Una delle storie d'amore più struggenti di sempre raccontata in rima. Orfeo, il mitico cantore che incantava qualsiasi cosa o creatura con la potenza della sua musica, sfiderà con essa il regno dei morti "infettandolo di vita". Tutto ciò per riportare alla luce la sua amata Euridice, morta per il morso di un serpente. Un viaggio dunque nell'ignoto che sfocerà nelle proprie emozioni e nelle proprie paure. Non si sarebbe dovuto voltare durante la risalita alla vita, non avrebbe dovuto guardare Euridice in volto se non dopo esser giunti in superficie.

One of the foremost achievements in Western literature, Homer's Iliad tells the story of the darkest episode in the Trojan War. At its center is Achilles, the greatest warrior-champion of the Greeks, and his refusal to fight after being humiliated by his leader, Agamemnon.

Of the two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer, The Odyssey serves to some extent as a sequel to The Iliad. The poem describes the journey home of Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, after the fall of Troy. In the Greek sources, the Trojan War lasted 10 years, and Odysseus spent 10 more years on the return journey due to the hostility of Poseidon, the god of earth and sea. Odysseus' fantastical adventures include a period of captivity on Calypso’s island, a visit to the lethargic lotus eaters, an encounter with a one-eyed Cyclops, and more.

But the gods order him to leave for Italy. In despair, Dido commits suicide. Upon finally reaching Italy, Aeneas goes down into the lower world and learns about his future descendants, the Romans.

Kara is not hero material. She trips. She panics. She makes terrible decisions. But when the Vanaheim System chooses her as its Champion in a multiversal arena where realms invest resources into mortal warriors, something unexpected happens. She survives. In a progression fantasy where divine beings at the Table wager worlds, champions are meant to be optimized, disciplined, and lethal. Kara is none of those things. She is statistically impossible.
