abstract adultfiction completed fantasy greece greekgods historical mythology newadult play psychological theater theatre

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!All Rights Reserved

"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."

Gen-O by JohnRex987

After the fall of Cronus and the Titans, Greece has become one of the most advanced nations in the ancient world, modernizing at a rate hitherto unseen, thanks in no small part to The Olympians whose influence has sparked the Olympian Generation of Greece. But as Greece enters this new generation of modernity, many humans both good and bad are now finding that they can be the heroes of their own stories, and that they don't always need the Olympians to solve everything. For years the Olympians have run things unopposed but now will have to face the new challenges of a new world that they helped create.

A Mage in Greek Myth by Kneel_Pheasant

After defeating the Demon King and earning her title as a hero, Elise finds herself unexpectedly thrust into a world of Greek mythology-a realm where gods are powerful but neither omniscient nor omnipotent. Among fickle immortals, ancient rivalries, and monstrous foes, Elise must navigate a world ruled by divine politics and chaos. Armed with her magic, courage, and wit, she forges unexpected alliances. As battles rage and secrets unravel, Elise must prove that her mortal strength can rival the power of gods and reshape their world forever. Hence, her fate with gods similar yet different from her own begins. ...... A/n: SELF INDULGENT HAHAHA, BUT I TRY TO RESEARCH(But like kinda surface level research, I havent read any theogony only google, reddit and quora are my source of knowledge) Made because I wanna create a non-harem greek myth self insert who is already powerful without the help of gods and also just wanna save some characters from EPIC THE MUSICAL.)

The Minoan Rhapsody by Al_R_Arce

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.

MYTH-TAKEN IDENTITY - a 2025 ONC novella by StephRose1201

An introverted, recluse gamer accidentally finds out she's the reincarnation of a Greek god/goddess, and is stuck in a world-altering time-loop until she figures out WHICH god/goddess she's destined to become. ***** Ophelia Jones is...well, she's nothing. She asks for nothing. She WANTS nothing. Just to stay in her dark basement-apartment, do her mindless data-entering job by day, play video games by night. She refuses to participate in a real social life, and won't read the news or be active in the LGTBQIA+ scene that she belongs in. No, Ophelia is done giving a sh**. She'd rather live in her fantasy world, ignoring the real world around her. That is, until a mysterious puddle surfaces in her backyard, and she jokingly wonders if it'll be a portal to another world, someplace better - and she falls into it. Oh, she's transported to a new world, all right -- but not a parallel world or an alternate universe. She's transported to the past; into mythology, specifically. Greek mythology, to be even more exact. Because according to Alfie, her "spiritual guide", she's a reincarnated god or goddess, and has to figure out who. Problem? SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT GREEK MYTHOLOGY. ONC prompts 37 + 5
