Prologue

New Greek Mythology with a few twists. Stories from me and Amber Eve Surdam

This is a twist on the ancient Greek world and mythology. Forget what you knew about knew the old mythology. It starts with the four elements (fire, water, earth and wind) crashing into each other, creating the Earth. It also created six gods. Three males’ gods, Poseidon,  Zeus and Hades. Poseidon became king of sea. Hades became the king of the underworld. Zeus became king of the heavens and god of weather. Poseidon was in charge of creating all the animals for Earth. Hades was in charge of creating all the evil things for the Earth. Zeus was in charge of creating all the humans.  Three females’ goddess, Artemis, Hera and Persephone. Artemis became the goddess of hunt, wild animals, wilderness, childbirth, and virginity. Hera became the goddess of women and marriage. Persephone became the goddess of harvest and life. They all pair off to create bonds of love or power. Zeus with Hera. Poseidon with mortal woman Arotos. Artemis decided to be alone. Hades with Persephone.

Zeus and Hera created two daughters, Aphrodite and Athena. Aphrodite became the goddess of love, beauty, and sexuality. Athena became the goddess of wisdom, civilization, warfare, strength, strategy, female arts, crafts, justice and skill.

Poseidon and Arotos had four sons, Apollo, Ares, Hephaestus and Hermes. Apollo the god of light, sun, truth, prophecy, medicine, healing, plague, music, poetry, and arts. Hermes the god of messaging, and travel.  Ares the god of war, and destruction. Hephaestus the god of technology, blacksmiths, craftsmen, artisans, sculptors, metals, metallurgy, fire and volcanoes.

It was unclear if Hades and Persephone had any children.

To sure up power between the heavens in and the middle world, Ares and Athena fall in love and got married. Hades was pissed because of the shift of power, he created three horsemen, with the hopes of having an offspring one day to have it control them and shift all the power to the Underworld. That is where our story begins. After thousands of years and Earth was settling in, the story arrives at the year 2011.

So, I regret not reading this before, because I love mythology. I told you I'd get around to it eventually. :P

I love ancient mythology. I'm definitely curious to see your twist on it.

Great premise. To avoid undue criticism. Call this new mythology. No one can pick on any changes you may give the characters or crossover in powers and such.

This is less of a prologue and more of a pitch. Nothing wrong with that... just saying...
Still, it's an interesting pitch. let's see where you go with it.
