 Olympus and the Realms of the Olympians

OLYMPUS:
A small "pocket" dimension adjacent to
Earth; an interdimensional nexus between
Olympus and Earth exists somewhere on
Mount Olympus in Greece. Olympus is a
small other-dimensional planetary body
whose nature and physics are different
from those of planetary bodies in the
Earthly dimension. Olympus serves as
the home to the Olympian gods. Olympus
resembles the Asgard (Realm), although
it is no bigger than a large city. This
relatively flat asteroid-like landmass is
suspended in space, and is surrounded
by what its inhabitants call “the Abyss.” It
is not known if Olympus's source of light
and heat is Earth's sun, or a glowing ball
of light dissimilar to a star in most of its
properties. Unlike Earth, where the force
of gravitation radiates from the mass of
the planet, Olympus has gravity, which
apparently radiates from some point or
object beneath the suspended landmass.
Consequently, there is a topside to
Olympus, upon which beings can stand.

There is apparently some force that

keeps the bottom and edges of Olympus's
landmass from eroding away. This force
also prevents Olympus's atmosphere
from escaping. Olympus is surrounded by
what Olympians call "the Abyss," which
may be similar to Asgard's "sea of space."
The exact nature of space in the Olympus
dimension is unknown. While the gravity
of Olympus is roughly analogous to
Earth's, common Olympian matter is
considerably denser than Earth's on the
average. Consequently, a chair made of
Olympian wood would be more massive,
heavier, and more durable than a chair
made of analogous Earthly wood.
Olympus is linked to at least four other
dimensions. The dimensional bridge
between Olympus and Earth leads to
somewhere on Mount Olympus in
Greece. There is also a nexus between
Olympus and Hades, the realm of Pluto,
and an apparently artificial nexus
between Olympus and Asgard. Also,
there is a bridge leading to another realm,
from which the Olympian race is said to
originate. Among the major buildings of
Olympus are the great halls of the
principal Olympian gods and the
Pantheon Hall, where the Olympian high
council meet. Those Titans not confined
to the land of the dead live in an enclave
amid the large forest governed by
Artemis. Wrongdoers are punished at the
"Place of Plain". For many years Olympus
has been ruled by Zeus, ruler of the
Olympians, however others have ruled in
his place from time to time.
At some point in time, Zeus took a leave
of absence from Olympus, leaving
Aphrodite in charge of Olympus. Taking
on her Roman name Venus, she moved
the dimensional nexus from Mount
Olympus to the planet Venus. She
allowed non-Olympians to reside in
Olympus, such as Cleopatra, and the
Biblical Samson. In the late 1940s, Zeus
returned to Olympus and reclaimed rule
of the realm when Venus became
determined to remain on Earth. In 1949,
Olympus was almost invaded by the
demonic hordes of Hades led by Loki,
who at the time ruled Hades. The
invasion was halted when Joya posed as
Venus to trick Loki into returning to
Hades. In 1950, one of Loki's demons
infiltrated Olympus by possessing the
body of Apollo. He attempted to convince
Zeus to allow Loki to reside on Olympus,
however this plot was exposed by Venus.
Later that year Olympus was invaded by
creatures that inhabited the mind of Earth
scientist Profesor Buffanoff. Olympus was
defended by Zeus, Apollo, and the
Asgardian thunder god Thor until Venus
was able to trick the creatures into
returning to Buffanoff's dying brain.

HADES:
Hades is the Olympian underworld, or
Realm of the Dead, where the spirits of
the Olympian gods and those of their
worshipers went to dwell after death.
Hades is actually a pocket dimension
accessible both from Earth and from
Olympus. Hades has typically been ruled
by Pluto (although others have ruled the
domain from time to time). They then
pass the guardian Cerberus, who can
take the form of a gigantic humanoid
warrior or of a savage three-headed dog.
The arriving spirits pass through the
dismal Asphodel Fields to a section called
Erebus where the palace of Pluto and
Persephone stands.
Spirits usually arrive in Hades on the
border of the River Styx, which has as its
tributaries the rivers Acheron, Cocytus,
Aornis, the flaming river Phlegethon, and
Lethe, whose waters, when drunk, induce
loss of memory. The ferryman Charon
conveys the arriving spirits across the
Styx. Near the Palace newly arrived
spirits are judged by the shades of the
mortals Aeacus, Minos, and
Rhadamanthys, and are then sent along
three paths. Those who were neither truly
good nor truly evil in life are sent on the
road back to the Asphodel Fields. Those
who were evil are condemned to
Tartarus, a dark place of terrible
punishments; where the Titan warriors
are confined. The virtuous travel the path
to Elysium, a beautiful and peaceful realm
where they dwell happily. Elysium and
Tartarus may be separate pocket
dimensions from that of Hades proper.
5
Erebus:
Erebus is a region of Hades, the
underworld. It was where the dead had to
pass immediately after dying, the three
headed dog Cerberus guards the
gateway here. It is also the port in which
Charon the ferryman took the souls to
their respective region of Hades.
River Styx:
The River Styx is a river that serves as a
barrier separating the world of the living
from the world of the Hades, the
Underworld the realm of the dead. It can
be reached by Erebus the gateway to the
underworld.
River Lethe:
This is one of the rivers believed by the
ancient Greeks to be a river of Hades.
Those who drink from it experience
forgetfulness.
Tartarus:
Tartarus, is a region of Hades, far below
than where Hades resided and it was
used as the most horrible prison. Some
accounts say that the distance between
Tartarus and Hades was the same as
between the earth and the heaven.
Although the kingdom of Hades was the
place of the dead, Tartarus was where
ferocious monsters and horrible criminals
were banished, or where the gods
imprisoned their rivals after a war. The
three judges of the Underworld,
Rhadamanthus, Aeacus and Minos,
decided who would go to the realm of
Hades and who would be banished to
Tartarus.
Moreover, Cronus, the king of the Titans,
imprisoned the Cyclopes and the
Hecatonchires in Tartarus, but Zeus
released them in order to help him defeat
the Titans. When the Titanomachy ended
in favour of the Olympians, Zeus
banished many of the Titans to Tartarus.
Elysium:
Originally, the paradise to which heroes
on whom the gods conferred immortality
were sent. It was probably retained from
Minoan religion. In Homer’s writings the
Elysian Plain was a land of perfect
happiness at the end of the Earth, on the
banks of the Oceanus. A similar
description was given by Hesiod of the
Isles of the Blessed. In the earlier
authors, only those specially favoured by
the gods entered Elysium and were made
immortal. By the time of Hesiod, however,
Elysium was a place for the blessed dead
and, from Pindar on, entrance was gained
by a righteous life.

Asphodel Fields:
The Asphodel Meadows is a section of
the Ancient Greek underworld where
indifferent and ordinary souls were sent to
live after death. Hades, the Greek name
for the underworld (also the name of the
Greek god of the Underworld,
synonymous with the Roman God Pluto)
is divided into two main sections: Erebus
and Tartarus. Erebus was where the dead
first entered the underworld. Charon
ferried the dead across the river Styx
where they then went into Tartarus.
Tartarus is the section of the underworld
where the dead would spend all of
eternity in the place where judgment
would order them. Tartarus is then
divided into three subsections: the Elysian
Fields, the Asphodel Meadows, and
Tartarus. The Elysian Fields were for the
good and heroic souls where they would
be forever happy. Tartarus was where the
evil and treacherous souls were sent to their light originates from something they restarted their population but

Running Hercules:
Hercules is a thrill seeker. He enjoys
'slumming it' on Earth because it is a
relatively interesting place to be. He gives
in to filling his appetites for fun and
women. He is an unrepentant Casanova
who has trouble understanding why
women occasionally resist him.
HISTORY:
Herakles was the son of Zeus, king of the
Olympian gods, and Alcmena of Thebes
in Ancient Greece. Zeus seduced
Alcmena in the guise of her husband,
Amphitryon who was away at war battling
the pirates of Taphos. Due to his
Olympian lineage, Hercules was born with
the potential for extraordinary
superhuman strength. Zeus' wife Hera
grew jealous of his adultery, Alcmena
tried to appease the goddess by naming
her child Heracles "Glory of Hera". The
child was at first abandoned outside the
city and when Athena and Hera found it,
Hera decided to suckle the child,
however, his godly strength harmed her
when he bit down and she flung him
away. He was returned to the city and
was accepted by Amphitryon and his wife.
However, Hera then sent two serpents to
kill the child, but even at one years old he
had great strength and strangled them
both with his bare hands. Amphitryon
raised Hercules as his own training in all
forms of combat. It was during a lesson
with his music teacher who criticized his
lack of skill, Hercules killed him with a
single blow. Hercules would go on many
adventures of his own.
 In 1291 B.C., on the road to Thebes he
encountered a group of Minyan warriors
travelling to sack the city; Hercules beat
them all with ease. This lead to war
between Minya and Thebe and Hercules
was imprisoned for the attack. It was then
that he learned the truth of his origin from
his parents. They gave him the garb
bestowed on them from Zeus. He met
with the leader of the Minyan, but when
they tried to execute him the axe
shattered on his neck.It was however
during the battle Amphitryon was killed.
The king thanked him for saving the city
and gave him the hand of his daughter
Princess Megara. In 1289 B.C., he sailed
with the Argonauts led by Jason, among
them Augeas. During the adventure, he
battled the Akaana and faced the Hydra,
saw the death of Medusa, and defeated
Antaeus. He left the Argonauts when his
companion Hylas was taken by Nymphs
on the island of Mysia. Hera, Zeus's
jealous wife, could never forgive her
husband for having had Hercules as an
illicit son, so she sent Hercules into
insanity. One night Hercules goes mad
and unwittingly kills his family. When he
realized what he has done, he almost
killed himself, but Theseus persuades him
to go on living; that is the heroic option. It
was after that he took the name
"Hercules" to distance himself from his
step-mother. In 1267 B.C., but the twelve
and final labor: Capture and bring back
Cerberus from Hades, and rescuing
Theseus. Returning to Thebes, he was
believed dead and Euboean Lycus took
advantage of that absence to kill
Hercules' father-in-law King Creon and
condemn Megara and their three sons to
death. Enraged, Hercules killed Lycus but
his family as well. Hercules' followers
decided to accuse Hera, and Hercules
didn't correct them, too ashamed. He
changed from Herakles to roman
Hercules, in order to distance himself
from Hera.

The same year, in Macedonia, Kyknos,

the son of Ares, decided to build a temple
to his father from the bones of the
travelers he met. Meeting with Hercules,
the two clashed, and as Ares intervened
to help his son, so did Athena to support
Hercules. Ares was wounded and
retreated, and Kyknos was killed by
Hercules, thus sparking Ares' long-
standing rivalry with the Prince of Power.
In 1264 B.C., having refused to pay
Apollo and Poseidon after they built
impenetrable walls around his city, King
Laomedon of Troy asked Hercules to
save her daughter from the Monster of
Poseidon, promising him his herd of
magical horses which could run on water
in return. After Hercules was denied his
reward, he returned to Troy berserk,
wrecking havoc in the city while claiming
the horses, and killed Laomedon and all
of his sons, save for one.

In 1260 B.C., in western Greece, he

battled the river god Achelous to win
Deianira as his third wife. During the
battle, Achelous transformed into a
serpent and then as a bull, but Hercules
managed to tear one of his horns off,
making him surrender. Returning, the
couple attempted to cross the River
Evenus. They asked Nessus the centaur
ferryman to take them across. He
however bolted with Deianira, whereupon
Hercules shot him with an arrow dipped in
Hydra's blood. Feigning a wish to make

9
amends, the dying centaur tricked
Deianeira how to make a love charm from
his allegedly enchanted blood, in fact
tainted with the Hydra's blood, and
Deianira took the Centaur's blood-soaked
shirt. In 1246 B.C., Deianira found
Hercules in bed with another woman and
decided use the enhanced blood to gain
Hercules loyalty once more. Unaware that
it was now tainted with the lethal poison
of the Hydra, Deianeira rubbed the
Centaur's shirt on Hercules. Rendered
mad by the poison, Hercules threw
himself o the funeral pyre built for him by
his nephew Iolaus. As his mortal body
burned his soul fell for three days into the
depth of Tartarus. However Zeus took pity
on him and split the immortal part away
from his body allowing the "shade" to fall
into the underworld. Now a full god,
Hercules took his place as god of
strength. In an attempt to reconcile with
Hera, he married Hebe. However, like his
father, Hercules was a notorious ladies'
man. This was compounded with a curse
of Hera's that threatened any mortal
woman with whom he became too
involved. Later, Hercules led time-
traveling soldiers against Vikings, bringing
him into conflict with Thor.
In recent years, the Asgardian
Enchantress hoped to gain revenge on
her enemies, the Avengers. She
mesmerized Hercules and set him to
attack the team, but the Avenger
Hawkeye managed to free him from his
thrall and the Enchantress was routed.
However, Hercules was exiled from
Olympus by Zeus as punishment for his
unauthorized excursion to Earth. The
Avengers housed Hercules as their guest
for months, and he often assisted them in
their adventures. He was eventually made
an official member of the team, but he
returned to Olympus with the Avengers to
rescue the other Olympians from the
vengeful Typhon. Afterward, Hercules
elected to remain on Olympus with Zeus'
blessing. Later, the Olympian god Ares
hoped to incite war among Olympus and
Asgard, and eventually Earth. Ares turned
all the Olympian gods to crystal, and, as
Hercules was unaffected by being only
half-god, Ares' agents beat him severely
and abandoned him on Earth. Hercules
remained amnesiac for many weeks, until
he was discovered by Hawkeye and
returned to the Avengers. With the
Avengers' aid, the plot was uncovered
and Ares was stopped. Hercules and his
teammate, the Asgardian thunder-god
Thor, sealed the access to both worlds.
Hercules continued to occasionally
interact with Earth, as was the case with
his helping found the short-lived West
Coast super-team called the Champions
of Los Angeles after they had helped him
and Venus thwart a plot by Pluto to force
him into marriage with Hippolyta and
invade Olympus. While on this team,
Hercules began a relationship with his
team leader, the Black Widow. It did not
last long, but the two remained on good
terms afterward. He also kept in touch
with the Avengers, assisting them in
reserve capacity against menaces such
as Korvac the Enemy. Eventually,
Hercules rejoined the Avengers on a full-
time basis. When the Avengers' mansion
headquarters was invaded by Baron
Helmut Zemo's Masters of Evil, Hercules,
intoxicated, ignored orders from The
Wasp and Captain America, attacking the
conquered mansion by himself. He was
beaten so severely by a contingent of the
Masters that he was left near death, in a
coma. The Wasp and Ant-Man (Scott
Lang) were only barely able to repulse a
Masters assault by Absorbing Man and
Titania on his hospital room. Afterwards,
Zeus arranged for Hercules to be
returned to Olympus, and in revenge,
ordered the imprisonment of the
Avengers in Hades. The Avengers
escaped to confront Zeus directly, but
they were saved only by the intervention
of Hercules, who had made a recovery
and convinced his father the Avengers
were not to blame. Nevertheless, Zeus
ordered that Hercules remain in Olympus
forever. It was not long, however, until
Hercules disobeyed his father, returning
to Earth when the Avengers required help
against the villainous High Evolutionary,
who misguidedly hoped to forcibly
jumpstart humankind's evolution. In the
10
final battle, Hercules was attached to a
machine that would "evolve" him to a
superior state than that of the
Evolutionary. Instead, the device
jumpstarted the Evolutionary's physiology
as well, evolving both to a state beyond
godhood, and the two dissipated from
Earth's plane.
In reality, the two were captured by the
enigmatic beings known as the Celestials
and held prisoner in the so-called Black
Galaxy. Thor and his friend, Eric
Masterson, discovered their fate during
an adventure at the High Evolutionary's
citadel, Wundagore. Both Masterson and
Thor helped rescue the two, and
Hercules, Thor, and Masterson returned
to Earth, while the High Evolutionary
turned Wundagore into a spaceship and
returned to the Black Galaxy.Hercules,
Thor, and Masterson were then viciously
attacked by Mongoose using weapons he
had stolen from Wundagore. Mongoose
almost killed Thor using a powerful
energy beam. Masterson took a killing
blow for Thor, giving Thor and Hercules a
chance to defeat Mongoose.
Unfortunately, Masterson was dying from
his wounds, which led Thor and
Masterson to be merged together.
Hercules remained on hand to help his
friends, and he would also return to the
Avengers shortly afterwards, becoming
an active reserve member during the U.N.
reorganization of the team. He soon
became a full member during an absence
of Thor. During Operation Galactic Storm,
Hercules was part of Captain America's
team bound for the Kree Empire. At the
conclusion of the mission, he was part of
the group that followed Iron Man to
execute the Supreme Intelligence of the
Kree, a move against both Avengers
policy and Captain America's orders.
Hercules was soon confronted by Zeus,
and they had a falling out over Hercules'
apparent preference for the mortal world.
Punishing his son, Zeus stripped him of
his immortality and much of his godly
power, exiling him once more. The
traumatized Hercules drew emotional
support from the Avengers, especially
Deathcry, whom he later aided in
returning to her alien Shi'ar homeworld.
On returning to Earth, though, Hercules
discovered to his horror that most of the
Avengers were missing and presumed
dead after their battle with the psychic
menace of Onslaught. A despairing
Hercules succumbed to alcoholism and
was no help in trying to hold together the
group, which soon disbanded.

