you knw the more i think about that artist and his muse story the more i think it might end up being rather smut-heavy? eek!
I actaully used epic poetry quite a lot fro the colchian inheritance - esp the dream sequence, and i worked a lot of the linguistic stuff into the story. but when i'm actaull telling a story i'm concious of the rythm of the owrds more, and of the repetiton of certain phrases, like homer uses "grey eyed godees" for athena. I become more and more aware that this is a holding pattern - it allows you to think about what comes next while your mouth is on autopilot! you get it in norse and early english stuff like beowulf as well, and even though i tell my own interpretations of these i still use the linguistic tricks, i revel in them because they work on so many levels
