They thought I would match the goddess of wisdom, Athena. Unfortunately, from all those meaningful meanings, I only got stuck with one—courage. My mom's Greek so she used to tell me stories about mythology when I was little but I myself, don't really give a damn about Greek mythology. I only know one though, Cupid which is Eros and Eros which is Cupid. Make sense.

Pheonix suggested and everyone turned to look at him. “Who is the Lord of the revival” Valerie asked quite confused by the name. “Well then, why don’t you all settle down and listen to this ancient tale of the lord of the revival’s adventure” Pheonix announced. “Theseus, great hero of Attic legend, son of Aegeus, king of Athens, and Aethra, daughter of Pittheus, king of Troezen in Argolis, or of the sea god, Poseidon, and Aethra. Legend relates that Aegeus, being childless, was allowed by Pittheus to have a child Theseus by Aethra. When Theseus reached manhood, Aethra sent him to Athens. On the journey he encountered many adventures. At the Isthmus of Corinth he killed Sinis, called the Pine

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.

"Personally, I like the idea that hope helps us meet the challenges of life, particularly the ills of this world. Regardless, this is the Greek way of explaining why dreadful things happen." "Seems pretty misogynistic to me. Why do the women always get the shaft in these myths?" Dr. Frankler's laughter pealed like bells, making my lips twitch up. "I have to agree with you. Like I said before, women aren't the ones who wrote these stories." "Yeah. Stupid men did. I'd like to hear some myths or fairy tales that a woman wrote."

As my story has developed, I have added in a Fae language. Since the story lines follow ancient Greek gods and goddesses, I have used ancient Greek for the Fae language and Latin for witch's spells.

He looked up from his book and smile as I was joining him. “Hey beautiful, were you able to get the math homework done?” “Yes, but I’m still having trouble with my papers on Poseidon. My father always had a thing against me learning anything on the Greek gods.” “Well, it’s a good thing that our literature class is taking us to the museum today to give us more info on the Greek mythology. Were you able to get your father to sign the permission slip?” “Yeah, I had him sign yesterday morning when he was still half asleep. It’s sad that I have to lie just so I can get more info on my essay, but if I don’t get done with it that’s like half my grade.”

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.

Lilith whispered, “Wasn't that the name of a goddess, the one of forgetfulness?” “Yes, that's correct... You know one and two things about Greek mythology?” “Yes— my mother, Catherine... She and my dad, well— you know what I mean, they would tell me mini-stories about Gods and Goddesses, but I guess they are no longer stories... Or myths, because now they are my only hope of surviving the supernatural,” “Is there any part in those little stories that explain how we get across at nights?” I intervened, “What do you mean, they are just a bunch of souls who don't remember themselves, it doesn't seem that complicated to me,” Lilith shrugged her shoulders,

Mrs Tina asked when she saw a hand up "umm yes Ma" Mary replied"you said the Romans worshipped the gods of Olympus and the gods are said to be immortal .If so then why did Romes civilization fade out of existence with time and where are the gods of Olympus today?"