Hercules began to wander in search of

new adventures, serving briefly with the
corporate super-team Heroes for Hire.
When the supposedly dead Avengers
returned from their Onslaught
disappearance, Hercules joined many of
the other Avengers in reorganizing the
team, though he has opted to remain an
inactive member rather than rejoining the
active roster. Also during this time,
Hercules sought out one of those
responsible for his coma, the villain
Goliath who had become the hero Atlas.
The resulting battle was cut short by
Hawkeye (then posing as Dreadknight of
the Thunderbolts), who convinced
Hercules to stand down, at the cost of the
two's friendship. Hercules continued to
aid the Avengers on an as-needed basis,
such as helping them against the
villainous Exemplars and when the time-
traveling Kang nearly conquered the
world. He was one of the Avengers
present in response to the Code White
call when the Scarlet Witch had her
breakdown that disassembled the
Avengers. Hercules considered Thor both
a great ally and a rival. They fought
alongside one another many times
against many foes and was angry that
Thor's and Asgard's disappearance were
largely forgotten in light of the Scarlet
Witch's insanity. To reaffirm himself, he
accepted a challenge of completing a
more modern Twelve Labors. When the
Superhuman Registration Act was
enacted, Hercules joined Captain
America's Secret Avengers, opposing the
Act and Iron Man's Pro-Registration
Superhero Unit. He helped play a
leadership role in the anti-registration
movement during the resultant Civil War.
His most significant act during the final
battle is using the Thor clone's own

11
hammer against itself, declaring, "Thou
art no Thor."
During the Hulk's attack on Earth,
Hercules and Archangel met with
Amadeus Cho, one of the Hulk's allies.
They agreed to help the Hulk, but, upon
encountering him, the Hulk savagely
charged them. Hercules was forced to
defend himself, and gained the advantage
against the Hulk, but was beaten down
after he stopped fighting and defending
himself against the Hulk to prove that he
was not there to hurt him. Hercules'
reason for aiding the Hulk was simple.
Both men, despite all of their strength,
had lost their queen and family. Also,
Hercules wished to make up for an
altercation between the Hulk and the
Champions years earlier. He joined a
team called the "Renegades". The group
was comprised of Hercules, Amadeus
Cho, Angel, Namora, and the female
Scorpion. During the action, Herc and
Namora shared a kiss. When the conflict
ended, Hercules was the only renegade
to stay with Amadeus. In the aftermath of
the war, Hercules, against Amadeus'
wishes, agreed to turn himself in.
However, after learning that he would be
working under his brother Ares, he
escaped, taking Amadeus with him. After
finding brief shelter in a refugee camp
outside of New York, Hercules spoke with
Athena, who was living in Vermont, to try
and seek shelter. However, after being
shot by Ares' "Hydra blood bullets", he
was driven into a psychotic rage, and
began seeing Amadeus Cho as Iolaus,
his nephew and ally from Ancient Greek
times. Cho decided to take advantage of
the situation by getting Hercules to attack
a S.H.I.E.L.D. base. However both men
were stopped by the Black Widow, who
knocked out Cho and cured Hercules of
his rage. Out of respect for Hercules,
Natasha let Hercules knock her out and
let him reunite with Cho, who captured a
S.H.I.E.L.D mobile base and was willing
to destroy all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s
governmental facilities. Hercules avoided
this disaster by asking Cho what he would
like to be remembered for.
Upon meeting up with Athena, the trio set
out to San Fransisco to assemble a team
of gods from Earth (Snowbird,
Tecumotzin, Amatsu-Mikaboshi, and
Atum the God Eater) to battle and defeat
the Skrull Gods Kly'bn and Sl'gur't. In
route to Skrull space through the dream
realm, they battled Nightmare and
received his map of the dream realm.
Hercules and Narya made love after she
confessed to him that she didn't want to
be alone anymore. Soon after, a Skrull
who had been with them since the end of
World War Hulk revealed itself and was
quickly dispatched. However, Hercules
and Snowbird together managed to slay
the head god of the Skrulls, destroying
the very inspiration for the ongoing Secret
Invasion war. Meanwhile Mikaboshi
managed to overcome Sl´gur´t, and
apparently assumed the position of leader
of the Skrull pantheon, all according to
Athena's plan. While Hercules decided to
take a vacation with Namora after the
Secret Invasion, a group of Amazons
attacked and captured Amadeus Cho,
wanting him to find the Omphalos and
use it to become the world's dominant
force. Hercules, Namora and Namor
managed to save the captured Poseidon,
after a brief conflict with Namor, and
headed to intercept the Amazons at the
new axis mundi, Washington, D.C.
However, the Amazon leader Artume
succeeded in reshaping the world into an
Amazon-dominated one, with Hercules as
the sole remaining rebel against her
regime. Meanwhile, Hera and Pluto took
over the Olympus Group, the modern day
seat of power for the Olympians, via the
inherited shares of Zeus' and by buying
out Poseidon, and decided the company's
new major goal: the deaths of Athena and
Hercules. Hercules, Amadeus, Athena
and others managed to slay Artume and
restore all of reality. Hercules discovered
that Namora's fondest desire was to love
Namor, to his shock. Namora was called
away to serve in the Agents of Atlas's first
mission during the Dark Reign, and
Hercules and Amadeus united after
Athena used what remained of the axis
mundi energies to undo the damage
inflicted.

In the aftermath of Secret Invasion, the
activities of the Elder God Chthon created
a series of freak events that Cho dubbed
the "Chaos Cascade", and concluded the
Avengers would be necessary to deal
with the events. Hercules and Cho
located Edwin Jarvis, and then Henry
Pym and Jocasta. Loki in the guise of
Wanda Maximoff, arrived in an astral form
to greet them and supply the gathered
forces with an "army" to form the new
Mighty Avengers (later aided by Iron
Man), which Hercules chose to remain
with. Loki covertly used them to form and
widen cracks in Osborn's armor, and
which Norman Osborn sought to crush.
Chthon was banished through their
combined efforts with Pietro Maximoff,
with Hercules explaining to the others that
the death of the Demogorge with the
Skrullian gods was the factor Chthon
used to attack the universe. After
Hercules, Amadeus, and Athena were
attacked by first Hera and her allies then
by Osborn's Avengers they went to Hades
were they took part in Zeus' trial. After
Zeus was found guilty, he drank from the
River Lethe and was transformed into a
child. After several adventures where "Kid
Zeus" learned the value of others, Athena
brought Hercules up to speed on what
had occurred during his absence,
informing him of Hera's plans and telling
him his wife, Hebe had been cast out of
New Olympus for betraying Hera.
Hercules gathered allies to attack Hera's
Earth-based Olympus Group to prevent
her from releasing CONTINUUM and
replacing the current universe with one
only inhabited by her and her followers.
Before the heroes could decide or do
anything to thwart Hera's machinations,
Hercules decided to find his absent wife
Hebe. Find her he did; kissing Peter
Parker (Spider-Man). After fighting
Spider-Man and making amends with
Hebe, he and Hebe returned to the
heroes. He managed to defeat Typhon,
but was left trapped in the alternate
universe when Athena destroyed the
portal to prevent him from interfering in
Cho's destiny.
Athena became queen of Olympus and
appointed Amadeus Cho as head of the
Olympian earthly holdings. Cho used his
resources to try and find Hercules and
came into conflict with Vali Halfling in a
contest for a level of godhood beyond that
of any known god: true omnipotence and
omniscience. Cho gained it, but realizing
he was not ready for such power,
retrieved Hercules from the other
dimension and imbued him with the
power. Hercules obtained the power just
as Mikaboshi was beginning his attack on
Earth. Initially drunk on his new abilities,
Hercules attacked the Council of
Godheads. After calming down. Hercules
made several attempts to defeat
Mikaboshi including forming a new God
Squad. A serious of blunders allowed
Mikaboshi to learn the location of the
Council of Godheads and destroy their
heavens, growing stronger with each
realm it absorbed. Hercules' relentless
strategy of "Attack! Attack!" alienated Cho
and nearly everyone around him.
Eventually, it took his omniscience and
Gaea herself to convince Hercules to try
another path. After another power-up
from Gaea, Hercules was strong enough
to fight Mikaboshi head on, but was still
losing. A last ditch effort by Amadeus Cho
and Galactus opened up a portal to
Hera's bubble universe and Hercules
knocked Mikaboshi through just as the
latter was returning everything to the
primordial void. Hera's bubble universe
was reduced while the main universe was
spared. Hercules burned out his
omnipotence restoring the multiverse to
the way it was before Mikaboshi
destroyed it, leaving him reduced to a
mortal man once again.
Hercules reappears in Brooklyn, armed
with a new array of Olympian weapons
stolen from Ares' armory. They include
the Sword of Peleus, the Shield of
Perseus, arrows that can penetrate
through anything, and the Helm of Hades.
He then gets a job bartending at a Greek
run bar in Brooklyn. Hercules came
across Basilisk, Griffin, Man-Bull, and an
unidentified fourth character robbing a
bank. They had just escaped from the
Raft during the breakout caused by
Kuurth: Breaker of Stone. Hercules soon
discovered that the amnesiac fourth
person with them was actually the witch-
goddess Hecate. During the fight, Hecate
looked into the Shield of Perseus and
regained her memories of taking over
Brooklyn. She then teamed up with
Kyknos in order to take over the city. The
pair managed to turn some people
against Hercules due to the chaos that
the Serpent's Worthy created. When
Hercules used the Shield of Perseus to
turn some people to stone, Basilisk and
Man-Bull fled. The Griffin reacted to the
magic forces at work, devolving into a
savage beast. He saved Hercules' life and
became his new steed, allowing him to fly
around the city. Hercules recovered upon
hearing the prayers of his worshipers and
found himself in the Griffin's care, only to
discover that Brooklyn had been
reshaped into a nightmare landscape.
Hercules and the Griffin managed to find
where Basilisk and Man-Bull and
recruited their help.The villains
approached Hecate and Kyknos using a
ruse involving Hercules being turned to
stone. Hercules quickly revived and
saved the villains by killing Kyknos, then
prevented Ares' resurrection by kicking
over his alter. Hecate fled and Brooklyn
was returned to normal.
Herc was now in charge of the bar after
the owners fled back to Greece. He
befriended an elderly African man named
A. Nancy who loved stories. One night
Herc was bitten by a bed bug that gave
him spider-powers, which he used to fight
crime. The Queen of Spider-Island
revealed herself to Herc and made him
her slave. She sent Spider-Herc against
the X-Men, who were in town after
fighting lizard people in the sewers. They
tried to reason with him, but he attacked
them with the Sword of Peleus. Due to
the mutagenic properties of Spider-Man's
powers, Spider-Herc mutated into Herc-
Spider mid-battle. Shortly after, the X-
Men were trapped in a magic web, and
the Greek goddess Arachne appeared.
Instead of fighting, Arachne became very
attracted to Herc's new form and they
13
embraced, while the X-Men were forced
to watch. While Arachne was
preoccupied, A. Nancy broke into Herc's
home and stole Arachne's mythical
Woven Tapestry. He revealed himself as
the African spider god Anansi, a collector
of stories. Hercules was later cured of his
spider transformation by Peter Parker,
along with everyone else infected.
Hercules was called upon to act as a
guest instructor at Avengers Academy
when most of the main faculty was
preoccupied with the events of Avengers
vs. X-Men. Tigra was shocked by his
nakedness while demonstrating the
Ancient Greek art of wrestling and forced
him to wear clothing. The school was
suddenly visited by Captain America, who
asked that the facility be used to hold the
younger members of the X-Men until the
fighting was over. Kavita Rao and
Madison Jeffries urged their students to
comply with the Avengers, but many were
resentful of the confinement. Hercules
arranged an Olympic competition
between the two schools in order to ease
tensions and avoid an actual fight from
taking place. When Sebastian Shaw (who
was also being held at the Academy)
escaped he defeated Hercules because
Shaw was able to absorb the magic
energy from his weapons. Shaw then told
the X-Men students to escape before
fleeing himself. Hercules urged Tigra to
let the kids join the fight if they wanted to,
believing they had no right to hold them
there against their will in the first place.
Some of the X-Men students remained at
Avengers Academy while many joined the
fighting, and Hercules reflected that while
the older generation had only found war,
at least some of the kids were able to find
peace.
Hercules, isolated and shunned by the
hero community, attempted to regain his
reputation as a true hero and took on the
threats of the Uprising Storm, a group of
new gods consisting of Catastrophobia:
God of War, Horrorscope, and
Cryptomnesia: God of Data as they plan
to wipe out the old gods. Hercules tried to
get help from his fellow superheroes to
fight the Uprising Storm, but they were
too busy fighting among themselves over
how to use the precognitive powers of
Ulysses Cain to listen. So, Hercules
assembled his own team that consisted of
demigods he called the Gods of War.
After weakening the Uprising Storm with
magic, the Gods of War successfully
vanquished the Storm. In the aftermath of
the second Civil War, Hercules rejoined
the Avengers, where they foiled an
ambush by Kang the Conqueror.
Hercules became a member of the
Underground which was a resistance
movement against Hydra ever since they
took over the United States. Hercules and
Quicksilver led a strike force to find the
Cosmic Cube fragments so that they
could use it to restore Captain America to
normal.

The Olympians are a race of super-
humanly powerful humanoid beings who
were worshipped by the ancient Greeks
and Romans from about 2000 BC to 500
AD. They dwell in Olympus, a small
"pocket" dimension adjacent to Earth; an
interdimensional nexus between Olympus
and Earth exists somewhere on Mount
Olympus in Greece.
The Olympians' human worshippers in
ancient Rome called these gods by
different names than those by which the
gods were known in ancient Greece: for
example, the Greeks called the king of
the gods Zeus, whereas the Romans
called him Jupiter or Jove. The Olympian
gods, except for Neptune, patron deity of
the Atlanteans, no longer have or actively
seek worshippers on Earth. However,
certain gods, notably Hercules and
Venus, still take active interest in the
welfare of humanity.
The Olympian gods all possess certain
superhuman physical attributes. They are
true immortals, who cease to age upon
achieving adulthood, and who are unable
to die by conventional means. The
Olympians are immune to all terrestrial
diseases and are resistant to
conventional injury. If an Olympian is
wounded, his or her godly life force will
enable him or her to recover at a
superhuman rate. It would take an injury
of such magnitude that it incinerates an
Olympian or disperses a major portion of
his o r her bodily molecules to cause him
or her to die. Even then, it may be
possible for a god of greater or equal
power, or several gods acting together, to
revive the deceased Olympian before the
god's life essence is beyond resurrection.
Olympian flesh and bone are about three
times denser than regular human tissue,
contributing to the gods' superhuman
strength and weight. An average male
Olympian god can lift about 30 tons; an
average Olympian goddess can lift about
25 tons. The metabolism of the gods
gives them superhuman endurance in all
physical activities. In addition, many
Olympian gods possess additional
superhuman powers which may be
magical in nature.
The precise origin of the Olympian gods,
like that of all of Earth's pantheons of
gods, is shrouded in legend. According to
ancient myths, the primeval Earth
goddess Gaea is the progenitor of the
principal Olympian gods. However, it is
unclear whether the Olympian race
originated on Earth, Olympus, or in
15
The Gods of Olympus
another dimension linked to Olympus.
According to ancient myths, Gaea gave
birth to the sky god Ouranos. Gaea mated
with Ouranos and bore him the first
generation of the Olympian race, known
as the Titans. One of the Titans, Cronus,
rose to power when he fatally wounded
Ouranos. The dying Ouranos prophesied
that Cronus would likewise be overthrown
by one of his own children. As a result,
upon the birth of each of Cronus's
children, Cronus had the infant
imprisoned in Tartarus, the most dismal
section of the Olympian underworld
known as Hades. Appalled at the
mistreatment of their children, Cronus's
wife, the Titaness Rhea, concealed her
sixth pregnancy from him and secretly
gave birth to Zeus in the land now called
Greece. Zeus grew to adulthood among
the human shepherds of Crete. Zeus set
his siblings - Neptune, Pluto, Hera,
Demeter, and Vesta, now all grown to
adulthood - free from Tartarus. Zeus and
his allies fought a ten year war with the
Titans which ended with Zeus's victory.
He imprisoned most of the male Titans in
Tartarus and established himself in
Olympus as supreme ruler of the
Olympian race.
Zeus married the goddess Hera, but he
engaged in many affairs with goddesses
and mortal Earthwomen. Some of his
children were gods. Zeus Hera, Neptune,
Demter, and Vesta, together with Zeus's
children Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena,
Hephaestus, Hermes, and Venus,
comprised the membership of the high
council of the Olympian gods, known as
the Pantheon. Vesta later resigned her
seat in the council if favor of Zeus's son
Dionysus. Zeus's brother Pluto was not a
member of the Pantheon, preferring to
spend virtually all of his time within
Hades, which he ruled.
retains affection for and interest in the
people of Earth. Zeus's children Hercules
and Venus have spent periods living
among Earth mortals in recent years. An
alternate future has been depicted in
which Zeus and the other Olympians,
except for Hercules, leave their plane of
existence in the 23rd century so that
Hercules may father a new race of gods.
Whether the Olympian gods will come to
such an end in what becomes the
"mainstream" future has yet to be
revealed.

After the end of the Hyborian Age, the

Olympian gods sought worshippers on
Earth. Neptune became the patron god of
the water-breathing Atlanteans, Zeus
sought that the Olympian gods be
worshipped by the people of the land now
known as Greece. Mount Olympus lay
near Olympia, the principal city of the
Eternals. Zeus and his daughter Athena
met with Zuras, the leader of the Eternals,
and his daughter Azura. Noticing the
physical resemblance between Zeus and
Zuras and between Azura and herself,
Athena suggested that the Olympian gods
and the Eternals form an alliance in which
the Eternals wold act as the gods'
representatives on Earth. The other three
enthusiastically agreed, and Azura took
her current name of Thena to signify the
sealing of the pact. However, over the
years, many humans came tot think of
many Eternals not as the gods'
representatives but as the gods
themselves. This led to a growing
resentment by the gods towards the
Eternals, which recently erupted into war,
but today they are again at peace.

