Chares of Lindos is haunted by voices in his head, and war is on it's way to the city he loves. Guided by the god Helios (who has his own motives), Chares begins to construct what will be his greatest creation: The Colossus of Rhodes. This play is presented in the style of traditional greek theatre, but with a few twists. I finished this last year in a stupor while I was stranded on campus for thanksgiving break. Needs MANY more revisions, but I dig it enough to share. Thanks for reading!

The Labyrinth Through Camelot | {COMPLETED}
"So if we don't get there soon, we lose, right? We lose Merlin and Hera will end the world?" "Camelot will end, Greece will end... Even your own world will be gone." 'You knights are our only hope.' Luna's signing really sold it. If they didn't stop Hera soon, the whole world would end. "Alright. What do we have to do?" ********** As far as the world knows, Camelot and ancient Greece never conflicted. Never associated, never spoke, never interacted. In fact, it would be safe to say that the two worlds didn't even exist at the same time. Until they do. An untold story that changes every story you've ever known. The Knights of Camelot rule as kings and queens, the first since the death of the legendary King Arthur. Sharing the duties among the six of them and under the guidance of the warlock, Merlin, these teenagers travel between Camelot and the modern world, the first time travelers, to protect the land they've adopted as their own. The Goddlets are used to living in a world of their own. As the children of the gods, they are used to getting away with whatever they want. Not used to many changes in their quiet world, they aren't prepared for what comes next. When the Knights and the Goddlets are called together on a quest to save Merlin from the clutches of Hera, the queen of the Greek gods, two very different worlds collide in a race against the clock to save the world. With limited time at their hands and everything they know and love at stake, the Knights and the Goddlets team up to put an end to Hera's destructive reign. The worlds of Camelot and ancient Greece collide in this action-packed book. Classic characters meet new faces in a complete retelling of universes people both know and love. {Entered in the Open Novella Contest under prompt 83: "This assignment requires us to act like adults.

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
The Y/N Saga (Epic the musical × Reader)
Seemingly a normal day, dreams are coming horrifyingly true and our dear Y/N doesn't seem to quite understand how in love the gods truly are with them yet. Will futures change and seasons die? Will our dear Y/Ns flower wilt or will they prevail, how about we see what this future entails? (Edit: did NOT mean to make that rhyme but wtv ig?) •°• I was feeling pretty silly fr fr, and ended up writing the first chapter during school and to be frank as soon as I realized how good of a story I was making I knew I had to put it on here! PS: My favorite Saga is the thunder Saga mostly because of the song called Thunder Bringer and it's really good, so are the animatics! Edit: I wasn't expecting it to blow up this much! °•°

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
Epic: The musical tale of Odysseus and the Odyssey
First things first! I do NOT own the rights to Epic the musical. All rights go to Jorge Rivera-Herrans and the cast who sang in it. Please go check them out especially if you have never listened to the musical. This is a FAN retelling of the musical with more details to make it like a novel. Now then, with that out of the way.... In Greek Mythology, there are Tales, Legends, and Myths of Heroes and Tragedies alike. There's one certain tale that I'd like to unveil, one regarding a king and his plight. One of the perilous journeys of Gods, Monsters, and lessons in Ruthlessness and No Mercy. So sit back and enjoy as I tell you the tale of Odysseus and the Odyssey. Check out Epic the musical on YouTube, Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, or wherever you listen to music.Complete![𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐊𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐍 𝟐 [21+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/279548876-256-k833884.jpg)
