My main character, Antigonus, was an old meddler in the play "The Winter's Tale", who was last seen being chased by a bear (and presumably killed by the bear).
Nemea (my Lion) is a reference from Hamlet, when Hamlet refers to something "As hardy as the Nemean Lion's roar". This refers to the first labor for the hero Heracles, which was to rid the Nemean plain of the wild, enormous and extremely ferocious beast known as the Nemean Lion. Hamlet is referring to the fact that his compulsion to follow his father's ghost is as strong as the Lion.
For me, the fun was to find characters or references (or to use ones I already knew and pass the information onto others). |