Worship of the Olympian gods spread

from Greece to Rome, and throughout the
Roman Empire. But when Christianity
finally replaced the worship of the
Olympian gods in the Roman Empire,
Zeus decided that the time had come for
the Olympians to break most of their ties
with Earth. Neptune, however, was still
allowed to watch over his Atlantean
worshippers. Nevertheless, Zeus still

HISTORY:
Venus was known as Aphrodite by her
earliest worshipers in ancient Greece.
She is the daughter of Zeus and Dione,
the oak-goddess and one of the Titans.
She was born on the island of Cythera
although later myths claimed she was
formed by the foam of the sea. She is one
of the most favored of the goddesses of
Olympus and had worshipers as far away
as Phoenicia, which according to some
myths was her favored city. On the day of
her maturity, Zeus feared that the gods
would fight over Venus' hand in marriage
because of her unparalleled beauty, and
thus he married her off to the smith-god,
her half-brother Hephaestus. This union
however was much to Aphrodite's
disapproval. As a hedonistic goddess,
Venus was most displeased to be married
to the lame, sooty, hard-working
Hephaestus. Venus had affairs while
wedded to Hephaestus with both gods
and mortals. She cheated on him with
Ares, Dionysus, Hermes and Poseidon.
She bore children to all of them except
Hephaestus. She also bore Aeneas, the
ancestor of the Romans, to the mortal
Anchines. The latter union was not truly of
Aphrodite's own choosing as Zeus forced
her to unite with Anchises as punishment
for using her powers to join the gods in
unions with mortals. The most famous of
Venus' relationships was to the mortal
Adonis, one of the most attractive men in
the lands, although his life was cut short
in the prime of his youth. Even though
Venus was married to Hephaestus, her
favorite lover was Ares. To Ares, she bore
Harmonia and Eros (Cupid) who grew to
be his mother's herald as the god of love.
To Hermes, she bore Hermaphroditus, to
Poseidon she bore Rhode and Herophile
and to Dionysus she bore Priapus - who
had huge genitals magically given to him
by Hera in disapproval for Aphrodite's
promiscuity. Eventually alerted about his
wife by the sun-god Helios, Hephaestus
caught Venus and Ares together in one of
their unions, and to this day Venus and
Hephaestus have been estranged.
Venus was indirectly responsible for the
Trojan War that took place centuries ago
in Troy on the Dardanian plain at the end
of the Twelfth Century BC. In a contest
among herself, Hera and Athena to
decide who was the most beautiful
goddess of all, the Trojan prince Paris
was approached by Hermes to play the
role of arbitrator for the three goddesses -
each of whom promised him a reward
from whomever he chose. Venus
promised him the most beautiful woman
in all of Greece who at the time was
Helen, her half-sister by Zeus. Helen was
a princess of Sparta and wife of King
Menelaus, heir to the throne of Mycenae.
Paris chose Venus, and hence the love-
goddess had her son Eros entrance
Helen causing her to fall in love with Paris
and subsequently leave her husband, her
daughter Hermione, and her kingdom for
Troy. In response to Helen's
abandonment, Menelaus sought the help
of his brother, King Agamemnon of
Sparta, who rallied the Greek kings and
armies against Troy for control of the
Hellespont. Among the warriors engaged
in this war was Ajax the Great, King
Odysseus of Ithaca and the nearly
invulnerable demigod warrior, Achilles,
against the hero and Trojan prince,
Hector, defending the Troy. Around 50
BC, Aphrodite encountered and fell in
love with Narcissus, who rejected her
love. She cursed him to meet someone
who would not return his love and know
heartbreak and torture. Narcissus found
just that when he spied his reflection in a
pond and fell in love with himself
eventually turning into the flower that was
named after him.
By the 1940s, during an apparent
absence from Zeus, Aphrodite adopted
her Roman named Venus. (See her entry
in the Silver Age Book for more
details.) Venus became involved in a
plot by Pluto who convinced Zeus to
marry her to Ares while marrying
Hercules to Hippolyta, thus eliminating his
two greatest obstacles for an invasion of
Olympus. This plan led to the formation of
the Champions of Los Angeles and
together with Venus, they defeated Pluto.
Aphrodite wouldn't be seen again until
2009. In this appearance Aphrodite
discovers the Siren Venus has been
impersonating her much to her
disapproval and anger. With the help of
Hera, Aphrodite sends one of her
centaurs to kidnap Venus whom she
views as an impostor. Venus is bound
and gagged and brought back to
Aphrodite's temple where she is chained,
branded with a poker and put before a
statue of Aphrodite. Through the statue
Aphrodite expresses her outrage that
Venus has stolen her name and form and
reminisces on her status as Goddess of
love and the influence she has had on the
world, and what it means to be a true
God. The Agents of Atlas, with the help of
the X-Men, track Venus using Cerebro
and rescues her from the temple.
Following this appearance, Aphrodite still
angered by the siren, Venus sends
Phorcys, Venus' creator to reclaim her but
is halted by the Agents of Atlas. After the
destruction of Olympus and the death and
rebirth of Zeus, Hera takes control of the APOLLO
Olympus Group, a corporation that
handles the Olympians' Earthly God of Light, Medicine, Music, Poetry,
enterprises, and uses her power to create Prophecy and the Sciences
a product that would bring about
mankind's extinction. In order to stop her, Phoebus Apollo

HISTORY:
Apollo is one of the race of Olympians
once worshiped as gods by the Greeks
and Romans. He is also the only one to
be worshiped by the same name by the
Greco-Romans. Born to the Titaness
Leto, Apollo was the eldest of the six
Olympian sons of Zeus, and his second
child, after Artemis who, birthed instants
before, helped Leto deliver Apollo shortly
she gave birth to her brother. As Zeus's
jealous wife Hera prohibited Leto from
giving birth on solid group by mystically
compelling all the interconnected lands to
reject her, she took refuge and had to
deliver the twins on the floating island of
Delos. To show her gratitude, Leto would
later secure Delos with four pillars. The
siblings soon discovered their natural
talent for archery and, using arrows
forged by Hephaestus, slew the Earth-
serpent Python that Hera had sent to
attack Leto.
Upon reaching adulthood, Apollo
impregnated Coronis, daughter of King
Phlegyas of the Lapiths, and she gave
birth to their son Asklepios, god of
medicine. Apollo was among the gods
who opposed Hercules and his attempts
to convince Zeus to wage war against the
Asgardians. He was a witness when Zeus
granted a portion of his power to Thor to
assist in resurrecting the Asgardians that
20
were slain by the Celestials. Apollo
helped Thor and other storm-gods and
light-gods from other pantheons fight off
Demogorge the God-Eater. Apollo and
the other gods were consumed by
Demogorge, but were later saved by
Thor. At some point, the lust of Apollo fall
upon Cassandra, prophetic daughter of
King Priam of Troy. As she refused his
favors, he decreed that no one would
believe her prophecies. He was
presented at the (Zeus-decreed) wedding
of sea-goddess Thetis and Peleus,
greatest of the Achaean warriors, which
would cause the events that would lead to
the Trojan War (orchestrated by Zeus to
decimate Earth's overcrowded
population). His son Asklepios and
grandson Machaon would join the
Achaeans. At some point, he asked
Apollo and Poseidon to build
impenetrable walls around his city, but
refused to pay for their services, enraging
them. It is unknown if Apollo participated
in Poseidon's retaliation in 1264 B.C.
After reaching Troy, the Achaeans
attacked the neighboring cities, including
Troy-allied Chryse where Achilles
enslaved Chryseïs, daughter of Apollo's
priest Chryses, who went to Agamemnon.
In the ninth year of the war, Chryses
caused Apollos' arrows to rain death on
the Achaeans, causing Agamemnon to
surrender her. Wishing to avenge his
friend Patroclus and Antilochus, Achilles
forced the Trojans into the city, but Apollo
ordered him to back off from the gates. As
Achilles threatened him and pursued the
Trojans against his command, Apollo
went to Paris and guided his arrow to
Achilles' vulnerable spot, eventually killing
him. He later guided as well Philoctetes,
who killed Paris using the Bow of
Heracles. Achaean seer Calchas later
told Odysseus that Cassandra's brother
Helenus would venture to a far temple of
Apollo, and thus threatened him, learning
what elements were to be gathered for
Troy to fall. Apollo later witnessed the
battle from Olympus, such as Telephus'
son Eurypylus clash with Achilles' son
Neoptolemus. When the Achaeans finally
entered the city, Apollo's temple was
surrounded by the Argives' flames. Along
with Poseidon, Apollo was seemingly of
the Gods who made the journey back to
Greece difficult to some of the Achaean
warriors.
Apollo joined a number of the other
Olympian gods to the planet Venus when
they were under the brief rule of the
goddess Venus. In 1948, Venus had
returned to Earth and taken up a job as a
model and editor of Beauty Magazine.
When she returned to Venus, searching
for 10 of the most beautiful women under
her rule to use in a magazine spread to
compete against rival publication Lovely
Lady Magazine, Apollo helped Venus
gather the women she needed. Later,
having grown tired of Venus' frequent
absences from her kingdom, Apollo
travelled to Earth to see what took her
attention there. Taking on the guise of
Paul Belvedere, Apollo got a job at
Beauty Magazine to find out why Venus
was so interested in the lives of mortals.
Finding this task unworthy, Apollo made it
so that the sun remained up 24 hours a
day until Venus agreed to return to her
kingdom with him. She agreed, and both
returned to the planet Venus. Once there,
however, Venus used her restored
powers to force Apollo to remain
on the planet, effectively
preventing any further meddling,
before returning to Earth.
Once more loyal to Venus, Apollo
assisted her in locating Hera, who
used the name Juno at the time.
Apollo next helped Venus in
gathering a number of male
Olympians to pose as mortal
boyfriends in order to make Venus'
lover, Whitney Hammond, jealous.
Zeus soon returned, taking his
Roman name of Jupiter. He sought
to return Venus to Olympus, and
agreed to the following challenge:
Venus had a week to find two
mortal lovers who could not be
tempted away from each other.
Venus found this couple in Meg
Saunders and her husband-to-be
Danny; Jupiter then enlisted Apollo
and Daphne to go to Earth and try to split
the couple apart. Both went to Earth,
posing as Hollywood actors, and
attempted to split the couple up. When
charm did not work, Apollo made it
appear as though Meg murdered him, so
that when she was arrested, Daphne
could move in and seduce Danny. This
plan ultimately failed. Later, when
Asgardian trickster Loki came to Earth to
force Venus into marrying him, Apollo lent
his power to assist her in beating him, but
to no avail. It was not until she readily
sacrificed herself to Loki that Jupiter
stepped in and rescued her.
In 1950, Apollo once more sought to
claim the heart of Venus, but his petitions
to Jupiter to allow him to return to Earth
were denied. Undeterred, Apollo travelled
to Hades and made a deal with a demon
named Zoroba to have the demon
possess his body while Apollo's spirit
travelled to Earth. Unbeknownsr to
Apollo, Zoroba used his position to
convince Jupiter to free Loki from his exile
in Hades and allow him to reside at
Olympus. Apollo found his spirit form
unable to interact with Venus, and so he
possessed the body of Beauty Magazine
21
artist Marvin Klee. This time, Venus could
not find herself able to resist Apollo's
advances; however, she eventually
learned what Zoroba was doing, and
when she informed Apollo, he attempted
to return to his body, but found he could
not do so while Zoroba possessed it.
Venus then tricked Zoroba into coming to
Earth, freeing Apollo's body and allowing
his spirit to return to it. This thwarted
Loki's attempts to get free from his exile,
and Apollo was punished by Jupiter for
his actions. Apollo later redeemed himself
when defending Olympus from invasion
by monsters that were literally spawned
from the mind of mad scientist Professor
Buffanoff. However, the creatures were
too powerful, and could not be stopped
until Venus tricked them into returning to
the dying brain of their creator, where
they perished at last. In 1951, when
Apollo learned that Venus was trapped in
Cassarobia, he became worried:
Olympians' powers were prohibited in the
area by Loki. However, Loki was
convinced to lift his spell, and Venus
managed to overthrow the sultan of
Cassarobia.
When Hercules was gravely wounded
fighting the Masters of Evil, Zeus
blamed the Avengers for his
condition, while the Avengers
accused Zeus of the injuries and
asked Apollo for his help against
Zeus. Zeus learned quickly of this
betrayal and struck down Apollo
and other Olympians who had
joined the Avengers. Both saw the
errors of their ways, and Zeus had
all the gods sent to Olympus save
for Apollo, who was held back to
heal Captain America's broken
legs and Dr. Druid's head. When
Hera and Hades summoned the
other Olympians together and
revealed their plans to eliminate
Hercules and Athena, Apollo was
the most vocal against it. Apollo
later appeared at Hercules' funeral
with Athena, Poseidon, Hades,
and Hebe.

On three times he attempted to conquer
Olympus, twice in league with his uncle
Hades, god of the Olympian underworld,
but each time he was thwarted through
the efforts of his half-brother, Hercules,
and Hercules' allies. Ares hated Hercules
ever since he had killed Ares' monstrous
Stymphalian birds in the days of ancient
Greece.
During the Trojan War, he was one of
gods to observe the event. Despite Zeus
forbidding the Gods from interference,
Ares acted on a few occasions: At some
point, he stood by Achilles, mightiest of
the Argives, during the war. In the ninth
year of the conflict, after Aphrodite was
wounded by Argive Diomedes while trying
to protect her son Aeneas, she rushed to
Ares who was watching the battle from a
nearby hill. Ares entered the fight on the
Trojan side, confronting Diomedes.
Athena (supporting the Argives) guide
Diomedes, whose blade pierced Ares,
forcing him to flee back to Olympus. The
same year, when Achilles slew his
daughter, the Amazon Penthesilea, Ares
enraged, wishing to slay him turn, but
remain in Olympus, remembering that
Zeus himself has lost many sons in wars
and that he had forbidden Olympian
interference in the war. During the tenth
and last year of conflict, after Achilles' son
Neoptolemus slew Eurypylus and stated
that no mortal could prevail over his
father's spear, Ares decided to go help
the Trojans. He was immediately
confronted to Athena, but their clash was
prevented by Zeus' thunder, and Ares
abandoned any concern he had for the
Trojans. Ares fought the French during
the Battle of Agincourt.

Regeneration: Cl1000. HISTORY:

Dimensional Travel: Unearthly (100)
Magic: Ares is not as adept at wielding
magic as his fellow Olympians are, these
are the abilities he is capable of:
The son of Zeus and Hera, Ares was
worshiped as the god of war in ancient
Greece and Rome. Ares' dissatisfaction
with Zeus' rule of Olympus began after
Zeus' decree that worship of the
Olympians should be allowed to die out.

22
 Like many Olympians, Ares accepted the
rule of Aphrodite during an apparent
leave of absence from Zeus. Olympus
was relocated to the planet Venus and
most of the Olympians adopted their
Roman names. Ares took up the name
Mars during the time. In 1949, Mars was
among the various Olympians gathered
by Aphrodite (now calling herself Venus)
as potential subjects to make her mortal
lover Whitney Hammond jealous. In the
end Samson was chosen over the others.
In 1951, Mars was summoned by Jupiter
to assist Venus along with the Asgardian
thunder god Thor to assist Venus in
defending New York City from the insane
inventor John Dark and his mechanized
army. Mars attempted to appeal to the
pride Dark felt when he previously served
in the United States Army, but this did not
succeed and Thor was forced to slay
Dark. After this Ares resumed using his
Grecian name and withdrew from
interacting with the mortal world once
again.

In recent years, Ares tried to set two of

Earth's nations at war with each other.
The conflict threatened to spread over all
of the Earth, until Ares was forced to put
an end to it by his half-sister Venus,
whom he has long sought in marriage,
and the hero known as the Sub-Mariner.
Venus and the Sub-Mariner extracted a
pledge from Ares not to engage in further
warmongering on Earth. This did not stop
Ares from joining with Hera in order to
torment Hercules personally, when Ares
briefly possessed the mortal Thunder God
Eric Masterson to battle his half-brother.
Ares tired of his own warmongering when
he realized that was why the other gods
despised him and decided to live a
normal life. He gave up his position as
god of war, but maintained his skills,
weaponry, and immortality. On Earth, he
set himself up as a builder/carpenter. He
would later father a son with an
unidentified mother. Ares was later forced
to help his fellow Olympians when his son
Alexander was captured by Mikaboshi.
With the help of Zeus, Alexander was
freed, and the Kami assisted the
Olympians against Mikaboshi. Still

23
insistent that his son have a mortal
upbringing, Ares returned to his life as a
construction worker in Dover, New Jersey
where he worked during the enactment of
the Superhuman Registration Act.
Immediately following the super hero Civil
War over its legislation, Iron Man and Ms.
Marvel traveled to Ares' construction site
to recruit him for their new Avengers
team. Agreeing that the heroes had
ruined his civilian cover, Ares eventually
agreed to join the team after Iron Man
threatened to deport him to Olympus if he
did not register with the U.S. government
and promised a salary similar to that of
his construction job.
He immediately proved himself by playing
a big role against an Ultron infected Iron
Man, assisting against a symbiote
mutated city, arresting Doctor Doom, and
taking part in the battle against the Hulk
and his Warbound. Ares was in charge of
punishing his half-brother Hercules for
aiding the Hulk. He however, failed to
contain and recapture Hercules after he
escaped and even lost to him in single
combat. His final act in the Mighty
Avengers was aiding them against an
enormous Skrull invasion. Although Ares
was able to get along with most of the
Mighty Avengers, his morals and tactics
on saving the Earth for the greater good
differed. After the invasion, Ares
remained a registered superhuman and
accepted a place in Norman Osborn's
Avengers alongside Mighty Avengers
teammate Sentry. He did not understand
his former team leader Carol Danvers'
(Ms. Marvel's) reluctance to work for
Osborn. He viewed his new alliance with
the ex-villain simply as continuing the
fight that the original Mighty Avengers
had started on terrorist-level superhuman,
and natural threats against America and
even the entire planet. Misled into
believing Asgard's presence on Earth and
Thor's exile from that same kingdom were
a part of an evil plot begun by Loki (who
he was also led to believe was leading
the Asgardians), Ares was charged with
leading the assault on Asgard. While
many of his Dark Avengers teammates
and members of the Hood's forces posing
as Initiative teams took on Thor, Ares
found himself in battle with Balder.
Though he believed Balder to be under
Loki's influence, the arrival of an injured
Heimdall and the truth he shared, led
Ares to realize his mistake. Enraged at
having been manipulated, he confronted
Iron Patriot and vowed to rip his head off.
Before he could launch his attack,
however, Iron Patriot signaled for the
Sentry. Newly possessed of a need for
more power, he silently began his assault
on Ares and after several powerful blows
he grabbed Ares by both arms and ripped
him in half, killing him.
Ares was next sighted after Alex's
(Phobos) death on the fields of Elysium.
He asked his son if he did all he could
and then stood proudly with him. Chaos
King later brought Ares back to life to fight
him. Ares fought well but was overtaken
by the unlimited power of the Chaos King
and later returned to Elysium. After
discovering the material known as
Isotope-8 in the Battlerealm, the Collector
waged in a tournament against the
Grandmaster, a game known as the
"Contest of Champions," in which both

