Pooka, "Orpheus and Eurydice" is my favorite myth, I think. (And I love love love the Rilke poem about it.) Either that or "Hades and Persephone."
But I think my favorite character is Atalanta.
But I'm also a fan of Arion. And Cupid and Psyche.

The way I think of books is a little different than the way most others seem to. If at the end there are more plusses than minuses, I liked the book. I had a similar reaction, actually, particularly to the concluding bits. But the first 85% - 90% was so good that for me, it outweighs the rest. I'm very forgiving when it comes to that. I enjoyed more than I disliked, so I liked it. ^_^
