The ancient tale of the hero and the beast; with a little twist.
"All her life, Medusa felt powerful and fierce; mortals feared her and gods respected her; but that image was a stark antithesis to what she was feeling now. For the first time, she felt powerless and frail. After what Poseidon had done to her, she felt like a tangled ball of thorns, filled with fury, torment, hate and despair. "
Is the hero truly heroic and is the beast truly beastly or were these terms put in place by the Olympians for mortals to simply follow their narrative?

Zelus (Perseus Reimagined) (BXB)
We all know the legendary tale of Perseus-the demigod, son of Zeus, and slayer of Medusa, the half-snake, half-human Gorgon. But what if I told you the story of Perseus isn't what you think? What if he didn't kill Medusa, marry Andromeda, or save her city from the Kraken? What if Perseus had a male lover from our time, the twenty-first century? Jonathan Hank, a troubled young man, can't seem to catch a break. His home is filled with misery, especially from his alcoholic father. He would've taken his own life if not for Alexander, his deceased boyfriend, who showed him that life has its bright moments. After a devastating incident at his younger sister Valerie's birthday party, Jonathan's father takes something precious from him-something that keeps the memory of Alexander alive. This loss drives Jonathan to a fateful encounter with a strange man, or perhaps something else entirely-an entity offering him a wish. A wish he never imagined he'd get, one he's longed for even before meeting Alexander. But is this stranger human? Or is there something darker at play?Complete![The Serpent And The Mouse [A Medusa Love Story]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/384696430-256-k362671.jpg)

From Geneology to war - A compendium of Greek Mythology
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!!
