A PLAGUE OF GODS reimagines nine classical myths and the Epic of Gilgamesh as stories set in the early months of the SARS-CoV-2 global pandemic. These stories are not retellings of the old myths, rather, each story contains an essence of the original, offering a mythic framework for this profoundly strange and anxious time. With one exception, they are told from the point of view of women who, in the original myths, were reduced to the roles of goddesses, monsters, or beautiful maidens. Take Medusa, Arachne, Echo, Gilgamesh, and others out of their ancient settings and see what they might have to say. The themes are eternal: hope, struggle, isolation, confusion, longing, pride, misunderstanding, rage, and death. Everything is changed, and yet, nothing is.
