Since what enjoyment I get from Rowling is from the plot, I'd rather not be spoiled.
"The Myrmidons" in The First Heroes (the trade pb comes out next month; or I could email) is the Myrmidon origin story, done as a sex farce. Also, it's done in 500 lines of rhymed stanzas. (Also, it's the start of a series collectively known for lack of a better title as "Larry takes Greek Mythology down in flames and dances on the ashes in orgiastic glee," not that I've sold any sequels yet. If you know of a market willing to take 650 lines on "Myrmidons in Calydon," I'd love to hear of it.)
