greekmythology mythology pegasus perseus

What if traditional Greek myths were written like YA fantasy novels? This is an anthology of short stories that are retellings of classic myths, in the style of modern fiction. Beginning with "Perseus and Medusa" (or as I like to call it, "The Birth of Pegasus") there will be plenty of romance, bloodshed, and general epicness. If you'd like to suggest a myth, please comment. I'm not going to do Hercules becuase that one's been done, and I think I'll stay away from major epics like the Iliad or Odyssey. I'd prefer to avoid tragedies, but that's not a rule.All Rights Reserved

Designed Destiny by AutumnFrost22

Percy thought her life as an illegal arms dealer trying to pay for passage off the plague-ridden planet Argos was hard enough before the crime lord Medusa turned her girlfriend into stone and assigned her the deadly task of stealing the gods' Third Eye. Now she must travel into uncharted space with Medusa's main hitman hovering over her shoulder and dodge bullets from some wacked-wired androids trying to bump her off for unknown reasons. Meanwhile, Persephon -social media prince- is kidnapped from home and is captured in the Underworld where there is not only no interweb connection and no natural lighting for selfies, but also demented demon spirits that haven't been fed demigod soul in over an eon or two, and the ringmaster of this freak-show is the estranged Olympian Hades who seems to be the only creature in the galaxy that hasn't liked or reposted any of Persephon's profile pics. Elsewhere, Helen of Sparta struggles to fit in with her adopted family due to her unnatural feature-shifting abilities that the fam insists on keeping a secret. So she's really putting her antiperspirant to the test when she's set to take the throne as Ruler of Sparta to honor her mother's wishes all while putting her own dreams on pause. Heracles, meanwhile, feels like he's stuck in a high-stakes juggling game with hospital bills to pay, illegal-street racing calling his name, and his crush Megara still hating his guts; and then his luck goes from bad to worse when his android best friend introduces him to Spike, a low-key serial killer and a high-profile android racer with a reputation for never losing, or missing the next target's head who happens to be guess who? Heracles, of course. What none of the demigods know though is that their galaxies are all about to collide, new friends will be kinda made, and backs will definitely be getting stabbed.

The Queen Below by bitysmith

A retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, a story of fate, the struggle for power, and love found in the most unexpected places. ***** Persephone has been raised in Olympus all her life - her mother absent, her father a cruel king, with her siblings teaching her all they know. She has seen all of what the gods and goddesses do and she is sick of it. When she learns her safety is threatened by staying in Olympus, she flees to the Underworld. There she stays until she learns that her leaving has caused the world to wilt. But leaving behind her newfound friends and Lady of the Underworld is something she will not do willingly, no matter the consequences.

Darkness To The Kore by peace_love_unicorns

Death is what comes to people like a thief in the night, snatching them with no intentions of bringing them back. Death is a nagging parent that you try to outsmart time and time again but no matter how many times you may think you have outsmarted them, in the end they will have the last word. Death is the old friend that nobody likes and yet you cannot live without. Death is many things but I never thought it would be my lover. Kore lives alone with her controlling mother, Demi. She hasn't seen any other person besides her homeschool teacher since she was a little girl after a mysterious incident happened at school one day that her mother refuses to talk to her about. She keeps her locked away on a farm and only lets her go out occasionally. It isn't until her cat dies and after picking him up, becomes alive again when she realizes why her mother has locked her away for all these years. She discovers she has the gift of healing. When she confronts her mother about it, her mother reveals to her that they are not human but in fact, Goddesses trapped inside human vessels to protect Kore from the Gods who want to marry her. But things only get worse when one day, as Kore is picking flowers in the meadow, there is an earthquake and she is taken up by this earthquake and falls into the arms of none other than Hades. A modern re-imagining of the story of Persephone.

Persephone Incarnate [Wattpad Prize 2014] | ✔️ by wishuponajinni

[COMPLETED - ONLY MINORLY EDITED] ******************************************************** Greek myths - true or false? They should be false, and to 16-year-old Sophie Claire, it's never crossed her mind that they aren't. Until one day in History class when her teacher spends a day on Greek mythology and something strange starts happening - her friends and classmates begin to tell myths about certain Greek deities with frightening precision. And for some reason, she's began to feel a certain affinity for Persephone, the Greek maiden who was kidnapped by Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, and forced into a marriage with him. This isn't some coincidence or freak dream, she later finds out from a host of strange individuals who claim they're from Olympus, the grandoise home of the gods themselves. She is actually a modern reincarnation of the goddess Persephone, and she's not the only one. A few of her classmates also happen to represent the gods and goddesses from popular Greek myths, and the fact that all of them are present means that something monumental is about to happen. Something like being the girl to change Persephone's future, to break the cycle of kidnapper and victim - all by passing a trial. It won't be simple, she knows, and she's not quite that eager to take it up, but from the moment she found out that she was Persephone, there was no way to back out. She should've known, however, that dealing with all powerful, immortal deities wasn't going to be easy. They've got a few secrets and personality flaws up their sleeves, and they could be deadly. More than deadly - murderous.

