Dear Pam,

when I awoke this morning, I had an idea.

There are some historical comic book series in Europe, especially France - i don't know, if you have heard about them. The most famous is "Asterix", written firstly by René Goscinny, and drawn by Albert Uderzo, who is responsible for the series after Goscinnys death in the late 1970s. There are more than 30 volumes in this series now.
The other one was created by Jacques Martin from Strasbourg. His first creation had been "Alix" in 1948. He built up a program of boy hero series before a historical setting: "Alix" is about Rome in the times of Julius Caesar, "Keos" is about Egyptians and Jews in the era of the Pharaos and Mose, "Xan" (later "Jhen" is about the late Middle Ages, "Lois" is about a painter at the court of the Roi du Soleil, Louis XVI ... and "Orion" is about a Greek boy at the era of Socrate - so the concept of "Orion" is close of your "House of the Muses: The Latter Days of Sappho of Lesbos".....
