"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?

Set Me As A Seal ✓ by outbriefcandle54

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 ------------------------------------------

Spark | B1| #wattys2019 |✓ by EmmyDana

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.
