Astraeus Greek Mythology Novels & Stories

Now it seems not to be the case. Thinking through her, she begins to tell her good friends about what Olympian gods might have. “Well… According to the legend. I know that they should have many monsters and beasts in control. Also… they should have a lot of goodies such as The Golden Fleece, Golden Apple, Aegis, Achilles Armor Etc.” Aurelia tries to list the artifact from the Greek Myth then she notices that it’s quite a long list so she brings out a tablet from her storage ring and starts to type all the lists as much as she could think of along with their abilities.

She was smiling widely like never before and unknowingly it made him smile too. He chuckled seeing her stumble a little. Zeus was walking very close to her, ready to catch her. Astraea must have been irritated with the ache in her legs. She stopped and glared at those deathly heels. Being fed up with them, she kicked them off her feet and started to walk barefoot. Zeus sighed and shook his head. He picked up the heels and followed her. Holding her wrist, he pulled her back into his chest. Her fruity smell was almost successful to bring out his inner beast, but somehow he controlled the urge.

I nodded my head in agreement and my mother sighed deeply. “Zeus has been out of control for a while. Not that we ever had control, but he has lost touch with what a leader should be. He has become cruel, violent and controlling over the rest of us. Especially to our family, he placed your father to sleep for all of eternity. He locked up Astraeus along with others for years. And at the moment, he is ruining marriages right and center by sleeping with women. ” “That’s absolutely horrible. He’s worse than I could've imagined...but Atreus isn’t family of me”

With her, he fathered the Corybantes, or crested dancers, lithe young men who shaved their hair to a forelock and danced at the great rituals. Then, roaming the hillsides, he came across a young girl who reminded him of his sister. She was a huntress. She chased deer on foot, hunted bears and wolves. When he saw her wrestling a full-grown lion, and throwing it to earth, the god decided he must have her. Her name was Cyrene. The son he gave her was named Aristeus, who taught man beekeeping, olive culture, cheese-making, and many other useful arts.

Her dark blue gown became disheveled but soon warped itself into nightwear. “Those bastards really went ahead with it.” She heaved another sigh. A while ago, the gods and goddesses of humanity convened for the ‘trial’. An overwhelming majority of the gods had voted for it. Those against it were significant in number. Unfortunately, they were either lower deities or fearful of the higher ones. No one could voice their displeasure. Even Astraea—goddess of the constellations—could not hold a candle to them. Their power comes from being highly established in human mythos.

, Venus said as she stepped forward, her golden hair shimmering as if catching the light of a hundred suns, her aura exuding an intoxicating mix of power, love, and allure. "Kaiden Steele," Venus began, her voice resonant, carrying the weight of divine authority. She turned her gaze toward Selene, who nodded in acknowledgment. "And Kaiden Æthiran Steele," Venus added, invoking the name Selene had given him at his birth—a name tied to the divine essence of the moon and stars, carrying the promise of greatness and balance.

I'm invested at what Tristen's talking about. "Aphronus comes from the goddess of love and beauty. Aphrodite, which is the goddess of sexual love and beauty in Greek mythology. Venus, also the goddess of love and beauty but in Roman mythology. Hope you get it. My grandmother combined the name of the same goddess in different version. " Tristen just shrugged then Jairus and Hendrix just nodded. "Your grandma is lit," Hendrix said in amazement. "How about the miracle thingy? Is that legit?" Jairus asked.

"He sent the sea monster, Cetus to attack Andromeda as punishment. She was later saved from death by Perseus and married him. After she died she was placed in the sky by Athena next to her husband and mother." "Oh," I say, looking up into the sky. I try to avoid his eyes. "I didn't know you know so much about constellations. You seem pretty passionate about them." He shrugs, turning his attention back to the sky. "I found them interesting and studied them. Like I said, I liked their history." I follow his gaze to the stars again and point to another set. "What are those called?" "Aries," he answers quickly. "And those?" I ask about another with an almost W shape.

She says and I look back at Asteria, who is on her knees. “I, King Poseidon, brother of Zeus and Hades, son of Kronos hereby, reinstate your full power queen Asteria, my daughter. You it wisely.” He says as the wind increases and forms around her as she is lifted gently off the ground inside the tornado. I watch as she spins, her long black hair whipping around. Golds, reds, purples, blues and pinks form around her. She throws her head back and shrieks as the colours absorb into her. Her skin glows in a delicate pink hue. Lightning strikes her over and over again. I scream, but I’m held back.

We have to get her back. After a round of rushed introductions that I highly doubt Odysseus will remember, Xander cuts to the point. “Tell us about Briareus.” Odysseus sighs. “He’s one of the three Hecatoncheires—sons of Gaia and Uranus, uncles to the Olympians. Giants, each with fifty heads and a hundred arms. Monstrous in form, but they fought with the gods in the war against the Titans. Zeus holds them in high regard.”
