Laurel Ambers had been running away since she could remember. Abandoned by her parents and no friends to call, she works in an underground business to get through in life. 

Fight to survive, that's her motto. She tries to escape death every time, but one night, its scythe finally reaches her. Her soul has opened the gates of the afterlife. With no escape, she knew time was up. She closed her eyes and uttered her last words.

Everything could have ended at that moment, but time intervenes. The clock of life continued to tick and dragged her back a thousand years into the ancient past. 

In an era she doesn't belong, she knew a single change would disrupt the truth of her time. She must leave. She must find a way home. 

With all the information she gathered about the place and the help of an unlikely ally. It could have been easy. If only she hasn't met a man who never gets tired of expressing his undying love for her. 

"To escape the scythe death, but end up chased by a lovesick fool. Is it luck or curse?"

The Love of Aphrodite - Book 1 by Teah09

Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty is forced into an unwanted marriage the very evening she emerges from the sea. While Hephaestus is not terrible to her, she can't help but be enticed by his forbidden brother, Ares, and the other Gods who send her longing glances. Will she settle for Hephaestus or will she search for more for her own love story? *This story follows along some of Aphrodite's romances while married to Hephaestus. This story will not be a perfect timeline but will however, follow along a rough timeline according to my other book, Hades and Persephone.* *Also, Aphrodite has her faults. A fair amount of faults in fact! If you know her mythology she turns out to be a very vengeful, self-centred, and self-involved Goddess, but this story is all about her slowly progressing throughout her marriage to Hephaestus. A sequel will follow beyond once this marriage ends.* *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.

Percy Jackson and Jason Grace are here to make up the Prophecy of the Seven to defeat Gaea once and for all but not without a stop in Rome.

The Cursed Beauty (BEYNIKA) by itsbarbey_

[ A BEYNIKA STORY ] [SLOW UPDATES] They went to the one witch whose only aim is to destroy me, to bury me and every reminder of me alive. Cursed to the future, due to me knowing my worth, to me not tolerating any disrespect thrown my way. Some call it arrogance and cockiness, I called it empowerment. I was stripped away from my power, my ranks, and my immortality and sent down this land of humans they called Earth. They came together to end me, not knowing where they sent me. Not knowing that from the washed away sandcastles, I'd get to water my seeds and watch them grow through her lenses. I waged wars but she came in and showed me peace. To them, only a mortal she is, one who pictures every memory through her lenses. To me, she was a blessing in disguise, she traded my broken heart for hers, she saw my scars and kissed my crimes. After all, her cursed beauty I was. | DISCLAIMER: All the events and characters taking place in this work of fiction are completely fictional and from my imagination.

Dylan King and His New Roommate Called Goddess Athena [1st Book] by mythloaver

Like anyone else, a 25-year-old mini market worker Dylan King will never think that he will witness the Greek Goddess Athena come out from a yellow lightning spark magically appears in his room. It turns out that the goddess has just managed to free herself from a realm called Kolaseos. This realm has imprisoned her for more than a thousand years, thus making her and her people a myth. As Athena attempts to adjust herself with the present life, her lifelong enemy Medusa also comes out from the same spark, even though the location where it is located is different. Being engaged in a skirmish against the gorgon is inevitable, and it ends up leading Dylan and Athena to find more Greek Gods, who apparently have also come out from Kolaseos too. One of them is Hephaestus, the Greek God of Blacksmith. Later on, Dylan learns that an ex tech billionaire is suspected to have built a machine that will summon and control any creatures or gods still trapped in Kolaseos, with the classic purpose of taking over the world. The suspicion itself is getting stronger with monsters ambushing them and Medusa, making the gods determined to stop the ambitious man. Dylan does not regard it as a problem, until his involvement with them risks him to repeat a tragic past; one that he has actually been trying to hide for the past few years. Dylan is aware that the deeper he is involved will only make the possibility become bigger. However, as he is somehow blessed with the power to shut Kolaseos portal, he can be considered as the most crucial key to gain victory. To make it worse, he later learns that avoiding the conflict will only lead to a future that is way more tragic than he had predicted earlier. Knowing which option he should take, he cannot imagine what will happen to him once the problem is finally solved.

Set Me As A Seal ✓ by outbriefcandle54

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 ------------------------------------------

Persephone Incarnate [Wattpad Prize 2014] | ✔️ by wishuponajinni

[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.
