Mythology, Folklore and Behind the Scenes Fact File

Welcome to the fact file for Foolish Fire, a place where you can find more information on the background of the inspirations behind my Secret Santa gift for the amazing @popjunkie42-blog 💖

All of the inspiration I have taken from myths and folktales have been adapted to the story I am trying to tell, but where I have made creative adjustments, I will try to point out the changes below.

Erebus Forest In Greek mythology, Erebus is the personification of darkness. Some Ancient Greek authors also use Erebus to describe the particular form of gloom found in the Underworld. The concept of Erebus is most famously mentioned in Homer's Iliad, in which Erebus is the physical location that Hercules must venture into to collect the three-headed dog Cerberus. This mythology inspired the name of the forest in Foolish Fire due to the importance of how dark this particular forest gets and the impact this has within this story.

Will-o'-the-wisps These little creatures are tricky beings found in numerous forms in various European folktales. Traditionally known for mimicking the flickering light of a lantern, will-o'-the-wisps use their light to deceive weary travellers into getting lost.

Within this story, I decided to make it so that the will-o'-the-wisps are utilised by other creatures in the forest to capture prey and have a particular ability to cause a dreamlike trance in their victims. The title for this fic comes from the Latin translation for Will-o’-the-Wisp (ignis fatuus), which directly translates to foolish fire in English.

Belisama Lake The lake Feyre finds herself wading into during Foolish Fire is called Belisama Lake, a name inspired by the Celtic Goddess of lakes and fire, whose name, it has been reported, translates to ‘Most Mighty One’. During the Roman period, the river currently known as Ribble River, which runs through the North of England, was referred to as the Belisama in honour of the Goddess.

The Monster in the Lake The creature Feyre encounters in the waters of the Erebus forest was inspired by a mixture of one very famous creature from Scottish folklore, and an aquatic beast from approximately 240 million years ago.

The Loch Ness Monster The concept of creatures lurking beneath the surface in large bodies of water was not new in 1933 when the Loch Ness Monster was first brought to light on a global scale, however, Nessie is perhaps the most famous of all mythological lake monsters. Nestled in the Scottish Highlands, Loch Ness attracts vast numbers of tourists every year, hoping to catch a glimpse of the famed creature who is said to reside there.

The Nothosaurus Whilst the inspiration to add an underwater challenge to Foolish Fire came from the legend of Loch Ness, the real-life inspiration for the creature itself comes from a long extinct semi-oceanic reptile, who at 14 metres in length, dominated waters in the Triassic Period. The Nothosaurus was a carnivorous animal with needle-like teeth and a thick tail that acted as a paddle to steer it through the water.

The Empusa This shape-shifting female, with one copper leg (and sometimes a donkey’s leg, too), is commanded by Hecate in Greek mythology and uses her abilities to seduce and feed on young men. For this reason, she was compared to a vampire in the ‘Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology’ by William Smith (1849).

In Foolish Fire, the Empusa roams the woodlands of Pythian and is one of the most wanted creatures by all seven High Lords for the numerous violent deaths she causes yearly.

The Waterfall The waterfall Rhys and Feyre stumble upon in chapter three is inspired by Plitvice Lakes National Park and the stunning waterfalls that are found there.

The glowing element of the waterfall is inspired by the natural beauty of bioluminescent waters like those found in many locations such as New Zealand, Cambodia and the Maldives.

The Red Shoes The Red Shoes is a Danish fairytale, written by Hans Christian Anderson in the mid-1800's. It has been adapted numerous times, perhaps most famously in 1948 in a film adaptation by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. The tale also inspired singer-songwriter Kate Bush's seventh studio album of the same name.

The Cyclops Over the years there were many interpretations of cyclops in Greek mythology, famously however, three talented cyclopes named Arges, Steropes, and Brontes, help to craft Zeus's thunderbolt. With their distinct single eye in the centre of their heads, cyclopes are incredibly recognisable characters, even in the modern age.

