Today’s Strands Breakdown
I am such a nerd for all things mythological, I was quite pleased with today’s Strands. It was also a bit of fun to list all the gods associated with each DOMAIN (today’s spangram) though the Norse gods don’t quite line up to each of these as well as the Roman and Greek, the Romans having pretty much copied the Greek myths and pantheon in one of the most egregious examples of cultural appropriation in history.
