Greekmythologyretelling Stories

The Crown of Ariadne ✦ For those who have always loved this myth... Her story is more than a myth- it is fire that still burns through centuries, a silence filled with longing, a thread that ties us even now to the secret destinies we try to forget. A chance trip. A summer romance. A glance that becomes a compass-and a heart that didn't know it still had room for faith. Rena thought she had left behind risks and grand promises. But Manos... shows her that some people don't ask if you're ready-they simply wait for you. From Santorini to Rodini, a story about everything we tried to forget, but love always remembers.

A dark and fantastical retelling of the Gods of the Universe. Follow the emergence of the Olympians and their children as they navigate struggles of love, loss, betrayal, death, war, and family.

After a failed attempt to escape The Underworld, Hades is sentenced to a life on Earth as Wesley, with no memory or knowledge of his past life. After becoming friends with an unknowing Persephone (hidden from the locals as Evelyn), Wesley begins to feel there is more to the world. Following an incident, Evelyn brings Wesley to her mother, Demeter, in hopes of healing him, but after suspecting Wesley could in fact be Hades, they are met with difficult decisions.

"I know you will not listen. No one ever really listens. But I will tell you my story anyway, because we are all here--even gods--wandering through the stardust and decaying leaves, the cold marble and mountains, just trying to make sense of what it all means. In the beginning, you should know: the world is not kind to a God of Death." * * * * * * * * * Hades was born into the realm of gods--a glittering world of light and divinity that has never been anything but cruel to him. As he grows from a lonely child of darkness into one of the three great brothers of Olympus, he faces war, hatred, violence, and an ever-growing sense that he does not belong. When he becomes god of the dead, the dark, cold underworld seems like a reprieve--a place he finally belongs. That is, until he goes above ground one day, glimpsing the goddess of spring, and a chance at a kind of life he thought he could never have...

When I was born no one thought much of me. A daughter who happened to come along with a son, like a thorn who comes along with a rose, like rotten fruits who happen to come along with the ripe ones every year during the harvest. They at first thought that the fates not mentioning me in the prophecy concerning my brother was simply a sign of my unimportance. They even choose my name so it could fit his, not the other way around. What if the best of the Greeks were two people? What if Achilles had a twin sister just as skilled in warfare as him? Hello everyone! It's me @Erlina_LS, I unfortunately lost access to my original account so I will continue the story here. Some passages in the early chapters are not owned my me, they were written by Madeline Miller so credits to her. #9 on thesongofachilles on 12/6/2024 #4 on tsoa on 5/12/2025 #5 on thesongofachilles on 5/12/2025 #2 on Theiliad on 19/5/2025 #4 on greekmythologyretelling on 6/7/2025 #3 on greekmythologyretelling on 6/26/2025
