Waking up and not knowing who or where you are is terrifying. But for her, it's completely normal. Relying on her own wit and strength and a journal found in her bag, revealing her self-given name; Dea. She must resume her journey of revenge for herself and her father, Prometheus. Zeus has cursed her father centuries ago where every day he will die only to heal at night and wake the next morning. This curse was passed down on to Dea though slightly less harsh. She only dies once a year.
After trying to fight Zeus to demand he release the curse and allow then her and her father into Olympia without fear of the other Olympian gods and titans, she lost and was murdered by Zeus while all of Olympia watched.
"Last thing I remember was Zeus laughing at me while the air got cold, him snapping his fingers and then... I was on the ground staring with blurry vision everyone walking away, for centuries I'll hear his voice as he whispers my curse in my ear, "on this day for the rest of you pathetic life, you'll die, but, you'll wake up and remember nothing. May your defeat and your father failing to be there forever be the last thing you remember. Enjoy this next year while you can." Then He was gone and it was black as I again died, knowing I failed and now bear my own curse. I closed my eyes with the promise that I will remember but it won't stop me, I may not know my name, I don't know my age. But I know I have a mission to fulfill and there's nothing that will stop me from completing it. I'll find away to get my memories back and I'll find my family. I will return to Olympia, all the gods and titans will remember who I am and who I defeated. I have nothing but time. Dying is easy, I'm not scared of death. I will win."

Hades and Persephone
Persephone has already been kidnapped by Hades, her unwanted and unexpected suitor. Demeter has already cast a famine on all the humans in her grief. Hades struggles to win Persephone over...but perhaps Persephone has always been meant to be with him, and she wasn't an innocent as she was thought she was... Moderate explicit parts. *not finished* "Look, Persephone, you're a reasonable Goddess, more reasonable than most. You have to understand I was not born the Lord of the Underworld. The title was appointed to me because I was the unlucky one. My job is just as important as my brother's jobs. I wasn't selected because of my cruel ways but now because of the way people speak of me and fear me now I am the cruel one whether or not I like it. Do you honesty think it is fair that it should work that way? People take one look at me and assume I'm the devil." Persephone crouches back in her seat. I realize I am standing and seat myself, trying to calm myself. "Do you honestly think that being in charge of the dead and judging them makes me undeserving of love, of a wife? I'm doomed to be exiled down here. I don't even have the sun to keep me warm, Persephone. You're all the sun I have..." *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.Complete
Poseidon's Academy
Getting sucked into a whirlpool, sleeping in monster-infested woods, and battling psycho sea-nymphs was not how Hailey planned to spend her first year of high school. But when you're the only Zeus in the world, life tends to get a bit complicated... The Great Battle saw the world changed forever when humans killed the gods and absorbed their powers. One power was coveted above all others: Zeus's. Thirteen-year-old Hailey Woods is the first Zeus in over a century. Unlike everyone else, she hates her powers because of an ancient prophecy that claims a Zeus will have to save the world someday. Hailey doesn't want to save the world. She wants to be a normal teenager, whose biggest dilemma in life is deciding what to eat for lunch, rather than training to become the ultimate weapon. Poseidon's Academy, an underwater palace where her powers don't work, was meant to give her that opportunity. But when she arrives, she discovers the sea-nymphs living there are plotting to resurrect the gods, and Hailey must find a way to stop them before they can enact the prophecy. So much for normal!Complete
Fingers stained black
Many forget that the goddess of love was born from the raging sea, but she would do anything to protect her daughter. Adora was Aphrodite's last daughter. Her mother kept her hidden. But, her mother isn't the only one who can keep a secret, especially in a world where your role in society is everything. For there was a prophecy long before she was born: 'Aphrodite's last child would be the one to take the throne, Her paternity unknown. They would carve her face and never forget, for she would be the most beautiful that they had met Cursed for the same fate as her mother Forced to leave her love for another The only way she shall break this curse is if she defeats the first' "Looks like the princess doesn't need saving after all." He says, quietly enough that no one else would hear, as he draws his hand away from my arm. I glare back at him. "Maybe she never did," I walk away, not sparing a single glance back, no matter how much my body was begging me to. I fuss over my hair, pouting as I run my fingers through it to put it back into place. *A warning note* I am not an expert on Greek Mythology, but it interests me greatly. Please excuse any inaccuracies in the book, but if there are any please do message or comment it and I will see if I can change it without making such a huge difference to the plot. Also, my main character is autistic and the experience will be different for everyone. I have tried my hardest to put down on paper how I feel and how I believe others see me. So, please be respectful about the decisions my characters make as I have chosen to give them many different types of neurodivergent brains. I have tried my best to represent these in the most accurate light whilst not romanticising them.Complete
Hope for the Underworld
'In a single terrifying moment the heavens roared with a deafening crack of thunder, and the wind howled in a bone-chilling frenzy, as if someone was screaming in agony and unbearable anguish. In response, the earth recoiled in shock; the ground shook violently, jolting her off her feet. As the tremors intensified, a great chasm ripped open, devouring everything in its path and swallowing her in an instant. In a heartbeat, she plummeted into the shadowy abyss, consumed completely by the darkness. Then, the great void closed again, cutting off the sound of her terrified voice, leaving no trace of her presence there...' A retelling of the timeless love story of Hades and Persephone.

