Mythological Figures Novels & Stories

"Rhea managed to save the youngest, Zeus, by hiding him away on the island of Crete, fed Kronos a stone wrapped in the swaddling clothes of an infant. The god grew up, forced Kronos to disgorge his swallowed offspring, and led the Olympians in a ten-year war against the Titans, before driving them defeated into the pit, of what we call hell. Do you know what it's called?" I asked Mac and he nodded. "Yes, the pit of silence and I don't give a fuck about Greek Myth." He whined and I laughed softly. "Tartarus. It's where all Mythological monsters and beings go after being destroyed, Except for gods, who fade away if they lose too many supporters and prayers. I don't want you to fail the rest to

[Narrator's POV] A long time ago, there was a group of male sinners, also called cursed humans, who had been altered by the Gods to transform into evil giants with fur-covered bodies, bull-like heads, and tails. These monsters, born from the arrogance of man towards the Gods, came to be known as Minotaurs or the Monsters of the Labyrinths. Five of them found themselves trapped inside the confusing structures created by Poseidon, where five pairs were currently walking through. "To kill is to live" was their belief, and they eagerly awaited the arrival of the defenders to satisfy their hunger.

This setting happened only in my history class during my school days but I can't believe that it's happening now to me for real. I broadened my visions inside the palace and I was so obsessed to see a giant statue in front of the King's throne. It's a golden statue of the Goddess Hera, Zeus' wife in Mythology. I can still recall how Hera became so jealous and vengeful to some of Zeus' lovers in my Mythology subject. I never thought to see my favorite Goddess here inside what they called the Valkyrie Kingdom.

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."

'If you find the child, the mother isn't far behind'. So they believed. CHAPTER FIVE: MARRIAGE OF A DEITY, GOD AND GODDESS. Deities, like gods and goddesses had to visit the oracle of life and the three thread sisters, very ancient beings and more gigantic than any god and goddess. They were the only ones who would give the deities, gods and goddess their significant others if they wanted one. However, there is a catch with the process of finding 'the one' for deities.

Now it seems not to be the case. Thinking through her, she begins to tell her good friends about what Olympian gods might have. “Well… According to the legend. I know that they should have many monsters and beasts in control. Also… they should have a lot of goodies such as The Golden Fleece, Golden Apple, Aegis, Achilles Armor Etc.” Aurelia tries to list the artifact from the Greek Myth then she notices that it’s quite a long list so she brings out a tablet from her storage ring and starts to type all the lists as much as she could think of along with their abilities.

Smith. It was starting to feel like we were on to something. We started going down the rabbit hole of links related to this Great Goddess and all the legends surrounding her. She seemed to be like a Mother Earth figure in mythology, relating to all the elements. In other myths, she was the goddess of rebirth or fertility. Some, she was a protector figure, taking on any form needed to protect a tribe or an ancient city. She even turned into a river in one story, and caused volcanoes to erupt when evil came over civilizations in another.

'I bet there are thousands of mythological books' I thought, I looked around as much as I could while Hades carried me. ''You love books, don't you?'' He commented as he weaved his way through shelf after shelf of books, following Lachesis. ''No, just mythological books,'' I replied ''The underworld is the source of all mythological books and stories.'' Hades huffed. ''Are you not serious?'' I asked in disbelief. ''Do you know the myth of Cerberus?'' He asked. ''Of course. He's the Greek hellhound. It's one of the most famous myths'' I replied.

Alcmene’s voice fades into an echo as I try to understand what she is saying. “I don’t understand. Do you mean Zeus? THE Zeus, the Greek god who lives on top of a mountain? Thunderbolts and all that? No way. That’s not possible, those are just stories.” I send up a silent prayer to the goddess that this is some kind of initiation hoax played on everyone by their wolf. Alcmene scoffs and slows her pace to a walk.

“Oh, this isn’t the beginning.” I gathered my gown and followed the sequence backward to what looked like the start: a mighty figure towering over another. Both looked divine, like gods. Their features were too flawless to be human. They had elements no person could possess. Were werewolves once gods? Cast from the heavens by some older deity? “That’s Zeus,” a hand pointed toward the larger figure, startling me half to death. I spun around and came face-to-face with a tall, breathtaking woman.
