Greek Creation Myth Novels & Stories

All pulled straight from ancient legends. “What’s Greek mythology, Uncle Handsome?” Summer asked, plopping down on the floor across from him. They sat cross-legged, facing each other like old friends. Artemis collapsed onto the sofa and started scrolling through her phone. “It’s the stories and gods of ancient Greece,” Apollo explained. “Your Grandpa Hades is named after the God of the Underworld. Your dad—Helios—is the God of the Sun. That’s why I thought you named her Summer.” Ah. That made sense. The Sun God and the hottest season—of course Apollo would connect the two. I’d never known Helios’s name had roots in mythology.

I rested my forehead against hers and tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear. "According to Greek Mythology, humans were created with four arms, four legs, and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate beings, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves." I said and she raised her eyebrows, still looking confused. "I have found my half," I said and the surprise was evident in her eyes. There was also adoration and something else, that always seemed to flash whenever I told things like these to her. She closed her eyes, almost as if trying to control her emotions. My lips reached her forehead, feathering a soft kiss. Slowl

His voice was distant, as if he were putting together a puzzle in his mind. - AND...? — Aspen expressed the question that was also in my head. — In Greek mythology, Rhea and Cronnos are the Titans who created the world. They are the parents of the gods Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. They were husband and wife. — Remus explained. My eyes widened in surprise. — You mean Chloe and Aaron are…. — Aspen asked, excited. — It's just a theory, but it is known that wolves can only mate with another whose wolf name connects with theirs in Greek mythology.

I tell him. We had made our plan and we would see it through. I knew this plan was going to be dangerous and I knew that we could easily end up dead. I knew that Asmoday was friends with three humans that had wanted to be turned into werebears by Athena. Yeah, all those gods had created many creatures over the last 2000 years. Both Athena and Aphrodite had created were creatures. Part human part beast. The human was able to shift into an animal. They had created all sorts of humans that could shift into wolves, bears, numerous species of big cats, foxes, and many other animals. Athena also created dragons. Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades had gotten into a competition to see who could creat

“Check this out.” Jasper turned the laptop screen to face us as we gathered around, “It’s a story of Greek mythology on how werewolves were created.” “The first Lycan wolf was created by Zeus, the Greek God as a punishment for committing murder and placed on a deserted island where he was cursed to live a life of solitude and suffering for eternity.” Alpha Allison read aloud the part that Jasper highlighted and looked at us. “That’s all it says?” I wondered, confused by how an entire race came to be of a single Lycan.

"Do any of you know the story about the children of chaos and Gaea? The Greek legends?” Willow perks up and has her laptop ready for note-taking and research. “I know a little bit but I have a feeling, not as much as you.” I continue to explain the history of our realm. "Chaos and Gaea were the first Gods. No one knows how they were created but they were first and became what they were at the beginning of time. Chaos is the God of void and emptiness. He ruled over the plains of darkness and shadow. Gaea is the Goddess of light and creation. She is also often referred to as Mother Earth as she created all life and what is needed to sustain life in this realm.

Mind out of the gutter. "What did he say?" he asked, trying to sound nonchalant. I scoffed,"The historians believed that Galerians are a result of a union between an Alerian and a god named Zeus." It was Derek's turn to scoff. "What? They inculcated Greek Mythology into it? That's preposterous!" "I couldn't imagine the purebloods version," an absurd idea struck me. "Maybe your version involves leprechauns and unicorns," I said, chuckling.

Why did he have to be so insanely handsome? "Some are. Some were created. There is actually a grain of truth in those greek tales you've read. I am one of the birthed ones. My parents were Janus and Mera. The god of portals and beginnings and the black hound goddess, also known as the goddess of darkness and terror," he said with a calm and unbothered tone, taking another sip from his glass. "They've both moved on to their celestial cycles," he added with a shrug and her brows furrowed, remembering what miss Nancy had told her about them. Their so-called deaths, along with his wife's.

We all remained quiet, saying nothing. “Now, to understand what is happening to you, Jocelyn, we must go back to the gods. Now many believe that Selene is our goddess, that she was the one that created us. But according to our history which some will choose not to believe. Odin himself created the first two wolves that populated the earth. Now Freya, who you are a direct descendant of. When she went to battle, she would receive half the warriors that died and the other half would go to Odin.” She paused for a second, which I was thankful for because I was already trying to wrap my head around this. How could Selene not be the one that created us, and how was it that no one remembered who Fre

The werewolf originated in the times of ancient Greece when their gods reigned supreme. During one fateful festivity, Lycaon, the son of Pelasgus, was in need of a meat to serve. Too lazy to go hunting for wild game or to slaughter a lamb, he served the Greek god, Zeus (who was the ruler of the sky and of all gods and mankind), a meal made from the remains of a sacrificed boy. This severely enraged Zeus. As punishment, the angered god turned Lycaon and his sons into wolves. They were to be looked upon by the rest of humanity as something to abhor.
