'Zeus: The Autobiography' is a historical satire dictated by a deity to a mortal ghost writer who may have mixed motives.
Zeus emerges to share the truth of the universe and his life. He boasts of absolute power and knowledge yet struggles with family, sex, romance, loss, middle age, usurpers, and other ongoing hassles of running the universe. Zeus seems oblivious to female forces that hold as much or more influence than he does. He takes us through creation to his birth in exile to leading the war against older gods to the peculiar origin of mortals to ancient history to early Christianity.
He claims to still command the universe and protect mortals, yet why did he withdraw from view just as selfish trickster forces started to lead the world astray?
I have studied Greek mythology, the Classical period, and Christian history for decades. I strive to amuse readers with both dry and ripe wit while inspiring compassion and skepticism.

King of the Gods: The Titanomachy
Imagine this: You're just a college student, buried in mythology textbooks and caffeine, dreaming of becoming a world-class expert on ancient gods and forgotten legends. That was my life-simple, grounded, normal. Then I died. No warning, no grand exit. Just darkness. Game over. Or so I thought. Because next thing I know, I'm standing before her-Veritas. A cosmic being with eyes like galaxies and a voice that shakes the soul. She didn't ask. She didn't explain. She just chose me... and sent me back as Hades. Yes, that Hades-the Greek god of the Underworld. You'd think my mythology degree would give me an advantage. Spoiler: it didn't. The myths? Twisted. The stories? Half-true at best. And the gods? They're nothing like the sanitized tales we tell. They're ancient, powerful, and terrifyingly real. Now I'm a mortal soul trapped in a divine body, caught in a web of politics, monsters, forgotten laws, and secrets older than time. No guidebook. No second chances. Just me, trying to survive in a world where every mistake could spark a war. Think you know the gods? Trust me-you don't. Open the book. Step into my shadow. And see what it really means to be a god.Concluida

𝒟𝒾𝓋𝒾𝓃𝒾𝓉𝓎/-/FEM-READER X GREEK MYTHOLOGY/-/
The stories of the past always fascinated you. Particularly, stories about how ancient people saw the world, how they interpreted what was happening and why. This is what led you to Greek mythology. Now, you never believed in Greek mythology, or any religions to be honest. But honoring it brought comfort to you. Or maybe it was just doing weird rituals, to be honest. You were still doing weird rituals before you got into mythology. But either way, this is what led you to the incident. One moment, you are worshiping your wizard Furby that you jokingly call "The Oracle", and the next you find yourself in Mount. Olympus, home of the gods. A/N: I don't usually write straight people so we'll see how long it takes before I cave and Y/N starts crushing on all the goddesses
Shadow of the Triple Goddess(Percy Jackson x Male Reader)
In a world ruled by gods and Olympians, Hecate-the goddess of magic and witchcraft-fell in love with a devoted mortal. From their union came Y/n, a boy unlike any other. She cherished him, wanting only the best for him, but the world didn't share her love. Labeled an outcast for being different, Y/n never fit in. He was sluggish and drained during the day yet bursting with energy under the moonlight. Schools rejected him, kids avoided him, but Y/n never minded-until loneliness crept in, whispering that maybe he did want friends after all. His life takes a turn when his father reveals the impossible truth: his mother is a goddess. Then, a strange man with goat legs shows up, telling Y/n he's a demigod and must leave for Camp Half-Blood. Just as he's beginning to adjust to this new world, another boy arrives-a boy tied to a prophecy that could change the fate of Olympus itself. Thrust into a whirlwind of monsters, magic, and ancient secrets, Y/n must navigate the chaos of demigod life while uncovering the true depths of his own power and his mother's legacy. Because being different? That might just be the key to saving them all. (Percy x Male reader)

Hades Rewound (Hades Series #2)
*to be edited: please excuse any continuity errors and / or mistakes in regards the writing quality of Hades* You could say that a lot has happened to Evie Autumn over the past few years. 1. Her best friend died (kind of ) and she found out that everyone she knew were immortal-walking-on-the-earth Greek gods. 2. She fell in love with the ruler of Hell (kind of) and agreed to become his new Queen. 3. She battled jealous sea gods and scary titans; a big fight which really, all could have been avoided with a big family therapy session. Yup, life sure was calmer than it had been in a while. Not that Evie missed the chaos or anything; she totally loved sitting around all day with the love of her life, alternating between telling people how to live their afterlives and telling Hades that he really needed to educate his Disney movie knowledge. But then that serene bubble was shattered when, once again, her life was maliciously twisted out of proportion right in front of her; and on her wedding day, no less. Once again, Evie must race against the clock to save the love of her life - and the world, of course - before time runs out; but this time, the stakes are much higher. This time, it's not just the fate of the world on the line. It's Evie's heart too. [Ranked #76 in Teen Fiction on 05.10.16] [OFFICIAL HADES SEQUEL]Concluida
