Tidal Wave (Luke Castellan) by Phoenix_Ninja_3

When I was young, I was always told that everyone loved a tragic Greek love story. Orpheus and Eurydice. Apollo and Hyacinth. Hero and Leander. Achilles and Patroclus. I had asked my mother why so many of those stories didn't have happy endings. She just gave me a grim smile and told me how the world of the gods was tricky. There was a lot about it that I didn't understand yet. That was 13 years ago. I think I understand it now.

Darkness To The Kore by peace_love_unicorns

Death is what comes to people like a thief in the night, snatching them with no intentions of bringing them back. Death is a nagging parent that you try to outsmart time and time again but no matter how many times you may think you have outsmarted them, in the end they will have the last word. Death is the old friend that nobody likes and yet you cannot live without. Death is many things but I never thought it would be my lover. Kore lives alone with her controlling mother, Demi. She hasn't seen any other person besides her homeschool teacher since she was a little girl after a mysterious incident happened at school one day that her mother refuses to talk to her about. She keeps her locked away on a farm and only lets her go out occasionally. It isn't until her cat dies and after picking him up, becomes alive again when she realizes why her mother has locked her away for all these years. She discovers she has the gift of healing. When she confronts her mother about it, her mother reveals to her that they are not human but in fact, Goddesses trapped inside human vessels to protect Kore from the Gods who want to marry her. But things only get worse when one day, as Kore is picking flowers in the meadow, there is an earthquake and she is taken up by this earthquake and falls into the arms of none other than Hades. A modern re-imagining of the story of Persephone.

My Marriage to the Lord of the Dead (M.M.L.D)[EDITING] by booksindalibrary

Hades got me out of Algebra, which is a big deal. It does my head in. But, he kidnapped me and took me to the Underworld all because Persephone has faded away. And he's making me love him. After meeting gods and goddesses, finding my parents were dead then not dead, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love casting a spell over me, it turns out he's making me love him. So, naturally, I want freedom. Is that too much to ask?

Dahlia by dec3rd

Amor Eterno. Beautiful words with great effect which made people instantly smile upon hearing them yet the feeling was unsettling. He was convinced that 'eternal love' did exist. And that had been the reason why he was still living in the grief that was hugging him tightly. Specifically when that day came, planting the genuine feeling from the deep pit inside his gut, which made him think she was originally his Dahlia.

Eurydice by thinkingsilver16

Greek Stories #1 We know about Orpheus and his magical music, but what about his wife Eurydice? The first in the series of novellas, Eurydice tells a tale of a half-nymph going through the Underworld and putting all her trust in a man to lead her out of it. But will he look back?

Hell Is An Empty Body (Book Two of The Triple Moon's Chronicles) - ON HOLD by AnnamitaMuscaria

In this reimagining of the Myth of Sisyphus, the King of the Underworld is trapped in the mortal realm, leaving the world in an unprecedented predicament; only his queen will do whatever it takes to free him from his past demons and save humankind. Book II of The Triple Moons' Chronicles *** Down under the earth, in a world between death and legends, once lived a king caged in his own guilts. He was Hades. The provider of the afterlife, whom everyone, including the gods, feared. They all dreaded him, as none wanted to end up alone like him, but one day a mortal man named Sisyphus managed to capture him. He chained and locked Hades inside a pouch, leaving him to rot between his demons and his true love. Persephone was there heartbroken and fitted into his throne instead. He left her behind to rule the underworld on her own but when the king never came back, she took up arms. How long could she last against Hades' immortal enemy? Could she also save the world and restore death upon mortals? But most importantly could she find Hades and take him back with her in time without ever telling him the new secret she bore within her? *** CW: While written in a lyrical style, this story is advised for mature audiences only.

Hell Is An Empty Heart (Book One of The Triple Moon's Chronicles) by AnnamitaMuscaria

A goddess is taken to the underworld as the king's bride; her father knew everything and her mother knew nothing. In this retelling of the Hymn of Demeter, mother and daughter will do whatever it takes to free themselves, no matter the cost. Book I of The Triple Moons' Chronicles * Up in the sky, in a world between myths and lies, lives a daughter caged on an island. She is Persephone. The beautiful Persephone, whom every Olympian god wants to marry-they all want her beauty to conceal their ugliest secrets, but only Hades manages to take her to his realm. He dwells below the earth, across the river Styx, between Tartarus and the Isle of Blest. No mortals can see his forbidden land until they pass away. Forced into marriage by her father Zeus, Persephone would resign from her fate. But when her grieving mother, Demeter, comes close to killing all the mortals, Zeus orders her back to her homeland. Given and returned against her will, Persephone takes charge of her life and eats six pomegranate seeds before leaving. Food from the underworld can't be eaten as it will tie one to the land. As her decision pushes her closer together and apart from her loved ones, Persephone's destiny turns worse. Only she may have the power to change her world for the better. *** CW: While written in a lyrical style, this story is advised for mature audiences only.

Hope for the Underworld by MDVidgen

'In a single terrifying moment the heavens roared with a deafening crack of thunder, and the wind howled in a bone-chilling frenzy, as if someone was screaming in agony and unbearable anguish. In response, the earth recoiled in shock; the ground shook violently, jolting her off her feet. As the tremors intensified, a great chasm ripped open, devouring everything in its path and swallowing her in an instant. In a heartbeat, she plummeted into the shadowy abyss, consumed completely by the darkness. Then, the great void closed again, cutting off the sound of her terrified voice, leaving no trace of her presence there...' A retelling of the timeless love story of Hades and Persephone. Though some may argue it wasn't a love story at all... I disagree... Cover by AI Updated twice a week.
