Greek Myth Figures Novels & Stories

Ares said, while scratching the side of his brow. "Why? How did you say that?" She asked curiously. "Well, I just thought about it right now. You already know, right? That our names are from Greek mythology. " She nodded at what Ares said. She had known that for a long time because she asked Zeus. "Oh, I know what Greek Mythology is," Astraea said, raising her hand. "It's a Greek culture, uncle Ares?" Astraea said, smiling. "Yes, it is Astraea," Ares said to her daughter, "but did you know that Ares, Selene, and Zeus are gods and goddesses in Greek mythology?"

Shadow listed all the familiar names. “The Greek gods…” Sabrina whispered to an astonished Cole. “That is surprisingly stupid.” Cole had no words to describe the stupidest action of them all. “No. Not stupid.” But Shadow had to support their claims. “Poseidon, the God who controlled the sea, Hercules… Ah… I don’t wish to list all of the stupid things. We had a few discussions we needed to do. That’s why I am here.” Shadow retracted her thinking from listing all unimportant stuff to stroke their egos.

I started to say, remembering exactly how it was in my notebook. "They were the sons of Kronos, who was the Titan god of time and the ages, especially time where regarded as destructive and all-devouring. He ruled the cosmos during the so-called Golden Age of the Greeks, after castrating and deposing his father Ouranos into the sky. Later he received a prophecy from the Oracle of Delphi that his own son would be the conqueror of him. In fear of a prophecy that he would in turn be overthrown by his own son, Kronos swallowed each of his children as soon as they were born."

he suggested. I nodded, leading the way back to my House. As I recall, he and Melanthios were both of Zeus, while Melanthios older sons joined different Houses. Ajax is a member of House Apollo, while Dorian is a member of Poseidon. I don’t think I could have pictured any of them in Ares. If we accepted women, I think their sister Iynx would have fit, but she’s better off in House Artemis. It is, after all, where she met her wife, the retired Lady Artemis. “I suppose that’s true. Your brothers joined Poseidon and Apollo Houses, and your sister more than pledged to Artemis." I chuckled.

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.