Cerberus Hades three-headed dog Cerberus is the famed creature who guards the gates to the Underworld. His three heads and serpents tails makes him an incredibly terrifying creature in Greek mythology, but in Foolish Fire a baby Cerberus is the sweetest of all little pups and makes the perfect addition to Feyre and Rhysand's perfect little family.

How's your trip going? x

Hello, it’s going well but it’s very tiring! We go to a different city almost everyday. And because our itinerary is very ambitious, we missed or rushed through some things but made the most of it.

I’m in Dubrovnik right now and we’re going to Kotor tomorrow. Of all the Croatian cities we’ve visited, Dubrovnik is the nicest one. We walked the city walls today and it was so beautiful! My favorite cities so far are Trieste, Rovinj, and Dubrovnik. My cousins really like Dubrovnik and Ljubljana.

I’ve been taking tons of photos and videos and it’s becoming hard to keep up. Here’s a slideshow of my edited pics. I haven’t touched the ones from today but I’ll post some unedited ones from the city wall today. Thanks for asking. I hope all is well with you! ☺️

^ I previously posted Zagreb so these ones are from Ljubljana, Lake Bled, Vintgar Gorge, Trieste, Rovinj, Plitvice Lakes National Park, Split, Zadar, and some Dubrovnik.

^ Unedited photos from the city wall today. My camera makes things darker than it really is. 100% worth the €35!

National park Plitvice lakes is a truly rare gem and the nature was absolutely breathtaking. This long hike was pretty exhilarating and exhausting, but being surrounded by my family and beautiful waterfalls motivated me to complete this challenging activity. Despite the tiredness, the joy of exploring as a family overshadowed everything. The hike was a simple yet profound reminder of the beauty found in shared adventures and the bonding power of nature. This activity pushed me beyond my previous limits thanks to the constant up and down 10 kilometer trail and made me test out my endurance and form.

A few pics from our weekend excursion to Plitvice Lakes National Park, Rastoke and the Homeland War Museum in Karlovac. The park was beautiful but so packed with people that I felt like I missed the magic a bit. There's a trail that takes you through most of the highlights, like the walkways along the lakes and a boat ride across them, but we were in such a long line of people that I felt I had to keep moving. That said, the waters and cliffs are truly beautiful, and I'm glad we were able to see it in temperate weather. I cannot imagine how hot and crowded it must have been in high summer.

We spent the night in an utterly charming little hotel, Pansion Breza, down a winding one-lane road high up in the hills over the lakes. It's immaculately maintained, with overflowing flower boxes and a pristine view over rolling countryside dotted with sheep. We also had two of the best meals of our entire trip there -- a three-course vegetarian feast for dinner, and a sprawling breakfast with fresh-out-of-the-oven beignets and croissants, farm-fresh eggs from the chickens running around, and a pile of fruit.

Fully stuffed and satisfied, we tootled back toward Zagreb with a stop in Rastoke, a little village built over a series of ponds and waterfalls. The Korana river runs alongside and through it, and you can walk around the little town center while looking down at trout swimming just under your feet. Absolutely adorable and well worth a stop.

Finally we stopped in Karlovac, a key city on the frontlines of the Croatian Homeland War of 1991-1995, which has a great museum telling the story of the conflict and displaying relics like tanks and machine guns. It really brought war home for us all, as you can see some of the ruins of shelled buildings all around the area. To imagine small towns like Karlovac getting leveled TODAY, just a few hundreds of miles away from us, is hard to contemplate. The boys were particularly struck by the memorial room, showing photos of the Croatian soldiers killed in combat. Some as young as 19.

Even after that, I still can't explain with 100 percent certainty how and why the fighting began, other than to simply say that it was about the fight for independence and territory, and pushing out occupiers of the homeland. Sounds familiar, no?

Plitvice National Park in Croatia was gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Went from the upper lakes (quieter, less tourists, more impressive) to the lower. All beautiful.
