"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" Aphrodite whispered to herself while holding the wedding invitation in her hand. It wasn't so much about attending a wedding, even if that always was fun, but about Lilo and Evander getting married. She - Aphrodite - was the one who had blind dated them less than a year ago, knowing they both needed someone special in their lives and that the other one might be a good match. So she had done her thing, talking first to her colleague Lilo about the exciting new bachelor who had moved in next door to her and then to Evander about the cute girl working at the major's office. It had taken some persuasion of course, Lilo was s

At first glance she could have sworn it was Amphitryon standing there over at the bar. After all he had the same kind of broad shoulders, the same kind of healthy and thick, blond locks falling down his brawny back. And he too wore a long, worn and black leather cloak. Yet upon a closer inspection Alkmene noted that this stranger was taller than the husband who had left her so abruptly to go off to war for more than two years ago. Since then there had been no words of Amphitryon. No one seemed to know where he had gone, what he had done, to be true Alkmene didn't even know if he was alive or not, and it grated at her heart. She missed him so

Twin mother - Leto's tale 1. The letter Dear Zeus! While writing this I am watching the twins. They are playing by the pond, and their laughter is the most wonderful sound I have ever heard. I have named them Apollo and Artemis. These are names I love and which seemed to fit them the first second I laid my eyes upon them. Apollo - the boy - he looks every bit like you, but people say he has my dimples. Artemis - the girl - is dark like me, but her big blue eyes are yours. I guess you're wondering where we are right now. I assure you that we are safe and well all three of us. A friend has provided me and my children with a place to sta

Army Postal Service When the Greek Army swept like wild fire trough the city all I could do was run. Run with my son in my arms, trying to save us from the Greeks and most of all from the terrible Ares himself... (A kind of steampunk take on the mythology - for those who claim ancient accuracy - sorry it's not to be found here, I've taken quite a few liberties with the timeline and geographic characteristic) 1. Under Attack "Mommie, are we going to die?" Kalian looked at me with his big, brown eyes filled with fear. "No, dearest, we're not." I lied. "We're not going to die. We're going to make this; we just have to get away from the me

Hide and Seek Poseidon, the mighty god of the sea, wants Amphitrite, the beautiful and agile Neried. She declares 'not interested' and runs into hiding. But Poseidon is not the kind of god who takes "no" for an answer. He's going to get Amphitrite one way or another. So it's hide and seek time, let the game begin! Part 1 - Olympos Amphitrite had always been fascinated by Olympos, the mountain stronghold of the supreme gods. Ever since being a little child the twice a year visits to the mountaintop had been events to look forward to with great expectation, counting down the weeks and then the days.   This time was no exception. A

This is a story for all lovers of greek mythology - the story of how it all started. Once, way back when the world was ruled by cruel Titans.... 1. Amalthea remembers The eternal noise of this city of concrete and glass keeps me awake at night. I'm longing for the silence of the mountains and the woodlands. Longing for heavens where you can still see the stars, not just the pomegranate-red reflections of the ever-burning city-lights. But my latest lover likes it here. He snores head down in the pillow, sea-green dreads all over the bed and lithe body sprawled and tangled in the satin sheets, black tribal tattoos on olive skin. He's Hudson,

Olympos for beginners This is the story about Ariadne, who leaves his home island Crete to follow her beloved Theseus to Athens – but nothing turns out the way she expected. 1.Naxos After three days at sea the motion-sickness had faded and she didn't feel like throwing up when seeing the horizon move or feeling the ship heave anymore. Nevertheless it was still bliss when the ship finally landed; on the shore of the rocky island Naxos. When the keel kissed the sand with a rasping sound Ariadne felt she had to leave the ship, to feel firm ground beneath her feet, if only for an hour or so. She had left Crete head over heels and with ve

Can friendship endure? - the tale of Io When Io betrays her best friend Hera with Hera's husband Zeus an iron rod is poled into the heart of their friendship. Can Hera ever forgive Io and will Io ever feel comfortable around Hera again. Can true friendship win over a dire mistake? Two best friends The young girls' high-pitched yelling and screaming were heard almost over the whole Palace of Zeus. Not only were the young goddesses voices strong, as divine voices usually are, they were arguing in the Grand Staircase Hall, where the acoustics sent voices bouncing off ornate marble walls and up through the wide, sunlit shaft.   "No