Hades and Persephone: A Fated Love
"You can have anything you want," He plucked the ripest for me from the tree. "Everything in my world is yours." With all of my mother's warnings, I had been afraid to eat from his table or drink his wine. These were binding things, and I would starve myself thin before Hades and I were tied together by communion. But in the light of this garden, it didn't seem as dangerous as it had in the dark. "I feel your wanting," he murmured and pressed half a pomegranate into my palm. Being in Hades's underworld for so long threatened to consume me. "Please. I shouldn't," I whispered. "Shouldn't," he repeated. "Why, Persephone? Because it is against the rule of the gods?" "No," I breathed. "If I cross this line, I don't know what will become of me." "Let me show you." ................................ 🥇#1 Retellings 🥇 #1 Kore 🏅#10 GreekComplete

🕊 On the sun-baked island of Myrene lives Y/N, a farmer's daughter whose world has never reached beyond the hills and olive groves. She knows nothing of Olympus, nor of the jealous eyes that linger in the heavens. Yet the moment she defies the king's decree that all maidens be taken to the palace for forced marriage, her quiet rebellion cracks the veil between gods and men. As she flees into the wilderness, every divine power and mortal tyrant begins to covet her-some to worship, some to possess, and some to destroy. Storms still when she prays for wind; flowers rise where her feet touch earth. The immortals call it prophecy, but to Y/N it is only survival. Haunted by princes turned to ash, hunted by beasts that crave her presence, she wanders through ruined temples and living forests, pursued by gods who mistake fascination for love. Unarmed, unblessed, and unbowed, she becomes the one thing Olympus cannot master: a mortal who refuses to kneel. In the end, the tale of Y/N of Myrene is not a romance but a warning- that even the gods bleed when a human dares to say no. 🕊![Persephone Incarnate [Wattpad Prize 2014] | ✔️](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/12228220-256-k368514.jpg)
Persephone Incarnate [Wattpad Prize 2014] | ✔️
[COMPLETED - ONLY MINORLY EDITED] ******************************************************** Greek myths - true or false? They should be false, and to 16-year-old Sophie Claire, it's never crossed her mind that they aren't. Until one day in History class when her teacher spends a day on Greek mythology and something strange starts happening - her friends and classmates begin to tell myths about certain Greek deities with frightening precision. And for some reason, she's began to feel a certain affinity for Persephone, the Greek maiden who was kidnapped by Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, and forced into a marriage with him. This isn't some coincidence or freak dream, she later finds out from a host of strange individuals who claim they're from Olympus, the grandoise home of the gods themselves. She is actually a modern reincarnation of the goddess Persephone, and she's not the only one. A few of her classmates also happen to represent the gods and goddesses from popular Greek myths, and the fact that all of them are present means that something monumental is about to happen. Something like being the girl to change Persephone's future, to break the cycle of kidnapper and victim - all by passing a trial. It won't be simple, she knows, and she's not quite that eager to take it up, but from the moment she found out that she was Persephone, there was no way to back out. She should've known, however, that dealing with all powerful, immortal deities wasn't going to be easy. They've got a few secrets and personality flaws up their sleeves, and they could be deadly. More than deadly - murderous.Complete
