Hunger in the Myths
(2025)Tales of Defiance, Devotion, and Hunger
A collection of stories by Kate Seger
The poets called them monsters.
The priests called them lessons.
But this is not their version.
Hunger in the Myths begins with a boy who flew too close to the sun—
and follows four women who refused to fall quietly.
Icarus, who mistook freedom for salvation.
Medea, who burns what the world denies her.
Medusa, who prays for mercy and becomes the thing she feared.
Iphigenia, who meets her gods and finds she no longer needs them.
Arachne, who spins endurance into art that will not fade.
Their hunger is not for power, but for meaning, mercy, and remembrance—
for a world that will name them something other than warning.
Told in lyrical prose and written like confession, Hunger in the Myths transforms punishment into prayer and silence into survival.
Genre: Fantasy
