ancient-greece ancient-rome ancienthistory history mythology

Hello! I am UK student at College (16-18) that studied Classical Civilization (or also referred to as Ancient History) at A-Level who discovered that the way in which we as an audience view the Classical world is not really the reality of it. In light of this, I thought it would be a good idea to help those who wish to get into the course or just want to know what it is about through a guide. Here I will touch upon the customs, views, mythology, religion and societies of the Ancient world- mainly focusing around Greece and parts of Rome. 

Disclaimer: I am a UK student and have only just finished the course. This means I am not a fully educated or degree level scholar/ historian but I am doing this at University. This means I will only touch upon the things I know that I did in my A-Level course, not every aspect of the Ancient world.All Rights Reserved

Kairos by Throneofglassaddict1

*For fans of Percy Jackson, Greek/Roman mythology and epic historical battles* "In hindsight, knocking someone out with a thousand year old artefact was probably not a good idea." After a run in with her ex sends her catapulting into the past, Adelaide has to navigate the battles she studied in real life, while posing as several historical figures such as Octavia; Octavian of Romes' sister. With the overhanging threat of perpetual reincarnation thanks to the egotistical sun-god Apollo, Adelaide struggles to deal with moral dilemmas about changing the fate of doomed soldiers and finding her way back to her correct time. *I wrote this book as part of my EPQ for school and it is by no means perfect due to the small time frame I had to write it, but I thought I would post it here anyway!*

Beyond One Life by PurelyBloom

Your father had climbed the ranks of the UN to be one of few prestigious people given the privilege of working for people known as VIP delegates: the mysterious, weird, and endearing pseudo-immortals that called themselves countries. Consequently, from toddlerhood to preadolescence, you had come to know and love those people. Now, after years apart, you're following in your father's footsteps to return to their company. But once you arrive, special feelings are beginning to surface for someone in particular. What are you, a mere mortal, supposed to do with this growing flame?

Encyclopaedia Caelumnica by Iarmas

A second companion work to my Tales of the Divine Universe series. It is not essential reading to understand that series but I thought they may be interest to some. They are essentially me showing my working as to how I built different aspects of the Divine Universe in my head, hopefully allowing me to keep it coherent and avoid any of those annoying incidents where the world becomes contradictory. What will be published here will be my detailed notes put into a parodic essay/encyclopaedic form purporting to be from scholars of Caelum. The knowledge here is not necessarily representative as to what is known on Caelum at the time of the events in the first books in the series but will hopefully give some insight (alongside the side stories in The Divine Universe: A True History) into what is going on in the world. Hopefully some of you will enjoy seeing it, and maybe you'll even agree it has helped create a coherent magical/mystical system. I intend to add to this over time as I manage to turn my inchoate handwritten scribbles into something intelligible as lore of the Divine Universe. may add to them over time as I develop further lore, or further questions about them arise which I need to answer to my own satisfaction in order to be able to write the main story. I hope someone other than me may enjoy exposure to my process for creating another world. Please feel free on any of my works to offer criticism, offer feedback or request clarifications additions to this or any other work which would be helpful or enjoyable.

Festival Of The Gods [OLD VERSION] by Minosta

What would you do if, after getting drunk in a party and passing out somewhere you don't remember, you woke up in a cart that is pulled by a horse with two people speaking weird language and wearing white sheets over their bodies? You panic, obviously. Era never believed in Gods and magic. Why? Because it wasn't explained by scientists. She doesn't even change her view when she is thrown down the time hole and back to the ancient Greece -time when people believed in everything, especially Gods of the Olympus. But her talk of "Gods don't exist" lands her into a festival of the Gods - a festival where people marked by one of the Gods of the Olympus fight for their life by performing something sociated with the god that they represent. And she is supposed to survive when she is marked by the God of the Underworld himself. He goes by the name of Hades. 2# in Festival 2018/05/20 123# in Gods 2018/05/26 2# in Ancient Greece 2018/05/31 Cover by PhoenixOfStorys

[OLD] Escaping the Friendzone (Various! Hetalia x Reader) by sleepinwitherensmom

(School AU) (Y/n) (L/n) is a very smart young lady. She always gets good marks on her quizzes and tests. She's nice to everyone and tries to stay positive around her peers/friends/family. However, behind closed doors she tends to break down. She has an older sister with mental health issues and an older brother whom she used to confide in but he moved away and barely visited and talked to his family. This only made the girl's life worse. Her childhood friend and neighbor, Gilbert stopped talking to her as much when he started middle school, but she still hung out with Ludwig. Her mother was always stressed between being a single mom and dealing with her sister. So the girl used her studies and books as an escape method from the real world. Of course she had some friends, but not many really GOOD friends. NOTE: The reader has Situational Depression DISCLAIMER: I do not own Hetalia, the characters, art, or the au. I only own the plot and whatnot. And another issue is that there are a LOT of countries so I can't really do all of them, so the only characters falling for you will be: Francis Bonnefoy (France) Alfred F. Jones (America) Matthew Williams (Canada) Arthur Kirkland (England) Ludwig Beilschmidt (Germany) Gilbert Belischmidt (Prussia) Feliciano Vargas (Italy) Lovino Vargas (Romano) Antonio Fernandez Carriedo (Spain) Ivan Braginski (Russia) I suck at writing a fanfic with more than 10 characters involved unless I REALLY know ALL of the characters. Also I'm sorry I took out Japan and China. Before I started editing they got like zero attention and I felt bad Q_Q I hope you enjoy the story nonetheless and I thank you for taking your time reading this stupidly long description EDIT: If you want to see more interactions with a certain character (doesn't have to be ones you fall for) just let me know!

Saga One by GarioGaluigi

This is a work in progress. It will take a long time and many hiatuses for me to finish it. I intend to complete the first act before December, but I promise nothing more. Not like anyone reads my stuff anyway. I've set the story in an alternate reality. The main inspirations for the world are probably "Castle in the Sky," "Final Fantasy," and "Metropolis." There's a lot of steampunk, and while some thought is put into the logistics of how technology works, I won't focus on it much. Technology is vaguely 19th and 20th century, and it's meant to be Earth, but the geography is slightly different. There are a few other differences in their history, but those will become obvious as you read. Act I: Part I will focus on Julio, a young and ambitious historian from Sainte Marie in Gaul, as he meets Kallista, a Spartan girl. They mix like oil and water, but must learn to work together as the long journey to Athens introduces several obstacles that threaten their safety.
