This is a great description, Charles. “Observing from his sphere of high grandiose, a reality of true, unadulterated strength and growth, the divine being watched as the elf languished in the dungeon, having absorbed all knowledge of the elf’s past, present, and was currently planning his future. “ Something about it really captures the reality of human condition.
I wanted to write it as if a eldritch horror was watching an ant from birth to adulthood inside of a ant-farm. Something that was both personal yet sterile in its estimation of worth. This is intended to be a lore explanation for my further writing of this world.
I like Greek myths. I’m curious, why do you think we like Greek myths so much—even after all these years? There are so many more stories out there now, why have they stuck so?
Honestly, I think it has more to do with them being more widely published, and being able to be enjoyed and analyzed without the stigma of them being apart of a modern religion. If the greeks still worshipped Zeus we'd have the same reaction to them as others do the mythology and stories from the Bible.

I love world creation. There’s something there on the birth to adulthood arc—would be great if spun the right way.
I agree. Howevee this is more meant as a mythological tale for the world I am writing about. Its supposed to be akin to Heracles in Greek Myths.
