Description
Set in pre-literate Bronze Age Greece, Serpent Visions reimagines the myth of the gender-switching seer Teiresias. Walking in the deep woods, he strikes apart two coupling serpents and transforms into a woman. Seven years later, she, now called Teira, encounters mating serpents, strikes between them, and becomes male again. When summoned by Zeus and Hera to answer who enjoys sex more, man or woman, Teiresias replies woman. Enraged, Hera blinds him. In compensation, Zeus grants him second sight, and he becomes the soothsayer entwined in the tragedies of Oedipus and his descendants. Sources: Ovid's Metamorphosis for the gender changes and the Theban plays of Sophocles as well as tragedies by Euripides and Aeschylus for the stories of Teiresias as the blind seer.During thes fading days of Mother Goddess religions, he relates his long-secret history to his daughter Manto, telling her a story that she, and Webber's readers, will never forget.
