Synopsis: Geniuses and Other Mythical Beings

Although _Geniuses and Other Mythical Beings_ deals with myths and mythologies, it compares them to real people.

Written in the form of a memoir, I recall the fascinating individuals I met during my time in Boston, each matching up well with a mythical being.

Cyndi, a girl I met who stands 6'6", earned the somewhat unflattering nickname, "Amazon" for her height. This prompted me to study the mythical Amazons and how it connected to Cyndi, the real kind.

Similar scenarios play out in the chapters: Sarah & Jose, the Aliens; Agamemnon, the Superhero; Karen, the Saint; Ama, the Witch; Mensa, the group for Geniuses; and even Me, the Chimera.