From Geneology to war - A compendium of Greek Mythology by AsterSxh368

A helpful guide to Greek mythology including the primordials, titans, gods, goddesses, monsters, heroes and more! Things to note about this story is that since I'm writing about real historical mythology, there is of course many, many, different variations, retellings and plots in existence for each one of the myths so I will do my best to comment on and add in variations when necessary, though in some cases I may just stick with the most common, my favorite or the most historically accurate depictions! "If this is just the original myths can't I just go on Theoi?" Well I try to recount all of the myths in an accurate but easy to understand way, which is quite difficult other places, though if you have any questions about anything, please just ask!!

THE RISE OF THE VETERES by Oronno123

**I'll try to publish a chapter monthly, but colleges and horrendous professors keep me occupied. Also, don't read this on webnovel - that's where I make edits to the story after reading it like a reader - so what I write there will not be a part of the story. Some people say the Greek gods were myths, but they're indeed real. Their children grow up to be heroes, some even becoming famous in the mortal world. However, if the gods exist, then so do the monsters and all those ancient beings from eons ago. One of them, a Titan, is eager to strike rise from the depths of Tartarus and get his revenge on the gods. This Titan's son, Yiannis, a fourteen-year-old boy, is just as dissatisfied with the gods. He agrees to help his father overthrow the Titans and help him ascend to become King of Olympus and the world. However, Yiannis learns something incredible along the way - a hidden ecosystem of hidden monsters deep in the Earth who worship a pantheon of gods that predated the Greeks - just who are they?

Manufactured for sin (Blood of the Gods) by GizzyGreggarious

A Love triangle of ancient alien origins, this "pair" of 3 retired demigods (not a typo) take a romantic vacation to rekindle their potentially polygamous marriage. They embark to have a relaxing time, casual fun and couples nights at a fancy resort set in ancient times. None of that shit works out. This tale of warfare, murder, a struggle to survive and the meaning of love, sends these battered demigods into a world of bigger, badder, more vicious gods and monsters that will stop at noting for blood and vengeance, world domination and chaos. Through Egyptian, Greeco-Roman, Norse, Dane mythology and more, this trifecta of confused lovers must divide and conquer, kill and unite to get back home in what can only be described as the worst vacation that could possibly happen to them. Join them in faraway lands, ancient kingdoms and even actual hell, as they gear up for war and show what they are made of...mostly radioactive metals and blue goop, but also courage and love. WARNING: This version contains sex scenes. If you don't want that, but still want the love story and the violence, then check out Adrian Ozryth, for the cleaner version. Same story, no direct sex, and even the first book's cleaner version. Don't get left out, humans!

The Retold Greek Myths | ✓ by fandomsarehorcruxes

In this retelling of Greek myths, Eden Hills, with some (a lot of) help from Apollo, narrates the (supposedly) true myths in place of the twisted tales you learned in sixth grade.

DIVINE - A Persephone And Hades Retelling by ebonyyclarke

"I've told you, Hades, I can not become your mistress." she sadly told him. She had always lived in her mother's shadow, and if she followed Hades, she would once again be living in another's shadow. Even though she loved him, she did not think she could stomach it. "I do not want you to be my mistress, Persephone, I want you to be my queen," he confessed to her. She snapped her head up to meet his eyes, searching for any sign he wanted to take his words back, but there was no remorse. And just like that, she fell ever so slightly more in love with him. "Your queen?" she asked, she had to be sure. Strangely the word had slid off her tongue gracefully as if it had belonged there. "Yes, become my queen," he told her once again, taking back the step she had taken. "Rule besides me as the goddess of spring and the Underworld." The words don't seem to make sense in her mind. --- Further description in the book --- #1 - MYTH RETELLING (as of October 1st, 2021) #1 - GODDESS OF SPRING (as of Nov 23rd, 2021) #1 - HADES TOWN (as of Jan 13th, 2022) #1 - HADES AND PERSEPHONE (as of Feb 9th, 2022) #1 - GREEK MYTHOLOGY (as of March 29th, 2022) #1 - QUEEN OF THE UNDERWORLD (as of April 4th, 2022) #1 - PERSEPHONE AND HADES (as of April 20th, 2022) #1 - GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD (as of April 20th, 2022) #1 - KING OF THE UNDERWORLD (as of Dec 22, 2022) #2 - HECATE (as of Nov 4th, 2021) #2 - DEMETER (as of Jan 29th, 2022) #2 - KING AND QUEEN (as of Feb 21st, 2022) #2 - PERSEPHONE (as of Sep 20th, 2023) #3 - GREEK MYTH (as of May 6th, 2022) #4 - MYTH (as of April 21th, 2022) #4 - RETELLING (as of May 10th, 2022) #4 - UNDERWORLD (as of 26th, 2023) #6 - HADES (as of April 8th, 2022) #6 - DIVINE (as of May 6th, 2022) #41 - OLYMPIANS (as of Feb 9th, 2021) #55 - GREEK (as of May 8th, 2022) #61 - OLYMPUS (as of May 8th, 2022)
