Myth-ing Persons

The way mythic figures are portrayed with such wit is brilliant. I wonder what inspired the author to take this humorous approach to myth?

The comedic tone really lightened some of the more fantastical scenes. Am I the only one who appreciated the humor as a way to connect with the mythic characters?

This twist on classic myth figures felt fresh and clever. I'm curious whether this concept came from a particular myth or just the author's playful imagination.
