He expected to become the forgotten god. Instead, he inherited the greatest kingdom in creation. A man from the modern world awakens as Hades, moments after Zeus frees his siblings from Kronos. Armed with modern knowledge of civilisation, governance, architecture, and history, he quickly realises mythology got one thing wrong. The Underworld isn't the worst realm. It's the most valuable. While Zeus celebrates atop Olympus and Poseidon dreams of Atlantis, Hades quietly transforms an empty wasteland into the greatest civilisation in creation. Cities replace barren caverns, justice replaces arbitrary judgment, reincarnation replaces endless stagnation, and libraries, universities, industries, and thriving societies give every soul purpose after death. Long before the Olympians recognise humanity's potential, Hades teaches the first mortals how to read, write, build cities, create laws, and govern themselves. Cave dwellers become flourishing civilisations centuries ahead of their time, while temples dedicated to the Chthonic Gods spread across the world through respect rather than fear. As worship empowers the gods and every mortal soul ultimately belongs to the Underworld, Zeus slowly realises the truth: the quiet brother everyone pitied, the commander who truly won the Titanomachy, and the king who smiled when given the "worst" realm had planned everything from the beginning. Sometimes the greatest victory isn't winning the throne everyone wants. It's recognising the value of the throne everyone else overlooked. What to Expect Kingdom-building • Competent SI Hades • Greek Mythology • Politics • Architecture • Civilization Building • Long-Term Planning • A Reimagined Underworld This is an original work; any ideas are either mine or inspired. In the latter case, an acknowledgement will be given.

Príbeh Laury a Adama pokračuje... Laura prežila. Teda vlastne prežila niekoľko príšerných nehôd, operácií, aj náročného uzdravovania. A po dvoch rokoch má konečne pocit, že sa učí žiť znova. Má milovaného priateľa Adama. Má na dohľad štátnice a diplom. Má budúcnosť, ktorá snáď už konečne bude normálna. Lenže prežiť neznamená zabudnúť. A niekedy stačí jeden ďalší zvuk, jeden dotyk alebo jedna noc, aby sa všetko, čo človek tak dlho držal pod kontrolou, vrátilo späť. A niektoré zranenia nedokáže opraviť ani Adam. Pretože niektoré rany sa nezahoja tým, že prestanú krvácať. Niektoré zranenia prekonáme, až keď opäť nájdeme sami seba. A možno práve tam, kde to najmenej čaká, začne Laurin príbeh konečne patriť iba jej. 🌟 Nová kapitola každý pondelok a piatok 🌟

The arms race began in Mesopotamia with the invention of composite bows, light chariots and crossbows. The Persian (Iranian) emperor tried to conquer Athens in 480 BCE but was delayed by the Spartans at Thermopylae while Greek warships destroyed the Persian fleet. The Macedonian ruler, Alexander the Great, completely destroyed the Persian armies by 326 BCE and established the Greek empire. Then, between 600 and 200 BCE, a few hundred Greeks revolutionized science, mathematics, medicine, engineering, history, law and philosophy. Meanwhile, Greeks settlers in Sicily were in conflict with Rome and, by first century BCE, Romans had conquered Greece, Egypt, Carthage and the old Persian empire. Roman traders made large profits using the Silk Road between Rome, China and India and which created higher incomes though out the Roman empire. Roman engineers built more than 80,000 km of roads throughout the empire and 800 km of aqueducts in Rome delivered a million cubic metres of water each day. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).

In which . . . A lovely and devoted follower of the Holy Spawn, you are. Hymns praising the Spawn's glory has escaped your lips ever since you were young. Praises to the Spawn's holiness flowed within the very blood in your veins. Your knees red and hardened with how much you'd kneel in-front of the Holy Altar. Praise the Spawn. Praise the Spawn. Praise the Spawn, or be forgotten. Praise the Spawn, or risk losing gaining a second life. Praise the Spawn, or have no one else. Praise the Spawn. Believe in the gods of the outsiders you shall not. Until you met him. A man searching for one to whom he had lost, but strangely enough never met. His father. A man who you grew to realize was your equal, one who understood you. Who cherished you. But there's a problem. Him, or your god? Choose. - TELEMACHUS X SPAWNCULTIST!FEM!READER

