Discussion of "The Sons of Mighty Herkales: Tigasis vs The Hydra (Chapter 5: The Temptations)" by hebe6405

Athena! Hera! Artemis! Oh my!

I would not want to be in his shoes at all. Loved the chapter.
I had always assumed that Adrinna was turned into the horse; now, I'm wondering: is the horse Callisti.

You left it very open for WWB to conclude this. Overall, Excellent Job!

I, like WBS, assumed that Adrinna was the horse. However, going back to the previous chapter, it's never stated outright, so there's nothing wrong with your interpretation. And I rather liked the interaction between Tigasis and Adrinna - her clumsy attempt to seduce him and his outright rejection. This one's got brains to go with his brawn, eh?

Loved the appearance of Athena, as well as her meddling with Hera's plan. That's the fun part of the Olympiad mythologies - the gods always stick their noses into each others' plans to see what they can do to screw them up.

Great addition! I'm looking forward to finding out what those other 'gifts' are!

And I never even gave it a moment's thought that Hera shape-changed anyone into a horse... but now I can see the double entendre from Nash's chapter: "That mare has never been ridden by a man." Here I thought if it smelled like a horse and snorted like a horse, it was a horse. :P

It's okay, hebe - the clues were pretty low-key, like the golden mane of the mare, the way she charged in and attacked as if to keep Tigasis away from the "old woman", and yes, the double entendre there. But like I said, it's easy enough to see the other way, as well, and I rather like the way you used Adrinna in this chapter. You also left it open for WWB to use her more, too!
