Excerpt from the beginning of Homer's Iliad
It is a time of turmoil, disease and strife in the mortal world. All of mankind are subject to the gods of Mount Olympus. Gods who treat mortals as their playthings, amusing themselves in the everyday boredom of Immortality.
But, still mortal man worships the deities high atop the great palace of the gods, Mount Olympus. One god in particular is greater than all the rest, the Mighty Zeus, who oversees the gods, the world and mankind.
Now the legends come alive, and myths become reality as the powers of the gods reign supreme!
Among the chaos that is immortality are the heroes and heroines, the monsters and the everyday Greek man or woman.
And among this pageantry and upheaval is you, bringing the ancient myths of Greek legend to life. Now rewrite the legends, partake of the sweet ambrosia and assume the place of any god or goddess; monster or hero... and let the myths be rewritten!
All the classic heroes are alive at once, there are new paths in this tale... and you determine the outcome. Join Mount Olympus and become a legend!