HISTORY:
Athena was the daughter of Zeus, Ruler
of the Olympian Gods, and his first
consort Metis, the goddess of prudence
and daughter of the Titan sea-deities
Oceanus and Tethys. After defeating the
earlier generation of gods known as the
Titans for the rule of Olympus, Zeus
chose to mate with the Titaness Metis
sometime prior to making his elder sister,
Hera, his lawful wife and Queen of the
gods. Thus, Zeus' union with Metis
resulted in Athena being born near Lake
Tritonis in Libya. Tritonis was controlled
by her cousin, the god Triton, a son of the
sea-lord Poseidon. After Athena's birth
however, Zeus was informed of a
prophecy given by his grandmother Gaea
that Metis' second child by Zeus would be
a god more powerful than his father and
who would replace him as ruler of the
gods as Zeus had done to his father
Cronus who likewise had replaced his
father Ouranos. Hence, Metis exiled
herself from Olympus to prevent the
prophecy from coming to pass. Raised by
her elder cousin Triton, Athena
befriended Pallas, his daughter who was
similar in age to her. Athena accidentally
killed Pallas during a bout of simulated
combat and thus annexed Pallas' name to
her own in memory of her fallen cousin.
To this day she is sometimes called
Pallas Athena. Of all of Zeus's numerous
offspring, Athena has always had the king
of the gods favor above all others. This
may be due to the fact that Athena's
personal interests have always diverged
from those of the other gods. Whereas
most of the Olympian deities have
focused their lives on pursuing hedonism
and are usually controlled by their
passions and engage in petty bickering
amongst themselves, Athena's
temperament has usually been more
humble in comparison and has always
striven to pursue and act with knowledge
and wisdom. Athena was so favored by
her father that she was the only god-child
of Zeus allowed to wear the Aegis, the
magically-protective breastplate of Zeus.
The only other exception of Zeus'
offspring wearing the Aegis was when his
mortal demigod son Perseus, by the
human princess Danae, was allowed to
use it with Athena's blessing when
confronting the Gorgon called Medusa.
Throughout the millenia Athena has had
many encounters with mortals in the
lands of Greece when the gods were
formally worshiped. Among these
incidents include her competition with the
mortal called Arachne. Arachne was a
vain woman who considered her weaving
ability greater than that of Athena's. To
resolve the matter, a competition was
declared between the two where they
would weave tapestries. Arachne created
a tapestry that depicted events that
happened in the lives of the gods and
Athena, consumed with rage and jealousy
at Arachne's handiwork, tore Arachne's
tapestry apart causing the girl to flee and
subsequently commit suicide in her grief.
As penance for her actions, Athena cast a
spell over Arachne and transformed her
into a spider, preserving her life and
allowing her to spin and weave via the
natural abilities of a spider until the day
she died in her new form. This was one of
few episodes of Athena losing her temper
and acting just as petty as the other gods
as she is usually a more even-tempered
goddess in relation to her peers.
Another encounter with a mortal was
when she made a sojourn from Olympus
to Earth and was spied upon by Teresias
while bathing. Unlike her sister Artemis
who once when spied upon by the hunter
Actaeon became enraged and
manipulated events which led to his
death, Athena instead cast a spell on
Teresias which blinded him but to
compensate for this endowed him with
the gift of precognition. Athena also
participated in the Trojan War which
occurred from 1194 B.C. to 1184 B.C.,
taking the side of the Greek warriors
against the Trojans to avenge, at least in
her mind, an insult performed on her by
the Trojan prince Paris. Paris had
deemed Venus as the most beautiful
goddess of all after a contest was formed
among Venus, Athena and Hera to be
judged as "the most beautiful". During the
war, Athena fought against Ares, and
28
empowered Prince Argive so that he
could strike Ares a near-mortal wound.
Athena's encounters included her
dealings with both mortal and demigod
champions. Among these included
Perseus, her half-brother, whom she
aided in his mission concerning Medusa;
Jason whom she aided in his quest for
the magical Golden Fleece and imparted
to him a magical talking oak as an
oracular guide attached to his ship, the
Argo; Cadmus whom she aided in slaying
the dragon of Ares; Odysseus (Ulysses)
whom she aided in returning home to
Ithaca from the Trojan War and
reclaiming his kingdom; and Heracles
(Hercules), another half-brother of hers
whom she aided during the course of his
legendary Twelve Labors. All these
heroes she aided in their various quests

their adventures.
Athena was one of the most beloved
goddesses among the Grecian peoples.
So much so that the city known as Athens
was named for her from its original name
of Attica and during the days of ancient
Greece she was the protector of its
people. The naming of the city in Athena's
honor took place after she won a contest
between her and her uncle, the sea-god
Poseidon to decide who would lay claim
to the city. Poseidon gave the people a
salty spring to curry their favor but they
ultimately chose Athena over Poseidon
when the goddess provided an olive tree
that was more useful. Thus, she became
the patron goddess of Athens. Athena
was also worshiped under the Latin name
of Minerva during the days of ancient
Rome. Athena observed as Hercules
attempted to convince Zeus to wage war
on Asgard. Ares confided to her that he
hoped Hercules would be successful.
Athena stood alongside Zeus as he
forbade Pluto from working on earth.
Athena observed Pluto's conflict with
Zeus. Athena accompanied Zeus to a

aid in opposing the Eternals. Athena

Running Cronos:
Cronus is a ruthless leader, capable of
violence not only towards his family
members but those who follow him.
HISTORY:
Eons ago, the primordial Sky Father
Ouranus mated with the primordial Earth
mother Gaea producing a number of
powerful offspring: the Titans, the
Cyclopes and centimanes. Ouranus
feared his children would usurp his power
so he imprisoned the centimanes and
cyclopes in Tartarus, the dark abyss of
the underworld. Gaea, disgusted with the
treatment of her children urged the Titans
to overthrow Ouranus. The youngest
Cronus agreed and led his brothers into
ambushing Ouranus in his sleep. He then
castrated him with a sickle given to him
by Gaea. A dying Ouranus prophesized
that one of Cronus' own children when
overthrow him just as he had overthrown
Ouranus. Cronus then took his sister
Rhea as his wife and became the new
ruler of the Olympian dimension. Cronus
ruled over a period of time on Earth
remembered as a Golden Age.
Supposedly the men of this time period
need no law due to being naturally
virtuous and obeyed Cronus
unquestionably. However, Cronus feared
Ouranus' prophecy so he kept the
cyclopes and centimanes imprisoned in
Tartarus. Any child Rhea bore him he
either imprisoned in Tartarus or by his
own account ate and imprisoned in his

30
stomach to prevent them from being a
threat. Rhea hid the youngest Zeus by
tricking Cronus into swallowing a stone.
When Zeus grew to adulthood he
poisoned Cronus to vomit up his siblings
and led them in a 10-year war with the
Titans known as the Titanomachy. Zeus
one the war by freeing the cyclopes and
centimanes from Tartarus. With the
strength of the centimanes and new
weapons/powers granted by the cyclopes
Zeus defeated the Titans. He imprisioned
all of them including Cronus in Tartarus.
He left only the female Titans, Titans who
did not fight against him, and a few giants
free. Zeus then took his place as the new
Olympian skyfather.
Eons later, during a series of battles when
the mindless Hulk was sent to Olympus
weakened one of the seals on Tartarus
allowing Cronus to escape and lead a
small army of giants in an attempt to take
back Olympus. Cronus and his giants
were quickly defeated by Hercules and
Zeus' other offspring. Cronus himself was
driven back into Tartarus and the breach
sealed. Later, when Pluto put Zeus on
trial for being an unworthy godhead
Cronus was called to testify. He explained
how Zeus rose to power through fraud,
poison, and patricide and that Zeus
deserved Cronus' punishment as much as
Cronus himself.

her sister Vestla ever deigned to rule,
Zeus establishing all his sibling and
potential rivals to some responsibility
positions, with Demeter watching over the
land, Zeus made himself as monarch of
the Olympus and the Olympian gods and
could rule a peaceful Olympus. Demeter
became the Goddess of Harvest,
Agriculture, and Fertility, and would often
visit mortals and teach them the
necessary skills of agriculture.
Since her older sister, Vestla, chose to
remain an eternal virgin, she was the first
goddess who caught the romantic
attentions of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades,
especially since she was beautiful in her
own right, kind-hearted, and an excellent
cook. However, Demeter turned down all
their proposals of marriage, for she
preferred to devote herself to her duties
as the Goddess of the Harvest and
Fertility. However, there came a time
where Zeus was determined to court
Demeter. Despite a shape-shifting
struggle between the two, Zeus
successfully seduced Demeter after
transforming into a serpent. They enjoyed
a relationship that resulted in Demeter's
first child: a very beautiful daughter
named Persephone. Though the affair
later ended, Demeter was still happy, for
she loved her daughter dearly.
Persephone grew up without want,
always by the side of her mother, who
shared some of her power over the earth
with her, and she eventually became the
Goddess of Springtime and Flowers. In
fact, Demeter loved Persephone so
dearly that she viewed her as the light of
her life, and took to spending all of her
time with her.
While Demeter loved all of her children
dearly, Persephone remained her favorite
child of all, the one whom she took to
spending whatever free time she had
with. Due to her great beauty,
Persephone was often desired by many
gods, but Demeter would would never
allow it. The god Hades fell in love with
her and obtained permission from Zeus to
take her as a bride without telling
Demeter. In fact, Zeus is reputed to have
suggested abduction to keep Demeter
from knowing the truth. Abducted while in
the presence of her friends the Sirens,
Persephone was taken against her will to
Tartarus where she pined for her mother
and refused to eat. Demeter mourned for
her daughter for ten days before Hecate,
looking to make trouble for Hades, told
her the truth. As a result of this, a grief-
stricken and wrathful Demeter
commanded the earth to become barren
and infertile until her daughter was

Despite being born as a mortal, Dionysus

Greece and the Roman Empire. With his

Talents: Hebe is familiar with Olympian
Mythology, Lore and History. She has an
extensive Beanie Baby collection.
Contacts: The Olympian gods, Zeus (her
father), Hera (her mother) and Hercules
(her husband).
Running Hebe:
Hebe is young, even for an ancient Greek
goddess. She is teenager-like in her
approach to most problems or solution,
however she doesn't act like a petulent
child. She is brave, engaging in combat
when needed, but knows that it isn't her
strong suit.
HISTORY:
The third child of Zeus and Hera (her
brothers are Ares and Hephaestus), she
is the Goddess of Youth and the cup-
bearer of the gods, responsible for
brewing ambrosia. She was married to
the newly-divine Hercules as a peace-
offering between Hercules and her
mother Hera, and for a time the two of
them had a happy relationship. However,
Hercules grew dissatisfied with life on
Olympus, and returned to the mortal
world in the late 20th century in search of
adventure. He also began having affairs,
which left Hebe distraught, as Hera told
her that the failure of her marriage was
her fault.
In the modern era, following the
destruction of Olympus at the hands of
Amatsu-Mikaboshi, Hebe served her
mother Hera as a secretary at the
Olympus Group. She later arranges for
Norman Osborn and his Dark Avengers to
arrive on the site of a battle between Hera
and Hercules' group, believing that her
ultimate duty was still to him. When Hera
discovered her betrayal, she blasted
Hebe with her thunderbolt, sending her
hurtling out of the Olympus Group tower
to the ground. Relatively unharmed, she
fled the scene in search of Hercules, but
could not find him. She is later discovered
by Aunt May living with a group of
homeless people in Central Park, and is
convinced to take her followers to a
shelter at which May works. May quickly
befriends Hebe, whose ambrosia mixture
makes the shelter a huge success. May
sets her up on a blind date with her
nephew Peter Parker, which is interrupted
by an angry Hercules. Hebe tearfully
confronts him about why he abandoned
her, and Hercules admits that it was
never her that drove him away, rather, his
desire for adventure, as he cannot be
happy as a god away from the world.
Hebe says that she loves him for that,
and the two depart on better terms, with
Spider-Man, to confront Hera's evil
scheme. However, Hebe's joy of reunion
with her former husband was quickly
dashed away when Hercules apparently
sacrificed himself to save Earth.
She subsequently becomes Amadeus
Cho's assistant when he takes over the
Olympus Group, and is ecstatic to learn
that Hercules was not found in the HECATE
Underworld. Hebe's ambrosia is revealed
to be one of the four elements needed to Goddess of Magic, Witches and

Running Hecate:
Hecate wants revenge for the wrongs
against her. She revels in her powers and
abilities, using them to suit her needs,
punish her enemies and torment those
she wishes to lord over.
HISTORY:
Hecate was one of the Titans who lived
on Olympus and ruled the ancient world
before Zeus conquered it. As a Titan, she
predates Zeus and the twelve Olympians,
and she also predates humanity like all
Titans. When Zeus conquered Olympus,
Hecate was one of the Titans he spared.
He allowed Hecate to keep her title as
Goddess of the Underworld. However
when Pluto instead chose to take
Persephone as his wife, Hecate retaliated
by becoming the greatest sorcerer of
Olympus and became the Goddess of
Magic, Witches and Witchcraft. To further
add insult, Hecate started and mothered
the line of witches on Earth when she
revealed secrets of the dead and taught
magic to the very first Witches of the
world. She was the very first deity to give
magic to mortals, while gods like Chthon
and Agamotto did so later on, after her.
However she did this after Zeus forbade
the Gods from meddling in human affairs
after a run-in with the Celestials. When
Hecate was exiled from Olympus by
Zeus, he wiped her memories and
stripped her powers.
Hecate believed she was an
extradimensional female humanoid
scientist and explorer, who was merely
mistaken for the goddess Hecate when
she visited Earth thousands of years ago.
She allied with and later opposed the
Elementals while seeking the Ruby
Scarab. Imprisoned on the Raft and
suffering amnesia, Hecate escaped
alongside Man-Bull, Griffin, and Basilisk.
Journeying to Brooklyn with them, she
helped them attempt to rob a bank, where
38
they soon found themselves opposed by
Hercules. While battling her allies,
Hercules briefly dropped the Shield of
Perseus, an object capable of turning
anyone who looked at it into stone. When
Hecate picked up the shield and stared
into it, she found her memories and magic
restored, and realized she was in fact the
true Olympian Goddess of Magic, and
she vowed to conquer Brooklyn and kill
Hercules, as an act of revenge against
Zeus for exiling her from Olympus and
wiping her memory and powers.
Using the fear being spread worldwide by
the Serpent's forces, she joined with
Kyknos whom she demanded to kill
Hercules. Hecate used her regained
magic in an effort to remake Brooklyn in
their image by casting a spell to warp all
of Brooklyn into an ancient Greek version
of itself and turning its inhabitants into
monsters. When Kyknos is killed by
Hercules, Hecate teleports away, causing
Brooklyn and its inhabitants to revert to
normal. Many years later, the Scarlet
Witch locates Hekate on the Greek island
of Santorini. There she has taken up the
guise of a cafe owner and seems to be
living a humble lifestyle. Wanda explains
that she has sought the Goddess out and
displays a deep respect for her,
explaining that she looks to Hekate for
guidance as the Goddess of witches. She
refers to Hekate during this meeting as
'my goddess' and 'mother'. Hekate goes
on to explain that she hasn't cast a spell
in years and admits that regardless, she
might choose one day to take over the
world again. After a brief conversation
between the two, reminiscing on the other
Olympian Gods amongst other things,
Hekate agrees to help her. After helping
the Scarlet Witch stop a Minotaur in
Santorini, she was killed by the Emerald
Warlock to prevent Wanda from cashing
in on a debt owed to her by the Goddess.

Running Hephaestus:
Hephaestus is an industrious god who
prefers to spend his time in his workshop,

he caught him with Venus.

HISTORY:
Hephaestus was the son of the king and
queen of the Olympians; Zeus and Hera.
Hera threw him from Olympus because
he was crippled; he fell into the ocean
and was raised by Thetis. It is on Earth
where he became a master craftsman. He

Running Hera:
Hera resents her husband Zeus's
adultery. This makes her a bitter goddess
who occasionally tries either to prevent
Zeus from wandering or to do away with
his mistresses. For a long time, she tried
to kill Hercules, but she later mellowed
out and begrudgingly accepted him.
HISTORY:
Hera is the youngest daughter of Cronus
and Rhea beings known as Titans who
once ruled Olympus. The Titans were the
offspring of the sky god Ouranos and the
primeval earth goddess Gaea. Cronus
overthrew his father's rule by fatally
wounding him. The dying Ouranus
prophesied that Cronus would likewise be
overthrown by one of his own children. As
a result, upon the birth of each of his own
children, Cronus had the infant
imprisoned in Tartarus, the most dismal
section of the extra dimensional
underworld known as Hades. The
offspring he sent there were Hades,
Poseidon, Demeter, Hestia and Hera.
Appalled at the mistreatment of their
children, Cronus's wife Rhea concealed
her sixth pregnancy from him and secretly
gave birth to Zeus and hid him on Crete.
Zeus grew to adulthood and then set
about taking revenge on Cronus. Zeus
went down into Tartarus and freed his
siblings. Hera and the others fought a ten
year war with the Titans which ended with
Zeus's victory. They imprisoned most of
the male Titans in Tartarus. Hera married
Zeus and along with Poseidon, Demeter
and Hestia, together with Zeus's children
Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena,
Hephaestus, Hermes, and Venus,
comprised the membership of the high
council of the Olympian gods known as
the Pantheon. Hestia later resigned her
seat in the council in favor of Zeus's son
Dionysus. Zeus's brother Hades was not
a member of the Pantheon, preferring to
spend virtually all of his time within
Hades, which he ruled.
In 1919, she and Frigga, wife of Odin,
chieftain of the Asgardian Gods,
discovered Mark Cadmon living on the
streets of Chicago, Illinois and saw his
true untapped potential. They placed him
among a group of other young adults who
became known as the Young Gods, and
when the Fourth Host of the Celestials
occurred, Gaea produced the Young
Gods to the Celestials as what the human
race could attain if allowed to exist. The
Celestials accepted the Young Gods as
prime examples of humanity and
departed Earth taking the Young Gods
with them. By the late 1940s, Hera --
assuming her Roman name of Juno-- had
relocated with the other Olympians to the
planet Venus and were briefly under the
rule of Aphrodite who took on her Roman
name as well. When Venus came to the
aid of an office girl named Lucy whose
boyfriend Frank Foster became obsessed
with Juno, Venus decided to let him meet
her face to face. The easily jealous Juno
proved to too much for Frank to handle
after the goddess got into a fight with a
waitress. Later, when Juno crossed paths
with Venus' lover Whitney Hammond.
With her romance in jeopardy, Venus
returned Juno back to Olympus.
40
After Zeus' death at the hands of
Mikaboshi's, Hera inherited his
thunderbolt and position as ruler of the
Olympians, promising a new era to her
race. However, Hera abused both of her
powers as well as of her subordinates,
indirectly killing Amadeus Cho's parents,
making an uneasy alliance with Norman
Osborn, bullying Poseidon into
submission with Pluto's help, expelling
Apollo and Artemis simply for not being
her children, and extending her hatred
over her own children like Ares,
Hephaestus and Hebe for even the
smallest disobedience. Ultimately, her
ambition grew to the point that she tried to
recreate the whole universe with the
Continuum, but while resurrected as a
child, Zeus convinced her to give up such
insanity. Unfortunately, Typhon,
temporarily controlled by Hera's mystical
powers betrayed her, slaying both her
and Zeus while protected by the Aegis
breastplate,. Their souls where promptly
taken by Thanatos to the underworld.
Their souls would not rest forever.
Mikaboshi, now calling himself the Chaos
King, conquered the relative spirit realms
of the gods of earth and enslaved all the
souls, included Zeus and Hera in Hades.
Hercules resurrected both of them under
his own power. When Hulk tried to force
Zeus to cure A-Bomb and Red She-Hulk,
Hera sensed his true noble reasons and
informed them to everyone present. She
mocked the Hulk, but Zeus still refused to
help, claiming that such kind of altruism is
the "wrong religion." Zeus quickly beat up
the green Goliath into submission. Hera
witnessed Hercules freeing Hulk of his
torment, and, when she asked Zeus why
he allowed Hercules to do such thing,
Zeus replied that the Hulk brought his
own punishment upon himself long ago.

