Review: 2020.073 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: There are plenty of laughs as we recognize heroes from the Greek myths in unflattering scenes. Like learning Icarus gave Eurydice chlamydia. Or that Zeus’s ex-wife had a long history of turning his girlfriends into cows, so Eurydice lived in fear of horns for a while.
Con: It gets serious at the end, but I’m not sure what it’s supposed to mean.
