Introduction

Book 4: Rise of the Olympians

This story is the fourth in the series: The Time of Zeus. If you’re reading this, you should know the drill. While reading the other stories is not necessary to understand the narrative and character development, it would provide helpful context.

The whole point of these novellas is to make the stories bite size, so that anyone who wanted to read these stories could jump on and off at their own leisure. Though I think this one breaks that tradition by being novel-length.

There will be depictions of sexual encounters in this story. There will be incestuous relationships (we’re adults and this happened in the mythology), creampie sex, manipulation, etc.

As a story about Greek Mythology, there will be fight scenes, violence, some abusive nature (which the author does not condone), politics, revenges, magic, and more...

Stories like God of War, Percy Jackson, Lore Olympus, SuperGiant’s Hades, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Good Times: Hercules, Mythos as well as Hesiod’s Theogony and The Library by Apollodorus and more helped inspire the author’s imagination. I hope I paid homage to these stories without being unoriginal.

Further, many tales were shifted to fit this narrative that is told, but the spirit of the myths are hopefully preserved. Think of this telling as apologetics to try and rationalize many mythologies into one world while also building a more real realm for these characters to exist in.

It is this author’s hope that you enjoy Rise of the Olympians. Reader discretion is advised. Please rate accordingly, and thank you for your consideration.
