Miséricorde: Ancient Greeks Ignored

By Matthew Zucca

"I will tell you a story of Ithaca as might be seen from Hades." - Calypso

A misericorde is used to end the suffering of dying combatants.

In four interlocking retellings, mercy is systematically removed from ancient Greek stories by asking:

What if Odysseus doesn't return?
What if Elektra isn't virtuous?
What if Socrates is a fraud?
What if Bacchus can't be appeased?

This is a negative argument: a trap for God built from lies, vengeance, satire, and ecstasy.

An autopsy of a world stripped of mercy.