Many wish to go back into the past and change something, but they get told that if they do, they'll change the course of history. They say that it's not important, that it won't bring big changes and that it won't concern other people. But if you change something to your will, If You go back in time and change it, It can have big consequences. Consequences you never thought of. They always say if you're in the past you shouldn't change a single thing. So better don't even wish for that Because once your wish will be answered You will definitely change your mind when you hear about the results but maybe then it It'll be way too late "I just wished I could go back in time and change history like in this books about alternative history" What if such book was written by someone who wanted to destroy the world? What if countries went into the past? First they think that the decision is in their hands but is it really? Or is their alternate future already planned for them?

What happens when Telemachus meets a girl, from a completely different land, at one of his feasts? Is he completely done for? Telemachus was having a feast, when he excused himself to get some air. That's when he spotted a girl... Amara had been living in Greece for about 8 years now, she had one core friend, Leander... "Who knew that a King, who can get through wars will have so many problems just by meeting one girl?" "Shut up Lys." Warnings: Mature Language Note: This story takes place after the movie The Odyssey, after Odysseus and Penelope leave Ithaca together to let Telemachus rule by himself. I will not be following actual greek mythology during this book, as it is just fictional. Enjoy :) Telemachus x OC

She had lost her colours. He never believed in love. Neither expected to find a home in each other. Radhika Padhiyar had learned early that life could take everything away in a single moment. A young widow from a respected and wealthy family, she lives under the weight of society's cruel expectations, convinced that happiness is no longer meant for her. She has accepted a colourless existence-until Virat Mehra walks into her life. Virat is wealthy, powerful, confident, and accustomed to getting what he wants. He lives in a world of luxury, business, and privilege, while Radhika, despite belonging to a family no less established, has been forced to live within the boundaries society created for her. They shouldn't have anything in common. Yet somehow, he becomes the first person to see Radhika-not the widow, not the woman society pities, but the woman she truly is. What begins with friendship slowly turns into something neither of them can deny. Virat brings laughter back into her life. Radhika brings warmth into his. And somewhere between whispered conversations, stolen glances, unexpected friendship and a love neither planned for, the woman who had forgotten what happiness felt like begins to believe in it again. But love doesn't come without a price. When jealousy, betrayal and carefully woven lies threaten to destroy everything they've built, Radhika and Virat will have to face a question more painful than falling in love: Can love survive when trust is shattered? Because sometimes, the person who brings colour back into your life can also be the one who breaks your heart. And sometimes... the heart whispers the truth long before the world is ready to hear it. A story of widowhood, second chances, friendship, love, betrayal, redemption, forgiveness-and finding your way back to the person who feels like home. ❤️

Imagine you're in Santorini, Greece, where you were born and the guy you haven't seen in years comes to visit for the summer with a new fiancee. Well that's Kyria Argyri's life with Henry Benton.

The people from all over the shores of the Mediterranean, from Greece to Iberia, are being shown their future by the gods. Set when the first Punic war ends, no prologue we go straight to the reaction.

Hera. What comes to mind when you hear her name? Jealousy. A toxic exaggerating wife. Poor Zeus. Right? Hera might be more than that. She loves her husband. She is the Queen of Olympus. Goddess of marriage. Her marriage is trash. Imagine having un unfaithful husband and not being able to get away. Being misunderstood. And Athena. What about her? The goddess of wisdom. Strong, cold, a strategist. Can she love? Can she understand love? Will she ever open her heart? This is my first story!!!!! I hope it is good. Also English is not my first language so my grammar might not be perfect... !!!!!! This is not somewhere to learn canons about greekmythology!!!!! Of course the characters are mythological, their characters are close to what they were, but the myths are not like that. I hope you have fun!!!

