    Summary

    What if fate dealt Ram a different hand—what if it wasn’t Sita but Lakshman who was whisked away by the forces of darkness? In this mind-bending twist of the Ramayana, the very heart of the epic is upended.

    Instead of the familiar quest to rescue a beloved wife, Ram is forced into a desperate search for his loyal brother, setting off a chain reaction of divine challenges, epic battles, and a redefinition of duty and destiny.

    Summary

    Dionysia is the Ramayana reflected as Orphic or Pythagorean scripture. The Universal Spirit, conceptualised as Dionysos in the Orphic religion, enters the world as Rama, Prince of Ayodhya. His destiny and purpose in incarnating is to destroy Ravana of Lanka, the Second Pentheus.

    Both Rama and Ravana are inexorably pulled towards one another, and towards their Fate. Rama realizes his divinity, loses his humanity to the god Whose incarnation he is; while Ravana undergoes a descent into madness and frenzy which mirrors that of Pentheus in the Bacchae. Sita, meanwhile, is the thread which binds them together, the Instrument of Fate.

    Dionysia is a reading of the Ramayana through the lens of Euripides. It is my answer to Valmiki, my explanation of how I read his text and why I do not always agree with what he says.

    The only answer worthy of Valmiki is a complete rewrite of his Epic. My source texts are wonders of the ancient world; I can only hope to do them justice.

    Summary

    We are but dust in the hands of Time, however strung together by rubies the scarlet of blood.

    Through his drunken haze of victory at his mortal nemesis finally succumbing, and the ungodly pride of whisking his limp body away to his castle as a spoil of war; Indrajit had long forsaken the shroud of honour so ingrained in his very veins.
    However, choosing to let him live- so that, as he believes, he can be a masterstroke at an unlikely dire hour- would prove a mistake to the warrior who made even the gods
    susceptible.
    In accomodating the princely ascetic, and navigating a complex melee where love and hate blur into one, both the impervious warriors would have to let go of their fair share of pride and prejudice.

    Summary

    Ravana decides to avenge Surpanakha by approaching the trio himself but ends up taking another, willing hostage instead. He must use this opportunity to rediscover his manhood--a fine line between finding closure and letting go of the past.

    A new, dark short story based on the Ramayana which takes place from the Dandaka hut days and onward, exploring Ravana and Rama's desire to maintain control over their own manhood (and kingship). Both are stubborn in their own ways, but to what lengths will each go to preserve what they believe they hold most dear?
