"Irene---"

"Don't call me that."

"You were the princess Irene the first time we met."

"It means 'peace,'" Attolia said. "What name could be more inappropriate?"

"That I be named Helen?" Eddis suggested.

The hard lines in Attolia's face eased, and she smiled. Eddis was a far cry from the woman whose beauty has started a war.

-The Queen of Attolia, Megan Whalen Turner

Revisiting the Iliad made me think of this exchange with the most important Helen of my heart. One thing I love about the Queen's Thief is how MWT threaded in these sparing links to existing mythology, so that even though all the pantheons and legends are made up, the story is placed in a greater context. It makes the worldbuilding feel so huge and real even while the struggles are intimate and contained.

In honor of the QT merch drop I want to share another patch I made because I love these books more than I can handle.

Hamiathes’s Gift the way I imagined it with the help of a geology degree and the letters on the third(?) edition of The Thief.

Sadly, Gen didn't win the Unreliable Narrator poll. In fairness, he had a steep battle against Lemony Snicket, who I imagine is more broadly familiar to readers (something something conflating quirkily convoluted storytelling with intentional unreliability something something WHATEVER). Also, it's always been Gen's strategy to never show his full hand (HA), so maybe he prefers not winning, to keep folks underestimating him.

Anyway, I was reminded I've had this piece sitting in my folder for a while, so here are two absolutely reliable narrators who are frequently rendered unreliable by their proximity to Gen. Sophos would hardcore get a tattoo after marrying Helen, and she would add one to match--it's a pinecone and an olive branch!

Here’s my take on an aged up Gen!

"My father said, 'Your uncle is dead.' The magus said, 'You are Sounis.'"

He paused in his narration, rubbing his temple. He looked tired, weary, more so than his travails accounted for, a responsibility others had killed for yet he had never wanted upon him.

Helen had been younger than him, but only by a few years. She had had, and still did, the support of all her large extended family, all her barons and nobles. Sophos - Sounis - had nearly none of that.

He spoke again, his voice an anguished whisper. "I should have stayed in Hanaktos and built walls."
