Question I'm writing a modern day story based on the Jason and Medea myth in the style of an Agatha Christie play. I need the name of a detective. Can you think of an ancient Greek character that would fit this role? Thanks!
Answer Hello Courtney,
The first name that comes to mind is the name of TIRESIAS.
He was, in mythology, a seer, a prophet, a wise man and a detective who loved to solve the puzzles of the gods, for which reason why he got himself into much trouble with Hera as well as Zeus.