sacred herd of cattle, cleverly reversing
41
their hooves to make it difficult to follow
their tracks. Hermes therefore became
associated with thieves and he kept the
stolen herd in return for giving Apollo his
lyre. As messenger and herald, Hermes is
involved in many mythological stories.
Most celebrated was his killing of the
many-eyed monster Argos on the orders
of Zeus in order to free Io. Hermes also
freed Ares from his year-long
imprisonment in a cauldron by the twin
Giants Otus and Ephialtes. One of his
most famous regular roles was as a
leader of souls to the river Styx in the
underworld, where the boatman Charon
would take them to Hades.
Hermes is known as a trickster, stealing
at one time or another Poseidon’s trident,
Artemis’ arrows, and Aphrodite’s girdle.
He was also credited with inventing fire,
dice, musical instruments, in particular,
the lyre (from a turtle shell), and the
alphabet. Famous for his diplomatic skills,
he was also regarded as the patron of
languages. Travelers regarded him as
their patron, and stone pillars with a
phallus symbol were set up along road
sides. In addition, Hermes was regarded
as patron of the home and people often
built small marble stelai in front of their
doors in his honor. Hermes figures in the
Trojan War as told by Homer in the Iliad.
Although in one lengthy passage he acts
as counsellor and guide to the Trojan
King Priam in his attempt to reclaim the
body of his fallen son Hektor, Hermes
actually supports the Achaeans in the
Trojan War. The god is most often
described by Homer as ‘Hermes the
guide, slayer of Argos’ and ‘Hermes the
kindly’. Hermes gives particular help to
Odysseus, especially on his long return
voyage to Ithaca, for example, giving him
an antidote to the spells of Circe. Another
hero helped by the god was Perseus,
Hermes giving him an unbreakable sword
of adamantine and guiding him to the
three Graeae who revealed the location of
Medusa. In ancient Greek and Classical
art, Hermes is shown holding the
kerykeion, wearing winged sandals, a
tunic, sometimes a winged cap (petasos),
and occasionally with a lyre.
By the 1940s, Hermes accompanied the
Olympian gods under the leadership of
Aphrodite, then going by Venus, as she
relocated Olympus to the planet named
after her. Hermes then known by the
name of Mercury. Zeus returned. Now
calling himself Jupiter summoned
Mercury to collect Venus from Earth after
his daughter Joya accused Venus of
turning against her godhood for the love
of a mortal. Hermes brought both Venus
and her lover Whitney Hammond to stand
trial. Venus won her right to return to
Earth. In 1950, Mercury was ordered by
Jupiter to assist Venus. Venus and rocket
scientist Randy Dover were trapped on
the moon. Later, Mercury was ordered to
bring Venus to the scientist Michael
Templar who created a device that was
pulled the Earth into the sun. In 1951,
Mercury learned that Venus was prisoner
of Sultan Khorok of Cassarobia. There
Olympians couldn't use their powers,
thanks to the Asgardian Loki. However,
Venus managed to escape to Olympus.
There Mercury and Jupiter tried to
persuade her not to return Cassarobia.
She returned ecause she didn't want to
desert lovers there. Loki was convinced to
lift his spell and Venus overthrew the
sultan of Cassarobia. With the arrival of
the Fourth Host of the Celestials, Hermes
confronted Makkari the Eternal, when
Zeus and Zuras disagreed on how to
address the Space Gods.

love goddess Venus being able to find

forsaken her godhood for the love of a
mortal. Zeus, weary of his demanding
daughter agreed to allow a trial, and both
Venus and her mortal lover Whitney

HISTORY:
Pan was the god of shepherds and
hunters, and of the meadows and forests
of the mountain wilds. His unseen
presence aroused panic in those who
traversed his realm. Pan idled in the
rugged countryside of Arcadia, playing his
panpipes and chasing Nymphs. One of
these, Pitys, fled his advances and was
transformed into a mountain-pine, the
god's sacred tree. Another, Syrinx,
escaped but was turned into a clump of
reeds from which Pan crafted his pipes.
And a third, Echo, was cursed to fade
away for spurning the god, leaving behind
just a voice to repeat his mountain cries.
Pan was depicted as a man with the
horns, legs and tail of a goat, a thick
beard, snub nose and pointed ears. He
often appears in scenes of the company
of Dionysus.
In the classical age the Greeks
associated his name with the word pan
meaning "all". However its true origin lay
in an old Arcadian word for rustic. Pan
was closely identified with several other
rustic deities including Aristaios
(Aristaeus), the shepherd-god of northern
Greece who shared the god's titles of
Agreus (Hunter) and Nomios (Shepherd),
the pipe-playing Phrygian satyr Marsyas
who challenged Apollon to a musical
contest, and Aigipan (Aegipan), the goat-
fish god of the constellation Capricorn.
Sometimes Pan was multiplied into a host
of Panes, or a triad of gods named
Agreus, Nomios, and Phorbas.

Running Persephone:
Persephone has long since accepted her
fate as the wife of Pluto, she hates him for
what was done and Zeus for allowing it.
She thwarts their plans as often as
possible
HISTORY:
The god Hades fell in love with her and
obtained permission from Zeus to take
her as a bride without telling Demeter. In
fact, Zeus is reputed to have suggested
abduction to keep Demeter from knowing
the truth. Abducted while in the presence
of her friends the Sirens, Persephone was
taken against her will to Tartarus where
she pined for her mother and refused to
eat. Demeter mourned for her daughter
for ten days before Hecate, looking to
make trouble for Hades, told her the truth.
Unfortunately, while in the underworld,
Persephone fasted by eating three
pomegranate seeds. As Zeus arbitrated
the case, Persephone was required to
spend parts of the year on Olympus and
Hades. Demeter also punished the Sirens
by transforming them into birds and
binding them to Anthemoessa as
punishment for not reporting the
abduction.
In later years, Persephone played an
active role in dissuading Hades' whims
against mortals as in allowing Queen
Alcestis of Pherae to return to her
husband. Aphrodite also gave her a coffin
with the spirit of Adonis in it to hide for
her, but she peeked inside and fell in love
with the youth. Zeus arbitrated their
feelings over him and forced them to
share him separately. Years later,
Peirithous, the king of the Lapiths, and his
good friend, Theseus, King of Athens,
both made pacts to marry daughters of
Zeus. Theseus abducted the teenaged
Helen (future spoil of the Trojan War) and
Peirithous resolved to abduct
Persephone. Admiring the guts of the two,
Hades invited the two to sit down from
their journey into the underworld and they
became captured in chairs. Hercules
rescued Theseus on his last labor, but
Peirithous was forced to stay.

HISTORY:
Alexander Aaron was the son of Ares, the
Olympian god of war, and a mortal
woman. Ares attempted to raise him in a
mortal life in a mortal world. However,
Amatsu-Mikaboshi kidnapped Alex and
trained him to be an expert swordsman
for an assault on Olympus. Zeus and
Ares both managed to eliminate the
brainwashing, which in turn wiped away
his skills.
As a member of Nick Fury's Secret
Warriors he was given the code name
Phobos and was trained alongside Jerry
Sledge (Stonewall), J.T. James (Hellfire),
Yo Yo Rodriguez (Slingshot), and
Sebastian Druid (The Druid). One of their
first missions was to take out the
Dard'van, a religious sect of Skrulls
leading an invasion of Earth. Alex and the
team had a final showdown with the
Skrulls in Central Park. The heroes won
and the Skrulls were banished from Earth.
After the battle Alex and the team
struggled to deal with the fallout of the
invasion. Fury's Secret Warriors were
sent to an old S.H.I.E.L.D. base in Texas
to observe activity there. They discovered
Hydra operatives there. In defiance of
their orders to observe only, Slingshot,
The Druid, and Stonewall engaged the
terrorists. After joining the team, Phobos
bonded with the others over dinner and
told them their futures. Among the
predictions he made were Slingshot
losing her arms, and the death of Hellfire.
Despite telling Hellfire that he was going
to die, they became friends. When the

Running Pluto:
Pluto is a stern, brooding god. He actually
enjoys his duties as lord of the dead. He
resents the Olympians' fall from power
and blames Zeus for it. Pluto sees himself
as the rebellious savior of the Olympians
and the destroyer of later gods' religions
and realms. He holds special grudges
against Hercules for daring to chain
Cerberus and Thor for often opposing his
schemes.
HISTORY:
Hades was a member of the race of the
extra-dimensional Olympians, and thus
possessed super strength, speed,
endurance, and resistance to injury. He
maintained virtual omnipotence in his
realm of Hades. Hades was the eldest
son of Cronus, ruler of the superhuman
extra-dimensional race of Titans, and his
wife, the Titaness Rhea. When Zeus
usurped Cronus, Pluto aided in the war by
stealing Cronus' principal weapons from
his palace while wearing a helmet of
invisibility. Zeus became ruler of the
pocket dimension called Olympus and of
the race of Olympian gods, and confined
the defeated Titan warriors to Tartarus,
the darkest section of Hades, the
Olympian underworld. He knew that they
needed a stern warder and that the
brooding Pluto was the only one of his
siblings who found life in the underworld
suitable to his temperament. Therefore,
Zeus assigned ruler-ship of the entire
underworld to his elder brother. Pluto was
quite pleased with this new role and rarely
left the underworld over the following
centuries. The most infamous exception
was when Pluto carried off Kore, the
goddess of spring, to the underworld, to
force her to become his wife. Kore's
mother, the fertility goddess Demeter,
was outraged, and refused to allow crops
to grow in ancient Greece until Kore was
returned. Eventually, a compromise was
reached, and Kore spent only a portion of
the year in Hades with her husband. As
queen of Hades, Kore was known as
Persephone. Since the time of his
appointment as ruler of Hades, Pluto
populated his realm with the "shades" of
mortals who had worshiped the Olympian
gods. When the worship of Olympian
gods died out, giving way to Christianity,
Zeus forbade Pluto from collecting any
more "souls." Pluto obeyed the edict
resentfully, having become accustomed
to an ever-growing number of subjects in
his realm. The bitter Pluto finally
convinced himself that Zeus had proved
himself to be an incompetent leader by
allowing the worship of the Olympians to
come to an end. Zeus, noting Pluto's
increasingly ominous rebelliousness,
warned him against attempting to
overthrow him and sentenced him to
remain monarch of Hades until Pluto
could find a willing replacement.

In recent years, during one of Hercules'

sojourns on Earth, Pluto appeared on
Earth in the guise of Hayden P. Hellman
(nicknamed "Mr. Pluto"), a movie
producer at California Stardust Studios.
Thus disguised, Pluto had the naive
Hercules sign a contract that Hercules
believed was for appearing in a project
film. But in fact, it was an Olympian
contract binding Hercules to become
Pluto's successor as ruler of Hades.
Having signed the contract, Hercules was
unable to battle Pluto on his own behalf,
but the Asgardian god Thor fought
against Pluto's forces to free Hercules.
Shocked by the massive destruction
wrought in Hades by Thor, Pluto realized
that he loved his kingdom and could not
bear to forsake it. Pluto therefore

51
released Hercules from the contract. But
Pluto still wished to add new conquests to
his kingdom. He traveled to an alternate
future of Earth in which nuclear radiation
had transformed many human beings into
inhuman-looking mutates. Pluto brought
an army of mutates back to his own time
to conquer Earth for him. Pluto and his
mutates were opposed by Thor, his fellow
Asgardians Balder and Sif, and the United
States armed forces. Finally, Zeus himself
intervened, banishing both Pluto and his
mutates to Hades. Later, Odin, monarch
of the Asgardians, physically died. But
time had been magically suspended
about him so that his spirit would not yet
leave his body. Pluto attempted to claim
Odin's soul but was opposed by Odin's
son Thor and by the Asgardian death
goddess Hela. Rather than allow Pluto to
deprive her of Odin's soul, Hela restored
Odin to life. Odin interrupted the battle
between Thor and Pluto, and Pluto
returned to Hades. Still later, Pluto and
his nephew Ares conspired to provoke a
battle between Thor and Hercules. But
Thor and Hercules learned of the
deception, and Thor managed to defeat
Pluto on Earth. Hildegarde met with to
Odin to find Krista, and sees her in Pluto's
underworld as a slave and standing over
her are Pluto and Hercules. Thor and
Hercules are having an arm wrestling
match to determine who will face Pluto,
when Zeus interrupts and tells them to
fight together. They travel together to the
gates of Hades and are attacked by
Pluto's minions. They defeat the minions,
then go to visit Chaga, to learn who it is
that's against them. She tells them that
it's Pluto and Ares. They fly to the gates
of Hell and there meet Ares, whose power
has been increased by Pluto. They
manage to defeat him and then they enter
Hell. Thor and Hercules enter Hades and
are attacked by demon-bats, and snake
women. They fight their way past, only to
find that Pluto has fled with Krista. They
go to Asgard, where Odin reveals that
Pluto has gone to Manhattan. Thor and
Hercules follow him there. Thor defeats
Pluto and drives him away. He then
discovers that Krista is dying, and only
Don Blake can save her.
Sometime later, Pluto made alliances with
death gods of other dimensions, and then
demanded that Zeus command Hercules
and the goddess Venus to marry Pluto's
allies Ares and Hippolyta. Zeus, fearing
that Pluto would otherwise lead the other
death gods in an attack on Olympus, at
first agreed. In fact, Pluto still intended to
conquer Olympus; Pluto believed that
Hercules and Venus were the only two
Olympians who could prevent his taking
over Olympus, but, according to Zeus'
law, once they were married to Ares and
Hippolyta, Hercules and Venus would be
unable to oppose them in combat. But
finally, Zeus called Pluto's bluff, withdrew
commands for the marriages, and sent
Pluto back to Hades. This plot led to the
formation of the Champions of Los
Angeles. Pluto met with the death-gods of
other pantheons on yet another occasion,
when the primordial Demogorge
threatened all gods. Jane Foster was
taken captive of Pluto. Pluto then
revealed his allies Loki and Ulik. Thor and
Ulik battled, until Ulik discovers that he
was but the pawn of Pluto and Loki.
Enraged, Ulik attacked them. After saving
Pluto from Ulik, and sending Ulik back to
Asgard, Pluto released Thor and Jane
back to Earth, with Jane's memory erased
of her ordeal and what happened earlier.
The Stranger transported Fantastic Four
and the Hulk to Hades where Pluto had
devised a device that fired hellish energy
into the heart of a black hole in the hopes
of destroying the universe so that Pluto
might rule over a universe of eternal
darkness. When the Hulk attempted to
attack straight on, both the Thing and
Stranger tried to get the simple minded
monster to exercise restraint and form a
strategy, which leads to the Thing and the
Hulk coming to blows, and forcing the
Stranger to attack Pluto head on. During
the fight Pluto manages to over power the
Stranger, and unleashes a horde of
demons on the Thing and the Hulk. Pluto
then threatens to throw the Stranger's
body into the device however the Hulk
becomes furious and uses his strength to
destroy the device itself, leaving the Thing
to save the Stranger while Pluto falls into
the device of his own making. Pluto's
52
spirit is fired up into the black hole where
it is seemingly destroyed, ending his
threat.
Pluto met with Hell-Lords in Hades. They
have decided to merge their respective
realms, thus increasing their power, and

performed a ritual creating the nexus of
the netherworlds. Unfortunately, this also
summoned the Demogorge, who begins
consuming the Hell-Lords one by one. But
Odin and Thor arrived to defeat the
Demogorge releasing all its captives.
Namor is captured by Neptune and
brought to Hades. He escapes from the
clutches of Cerberus and with the help of
a mysterious stranger is led to the
Fortress Tartarus where he frees the
captive Avengers. They then free Thor
from Pluto's mercy and attempt to leave
Hades on the Pathway of Infinity. Pluto
destroys the bridge and the Avengers
prepare to make their stand. The
Avengers battle through Pluto and his
hordes on the Pathway of Infinity to reach
Olympus. They take a moment to regroup
and are joined by the mysterious stranger
and decide to seek out the other gods.
After a brief battle, they convince Athena,
Hephaestus, and Venus to help them talk
to Zeus. Meanwhile, Artemis has
captured the Wasp and has brought her
to Zeus. The Avengers and their allies
approach Zeus who isn't in a mood to
listen. When the Asgardians disappeared
after Ragnarök, Zeus feared for the
continued existence of the Olympians as
well and decided that they hide among
humanity. Hades became a clichéd Mafia
crime lord, even joking that he was still a
lord of the underworld! Hercules went to
Pluto for permission to enter the
Underworld. Hercules, Jimmy, Robert,
and Gordon all then head to the
Underworld where Charon ferries them
across. To get round Zeus' decree, Hades
attempted to conquer Earth with the help
of Lorelei. Hades transformed Lorelei into
a copy of the Valkyrie and drained her of
her power and memories. He then used
the absorbed power to take control of the
real Valkyrie to turn Earth into a realm of
the dead itself. The Valkyrie's presence
masked his own influence and Zeus'
decree still allowed Hades to annex other
realms of the dead. Hades is eventually
stopped by the Defenders who brought
Lorelei along, thinking her to be their
teammate. The clash of the two Valkyrie's
releases Lorelei from the spell and
together they turned on Pluto and ended
his plan.
Hades and Hera created the Olympus
Group, which became the modern seat of
power for the Olympians. They inherited
Zeus' shares and bought out Poseidon.
The organization planned the deaths of
both Hercules and Athena. Hercules and
Amadeus Cho to the Underworld, via the
entrance at an Atlantic City casino.
People have to bet their way into the
afterlife. Pluto's had the spirits attack
Hercules, but he easily defeated them.
Hades held a trial for Zeus, ostensibly in
the name of all his victims in Hades, with
501 jurors in a mock Athenian trial. He
tried to get Hercules out by offering him
the soul of his adoptive father, who told
him to to rescue the king of the gods.
Hades planned to take over the earth and
Olympus. Zeus was found guilty, and was
told to drink from the Lethe River, which
would erase his memory, which would
cause him to be reborn as a child. This
punishment does not please the spirits
and they turned on Hades. Pluto and the
Hell-Lords battled Gloriana (Meggan
Puceanu). Hades was present at
Hercules' funeral, in the company of
Athena, Poseidon, Apollo, and Hebe.
Hades was recently usurped by the
Chaos King Mikaboshi despite his best
efforts to resist, and was placed under his
thrall alongside Hela and the other death
gods until Hercules manages to indirectly
banish him to the Continuum bubble

