted to DPL. I waited on replying to you so I could finish the MW so it should be easier to tell hopefully what clashes. Have another look over and let me which plays you'd like to DPL and which characters. I will add page numbers in the notes as Todd suggests if you think it will be helpful, since people also seem to like the pick five plays too DPL idea I will add a table of contents like the one act plays have to note who is DPL for what and see if I can link to the specific pages

As they do not overlap you can definitely do that, and thank you for this awesome suggestion! :thumbs:

Hi Inkell
If you want the same reader for a character in all the plays they are in I would like to read Jupiter in all his 6 plays. I will not claim Pluto or Bacchus.
As I cannot now PL Alcestis I will take Jason instead. So I will DPL Jason, Theseus, Daedalus, Orpheus, Arion
