I love it.

I wonder if you have a take on a choice of Homer's English translation?

> “Every life is many days, day after day,” Stephen Dedalus says during his extended lecture on Hamlet. “We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love, but always meeting ourselves.”

This made me think of your Necessary Monsters series.

Yes, that's exactly what it's about. What Jung would call the collective unconscious, populated by the archetypes that keep returning in different guises.