Some loves don't end. They just go silent. Between "I have to" and "I love you," something shifts. And sometimes without warning you find yourself wondering: will what they once felt ever find its way back? Athens keeps breathing. The air still smells like jasmine. But time doesn't move forward. It circles. A forgotten photo. A single comment. And suddenly, everything that was buried starts breathing again. Not as memory. As unfinished life. Andreas learned silence to survive. Charoula walked through fire and stayed standing. Two people on the same avenue, in different lanes. Athens, at night. Bouzoukia. Loss. Second chances. And a love that refuses to end. ✍️ Odysseas Nostos

On the first day at an elite high school in Los Angeles, Mia Williams just wants to survive. The past she ran from still follows her, and the pain she never speaks of is louder than any word. Scarlett Rodriguez, on the other hand, isn't used to being told no. She's not used to being ignored. And she's definitely not used to an obsession that comes out of nowhere. One accidental encounter. Two broken souls in very different ways. A dangerous attraction, blurred boundaries, and secrets neither of them is ready to face. Because sometimes... the scariest thing isn't falling in love - it's who you fall for.

Look at the title :) Oneshots with some headcanons sprinkled in, mostly centered around whatever brain vomit I spit out next, though I take requests too. This is my first time doing this, so bear with me (if you even want to). A short summary (without major spoilers, obv) and some info you need for reading (though that is an exception, most can be read without previous knowledge) are at the start of each chapter/oneshot, along with the wordcount and trigger warnings for sensitive topics. If you see that I've missed something, please tell me. First three chapters are not a story, entertainment starts with chapter four. Maybe you'll find the overview at the start interesting though, who knows.

Three weeks. Seven cities. One unforgettable Euro summer. Brooke, Jazmin and Sophia are three twenty-one-year-old Australian girls escaping to Europe for the holiday of a lifetime. From the streets of Rome to the beaches of Greece, their days are filled with sunshine, shopping, cocktails, late nights and memories they'll never forget. Brooke is single, carefree and definitely not looking for anything serious. Until Ios. One night, one club, one table and one very attractive British stranger named Daniel. What starts with tequila shots, dancing and one impulsive kiss quickly turns into something Brooke never expected. But Daniel is only meant to be a holiday fling. Right? As the girls continue travelling through Greece and Italy, Brooke finds herself caught between a summer she never wants to end and feelings she never planned on having. Because sometimes the best memories start with the worst decisions. Sun. Tequila. Romance. Chaos. And a love story that was never supposed to happen. Welcome to Euro Summer Lovers. 🍸☀️🇬🇷🇮🇹

Daphne was born in the Temple of Dacia and serves the Gods who make or break empires. She is chosen by a Goddess to be her human vessel, allowing the goddess to come and go in her body as she pleases. After three strangers from the East receive her prophecy regarding their own civil war, she is whisked across the world. When she begins to fall in love with a foreign prince, she's left to wonder if her feelings are her own, or the goddess who inhabits her. No AI was used in the making of this story or cover. Don't worry babes. Hi hii~~ I will be publishing chapters at least weekly. There's a rough outline of how I expect this story to go, but we'll see where we end up! I'm envisioning some mythical world inspired by real ancient civilizations, myths, and a little magic. Thanks for reading^^

"I would do anything and everything to be with you." ~ a y/n x Percy Jackson story taking place at the same time as the pjo book series

"The Land of Olives and Lemons" is the tenth volume in my book series "The Right People". In the winter of 1973, Tom is kidnapped by Melinda, an ex-agent of the East German secret police. While Tom's friends, led by Nikos, try to rescue him, Melinda forces Tom to drive her to the American Embassy in Bonn, and then releases him. No sooner have they survived this adventure than Tom and his friends, after a brief stopover in Libya, are sent to Cyprus where they are to find out who is behind the constant killings of Turkish Cypriots, which are destabilizing the country. In doing so, they come dangerously close to the EOKA-B terrorists, who, as it turns out, are being controlled by the Athens junta. The aim of the Greek regime is to have a pretext for annexing the island. A war between Turkey and Greece seems imminent. I would like to point out once again that this book is fiction, albeit based on intensive research into the historical context. All persons, including officials appearing in the book, as well as the plot, are fictitious. New chapters will be published every Saturday.
