A retelling of Peter Pan in ancient Greece

Change Peter to Artemis and the Lost Boys to her huntresses.

Change Tiger Lily's people to Scythian raiders, but depict them more respectfully than the "Indians" in Peter Pan tend to be portrayed. Maybe even have the Tiger Lily equivalent join Artemis's hunt?

Tinker Bell could be some sort of nymph.

Keep the mermaids and pirates, as the ancient Mediterranean had plenty of mermaid tales and piracy.

Not sure if the Wendy equivalent should join the hunt in the end, or return home like she does in the original novel. In either case she's probably gay, though. If she does go home, she'll presumably always remember Artemis as "the one that got away." Though maybe Wendy ends up learning poetry from Sappho, which would cheer things up a bit.

I think the name of Wanda’s big adversary for this arc is like… scythia of the Bacchae unless I misunderstood something in one of the later solits. I think she’s Darcy’s problem? Which is kind of disappointing that cover with the shadowed villain was like a “who’s that pokemon” thing her being an unestablished villain feels underwhelming

Yes, this character is named Scythia, and she is identified inthe solicits as the leader of the Bacchae.

Just when the Scarlet Witch thinks she’s shielded Darcy Lewis from their new enemy’s vendetta, Scythia returns – covered in armor made from the same antimagic rock Wanda’s been studying. Can Wanda defend Darcy – and herself – against a warrior who’s immune to magic? [x]

In classical literature, the Bacchae are female worshippers of the god Bacchus. Most people are more familiar with their Greek equivalent, the Maenads, who appear in various stories as cult worshippers of Dionysus. The Maenads were famous for tearing men limb from limb during violent fits of religious ecstasy, which is scary, but also pretty metal.

In the Marvel universe, the Bacchae are an ancient clan of warrior women who serve the demigoddess Hippolyta. They're like the Amazons, if the Amazons lived in Manhattan and did organized crime. They popped up a few times in the late-90s/early-2000s as antagonists to both the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, but they are very minor characters. I assume that the Bacchae in Scarlet Witch are the same group, but Scythia is brand new. Hippolyta died a while back, and things have been kind of up in the air with the Greek gods since No Road Home, so I'm guessing that the Bacchae are just under new management.

The Bacchae aren't all immortal-- they recruit regular people, kind of like a gang. I'm assuming that Darcy got involved with them, got in trouble, and had a hard time getting out, which is how she found herself stepping through the Last Door. We'll have to wait to see what Darcy could have done to piss Scythia off so badly, and what, if anything, it has to do with the mystery of the magic-repelling stone.

A couple fun facts about the name "Scythia": the Scythian people were an ancient culture that dominated the Pontic Steppe-- a region very close to where Wanda was born-- from the 6th to 3rd centuries BC. "Scythia" refers to their kingdom during that period. There is a Marvel character called "Scythian Algurus," but he is an alien from the Negative Zone, so I don't think he's related to this new lady. I've seen some folks getting confused about that.
