Ophion Greek Mythology Novels & Stories

Their eyes always give it away. "Welcome back, Lord Ares. I wanted to wait till after you had returned before taking my leave. I am Oracle Trophonius." the oracle bowed his head. "I’m Phaedra, and only here because I did a favor for Eros." the gorgon shrugged indifferently. My eyes narrowed when he said his name, and my nostrils flared as my hand bawled into a fist. "You son of a bitch... I should add your name to the death count." I glared.

His hair cascades around his face in dark ringlets. “Father, can I interest you in wine?” he asks. “Ah, Dionysus, yes please,” Zeus cheers as the man pours red wine from a decanter he is holding, “Son, this is your half sister, Iokaste.” The man looks at me with a mix of curiosity and disgust, “She is one of the Menae? One of the wild monstrosities Mother and that human created?” Excuse me? Did he just call me a monstrosity? I don’t fucking think so, asshole.

“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?

I sighed, rubbing a hand over my face. He cocked his head, looking at me strangely. “What?” I asked. “Why did you say it like that? You put Poseidon above Zeus. No one does that. Zeus is the King of the Gods. He is placed above all.” he explained. “I exist because of Poseidon. He is the one that gifted the bull who would sire me to Minos. He is the one that cursed my mother with lust for the bull after Minos angered him. So it is the God of the Sea who set into motion my creation.” I explained.

It’s not a matebond—but it’s damn close. I try to stay away. Pretty sure he’s doing the same. Two mornings in, we gathered for breakfast to come up with a plan. “Tell us what you know about Tisiphone,” Dad asks Hermes. Hermes sighs, folding his hands. “We’re not exactly brunch buddies. I’ve only seen her a handful of times. But I’ve heard plenty. Tisiphone is the fury in charge of punishing murderers—homicide, fratricide, parricide, you name it. She’s got a hellfire whip and a temper to match. Not much in the way of combat skills beyond that, but she can fly and has claws sharper than daggers. And she works as a divine punisher for Hades, too.”

This one flash of hope from the reprieve made the ordeal worse than ever. Along the way, she met the Danaïdes, who were the fifty daughters of the king of Argos. By the command of their father, who had been warned by the oracle that his son-in-law would bring his death, they killed all their husbands in one night. Their punishment in the Underworld was to fill with water a vessel full of holes - a never-ending and useless task. Persephone helped them fill the vessels and the water stayed unleaked. But these vessels would empty out as soon as she left.

I murmur with confusion at his terms. "The night the moon sleeps and the stars hide whilst the sky thunders with a wrath is the chosen day the beast shall emerge to claim what is his." "What are you saying, Cronus?" "It is quite simple, Theia. It means something is coming." ~~~ A/N Hello, my little wolves, Hope you enjoyed this chappy! Here are the meanings of Theia's friends' greek names that I researched to match with their outlined status and personality, Aegeus - Protector

They were more than similar than they thought they were not. She was born from Demeter and Zeus and she was favored by her mother, Demeter. The goddess of Agriculture. But Zeus, then the King of the Gods, was ruthless and would not accept no for an answer, he still made her marry off to a hideous being that know nothing but heat and soot and soot and heat.

Like a seventh sense, I know this place holds more secrets and somehow, it’s connected to Lamia. Ashe was the demi-god that came to Lamia in her dreams, the same person is known as Odeia. Ashe is the very same person to who Hunji pledged an oath too. This couldn’t be a coincidence, not when Orion and Silas are mentioned in the same breath.

“He had called on Osyron who licked up the army of Erstonia, turning the tide of the battle in favour of the Axeris and for a while everything was going on smoothly until Osyron turned on the army of Astaroth.” “Nobody knows what Pythias had asked for from Lord Axeris that made him decline and turn his back on Pythias, but it had enraged Pythias so much so that he had cursed them. Osyron was a god of death and he could not be stopped. Lord Axeris had won the battle but now he was loosing and only one person had managed to stop the god of death, but she was able to do that only temporarily.” “A Khione woman?” Xanth asked to which Lillian nodded.
