Thanks to many playwrights, historians and poets, we can enjoy a large body of written myth from Ancient Greece. These texts often contradict one another making it tricky to weave them into a coherent narrative.

Ancient Gods picks the variants that appeal most to our sense of drama and ‘feel right’. Sometimes that might create seemingly impossible chronologies. This is an opportunity to exercise artistic freedom and embellish the myths with some story-telling of our own, much as the Romans did. After all, why should Greek mythology die with the Ancient Greeks?

As we expand the list below we will offer an ordering that makes most sense when read sequentially. In any case, we hope to provide enough context for each myth to stand on its own. So please feel free to read them in any order you please. The Latinized spellings of names and places are used throughout except in dialogue where we use the Greek transliterations.
