Arrogance: A Greek Mythology Gay Retelling (Book 2 of the Mythologay Series) Kindle Edition

by B.J. Irons (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 19 ratings

Jealousy, enmity, revenge, and, above all else, arrogance, is a recurring theme among Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, and Adonis. It’s a wonder that the “A” in their names doesn’t stand for arrogance.

Aphrodite’s love for the handsome Adonis clouds her judgment. Bitterness stirs within her when she becomes aware of Apollo and Adonis’ affection for each other. Artemis also feels disgraced by the relationship between the God and male mortal. All of their lives become entangled with endless drama and devious plots each makes on one another.

Arrogance is a retelling of the many classic Greek Mythological tales we’ve come to grow and love.

Which of these Gods will come out on top? Let the drama unfold.

Aphrodite: The Vengeful One

Will show her wrath to anyone who wrongs her

Apollo: The Vigorous One

Will use his power to get whatever he desires

Artemis: The Apprehensive One

Will cast shame on those who don’t follow her beliefs

Adonis: The Irresistible One

Will seduce anyone to get his way

Begin the Mythologay series with book 1 - Meduso

Venomous snakes for hair. A glare that will cast people to stone.

It’s a safe assumption that we all know the basic facts of one of Greek Mythology’s most famous monsters, Medusa.

But the thing with Greek Mythology is just that. They are myths. What if some aspects of these myths have been altered? What if the monster wasn’t really a monster at all? What if her name was Meduso? And what if she was a he?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant and riveting

    REVIEW ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Arrogance by B J Irons is the second book in the bestselling Mythologay Series. This time he takes an assortment of classic Greek Mythological tales and weave a single story of passion, jealousy, treachery and revenge. Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis and Adonis will stop at nothing to get what they want. Aphrodite seeks the love of the handsome Adonis, but becomes set on revenge when Adonis find love in the arms of Apollo. Artemis does not approve of relations between God and mortal and vows to separate the two. The story is full of dramatic entanglements and devious plots as each of them battle for satisfaction. ⠀
    ⠀
    Arrogance is a blend of superb storytelling and impeccable research. These tales of God and Goddesses have been painstakingly crafted into one brilliant and riveting story. The author manages to capture the essence of each distinctly unique character and illuminates their tragic flaws alongside of the attributes for which they are famous. The prose are engaging and will captivate the reader whether they are novice or scholar. This is definitely my favorite of the series thus far, and I wait with anticipation to see what B J Irons has in store for the Orpheus retelling. ⠀

    3.0 out of 5 stars A compelling tale
    Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2022

    Arrogance is a trait of many and this book weaves together that trait in two goddesses, one god, and a mortal. The Greeks are famous for their tragic myths. This isn’t precisely a retelling, but it does weave several myths that surround each of the characters together into a narrative that is plausible. I have to say I’m impressed with the author’s ingenuity when it comes to adding the gay elements to these myths.

    What I’m not impressed by is the writing… Again. If he used an editor, they failed him greatly. There are more sentences that are worded oddly or worded entirely wrong than any book should have. There are sentences where the wrong word entirely completely derails whatever is being talked about or described. As with the previous book, there is a great deal of telling vs showing. The dialogue is stilted and has an unnatural flow. Some of that is due to the odd sentences and poor word choice. Some is simply showcasing that no one bothered to help the author improve it. Much of the dialogue feels forced rather than like natural conversation.

    The story is still interesting and I would suggest reading it if you like Greek myths.

    I received a copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily writing a review.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating Greek Myth Retelling
    Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2022
    While I enjoyed Meduso, I think Arrogance may actually be even better. I absolutely love myth retellings, especially when the Greek Gods are involved, and BJ Irons definitely delivers in this one. It's from the POV of Aphrodite, Artemis, Apollo, and Adonis. These people are out for themselves and Arrogance is quite an appropriate title. It's like combining the best of day time drama with the well written story telling powers that Irons has to give us an incredibly entertaining ride as we watch what we know will end in disaster. For it being a retelling, I felt that it stayed pretty true to the myth stories! You don't have to have read Meduso as these are both very much stand alone stories. However, if you're really into Greek Myths, I think this series is not to be missed!

    2.0 out of 5 stars Attention holding?
    Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2024
    Lacks dialogue. The endless monologue does not hold attention. The characters need development through dialogue. It is an interpretation of a fantasy of Greek origin. Take the liberty of letting the characters speak and interact through speech and they become more interesting. A third of the way through by stubbornness and hopefulness. Enough.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2022
    This is a very enjoyable and entertaining story. I like the way the author took several mythological stories and characters, mixed them together, and created his own alternative mythologay story. It was fun and engaging and I look forward to more in this series.

    I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Hooked!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2022
    I have enjoyed this series from the start! How the author retells the Greek mythology with a twist is nothing like I have read before. I have read several retellings over the years and this is among my favorites so far. So many emotions through this book. Love, Hate and Betrayal all in one hot retelling. Rates high on the spice scale and please check TW before reading. This series has its hooks on me so far. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
