Inside the archive

Myths and Legends, Retold

Four storytellers, one shared archive, and a way of researching tales that hasn't changed much in eleven years of digging through old books and older rumors.

How it started

It began with one old book

Pegasus Tastyhoney Temple started with a single battered folklore anthology found in a secondhand shop, and a notebook full of half-translated legends that mostly went nowhere.

The archive is bigger now and the shelves are properly ours, but each story is still traced one source at a time, by writers who put their name to what they publish.

We publish a little less than we could. It keeps the research honest and the retellings true to their roots.

If a legend leaves our desk and we wouldn't tell it ourselves around a fire, it doesn't leave at all.

Sources

Legends, art and ancient texts

We draw from archives we've actually visited and old books we've read cover to cover, never secondhand summaries.

Fragments of forgotten tales feed into shorter pieces, and every translation is worked from the original text rather than borrowed from someone else's version.
