“Can we get on with the training, please?” Ophois laughed. “So proper on the outside, but you have the heart of a huntress.” I squeezed my eyes shut and gave myself a mental kick for not remaining silent. Up until Demeter had mentioned this guy’s name, I’d only ever heard of the major Egyptian gods: Isis, Osiris, Anubis, Ra. Ophois called himself the Opener of the Way, but what if he was really the Egyptian god of mischief? Or discord? Or the anti-cupid who liked to break up fated mates?

Unlike many other Greek gods and goddesses, Demeter was not mentioned very often by Homer, but her legend in relation to Persephone was likely quite ancient. Zeus, unlike his sister and fourth wife, Demeter, is much more widely known. His exploits and various relationships have marked most of Greek mythology in one way or another. Zeus was the chief deity of the Olympian pantheon and served as God of the Sky. He was seen as a ruler, protector, and father to both gods and human beings and was often represented by lightning bolts and eagles. In addition to her parents, Persephone had one full sibling, a minor deity named Iacchus, and a myriad of half-siblings from both her mother and father.

Fate sure worked in mysterious ways… Holding a bolt of thunder in his hand, Zeus stood proudly with his long golden locks flying in the wind. His electric blue eyes were narrowed fiercely at the Titans and the demons. Near him stood the other Olympian Gods including Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite, Artemis, Ares, Hermes, Dionysus, Hades and Persephone. The Titans who joined the Olympians after the imprisonment of Cronus including Mnemosyne stood with the Olympians. Other minor Gods and deities also surrounded them as we all stood waiting for the war to begin.

He said and it sparked my interest. "Why?" I asked, finding myself more inquisitive. "I prefer football. It's fun, I don't have to read for it or cram stupid Greek names like Zeut," He said and I laughed. "It's Zeus, let me explain, it's pretty interesting if you pay attention." "Oh no, please," Henry pleaded and reached to cover his ears but I held him down and laughed. "There were three immortal Greek gods. They were all brothers. Their names were Zeus, Poseidon and Hades," I started to say, remembering exactly how it was in my notebook.

Flaming Qilin said, "What are the Western gods in charge of? Is there any other god besides the God of War Ares?" A proud look appeared on Thomas' face, and he said, "Three gods have awakened in the West now. They are the God of War, Ares, the God of the Ocean, Poseidon, and the God of the Sun, Apollo." "How many gods do you have?" Flaming Qilin asked. "We have a total of twelve gods," Thomas said. "How high is their cultivation?" Yan Wushuang asked. Thomas placed his hands below his left and right shoulders, and said devoutly, "Gods are undefeatable. They are the rulers of this world. They cannot be measured by cultivation levels."

he drawled calmly. "That was Poseidon, god of the seas. Everyone knows that he is a jolly good fellow, always partying and dining but is very greedy with his treasures. But Hades, is sensitive, depressed, and irritable. Very short-tempered and quick to lash out," she countered. "There were other gods besides Poseidon," he said frowning at her obvious neglect of his accomplishments. "Yes, I know, there was Aeolus, god of the wind. Demeter, goddess of the harvest and seasons. Apollos, god of light, prophecy, healing, and plague," she listed them out.

Still, they kept watching each other. Zeus was lord of the sky once again, but his wife also bore him three other gods: Ares, the god of war, Hephaestus, the smith-god, forger of weapons, and Eris, goddess of chaos and discord, who shrieks beside Ares in his battle chariot. The rest of Zeus's children were born out of wedlock. Three of them entered the Pantheon later.

Dionysos (Bacchus): god of wine, pleasure and festivity.

Aliana’s POV “You’re little--- what now?!” I gaped up at him, wondering if I’d heard him correctly. Sure, I knew in theory what a Muse was – if I didn’t, my father would be thoroughly disappointed in me. I mean more than he already was… In Greek mythology, the Muses were the nine goddesses of the arts, literature, and sciences. They were the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, aka Memory. Zeus, of course, was the ruler of all the gods on Mount Olympus, the God of the Sky and Thunder.

Master made sure I was well versed in literature, poetry, music, arts and dance. Master kept me indoors until I was thirteen years old, before he began hosting concerts and big dinner parties where he charged royals and demanded gold coins and expensive jewellery for them to catch a glimpse of me. I was not allowed to converse with any person and to be honest, I do not believe that I can because when I enter a place, everyone hushes and mumbles my name of Aphrodite.
