House of the Muses #3

Winner of the 2008 Prism Comics Queer Press Grant for outstanding writing and storytelling

The god Poseidon takes a hand in Dika’s fate and delivers the grievously-injured girl to the island of Lesbos, where a group of women carries her to safety upon a shield. As the Pythia of Delphi predicted, Dika’s abilities as an oracle manifest. While she lies unconscious, she is beset by a series of visions from the distant past. On her recovery, Dika seems lost, moody and haunted. When asked about what ordeals she endured in those days after she disappeared from Athens, she swears that she cannot remember. Then Timas introduces her to Mika.

A tale from ancient history, compiled from the writings of a Greek poet and her friend. But in “The House of the Muses,” you’ll read it through the modern media we know as the Graphic Novel. And the poet is Sappho, so it’s no surprise that passion is as omnipresent as the power politics of slave ownership and family intrigues. House of the Muses: The Latter Days of Sappho of Lesbos introduces us to Mnasidika of Sparta, a girl with a stolen destiny, and how she made her journey to Lesbos. At the end of her adventures, she would write the one poem that the legendary Poetess of Mytilene would safeguard among her treasured works forever.
