It was purely by chance that I discovered how Horus of Egypt became the fearsome god of war, Ares in Greece, and later the terrifying Odin in Scandinavia.
Initially, Horus was not a god but a mere mortal. The goddess Isis, unable to have a legitimate child, adopted Horus from a young age.
Living among the gods, the young man received a special drink that greatly increased his physical strength. In Greece, Horus was called Hercules, a demigod of colossal strength.
Taking up arms to defend Egypt, Horus became an invincible warrior, capable of defeating entire armies on his own. In Greece, he became Ares, the powerful and invincible god of war.
However, his thirst for power and the glory of battle led him down a dangerous path. From protector, he became conqueror, thirsting for blood and war. His actions, becoming increasingly reckless, led him to commit an unforgivable betrayal, which banished him from Egypt and exiled him to the icy lands of Scandinavia. There, under the name Odin, he became the god of warriors, a figure both revered and feared.
Let's explore together the incredible story of Horus, a complex character who embodies both greatness and downfall, and who left an indelible mark on the mythologies of the ancient world.

No More Olympus

32 parts Complete Mature

There are gods among us. Over 2000 years ago, Olympus was overthrown by the mortals who worshipped them, spreading them to the four corners of the earth where no one could ever find them, not even each other. Now in the modern-day, Athena, the first daughter of Zeus and the Goddess of War and Wisdom, lives hidden as an ordinary mortal woman who has a family of her own in rural Alabama. But when threats from her past threaten her new life, she must trudge back into the world she left behind, being forced to relive old conflicts, old regrets and old trauma. But no matter how long ago and how much one resists, the past has a way of forcing itself into the present and staining the future.
