      At an event I had the pleasure of asking Madeline Miller (author of The Song of Achilles and Circe) how as a fiction writer you thread the needle between fidelity to the source material and its historical cultural relevance and your own interests and desires as a novelist

      Her response was pretty good I thought She told me about Zachary Mason's THE LOST BOOKS OF THE ODYSSEY, in which Penelope just straight up becomes a fucking werewolf Basically "as long as you love the source material, what you love about it will shine through in your own work"

      Hadestown is one of the best interpretations of Greek myth I've ever seen and it just does not give a shit about any kind of textual fidelity

      And, in fact, is textually faithful on a deeper level because of it Like the desire to create a parallel between the young lovers and the old married couple, especially between Persephone and Eurydice, is true to the origin of the text

      The original Orpheus of the Mysteries was in some vague sense a conqueror of death, he cucked Hades and took his wife, the name "Eurydice" is one of Persephone's epithets

      I kind of doubt that Anaïs Mitchell dove that deep into the myth's origin when writing the show but it's just resonating with the themes that are there Orpheus and Hades are enemies because they're differing visions of death, of how death could work

      (The Orphic Mysteries were a "heresy", the original Orpheus was making a claim that gods and men are of the same blood originally and Lethe was to make you forget this, to lose your awareness of reincarnation and that you too are immortal)

      (And the view that death could be defeated and that capitalism and scarcity could be defeated are, in the world we live in, closely related to each other)

      That's the whole thing, Hadestown obviously changes on every level what the myth is about, and yet it's born from this very very clear understanding of the THEME of the myth, what it's REALLY about The hero who shows the natural order of things can be challenged

      And it makes all these semi-random bits and pieces from the history of the myths actually fell like they make more sense than they did before Hades, king of the dead, is also Pluto, the god of wealth, simply because precious metals are mined from underground? Let's explore that

      Persephone, bride of the dead, was originally simply the goddess of spring and growing things, and the Rape of Persephone was invented to explain the seasons She's Dionysus' mother and one of her Roman aspects is Libera, goddess of wine (and of "freedom") Hmm

          Once I worked out the whole thing they were going with here - Hades is the boss man, the enforcer of debts and obligations, Persephone runs the company store, where you spend your excess cash on booze to numb the pain - it's really really powerful

          The "seasons" of our post-agrarian, late capitalist world are the economy When Persephone goes back underground, that's when the stock market crashes and interest rates go negative and "money is tight"
