The Ancient Greek myths have been retold for centuries, not least by the Greeks themselves. We have lost much. These are my retellings, in the way which makes sense to me. As with the myths from which I have drawn inspiration these will be interconnected stories of varying lengths.
This can also be seen as a companion which provides the history and lore for to my stories set in the Divine Universe, particularly on Caelum. You do not need to have read any of the tales of the divine universe to enjoy this book, but if you have you may find some of this will provide greater context.
In general this book will only be updated at the point where one of the Divine Universe books reaches a relevant myth, that will of course make the ordering of the myths at any one time somewhat odd but I intend to reorder them over time into the "true chronology".
As a final note, unlike in the ordinary Divine Universe books, this book will not see the gods and heroes dissembling about their thoughts, feelings, motives or actions. Whatever occurs in this book is what truly happened in the history of the Divine Universe and, more importantly, behind the myths I hope some of you love as I do.
