[edit] Preface to What Maidens Loth

Zeus and his family can no longer rely on offerings and sacrifices for their daily bread and have resorted to running a travel agency.

    Nine daughters of Zeus, the muses, conduct excursion parties around the Greek islands. It is on one of these excursions that Simon, a bookshop assistant on a package holiday to Crete, falls in love with Polyhymnia.

    This novel has been professionally inspired by the leading experts in the field.
