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 Y/N Saga (Epic the musical × Reader) by Kiiwi_Star
22 parts Ongoing Mature
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 intails? •°• 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! °•°

"Ever played dominoes? Personally I'm no good at it. I have no patience whatsoever. But let's say you set up like fifty dominoes. If someone came along after you'd knocked them all over, they probably wouldn't be able to see the first domino if they were standing near the last domino. They'd have to backtrack to find the domino that started it all. The one that began the chain reaction. It happens in life just like that. One day, you'll find yourself somewhere looking down at a pile of knocked over dominoes. And you have to backtrack in your mind to find that first domino-that first moment that changed everything. You didn't know that day would change your life at the time-it might've seemed completely normal. But looking back on it, it's unmistakable. Looking back on my life so far, I can safely say that September 9th was my first domino."

This will NOT follow the actual story of the Odyssey of Telemachus's actual story, this is just random one-shots. There might be some mature stuff mentioned or language-wise just for the fact of it being ancient Greece, all art on the cover belongs to Gigi. I hope you enjoy!
Greece Odyssey by Cocomonetxos90
24 parts Complete
**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 world
