Autobiography of red sparknotes scarlet witch

Scarlet witch powers

The work is ultimately a prequel to the mythic story of the relationship between the murdered monster Geryon and the hero who killed him Herakles here, more commonly known as Hercules. At the same time, the narrative and its imagery also explore thematic issues relating to the power of feelings, being different, and the significance of chance encounters.

The book begins with an academically toned, somewhat fictionalized analysis of how the poet Stesichoros, writing in Ancient Greece shortly after the time of the narrative poet Homer, evolved the use of language in poetry. The narrative then moves forward several years, to a point at which Geryon is in his early twenties.

For his part, Geryon becomes friends with Ancash while fighting his lingering attraction and desire for Herakles. Eventually, Geryon finds himself unable to fight any longer, and falls back into a sexual relationship with Herakles. Ancash finds out and becomes angry, but stays in the relationship with Herakles.
