*Greek* II *Adventure* II *Fantasy* When the notorious Kronos gets bored in reigning his dominion, he begins to think of ways to cause chaos in the world. Just for fun! He unleashes a dragon from one of the Pandora Boxes, which seems to love snacks such as stone, gods, mortals... almost anything it can grasp. After the dragon gulped down the entire pantheon where Kronos stored his scythe, Kronos becomes the laughing stock of the Gods. The scythe is the source of power that makes him savage and spiteful. Without it, he is nothing but a lame being, courteous and complaisant. Imagine a lion that has been scrapped off its dignity, which has now become a kitten that doesn't even have a toy to play with. He feels that humiliation! Hekate, the Goddess of Magic, agrees to summon a party to retrieve his totem. Four children are chosen and tossed into worlds they could only imagine, chasing after the scythe that can't seem to stay put. The gods expect them to fail, providing another stab at Kronos. Now, all they need to do is have some wines, watch and enjoy. After all, Olympus doesn't have much happening until the Summer Solstice. Although they cannot help but meddle now and then.

The Minoan Rhapsody
Olympus had no foresight, clouded by the chaos created by their own. As they struggled from within, the Minoans rose to power. You think you know their stories: King Minos, the Minotaur's labyrinth and the legend of Icarus. To you, they are children's tales. The Minoans, also known as the Keiftu, were real, and they were the first people to challenge the Gods. They would fail, but not because of Olympian intervention. The seeds of their undoing rooted deep below the foundation of their capitol city: Knossos. This is the story of how a boy became King, how he built an empire. This is the tale of Olympus and how the Gods' feuds brought doom and despair, turning an empire to rubble.
