“I don’t know if you are aware of the intricacies of the background of your species. I have spent the last few days learning about the werewolf. I am assuming your mother knew, though, giving you your name and all.” “The wolves are the creation of Selene, the Greek Moon Goddess. But did you know that the gods and goddesses are the same deity, but they have different names in different cultures? For example, the ancient Romans’ name for Selene is Luna. And the Egyptians call her Isis.”

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. Zagreus, or “Great Hunter,” was the god of Orphic Mysteries. His birth was the result of a tryst between the goddess Persephone and Zeus when the god disguised himself as a serpent and seduced the Queen of the Underworld. Once he was born, Zeus placed Zagreus on the throne of heaven and gave the child his lightning bolts, unknowing that the Titanes would trick and dismember the boy once Hera poisoned their minds against him. Zeus saved the child’s heart and made it into a potion that Semele drank, thereby conceiving Dionysos.

"Why do they call it Orion the Hunter?" "The name is a reference to a story from Greek mythology. You will find Orion mentioned in Homer's Odyssey. According to the story, he was placed in the sky by the king of the gods, Zeus. He chases the scorpion… which is that constellation there.... and the star Sirius.... there.... was his dog." Her eyes are bright and attentive. "If you would like to know more, I have a book at home. I will bring it to class tomorrow." She nods eagerly.

A tragic place where they would be imprisoned to death. The second highest caste is the Elemental Caste. It is the most important caste of all for it balances the Olympus. This is why only six people in every generation were chosen by the heavens to uphold every six elements: ice, lightning, earth, air, water, and fire. And just a few hours ago, I met the most dangerous of them all, the Fire Element holder. And the most powerful caste of all, the Special Caste. Professor Damaris said that even the books have no idea what exactly it is. But no matter what it is, it will surely be the most powerful of all.

She was fascinated by the way that different cultures had woven tales of love into the night sky. "And then there's the story of Orion and Scorpio," Eddie said, pointing to two constellations on opposite sides of the sky. "According to Greek mythology, Orion was a great hunter who boasted that he could kill any animal on earth. This angered the goddess Gaia, who sent a giant scorpion to kill him."

The Elders were more scheming than he'd originally thought. Milo's sneeze made him shake off his ruminations. Teagan had fallen fast asleep too, the bottle feeder still in his mouth. He was hot all over, so Sawyer had to place him on his bed, directly underneath the ceiling fan so he could cool off. After their birth, he'd prodded Daniel to buy books filled with information about the Crescent Twins. The Moon Goddess was married to Nyx's twin brother, who ruled the night along with her. But their difference was that Nyx used her power for evil, while her brother Nyxe was a god of good deeds. He battled the god of the Sun for many centuries when the latter sought to take over the night as well

he's biding his time with me too… The old High Priestess, Mirabella, had said something similar to Zemira about Orion. That Zemira had just as much advantage over Orion because they had become fully Marked... Does a completed Nexus make Orion stronger or weaker? Or is it both? Gold and Silver...what does that mean? I don't if told that to Zemira because he didn't trust her to know, or he didn't know himself. I've gathered a lot of this riddle had much to do with Greek mythology. The Moon is named after all three moon goddesses. Orion is a warrior in the ancient stories. Even the term that Zemira used to describe our powers was connected to the Hendrick Styx.

Willow frowned at him, "I'm sorry, but Witchcraft and all that isn't my specialty." "No, it's alright. I was a bit confused at first myself." Willow smiled lightly before she looked back at Amira, "Artemis is the Greek Goddess of the Hunt, but the Romans identified with her of the name Diana." She holds up three fingers, "She's part of the triple Goddess with Selene or Luna in Roman and Hecate." She lowered her hand, "And yet it was Artemis that you came across?"

FACT VS FICTION INDEX This is more a Myth VS Fiction index for those who don't believe in Greek Mythology - none of this, as far as I'm aware, is known to be a sure fact - these are simply what my research told me and what I used to build the story.