Running Poseidon:
Neptune is the sole Olympian god with a
flourishing body of worshippers. He acts
as patron god of the Atlanteans and of
fishermen who, at the least, offer him
acknowledgement. Like his brother Pluto,
Neptune has staked out a major realm
where he prefers to spend his time.
HISTORY:
Poseidon was the second born son of the
Titan deities Cronus and Rhea. Poseidon
sided with his brothers Zeus and Hades in
the war between the Olympians and the
Titans. He and his brothers freed their
elder siblings from a prison in the dark
Underworld. After defeating their father,
Zeus became King of Olympus and all of
the gods of its pantheon, Hades was
made King of the Underworld, and
Poseidon was made King of the Seas.
Poseidon is the patron god of the Atlantis
and Atlanteans believe Poseidon to be
responsible for the evolution of their
water-breathing race, Homo mermanus
10,000 years after the Great Cataclysm.
Over 2,000 years ago Atlanteans started
worshipping Set. Enraged, Poseidon
destroyed Set's cult and prevented him
from manifesting on Earth. Poseidon later
lived among the Atlanteans for a time as
their protector, and left a copy of his
trident with their ruler upon his departure.
At some point, he was asked along with
Apollo by Laomedon, king of Troy, to
build impenetrable walls around his city,
but refused to pay for their services,
enraging them. Millenia before our time,
Neptune opposed and defeated the
supernatural being called Wild One,
imprisoning him under a submarine
structure in the middle of the Pacific Omphalos. He was rescued from
Ocean. Both Neptune and the Wild One Artume's clutches by Hercules, Namor,
remember their confrontation and their and Namora.
hatred for each other. Albeit Neptune was
confident that the Wild One would never
be unleashed again, he nonetheless kept
an eye on him. In 1264 B.C., the Monster
of Poseidon captured Laomedon's
daughter, who asked Hercules to save
her daughter from it, promising him his
herd of magical horses which could run
on water in return. After many centuries,
mortal worship of the Olympians faded,
Zeus and the other Olympians gradually
withdrew from Earth except for Poseidon,
who was still honored by the Atlanteans
and actively watched over Atlantis and its
people, unlike many Olympians who have
few or no worshippers on Earth.
Poseidon made a few brief appearances
in the 20th Century, once during World
War II. He also surfaced in the early 50s
where he assisted the love goddess
Venus quell the Fish-Men in the Pacific.
He convinced the Fish-Men to return to
the ocean and stop their attack on a
cruise ship. In modern times, Poseidon
sent Namor on a quest to reclaim his
Trident in order to regain the Atlantean
throne. Afterward Poseidon appeared to
the Atlanteans, and decreed Namor the
true ruler of Atlantis. Poseidon advised
Namor of the true destiny of Atlantis and
its people. Later, Neptune healed a
wounded Namor, and transformed a
drowning stallion into a giant seahorse.
Neptune later abducted Namor from
Atlantis to Hades at the behest of Zeus,
as Zeus blamed the Avengers for
Hercules's bad physical condition.
However, Neptune was then forbidden to
return to Earth by Zeus, despite his
objections due to Atlantean worship. Most
recently, he, along with the other
Olympians have dwelt on Earth once
more, following the death of Zeus. In a
weakened state, he was abducted by
Hippolyta and her Amazon warriors, at
the behest of Hera and Pluto, who forced
him to cede his shares of the Olympus
Group to them, facilitating their takeover.
The Amazon princess Artume likewise
forced from him the location of the

(her father)
Running Rhode:
Rhode was looking to avenge her father's
'death'. She became vindictive and
hateful, striking out at Venus, only to
discover that she was wrong.
HISTORY:
Rhode was the daughter of Olympian god
Neptune. When Zeus withdrew all the
Olympians from Earth, it is presumable
that Rhode returned to Olympus with her
fellow gods. In the 1950s, Rhode came to
believe that her father was killed during
the nuclear bomb tests conducted by the
United States on Bikini and Eniwetok, and
she began crafting a plan to avenger her
father's death. To this end, she took to
calling herself Neptunia and developed
the mortal guise of Diana Seacrest. She
founded Seacrest Real Estate
Corporation and by 1951, she was selling
affordable seaside homes along the
Atlantic coast, particularly to retired
soldiers. When her development was sold
out, she summoned a massive tidal wave
to wipe it out, killing everyone living there.
The freak occurrence prompted the
Federal Housing Association to
investigate the disaster and although they
found no wrong doing, they called
Seacrest to their offices in Washington
D.C. There Seacrest was informed that
the FHA did not want her to continue
building houses along the coast for the
sake of public safety and that they were
pulling all of her government grants.
Furious Seacrest refused to stop
developing the area, the move gained a
lot of press attention. The headlines
grabbed the attention of Beauty Magazine
owner Whitney Hammond assigned
Venus to investigate.
To this end, Venus purchased a home in
one of Seacrest's newest developments.
Shortly thereafter, Neptunia called upon
another storm to wipe out the
development that Venus bought into.
Seeing Neptunia in the waves, Venus
thought she was a drowning woman and
came to her rescue just moments before
a massive tidal wave wiped out the
development. Realizing that the woman in
the water was Seacrest, Venus tried to
capture her, but Neptunia vanished in the
waves. Unaware of her godly heritage,
Venus assumed that she had drowned.
The next morning she was shocked to
find Seacrest alive and well at her SILENUS
companies head office. When Venus
questioned her about her involvement in God of Wine-Making and Drunkenness

Titan Prometheus. Prometheus, however,
had developed great affection for the
ancient Greeks who worshiped the
Olympians which eventually led him to
steal the fire of the gods and give a
portion of it to mortal man. Vesta was
aware of Prometheus' actions but turned
a blind eye to them. Prometheus ended
up being punished by Zeus for his
conduct for several millennia before
eventually being rescued by the demigod
son of Zeus, Hercules. At one point,
Vesta was desired by both Apollo and
Neptune. In response to this she swore a
vow of chastity to Zeus which he honored
even today.
Vesta once was a member of the ruling
council of Olympian gods which was
comprised of Zeus, Hera, Neptune,
Demeter, and Vesta, together with Zeus's
children Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena,
Hephaestus, Hermes, and Venus. She
later resigned her seat at the high table in
favor of Zeus' son, her nephew Dionysus,
who then became one of the twelve great
Olympian gods. It was said she did so
because she grew tired of the gods' petty
bickering during council meetings. Her
worship under the name of Vesta carried
over to the ancient Romans after the
survivors of the fallen city of Troy traveled
to the lands of Italy. Under the name of
Vesta, she had numerous priestesses
called the Vestal Virgins who paid her
homage and tribute to her ancient vow of
chastity. Vesta was present when the
Asgardian Thor came to Olympus, asking
Zeus' help in reviving the Asgardians slain
in battle with the Celestials. Vesta was
possibly present with the Olympian
pantheon as they convened a board
meeting on Earth at the Olympus Group,
assuming the appearances of mortal
businessmen in an attempt to maintain
some connection with humanity. Zeus
had gathered them to confront Hera for
manipulating Hercules into appearing on
a reality television show as part of an
attempt to gain revenge upon him, but he
wound up being jeered at by his own
family for his many infidelities. They finally
voted against interfering with Hercules'
labors.

What can you say? Zeus embodies all the
attributes of rulership: arrogance, wisdom,
authority, dignity, and so forth. Zeus is not
quick to anger, but his wrath is the most
terrible of all Olympians once it is called
forth.
HISTORY:
Zeus is the youngest son of Cronus and
Rhea beings known as Titans who once
ruled Olympus. The Titans were the
offspring of the sky god Ouranos and the
primeval earth goddess Gaea. Cronus
overthrew his father's rule by fatally
wounding him. The dying Ouranus
prophesied that Cronus would likewise be
overthrown by one of his own children. As
a result, upon the birth of each of his own
children, Cronus had the infant
imprisoned in Tartarus, the most dismal
section of the extra dimensional
underworld known as Hades. The
offspring he sent there were Hades,
Poseidon, Hera, Demeter, and Hestia.
Appalled at the mistreatment of their
children, Cronus's wife Rhea concealed
her sixth pregnancy from him and secretly
gave birth to Zeus on Mount Lycaeum in
Arcadia, an area of the land now known
as Greece. Rhea gave the infant Zeus to
the safekeeping of Gaea who hid him on
the island of Crete. Zeus grew to
adulthood among the shepherds of Mount
Ida, Crete, and then set about taking
revenge on Cronus. Zeus went down into
Tartarus and freed his siblings, who had
all now grown to adulthood, Zeus also
freed the three one-eyed giants called
Cyclopes and the three hundred-handed
giants called Hekatonchieres, all six of
whom Cronus had imprisoned there for
fear they would help overthrow him. The
grateful Cyclopes taught Zeus how to
wield his energy-manipulating powers in
battle. Zeus and his allies fought a ten
year war with the Titans which ended with
Zeus's victory. He imprisoned most of the
male Titans in Tartarus and established
himself in the small "pocket" dimension of
Olympus as supreme ruler of the
Olympian race.
Zeus married the goddess Hera and
along with Poseidon, Demeter and
Hestia, together with Zeus's children
Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena,
Hephaestus, Hermes, and Venus,
comprised the membership of the high
council of the Olympian gods known as
the Pantheon. Hestia later resigned her
seat in the council in favor of Zeus's son
Dionysus. Zeus's brother Hades was not
a member of the Pantheon, preferring to
spend virtually all of his time within
Hades, which he ruled.
In ancient times Zeus and his fellow
Olympians successfully defeated
challenges to their rule by the giants Otis
and Ephialtes, by a small army of
superhuman giants, and, most
dangerously, by the monster Typhoeus,
father of Typhon, the Titan who has
menaced the Olympians in recent times.
50,000 B.C., the inhabitants of Atlantis
seemingly worshiped Jupiter, yet it is
unclear if it was Zeus or another entity. It
seems unclear if the Olympian gods
themselves existed during the Hyborian
Age. For some reasons, Alexander of
Macedon and his armies were briefly sent
to the Hyborian Age, 10,000 years before
their era,[9] and the descendants of those
who stayed there invoked "Zoos", a god
unknown to Conan. After the end of the
Hyborian Age, the Olympian gods sought
worshipers on Earth. Neptune became
the patron god of the water-breathing
Atlanteans, worshiped as early 5800
BCE. Zeus sought that the Olympian
gods be worshiped by the people of the
land known as Greece.
Zeus engaged in many love affairs with
goddesses and with mortal Earth women
both before and during the Heroic Age of
ancient Greece. Some of his children
were gods; others were mortal human
beings such as Helen of Troy. Zeus's son
by the mortal woman Alcmena, Hercules,
was born a mortal, but Zeus transformed
him into an immortal god later. Zeus also
learned that Greece's Mount Olympus,
the location of the main inter-dimensional
nexus between the Olympian dimension
and Earth, lay near Olympia, the principal
city of the Eternals. Zeus and his
daughter Athena, goddess of wisdom,
64
held a meeting with Zuras, the leader of
the Eternals, and his daughter Thena.
Noticing the strong physical resemblance
between Zeus and Zuras and between
Azura and herself, Athena suggested that
the Olympian gods and the Eternals form
an alliance whereby the Eternals would
act as the gods' representatives on Earth.
The other three enthusiastically agreed,
and Azura took her current name of
Thena to signify the signing of the pact.
Worship of the Olympian gods spread
from Greece to Rome and throughout the
Roman Empire. The gods intervened
frequently in human matters at first, as in
the Trojan War, but did so less as time
passed. When Christianity finally replaced
the worship of the Olympian gods in the
Roman Empire, Zeus decided that the
time had come for the Olympians to break
most of their ties with Earth. Neptune,
however, was still allowed to watch over
his Atlantean worshipers. Since the
worship of the Olympian gods had died
out, Zeus forbade his brother Pluto, ruler
of Hades, the Olympian underworld, from
collecting any more of the souls of the
dead from Earth. Pluto obeyed the edict
resentfully. Finally, the bitter Pluto
convinced himself that Zeus had proven
himself to be an incompetent leader by
allowing the worship of the Olympians to
come to an end. Zeus, noting Pluto's
increasingly ominous rebelliousness,
warned him against attempting to
overthrow him. Nonetheless, Pluto has
attempted unsuccessfully to overthrow
Zeus, as has Zeus's own son, the war
god Ares. However, despite the end of
the worship of the Olympian gods, Zeus
has retained affection for and interest in
the people of Earth.
A millennium ago Zeus' son Hercules led
a band of warriors he had transported
through time from ancient Greece to
battle Norsemen who were under the
protection of the Asgardian god Thor.
This conflict led to war between the
Asgardians and Olympians. Zeus secretly
met with Odin, ruler of the Asgardians,
and the two gods not only put an end to
the war, but also formed an alliance to
defend Earth from danger posed by the
alien Celestials. Odin and Zeus met with
the heads of the other races of gods who
were or had been worshiped by Earth
mortals to discuss the Celestials' possible
threat to Earth, and then Odin, Zeus, and
the Hindu god Vishnu went to confront the
Third Host of the Celestials on behalf of
all of Earth's gods. However, Odin and
Zeus were forced to pledge not to
interfere with the Celestials when the
Celestials threatened to seal off the
interdimensional passageways
connecting the gods' dimensions with
Earth. As a result of this pledge, the
Olympian gods had to lessen their contact
with Earth, although Zeus's offspring
Hercules and Venus spent periods living
among Earth human beings in recent
years. The Celestials' Fourth Host
recently decided to spare Earth from
destruction and left the planet.

For reasons unknown, Zeus had gone on

an extended leave of absence, leaving
Olympus under the command of
Aphrodite during a period in which the
Olympians began adopting their Roman
names. Eventually Aphrodite, as Venus,
relocated Olympus to the planet named
after her. She soon grew bored and
returned to Earth to find real love. In
1949, Zeus learned of this and was
furious. He appeared before Venus and
demanded that she return to Olympus at
once, but she refused stating that she had
work on Earth to do by helping lovers stay
together. Jupiter then offered her a
challenge that she could not find the
perfect couple and keep them together in
a week. Venus did find this couple in Meg
Saunders and Danny Fine. In an effort to
make Venus lose, Jupiter sent Apollo and
Daphne to Earth in mortal guises to try
and break the couple up. However, Venus
saw through the attempt and foiled it
winning her right to stay on Earth. Jupiter
was more benevolent to Venus' mission
thereafter, but regularly tested her right to
remain on Earth. Having previously
banished the Asgardian god Loki to
Hades, Jupiter was forced to let him loose
due to a loop hole in his banishment by
allowing Venus to remain on Earth. Loki

65
then set about spreading hate across the
Earth until Venus promised to be his
queen in Hades. Jupiter then told Venus
that she passed her test and banished
Loki once more. Next when Jupiter's
daughter Joya accused Venus of
forsaking her godhood for the love of
mortal Whitney Hammond, Jupiter wearily
agreed to have a trial to prove Joya's
accusations. Both Venus and Whitney
Hammond were brought to Olympus to
stand trial. However the trial abruptly
ended when Loki invaded Olympus. Joya,
seeing the errors of her was disguised
herself as Venus and offered herself as a
bride to Loki to stop the invasion. Soon
after, Hammond proved his devoted love
to Venus and Jupiter returned the couple
to Earth.
In 1950, Jupiter became more of a help to
Venus, often coming to her aid whenever
she summoned him. When Venus was
attempting to reunite long lost lovers
Rona Sanders and George Huston, she
found herself in trouble due to the fact
that Huston had fallen in love with her and
refused to love Rona, who was dying of
an illness. Apparently, only George's love
for Rona could cure her. Venus called on
Jupiter for aid and he imbued Rona with a
portion of Venus' powers causing George
to love her and cure her of her illness at
the same time. Later, when Apollo
requested to return to Earth to once more
try and win Venus' love, Jupiter denied
the request. In order to get around this,
Apollo made a deal with the demon
Zoroba to possess his body while Apollo's
spirit was sent to Earth. Zoroba took the
opportunity to bring Loki to Olympus and
posing as Apollo attempted to convince
Jupiter to allow Loki to leave his exile in
Hades and reside on Olympus. However,
Venus eventually exposed the plot and
forced Apollo to return to his body, and
Jupiter once more banished Loki back to
Hades. Shortly thereafter, Venus and
rocket scientist Rodney Dover found
themselves stranded on the moon and
imperiled by a volcanic eruption. Jupiter
was summoned once more and he
stopped the flow of lava then dispatched
Mercury to return Venus and Rodney to
Earth. Earth was once more in peril when
scientist Michael Templar built a device
that threatened to hurtle the Earth into the
sun. Venus sought Jupiter's aid to stop
this, but it was beyond his power to stop
the Earth's path to destruction. Instead he
had Mercury take Venus to the man
responsible to try and get him to stop the
disaster. As Earth edged closer to
extinction, Jupiter appealed to Venus to
return to Olympus, warning her that even
an immortal goddess might not be able to
survive plunging into the sun. However,
Venus eventually convinced Michael to
build the device and saved the Earth. Not
long after Olympus was endangered by
creatures that were literally spawned from
the mind of mad scientist Buffanoff.
Jupiter recruited the aid of Apollo and the
Asgardian thunder god Thor to defend
Olympus from the creatures. When the
creatures proved to be too powerful to
stop, Venus saved Olympus by tricking
them into following her back into the
Professor's dying brain where the
creatures also perished.
In 1951 Jupiter could not aid Venus when
she was trapped in the nation of
Cassarobia due to the fact that Loki had
placed a spell over the region that
prevented the Gods from using their
powers there. However, Jupiter appealed
to Loki's love for Venus when she was
captured by Cassarobia's sultan and
convinced him to remove the spell, saving
Venus from joining sultan's harem. Jupiter
next aided Venus by freeing her from the
hypnotic control of Romany hypnotist
Roberto. Later he allowed Venus to seek
the aid of Mars and Thor to stop insane
inventor John Dark and his mechanized
66
army, and Thor again when the Earth was
terrorized by the Creeping Death. Venus
also sought council from Jupiter prior to
undertaking a mission to the planet Mars.
Jupiter helped Venus, when she was
almost strangled to death by the Raoul
Hamud, by teleporting her to Olympus in
order to save her life. Later when Venus
captured Adonis after he ran amok on
Earth, she turned him over to Jupiter for
punishment. Soon after, Zeus ceased
offering his assistance to Venus for
reasons unexplained. He eventually
resumed using his traditional Grecian
name after this period.
Zeus remained the ruler of the Olympians
and of Olympus itself, as well as an ally of
the Asgardians. Recently, Zeus led the
Olympian gods in battle against the forces
of Mikaboshi. With the aid of the
remaining gods of the Japanese
pantheon, who had been attacked and
decimated by Mikaboshi's forces, the
Olympians were victorious. Zeus
sustained severe injuries at the hands of
Mikaboshi and died. His brother Pluto
took him prisoner and put him on trial, to
be judged by all of his enemies and other
villains. Despite Hercules' defense, and
Zeus' words on his own behalf, the jury
decided against Zeus, and he was forced
to drink the waters from the River Lethe,
which erased his memory and regressed
his body to that of a child's. He escaped
with Hercules and recently returned to his
previous form of an adult after the Chaos
War and ruled the Olympians from the
new Mount Olympus. When Hulk tried to
force Zeus to help his family, Zeus
mocked his heroism and gave the green
goliath a humiliating defeat in battle, but
allowed his son Hercules to rescue Hulk,
believing that no torment that he gave to
him could be worse than he simply being
the Hulk.

