Well, since I well and truly suck at titling (I think the last two novels I tried writing I didn't even think of anything) I'm appealing to you intelligent people for help.
Originally, my NaNoWriMo was going to be called "Marathon", then I changed it to "Earth and Water" and now I've realised both titles are terrible; unemotive and plain.
Basically, my novel is hopefully going to be about three Greeks who's stories converge, and they become close friends. The plot is less important than the brotherhood and camarderie of these men, but it involves a lost wife, a lot of deaths, the battles of Marathon and Thermopylae, the Olympics, Athenian politics ... to name a few. Yeah.
I know a few of you might say "You don't need to name it yet! You can always change it later!" But I really really want a title. I think it might spur me on to have a really powerful title.
Here's a few more I thought of that could be better:
The Sky So Deeply Red (taken from a poem I found on Thermopylae)
Not Death But Love
Those Slain Lie Famous (Simonides)
Any thoughts? I really like the first one, "The Sky So Deeply Red" but I'm wondering on what someone else thinks?
