Susan a Chadwick

Journey to Eleusis: a Metaphorical Monomyth Susan a Chadwick

The first story in this collection of mythical tales was written about a Stranger that Echo, the narrator, met in the ashes, smoke and remains of the fallen twin towers after 9/11. The last story, written 10 years later, is about two separate human beings, The Prisoner and The Pythia, who met on the road to Eleusis to learn to travel together. It is a mystical, ethereal and cathartic collection of tales that trace a path through the depths of human despair, self-examination and the transformational path from sorrow to peace, and beyond, to a sacred union.