Running Achilles:
Achilles is a fierce warrior and a brilliant
military strategist. When given a goal and
set of tasks to accomplish, Achilles puts
his everything into the matter to get things
accomplished.
HISTORY:
Achilles was the seventh son of Peleus,
one of the greatest of Achaean warriors,
and of the sea goddess Thetis. He was
also the cousin of Patroclus, and his "first
soulmate". The priest Calchas foretold
that without him, Troy would never be
taken. Thetis dipped Achilles into the
sacred River Styx to render him
invulnerable, but held him by the ankle,
which wasn't dipped and remained
vulnerable. Another account state that his
powers came from an amulet amulet,
created by "those who called themselves
gods", who allegedly "made him who he
was", by elevating a mere mortal to divine
strength, power and vitality. Achilles wore
the amulet around his ankle. He inherited
the ashen spear of his father, who had
been polished by Athena and whose
spearhead had been forged by
Hephaestus, the wedding gift of Cheiron
the Centaur to his parents. He also
somehow acquired an armor and a sword
forged by Hephaestus. He had Old
Phoenix for mentor.
According to Aeneas, Achilles was among
the princes to fulfill their oath of loyalty to
Menelaus. As Achilles grew up, Thetis
foresaw that he would gain glory in the
Trojan War, but never return home alive.
To prevent that fate, she disguised him as
a girl and sent him to the court of
Lycomedes, King of Scyros. After Paris of
Troy fled with Helen, Menelaus gathered
the princes who had swore the oath.
Odysseus, Nestor and Ajax were sent to
fetch him at the court of Lycomedes. To
see through the disguise crafted by
Thetis, Odysseus brought many gifts to
the ladies of the court: Jewels, garments,
a sword, and a shield. He then had his
soldiers to blast their trumpets and clash
their arms and armor as if a battle started,
and Achilles instinctively wielded the
weapons and revealed himself. Despite
having made no vow to defend Menelaus'
honor and despite his mother's wishes,
Achilles accepted to join the war against
Troy, leading his Myrmidon soldiers.
Rallied, the Argives sailed for Aulis, then
to Troy. Crossing the Aegean Sea, they
reached Teuthrania in southern Mysia
and sacked it, believing it to be Illium. The
warrior-king Telephus killed Thersander
before Achilles wounded him using his
father's spear. Achilles' vessels then put
in at Scyros, where he married
Deïdameia, the daughter of Lycomedes.
During the wedding, Telephus came to
him, claiming Achilles was the only one
who could heal his wound, which he
managed to do by scraping rust from the
spear into the wound. In gratitude,
Telephus showed Achilles what course to
steer to reach Troy, but didn't joined
them. Achilles also impregnated
Deïdameia. The fleet returned a second
time at Aulis, and as Agamemnon
bragged about a stag he shot, claiming to
surpass Artemis, she sent stormy winds
prevent them from sailing, and Calchas
stated that only the sacrifice of
Agamemnon's daughter Iphigenia would
dispel the storm. Agamemnon tricked his
wife Clytemnestra into sending their
daughter to Aulis by stating she would
marry Achilles. When Clytemnestra and
Iphigenia arrived, Achilles protested and
the truth was revealed. As Iphigenia had
been called his wife, Achilles decided to
defend her, but she resolved to die with
honor to permit her father's army to sack
Troy. Achilles stated that he would have
wanted to have her for his wife. Once her
sacrifice was done, the fleet sailed. On
Tenedos, Achilles and Ajax were present
when archer Philoctetes was bitten by a
snake, and healed by Aesculapius. He
was left behind on the isle of Lemnos to
nurse his wound, due to its stench.
Following Menelaus' peaceful attempt to
take back Helen, the Achaeans shored in
range of fire of Troy. As it was foretold
that the first of them to set upon the shore
would perish, they waited, until Iolaus was
killed by Paris' brother Hector, who
renamed him "Protesilaus", "the first of his
people". As Cycnus, a son of Poseidon,
wished to kill the second Achaean to
brave the shore of Troy, he attacked but
was quickly killed by Achilles, causing the
Trojans to doubt and to retreat under
Hector's advice, and then the siege
began. Achilles wished to see Helen, to
know for himself whether she was worth a
war, and as he called his mother Thetis,
she came with Aphrodite. The two
goddesses brought Achilles into Troy to
see Helen, who recognized him
immediately though they had never met.
Achilles recognized that she was as
beautiful as said, and was carried back to
his ship. As Ajax, Odysseus and others
doubted, Achilles galvanized them,
recalling them of the gold, glory, cattle
and women to be enslaved and sold that
the war would bring to them.
Soon afterward, Achilles and his
Myrmidons drove off the cattle of Aeneas,
son of Aphrodite, on Mount Ida, causing
him and his Dardanians to become the
ally of Troy and the enemies of the
Achaeans. As Illium stood, he then
ravaged many neighboring cities:
Lyrnessus, Pedasus, and Chryse.
Chryseïs went to Agamemnon, and
Briseïs to Achilles, whom Patroclus was
tasked to treat well. Achilles started to
resent Agamemnon, who took the largest
share of the plunder while remaining safe.
Along with Diomedes and Odysseus,
Achilles was suspected of having slay the
clever rival Palamedes. For nine years,
the war kept on, with rare battles. Ares
stood by Achilles' side at some point
during the war. After nine years of war,
Chryseïs was surrendered by
Agamemnon, because her father caused
Apollo to rain death on the Achaeans, and
70
Agamemnon took Briseïs in her place.
That caused a quarrel between
Agamemnon and Achilles. According to
Aphrodite, Achilles was even close to
slaying Agamemnon, but was stopped by
Athena. Achilles retired with his troops to
his ships, refusing to fight any more, until
that wrong was redressed. During the
battle following Menelaus and Paris duel,
Achilles remained aside, making
Diomedes the mightiest of the Argives
fighting. During the following months,
Patroclus wore Achilles' armor and led the
Argive host. The Trojans consequently
gave him way, thinking him invulnerable,
until Hector slaughtered him, only to be
slain by Achilles himself. Achilles
surrendered Hector's corpse to King
Priam only at Zeus' command himself.
After Hector's death, the Trojans
remained within the walls of their city,
fearing Achilles, until twelve Amazon led
by Penthesileia entered the city to assist
them, announcing she would slay Achilles
and destroy the Argives. She attacked
them, but Ajax and Achilles were away
from the battle, mourning at Patroclus'
grave, held back from the battle tumult by
one god so many Argives would be killed
by Trojans and their allies. Eventually,
they heard of the battle and joined the
fight, immediately targeted by
Penthesileia, whom he defeated in single
combat, causing the wrath of her father
Ares who was forbidden by Zeus to
interfere (as any Olympians). As Achilles
gazed upon the body of Penthesileia,
feeling sorrowing love for her (same he
had for Patroclus' death), he was mocked
by Thersites, whom he killed with a single
backhand fist blow, causing rejoice
among the Achaeans save for Diomedes
who wished to avenge as Thersites was
of his blood. Achilles let the Trojans carry
off the body and armor of Penthesileia,
and himself sailed to Lesbos to sacrifice
and be purified for killing Thersites.
During this time, Aethiopian warrior-King
Memnon and his tribesmen came to help
Troy. Memnon killed Antilochus, son of
Nestor and bosom friend to Achilles, but
was killed by Achilles at his return, and so
the Aethiopians departed.
 After the funeral of Antilochus, Priam's
sons Paris and Deiphobus rallied the
Trojans and attacked, but Achilles forced
them back to the city's opened gates. As
Apollo forbid Achilles from entering the
city, the son of Peleus threatened him.
Guided by Apollo, Paris went back to
Achilles and shot him in his vulnerable
heel with a poisonous arrow, avenging his
brother. Achilles stood in the opening of
the Scaean Gates, surrounded by the
Trojans who didn't dare come close to
him, and though he was weakening, he
killed Orythaon, comrade of Hector, then
Hipponous and Alcathous, before finally
falling. Another account state that Paris
shot the chain of the amulet that allegedly
gave him his powers and that he wore at
the ankle. Without the amulet, Achilles
was (still allegedly) no mightier than any
other man, and fell. Before the Trojans
could take his body, Ajax came into the
gates to retrieve it, and Odysseus came
himself to protect Ajax's retreat, killing
many Trojans in the process. As Old
Phoenix and his comrades mourned him,
none wept more than the enslaved
Briseïs and Thetis. Thetis' father Nereus
and all the sea gods mourned as well.

After Achilles' death, Paris hoped in vain

that the Achaeans would stop the war and
leave. On Achilles' pyre (and after funeral
games had been held in his honor),
Thetis offered her son's armor to the man
who rescued his body. Ajax claimed the
price, but Odysseus as well, stating that
Ajax would have been killed save for him.
The armor finally went to Odysseus.
Achilles was sent to Hades. After being
told by Priam's son and seer Helenus that
Troy would not fall until "the Bow of
Heracles loses arrows against it",
Odysseus sent a ship back to Tenedos
(or more likely Lemnos) to fetch
Philoctetes, who was healed by
Aesculapius's son Machaon. Once back
at Troy, Philoctetes and Paris were drawn
at the same point of the battle by goddess
Strife, and Philoctetes killed Paris from
one, or three arrows.

As Telephus' son Eurypylus came with

reinforcements from Teuthrania, and as

71
an oracle had decreed that "only when
this scion of Achaea's most formidable
warrior fought beside [them] would the
war come to an end", Odysseus and
Diomedes went to Scyros to fetch
Neoptolemus, son of Achilles, who was
given by Odysseus his father's armor.
Neoptolemus was already as his father,
although his young age, due to Achilles
being the son of a goddess. As
Neoptolemus wished to meet his father
alive, Achilles' ghost came to visit him at
night, under Hades' consent for once
only, and asked him to not shame his
name in battle. Leading the Myrmidons,
Neoptolemus clashed with Eurypylus,
recalling him that his father had wounded
then healed his own before killing him.
After Troy fell, Agamemnon alleged that
Achilles had come in his dreams to
demand the sacrifice of Queen Hecuba's
daughter Polyxena. She was brought to
Achilles' tomb to be sacrificed. During
Agamemnon's return to Mycenae,
Achilles' ghost appeared to him, warning
him against his wife Clymnestra who still
hated him for the sacrifice of their
daughter Iphigenia (confirming the
prophecy of Priam's daughter Cassandra,
whom Agamemnon had taken and
intended to marry).
At some point ("an uncounted time ago")
and somehow, Achilles and Ajax found
themselves in Olympus. There, they
fought the assault of Hades who wished
to rule upon Olympus (or crush it?), along
with Hercules, Apollo, Poseidon, and
Ares. When the armies of Mikaboshi
attacked Olympus, Achilles fought, along
with many heroes and gods, including
Hercules, Odysseus (who died in the
fights), Apollo, Athena, Patroclus,
Theseus, Ajax, Jason, the Argonauts and
Perseus. Zeus sent Achilles to lead
Olympus' soldiers, while having the
Myrmidons kidnap Ares' son Alex Aaron
(and sent to the Myrmidons' stronghold,
the Halls of Achilles) to force him to join
the fight. Achilles was wounded in battle
against Mikaboshi, who managed to scar
him, and then came to Ares along with
two Myrmidons, to ask him to help them
defeat the armies of the East, convincing
him by stating that it would save his son.
Returning to Olympus using the Bolts of
Zeus, they ended up in a fallen city, with
the Myrmidons all dead, save for three.
Achilles had to convince Ares to fight off
the hordes of Mikaboshi, until they were
both teleported to Zeus' halls. As Ares
was raging and striking Zeus for his plots,
Achilles and Hercules tried to interfere but
were forbidden to do so by Zeus. Ares
once again accepted to help them,
devising a plan (and stating that Achilles
should have been in charge from the
beginning, and not Hercules). While
Achilles was exposing his knowledge of
the enemy to Ares and the other heroes
(including Patroclus), Mikaboshi's warriors
breached the room. After the attack was
repelled, the Olympians were introduced AENEAS

Running Aeneas:
Aeneas is a powerful and dedicated
warrior. He takes his job very serious and
would lay down his life for those he loves
and protects.
HISTORY:
Aeneas was the son of Aphrodite,
Goddess of Love and Beauty, and of
Anchises, King of Dardanus. He
accompanied Paris, son King Priam of
Troy, when the Trojan prince crossed the
Aegean Sea to take Helen from
Menelaus, king of Sparta. Menelaus soon
sought his brother Agamemnon, King of
Mycenae, who gathered all leaders of
Achaea, to sail to Troy and demand
Helen's return, causing the Trojan War.
The Achaeans reached the coast of Troy,
and soon attacked its neighbors. Despite
the Dardanians not being formally allies to
Troy, Achilles and his Myrmidon warriors
went on Mount Ida and chased Aeneas'
cattle, forcing him and his men to flee for
their lives. On that day, Aeneas declared
himself full fried to the Trojans, and a foe
to the Achaeans.
During the siege of Troy, while facing a
giant boar outside the city, he was saved
by Thor. Along with Thor, he later
assisted to the single combat between
Menelaus and Paris, and rejoiced to see
Paris defeated, meaning the war's end
was closing in. As Paris was about to be
slain, Aphrodite came invisible to save
him, seen only from Thor and Aeneas.
The war was soon reignited by Athena
who manipulated Pandarus of Lycia to
strike an arrow at Menelaus. Aeneas took
Pandarus with him on a chariot for him to
attack Menelaus at close range, but he
was slain by Diomedes. As Aeneas went
to help the fallen Pandarus, Diomedes
struck him with a massive rock and
attempted to slay Aeaneas, who was
timely protected by Aphrodite, then by
Thor. Thor evacuated Aeneas within the
walls of Troy, where he asked the Norse
God to heal him for him to return to battle.
Instead, Thor, presenting himself as
Aeneas, went to battlefield, repelling the
Argives until he was himself confronted to
Zeus. Meanwhile, Paris was eventually
killed by Philoctetes, and Aeneas assisted
to the wedding of Helen to Deiphobus,
brother to Paris. During the wedding
ceremony, he recognized Eurypylus, the
son of Telephus, king of Teuthrania, and
grandson of Heracles, who had come to
help Troy leading a vast army. Thor later
returned to bid farewell, telling him he felt
that they would meet again. AGAMEMNON

Running Agamemnon:
Once Agamemnon was set on his path he
did whatever it took to ensure success
during the Trojan War. He sacrificed his
73
daughter, loyalty and friends to win and it
only cost him his life in the end.
HISTORY:
Agamemnon was the son of King Atreus
of Mycenae and the grandson of King
Pelops of Pisa and King Catreus of Crete.
Inheriting the curse the gods levied on
Atreus for the murders of his cousins, he
and his brother Menelaus both lived in
exile from Mycenae for much of their early
years because of this curse up until he
asked King Tyndareus of Sparta for the
hand of his daughter Clytemnestra, the
sister of Helen of Troy, in marriage. The
desire was solely one to help him recover
the throne of Mycenae, his father’s
kingdom from King Tantalus, his nephew
who was married to her. Slaying both
Tantalus and his heir, he kept
Clytemnestra as his wife, and came to
rule Mycenae. He eventually saw a
chance to seize the wealth of Troy after
Paris abducted Helen from his brother.
Unable to sail for Troy because of a lack
of winds to carry his ships, he learned
from a prophecy that the goddess Artemis
would not allow him to sail for Troy unless
he sacrificed his own daughter Iphigeneia
to her. The wind shifted to Troy as a
result of the sacrifice and Agamemnon
sailed for Troy (his daughter was
reputedly restored to life by Artemis as
her priestess to the Taurians or was
secretly replaced by a deer by Artemis to
test his determination). Once in Troy,
Agamemnon seized a concubine named
Briseis that Achilles had taken for himself
in order to keep his mind in the war.
Achilles, meanwhile, refused to pick up a
sword for most of the war and only
entered it after the death of his best
friend, Patroclus. Angry over the
disappearance of her daughter,
Clytemnestra took a lover, Aegisthus,
who claimed the throne of Mycenae on
his behalf. When Agamemnon returned
from war, the two of them joined forces to
kill him out of revenge. Agamemnon’s
ghost in the underworld presented himself
to Odysseus in his visit there and told him
of the details of his murder.
Running Ajax, the Great:
Ajax was a powerful and much respected
warrior, who despite appearances was
not giant-kin, but the grandson of Zeus.
He was a friend and ally of Achilles.

