I wouldn't go so far as to say that, though. Moreover, Delany isn't satisfied with just bringing in one myth in fact, some might argue that the story suffers from a touch of mythic overload. He does bring in a few changes to the story. However, don't assume that Delany slavishly follows the myth. If you know the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, then you have the basic plot structure. SF writers frequently borrow mythic themes for their tales, and Delany is no exception here. It is one that I have read several times. My own reaction is mixed: some novels I thoroughly enjoy while others.? The Einstein Intersection belongs in the first category. I suspect that Samuel Delany is one of those SF writers that readers either highly admire or find unreadable.
