Pegasus and the Origins of Olympus

The story offers a fresh take on Greek mythology, and I'm curious whether the mythological details were heavily researched or creatively imagined.

Their bond was heartwarming and felt very real for a middle-grade audience. Were there specific experiences or stories that shaped this relationship?

The story was exciting but also light and fun — I wonder if that was a conscious choice to appeal to younger readers or if it evolved naturally.
