Crete is a land of great history that can be traced back to the first myths and legends. According to Greek mythology, Cronus had several children with Rhea but swallowed them as soon as they were born because he believed that he was destined to be overcome by his own son, as he had done to his father. When Zeus was about to be born Rhea sought out a plan to save him so that Zeus would not be swallowed by his father as his siblings were. When Rhea gave birth to Zeus in Crete she handed to Cronus a rock wrapped in swaddling clothes making him believe that it was his unborn son which he immediately swallowed. Rhea then hid Zeus in the Diktaean Cave and spared his life from his father. As the years progressed fate came into play and Zeus received retribution for his siblings and overturned his father's thrown. Zeus then became "The Father of Gods and Humans".

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.Complete
Living a Lie
A time back in ancient Greece, where gods and goddesses existed, there was a group of kids who had their true heritage hidden away from them. For they were not born of just Greek gods and goddesses, they also had parents of a different religion, whether it be Nordic or Egyptian. And that wasn't accepted in Greece, no that was something worth killing for. Sorry the description of this story is so crappy, I promise that it is a lot better than what the description entails. And I do plan on writing a sequel soon which will be ten times better than this one, I hope.Complete
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

FOREVER MINE (The Prequel to the Sins of the past) "They say destiny is an invisible thread. I didn't realize mine was a noose." For four years, Maina was nothing more than pixels and light. A digital god I worshipped from a distance. I was the girl in the shadows, a medical student in Istanbul mending hearts while mine belonged to a stranger. Then he noticed me. I thought my dreams were coming true, but the man who stepped off the screen wasn't the "Zeus" I'd imagined. He was cold, ruthless, and haunted by a past as dark.

♠️ C O M P L E T E D ♠️ Enjoy x ••• My sleep was disturbed by a low mumbling. I opened my eyes and looked around. It was still dark out. I looked up to see if Evander was still awake but what I saw made me scream. Evander's blue eyes were glowing and fangs were hanging out of his mouth. He seemed to be mumbling something but I couldn't understand what he was saying. "What the fuck?!" I gasped. Any tiny ounce of sleep I once had was gone as I desperately searched for something to use as a weapon. I found a broken tree branch and lifted it up. "Evander?" I called. His eyes snapped shut and his fangs shrank as I jumped back. He opened his eyes again and looked at me in horror. "Althea?! What are you doing with that?!" He asked incredulously He must not know what his body was doing wherever he was. I ignored it.
