This is a modern cover of a Greek myth ala Netflix’s Kaos. I have never seen Netflix’s version, but I understand that it covers Orpheus and Eurydike. Mine is based on Artemis and Orion. I also threw in the myth of Kallisto because I’m addicted to happy endings. I buried some Easter eggs for any mythology nerds, and for you grammar Nazis – I am using the Greek spelling of Kallisto’s name. I know that NASA calls her Callisto. I hope you enjoy this little story as much as I did writing it.
