After all, throughout history and still today, plenty of people without any evidence have believed they've seen gods at work. It's natural to assume that coincidence and natural occurrences are the gods in action in a story that traditionally includes gods interacting with humans. It's not what I, as the author, intend. But I'd be pretty foolish if I thought I could control readers' reactions.ericshanowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08879686211456482942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930190065426288711.post-26356292318713570002011-01-19T14:37:31.871-08:002011-01-19T14:37:31.871-08:00In the words of the internets: this is relevant to...In the words of the internets: this is relevant to my interests. <br /><br /><br />The ineteresitng thng about Age of Bronze is while it's abundantly clear from his author notes that Eric wants to leave the supernatural elements out via death of the author when I first read it before reading said notes I just thought it was meant to be more sublte.<br /><br />Storms still appeared when people prayed for them, sacrifices made to the gods cause the winds to return... <br /><br />When I read volume 2 I thought Iphignia's fate was meant to be ambiguous and that Klytemnestra's disbelief in Odysseus story was meant to provide her grounds for her actions during the Myceanaen saga's continuation after the Trojan War ends.<br /><br />In fact having read volume 2 first I was suprised when I picked up volume 1 and see that Cheiron wasn't an actual Centaur... there had been nothing which made me say, "hey the gods aren't in this story" until I read Eric's notes.<br /><br />And when I read it I still see the gods in the background, even knowing what Eric intends... just because thats how my mind works.Ozalinehttp://outofthefridge.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
