As Seth's apprentice, I've learned wisdom of which you've never dreamed.
You three have done quite enough today: all of you and your feckless, treacherous god.
And personally, I've lost my thirst for vengeance.
When I write what publishers call 'fantasy' I am writing in what I think is the most important tradition of fiction: starting with Homer and up through Shakespeare and Milton, the most important themes to tackle are those of the mythopoeic domain, tales of the body and mind seen through a temperament and a cosmos divorced from current reality so what is said can be more clear.

I want to live like a man.
I'm reverent from a distance.
It is upon each soul to recognize its limit.
Each soul has its appointed doom. How is it you dare to raise a mortal boy so high - high enough to flout the gods? Bring godhead where a man may reach out and take it? growls Enlil, and lightning splits a clear blue sky.
