Long (100 words)

Leo Lightfoot is the author of The Prometheus Codex, a trilogy retelling Greek mythology across three thematic volumes — Of Gods, Of Men and Of Monsters. The series is framed as a recovered document: an account written by Prometheus for a world he can feel forgetting. Drawing on Hesiod, Ovid and the Orphic tradition, the books separate what the ancient sources actually say from the author's own telling, and are accompanied by an extensive online Codex doing the same. The first volume, Of Gods: The Rise of Olympus, publishes in late 2026.

Suggested interview questions

Offered to save you time — ignore them entirely if you'd rather.

  1. 1. The trilogy is framed as a document written by Prometheus. Why him?
  2. 2. Greek myth has been retold a great deal lately. What was missing?
  3. 3. The Codex on the site separates "the myth" from "how I tell it". Why make that split visible?
  4. 4. Of Monsters gives the beasts their origins back. What changes when you tell it from that side?
  5. 5. Chronos and Kronos are kept strictly separate in these books. Does that distinction matter outside scholarship?
  6. 6. Hesiod says the Muses gave him the Theogony on Mount Helicon — where your first chapter is set. Deliberate?
