Tales from Ovid

Modern reinterpretations of the classic stories from Greek mythology.

  1. 2

    Phaethon and the Chariot of the Sun

    A boy named Phaethon has always believed his father is the sun god. But when his friends mock him, demanding proof, a seed of doubt takes root. He journeys to the edge of the world to find the truth — and finds it, in a palace too vast for any mortal, attended by a father who has watched him from afar every day of his life.Helios is overjoyed. He offers his son anything he wants. But the only thing Phaethon wants is the one thing that will destroy him: to drive his father's chariot across the sky.This is a story about what we'll risk to prove ourselves, about promises we can't take back, and about a father who learns too late that presence — not grand gestures — is the only gift that matters.

  2. 1

    Echo & Narcissus

    Echo talks too much. Born unremarkable among beautiful sisters, she discovered that words could make people pay attention—and she's been filling every silence since, desperate to matter. When Zeus asks her to distract his jealous wife Hera with gossip, Echo leaps at the chance. What could go wrong?Narcissus is so beautiful that everyone who sees him falls instantly in love. But to him, their desire feels like blindness—they see his face, never him. So he's built walls of ice around his heart, rejecting every suitor, until his soul has faded to a shadow that hardly knows its own name.When these two wounded people meet, it should be a disaster. And it is. But something unexpected happens in the aftermath—something that transforms a story about vanity and obsession into something stranger and more hopeful: a meditation on what it really means to listen, to love, and to let go.
