"Sing, O Muse, of the light of Icarus, son of Daedalus, which brought everlasting peace to the sorrowful humans who have never known such serenity nor comfort, who have offered their songs and dances to the all-seeing, all-knowing Apollon, and how their souls will soar to beautiful Elysium, guided by the tragedy reborn artist! And tell me, Muse, how beauty has been reinvented on the blooming grounds of Ikaria, land of the fallen, land of the free. Show me these wanders, Calliope, and I shall plant my feet onto this green grass, I shall inhale the fresh air of Ikaria and cherish these people for the rest of my life."
A story set in Ancient Greece, whose protagonist is Icarus. Chosen by Apollon as his favourite mortal and his lover, Icarus spreads the word of Apollon to the people of Ikaria together with Dahlia, Apollon's Oracle. Word spreads across the wide Greece that Ikaria is a land as peaceful as Elysium and that Apollon's love protects it. Could this paradise ever be ruined?

Greece Odyssey
**Book Summary: Greece Odyssey** Amid the tranquil coastal village of Elysia, a young fisherman named Leonidas dreams of adventure beyond the shimmering horizon. Fate, however, has designs greater than his dreams. When the muse Calliope descends from Olympus, draped in a cloak woven from the light of the stars, she reveals to Leonidas his role in an age-old prophecy-one that speaks of a mortal who will stand against the turbulent tides of godly strife. Guided by Calliope's celestial wisdom, Leonidas embarks on a treacherous odyssey to secure the blessings of the gods. His journey tests his mettle and resolve as he faces mythical beasts, cunning adversaries, and his own inner demons. Along the way, he crosses paths with the likes of Athena, Hermes, Medusa, Circe, and more, each encounter leaving an indelible mark on his soul. As Leonidas' legend grows, so too does the tumult among the gods of Olympus. Zeus, seated atop the divine pantheon, observes the mortal's progress with a mixture of trepidation and intrigue. In a climactic assembly of the gods, a decision is reached that will forever alter the fate of both realms-a decision that beckons Leonidas toward an ultimate confrontation. Leonidas' quest culminates in a cataclysmic clash of gods and titans, where the threads of fate converge and diverge with every heartbeat. As the young hero confronts his own limits, he must also confront the malevolent deity who has manipulated the very fabric of existence. With courage forged in the crucible of trials, Leonidas rises to a destiny beyond imagination. In a world where the divine and mortal realms intersect, where power and virtue collide, "Echoes of Olympus" weaves an epic tapestry of heroism, sacrifice, and the unbreakable ties between humanity and the gods. As the constellations blaze overhead, the story's echoes resonate through time, a reminder that the echo of one mortal's valor can ripple across the cosmos, forever shaping the worldComplete

The Not-So-Sunny Sun God [An Artemis And Apollo Story]
It takes six months to lose your immortality. Six grueling months of pain and fear. Follow my take on what may have happened during the six months Apollo went silent.... also included! (Also the main story) An alternate scenario where Artemis found Apollo during those six months and was Mad™ Artemis was worried. She was worried of what Zeus may be doing to Apollo. She knew it was foolish to be nervous, her brother WAS immortal after all. She was finished wasting her time worrying about the annoying sun god that was her brother, so she decided she was going to find him and punch him for making her worry... What she found made her feel sick to her godly stomach. okay basically I wrote this oneshot a long time ago and I was going thru my Google drive and I found it and then I was like OH I COULD MAKE AN AU OF THAT so I made a semi good Apollo Artemis hurt comfort thing and yeah Apollo and Artemis fluff ensures Now includes my random Godly Twin Drabbles! Enjoy!Complete
The Fall of Icarus (Book 1 in the Apollo series)
"The wind in his hair felt nice. It was cooling against the sun and wax that had been burning his back. It reminded him of every moment he sat alone on the window ledge of Minos' tower, praying for some kind of deliverance. Yet, it also reminded him of every moment he sat on the window ledge next to Apollo; he remembered the feeling of Apollo's soft fingers running through his hair, he could remember the feeling of his head against Apollo's chest, listening to his heartbeat. In those moments, he almost felt human." * For a long time, Icarus thought he was alone. Until one night, the world showed him he wasn't. #1st place in the Hip Generation Awards #2nd place in the lgbt category of the Creator's Choice Awards 2020 #1st place in the Atlas Awards 2021 LGBTQ+ categoryComplete

Spark | B1| #wattys2019 |✓
PLEASE NOTE THAT SPARK HAS NOTHNG TO DO WITH PERCY JACKSON. Seventeen-year-old Icarus Olsson never really thought much about his namesake, due to the fact that his father was a Greek Mythology professor that worked at the local city university. After waking up countless times to phantom burns and fevers, Icarus didn't expect to pass out from heat exhaustion one autumn day at school and be greeted with the sight of a handsome man he swore he had seen a long time ago...in another life possibly. Seeing him every time he closed his eyes to sleep, and waking with more burns than usual, Icarus wondered if he was being lured by Apollo. Learning that he was the reincarnation of the original Icarus and the Fates had intertwined his string with Apollo's, in order for them to never be separated again, Icarus knew that he would succumb to the lure of Apollo eventually.

Set Me As A Seal ✓
A time-traveling god. A mortal stuck in Ancient Greece. They have always been able to hear each other's thoughts, across time and space; the only problem is, they were never supposed to meet. Until they did. And it unravelled the balance of everything. ₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪ The immortal Greek god Evgenis' only job is to travel through time, making sure humanity stays on its course. This is what he was born to do. He was meant to be machine-like, cold, and detached from humanity - ready to invoke bloodshed as needed. His ability to follow through with his duty, however, is disrupted when he forms a mysterious internal bond with a mortal. You see, the Goddess of Love had a different idea for her son's future. Seeing the cruelty of the gods around her, she formed the unborn Evgenis with a secret gift: an eternal inner bond with a mortal. She chose Tharos - named for the strength of his heart - an Ancient Greek villager living an unassuming, simple life. This connection, she prayed, would keep Evgenis' moral compass and conscience strong. He would not end up like the others. No one could anticipate, though, just how powerful and disruptive this bond would grow to be. ------------------------------------------ "Set me as a seal upon your heart... for love is as strong as death." - Song of Solomon, 6:8 ------------------------------------------Complete
