I think I would like to use Greek and Roman myths as inspiration to write a series of semi-original origin stories. I think that format could be a great combination of style and literary opportunities, plus a pretty straightforward system. It allows for any number of stories to be written that aren't necessarily contingent on each other, and I could write any number of them. There could also be some stories around general moral teachings, set in the genre's tone.
1 - The Moon. This is a pretty generic origin story that I can write, but it has a lot of possibilities. It would be pretty interesting to incorporate some sort of Etruscan element here. One option would be the religion's explanation surrounding lightning strikes. Sort of a lightening-strike-source that stuck around.
2 - Clouds. Clouds are so striaght forward in origin stories that there are a lot of routes that I can take when it comes to the origin's details. I want to incorporate Fufluns in at least one, if not a lot of, my myths and stories. The God is connected to such things as nature, life, and general health that there are so many ways to incorporate him.
3 - Sword Significance. This one can incorporate both the Roman/Greek focus while also bringing in the possibility of King Arthur influences. I like the idea of tracing the symbolism to Paris in Troy. There would be quite the story hole, because swords were around before then, but in this world Paris could have the need to fight Achilles' lance, leading to the sword's installation. This significance could actually become a pretty large piece of my project, as the tool can obviously go down across many genres.