Ajax retrieved and carried his body,

During Achilles' funeral, his mother the
Sea-Goddess Thetis offered his armor to

that without him, Ajax would had been

night was touched with madness by

into madness and finally kill himself. In
the morning, Odysseus honored his body
but refused to take the blame for his
death. As Tecmessa lamented,
Agamemnon swore that he alive, she and
her son would never be enslaved. At
some point and somehow, Achilles and
Ajax found themselves in Olympus.
There, they fought the assault of Hades
who wished to rule upon Olympus, along
with Hercules, Apollo, Poseidon, and
Ares.
When the armies of Mikaboshi attacked
Olympus, Ajax fought, along with many
heroes and gods, including Achilles,
Hercules, Odysseus, Apollo, Athena,
Patroclus, Theseus, Jason, the Argonauts
and Perseus. Under Ares' leadership and
along other heroes, he defended the city
from Mikaboshi's army.

Running Artume:
Artume is a psychopath. She is an
uncaring, unfeeling man hating woman
filled with rage and hate for mankind, her
mother, the gods and anyone but her.
HISTORY:
Artume was a creation of the Amazon
Queen sculpted from basic stone and
then brought to life via a reversal of the
legendary Gorgon's curse bringing her
inanimate form to life. Her mother hoped
she'd be a symbol with which the Amazon
culture could usher in a brand new age of
peace, truth and solemnity for their
nation, but this scenario proved less than
satisfactory to the amazonian upstart.
Who being raised in their fascist semi-
xenophobic culture of right-wing warrior
women found her natural apathetic
proclivities, due in part to having a heart
of stone; exponentially worsened when

Mount Olympus. Artume would begin
plotting behind her mother’s back during
sting operations headed by her Queen &
tribe against various godheads such as
Poseidon under orders of the goddess
Hera. eventually taking an Atlantean
surface albatross dubbed Triton Station
as their personal base of operations.
While Hippolyta was away answering
summons of their goddess at the
Olympus Corporation stationed in New
York City. She would come to the
captured fallen god inquiring about some
mystic relics harbored from Atlantis' lost
history, particularly a tablet belonging to
the Cult of Zhered-Na which lead to a
relic capable of Manipulating the Axis
Mundi held in place by the Titan Atlas.
After having secured their fortress she
would search for the supposed Eromenos
of Hercules eventually seeking both them
and another of his consorts by the name
of Namora on a secluded island. While
her forces dealt with the Atlantean and
Olympian a second strike team lead by
Artume herself would secure the teen
genius Amadeus Cho whom she then
seduced and tricked into deciphering the
tablet for the location of the Omphalos.
When her Demi-Goddess mother had
returned ordering her soldiers to stand
down, Artume appeared boasting of her
ascendance to the throne wherein she
shot her former queen dead and
decapitated her place the head on a
spear in a secluded station of their
headquarters. Upon the completion of the
desired task Artume then double crossed
Amadeus as well, having him locked up in
the brig as she and her warriors
eventually set out in an Atlantean crafted
cruiser, heading towards the last known
location of the Omphalos which was at
the bottom of the Atlantic Trench.
While on their journey Artume spied how
her personal shield maiden Delphyne
Gorgon had taken a liking to the now
captive super genius behind her back. As
the two made way to the last known
location of the artifact they desired her
ward managed to retrieve the said relic
while The Amazon Queen dealt with its
abominable defenses, only for Artume to
shoot Delphyne in the back with a
harpoon at the first opportunity for all of
her earlier infidelities against her and the
Amazon culture. Going so far as to inform
Cho of her former aid's demise at her
hands. Making their way to Washington,
DC; where the Axis Mundi and Atlas'
world center position had been placed
after President George Washington set
down the first cement block founding its
first national monument as the seat of
global central power. She and her forces
were met with opposition by Hercules,
Namora and Athena, whom helped
Hercules track their next likely position to
take the Navel urn.
After inciting a ritualistic dialect to relive
the titan of his burden and setting him
upon the prince of power as a distraction,
Artume continues to chant to the mystic
object in order to shift the axis of reality to
her own demented image. Even sticking
through it when her stolen transport was
brought down in the ensuing battle of
gods and mortals; until it is knocked out of
her hands by a bullet fired from her
excommunicated right hand woman by
aid of an escaped Amadeus. During the
hustle and bustle of reality shifts between
the various hands who possessed the
universe altering item in question, Artume
snuck in a cheap shot against its last
handler before completing the chanting
rite which enabled her to take the reins of
reality into her hands. This short lived
world where Amazonia reigned supreme
and steadily began to winnow the male
populous of the world to the point of
extinction was undone with the death of
its creator in it, resulting in the demise of
the former Amazon queen in the
mainstream. Who upon her demise
reverted back to stone and crumbled to
dust as the amazonian gorgon was
crowned new queen of the Amazons.
Artume was last seen within a court of the
Underworld headed by Zeus's brother
Pluto as his judge, with her and a host of
deceased villains and n'ere dowels from
earth present at the sentencing of the
deceased Lord of Olympus for his past
crimes and atrocities done in sacrifice to
his name.

HISTORY:
Atlanta's parentage is uncertain. Her

Clymene. She came into the world in the
"undesirable state" of being female. As a
result, her father had her carried into the
woods and left to die. However, a bear

maidenhood. For quite some time this
worked. Some say that she evened the
odds by wearing armor while she ran.
Others say that she gave the suitors a
head start of half the distance. In any
case the heads stacked up. Melanion fell
in love with her. He knew that he was not
fast enough to win the race. So he did
what many frustrated lovers had done; he
prayed to Aphrodite for help. Aphrodite
had a weakness for lovers and a concern
about those that rejected romance to the
degree that Atlanta did. Aphrodite
presented Melanion with three golden
apples and a plan. In return, Melanion
was to sacrifice to Aphrodite. Melanion
then ran his race with Atlanta carrying the
apples with him. When Atlanta caught up
to him he tossed the first apple at her
feet. The sight of the magic golden apple
was irresistible to Atlanta. She stopped to
pick it up confident that she could make
up the time. Soon enough she was once
again passing Melanion. He threw the
second apple, this time further to the side.
Again, she lost time retrieving the apple.
As she again caught up the finish line was
near and chasing the third thrown apple
cost her the race.
Despite her resistance, marriage seemed
to suit Atlanta. Melanion's happiness and
joy was so great he completely forgot his
obligations to sacrifice to Aphrodite. As
usual when messing up with the gods
payback was severe. Aphrodite waited
until Melanion and Atlanta were passing a
shrine to a god, possibly Zeus. She then
hit them with overwhelming desire.
Melanion took Atlanta into the shrine and
lay with her. At that point, the infuriated
god turned them both into lions. This was
regarded as poetic as it was believed
lions could mate only with leopards.
One mystery concerning Atlanta - despite
her vow, she had a son, Parthenopaeus.
The father is unknown. Melanion and
Meleager have been suggested, but were
with Atlanta briefly. Out of
embarrassment, she left him on a
mountain. He was found and became a
hero in his own right.
Contacts: As king of Elis, Augeas had

Running Hippolyta:
Hippolyta is a violent and volatile person
who is ruled by her emotional responses

HISTORY:
Hippolyta was the daughter of the Ares,
God of War, and Otrera, first queen of the
Amazons, a tribe of warrior women who
founded the city of Themiscyra on the
Thermodon River in Anatolia. After many
years of ruling the Amazons, Hippolyta
eventually met Hercules when he, Jason,
and the Argonauts landed near her city
stronghold of Themiscyra. There they
attempted to steal Hippolyta's enchanted
girdle and any slaves they could along the
way. Initially resenting Hercules for the
initial invasion, Hippolyta eventually fell in
love with him. Over the centuries, she
made various attempts to win his
affection, but ultimately he never gave her
his heart. Thus a love/hate relationship

He was the son of the king of Iolcus,
Aeson, but it is not certain who his mother
was; various names appear in different
sources as his mother. When Jason was
still a baby, his half-uncle Pelias, vying for
the throne of Aeson, killed all of Aeson's

greeted. They were told there were
supplies to be found beyond Bear
Mountain, where a mythical race of giants
called Gegeines lived. While the
Argonauts were looking for supplies, the
Gegeines attacked the ship; Heracles,
who participated in the expedition,
managed to kill many of them before the
rest of the Argonauts came and pushed
the giants back. At night, they set sail but
a mistake caused them to land back on
the island, where the Doliones, thinking
they were enemies, attacked them; in the
battle that followed, many Doliones were
killed. In the following day, the remorseful
Argonauts held funerals for the slain.
They then went to Thrace, where the
kingdom of King Phineus was being
plagued by the Harpies. These monsters
were sent by Zeus to steal food every
day. Jason helped the king and killed the
Harpies on their next attack. Phineus,
grateful for Jason's help, told the
Argonauts where Colchis lay and how to
pass through the Symplegades, the
Clashing Rocks. These were huge rock
cliffs that would move and crush anything
that passed between them. Phineus told
Jason to release a dove and see if it
would make it through, an omen for what
would happen to the ship. The dove
successfully passed, losing only a few tail
feathers; so, when the ship travelled
through the rocks, only minor damages
were caused at the stern of the ship.
Jason and the Argonauts eventually
reached Colchis, where they were
welcomed by King Aeetes. The Golden
Fleece was in the possession of the king,
gifted to him by Phrixus when he arrived
there on a flying golden ram. Aeetes said
he would give the fleece to Jason if he
successfully completed three tasks.
Jason despared by his quests. Hera,
favouring him, convinced Aphrodite and
Eros to make Medea, Aeetes' daughter,
to fall in love with Jason and help him in
the tasks. The first task was to plow a
field using Khalkotauroi, fire-breathing
oxen; Medea gave Jason an ointment that
protected him from the fire. The second
task was to sow dragon's teeth in the
field, causing an army of stone warriors to
appear. Jason was forewarned by Medea,
and following her advice, threw a rock into
the army. The soldiers, not knowing who
had thrown the rock, killed each other.
The third task was to take the Golden
Fleece from a sleepless dragon. A
sleeping potion, provided by Medea, was
enough for Jason to overcome the dragon
and take the Golden Fleece. After
retrieving the fleece, Jason and the
Argonauts left, and Medea joined them.
Aeetes tried to follow them, but Medea
killed her brother and threw his pieces
into the sea, causing Aeetes to stop and
retrieve them. Zeus, angry at Medea's act
of killing her brother, caused a number of
storms on their way back. To redeem
themselves, they stopped at the island of
Aeaea, where the nymph Circe lived to be
purified. They then went on. On their
voyage, they also met the Sirens that
caused ships to crash onto the reefs, as
their captivating voices mesmerised the
crews; Orpheus, however, played the lyre
and completely covered their voices, thus
managing to evade the ill fate. Near
Crete, they met Talos, a giant bronze
man, who guarded the island and threw
stones at anyone approaching. Medea
cast a spell on him and they managed to
remove the plug that kept Talos' ichor (the
divine blood) in his single vein. Thus, he
bled to death.
The Argonauts eventually managed to
return to their home. Jason found his
father Aeson at a very old age, and asked
Medea to transfer some of his life to his
father. Medea gave a few more years to
Aeson, without removing them from
Jason, but by infusing Aeson's blood with
magical herbs. Pelias' daughters asked
her to do the same for their father; Medea
tricked them into killing him instead. As a
result, Pelias' son exiled Jason and
Medea. The couple went to Corinth,
where Jason fell in love and was engaged
with Creusa. Medea, infuriated,
confronted Jason, but he ignored her. As
a revenge, Medea killed Creusa by giving
her a dress that stuck on her and put her
on fire; her father Creon was also burned
trying to save his daughter. Medea then
killed her sons that she had with Jason,
fearing he would kill them as retaliation. F Gd (10) Health: 80

93
they had indeed killed him. Achilles was
also suspected as well.
After nine years of conflict, aboard his
chariot, Diomedes battled Troy allies
Aeneas of Dardanus and Pandarus of
Lycia. He was protected from Pandarus'
weapons by Athena, who also guided his
own javelin towards Pandarus, killing him.
He then grabbed a massive boulder, and
hurled it towards Aeneas. Hurt, Aeneas
was joined by his goddess-mother
Aphrodite, but Diomedes wounded her as
well, in the palm and just above the wrist,
causing her to retreat. Still determined to
achieve Aeneas, Diomedes was then
opposed by Thor, Asgardian god of
Thunder and recent friend of Aeneas. As
his spear and sword were destroyed by
Mjolnir, Diomedes preferred to retreat and
seeked humans to battle. He went into
Ares, the God of War (who had joined the
Trojans) and wasn't able to turn aside.
Thanks to Athena's intervention, his
sword struck into Ares' chest, forcing him
to retreat to Olympus. Months later, when
Amazon Queen Penthesileia joined the
Trojans, she looked for Diomedes, Ajax
and Achilles. After Achilles defeated her,
he gazed upon her body and was mocked
by Thersites, whom he killed, causing
rejoice among the Achaeans, except for
Diomedes who wished for a moment to
avenge him.
After Odysseus trapped Priam's son, the
prophet Helenus, he obtained from him
that Troy would not fall until the Bow of
Heracles loosed arrows against it, and
also that he needed to steal the Palladium
(Athena's image) from her temple in Troy.
Diomedes was dispatched to Tenedos to
retrieve Philoctetes who had been left
there after having been wounded during
the trip to Troy. As Eurypylus of
Teuthrania had come to help Priam, and
as an oracle had decreed that Troy would
fall only when the son of Achilles would
fight beside the Achaeans, Odysseus and
Diomedes went to Scyros to retrieve
Achilles' son Neoptolemus.
Once the Wooden Horse trick was
devised, Odysseus went into Troy to steal
the Palladium, possibly aided by
Diomedes. Diomedes was among the
warriors hidden inside the Wooden Horse,
slaughtered the Trojan guards and
opened the doors for the Argive host to
invade the city. Agamemnon entered
Priam's palace with at his side Diomedes
and Neoptolemus. Diomedes then
intercepted Ajax the Lesser who had
profaned Athena's temple to take
Cassandra as his concubine. Ajax was
immediately stoned by his peers for his
blasphemy, and retreated into the temple
where he was left to be. Returning to
Argos, Diomedes met little trouble and
arrived safe at home.

vow of celibacy. Eventually Medusa broke
the vow and ultimately gave birth to
Poseidon's son, Cyclops. Athena found
out that Medusa had broken the vow and
disgraced the goddess' temple. She
transformed the Gorgon sisters into scaly
hags with snakes for hair. The Gorgons
fled Olympus to Earth to live in isolation
while petrifying unwitting victims, literally.
All their descendants bore the same
curse creating a mythical species of
Gorgons. Sometime in the fourteenth
century BCE, Perseus located the
Gorgons' hermitage in the wilderness
surrounded by the petrified victims. Using
his shield's reflective surface, Perseus
beheaded Medusa and subsequently
used her head as a weapon. After
Medusa's death, her daughter relocated
to subterranean world below Athens -
Medusa-Land. Medusa's daughter, who
took her mother's name, became the ruler
of the city. Her descendants, each took
the name Medusa and ruled the city after
the deaths of their mothers. Generations
later King Kreon of Pylos sent Hercules to
retrieve the gold of Medusa from the Isle
of Fear. On the island he encountered
Medusa, alive and well, concealing her
face behind a hood. Hercules and the
Argonauts ended up slaying her once
again. With Medusa's death, Jason and
all her prior victims reverted back to flesh.
Somehow turning up alive again in the
1920's, Medusa became a famous
photographer named "May Dusa". During
the same era Professor Lansing
discovered the Medusa-Land and
attempted an expedition to discover its
riches. Sometime later Medusa moved to
Paris, France with a blind man from
Greece, her husband. He wins an art
competition by using one of Medusa's
victims as an art piece. At some event
Medusa or one of her descendants
became imprisoned by a curio shop
owner. A robber was turned to stone upon
discovering Medusa behind a vault door.
The shop owner placed the criminal's
stone body in his shop. Sometime later, a
customer wanted to know the story
behind the "statue", and the owner told
him; the customer did not believe him, but
when the owner challenged him to open
the door himself, he fled in terror,
convinced. Years later Mr. and Mrs. Grey
bought the cursed European castle with
Medusa imprisoned inside. Mr. Grey
unknowingly released Medusa from her
prison, but she failed to turn to stone.
Thinking that her own curse had been
somehow lifted, she looked at herself in
the mirror turning herself to stone.
In modern times the head of Medusa was
found in an archaeological dig in Greece
by Mr. Collins. He held on to the head for
many decades, until it was stolen from
him by. Mr. Collins hired Moon Knight to
recover the head of Medusa. Spector
managed to recover the head but in a
petrified state. More recently the original
Medusa was brought back to life via the

Running Megara:
Megara was the wife of Hercules and was
killed by him through the acts of Hera.
HISTORY:
Megara was a mortal woman descended
from the House of Cadmus in Thebes,
Greece, circa 13th BC. She was the
daughter of King Creon. When he heard
that the neighboring kingdom of Thebes
had been taken over by Minyans and the
army defeated, he led a band of Theban
warriors to drive the Minyans out and
restore King Creon to the throne. Creon,
in gratitude, gave him Megara as wife.
97
Megara and Hercules had three sons;
Therimachus, Deicoon, and Creontiades.
The couples were happy with their family
until Hercules was called away on some
adventure and the kingdom was left
defenseless. He is performing the last of
his famous Twelve Labors and is in the
underworld attempting to subdue the
three-headed dog Cerberus.
When Hercules finally comes home, he
defeats and kills Lycus and then gives
thanks to the gods for his timely arrival
and the safety of his family. As he is
praying, however, he is struck by Hera
with a madness in which he believes his
sons are those of Lycus and that Megara
is his adversary Hera, and he kills them
all.
By 1240 BC, when many Argive (Greek)
princes asked for Helen's hand, her father
Tyndareus had them all swear loyalty to
the one she would choose for her mate.
Helen then chose Menelaus as such, and
they had a child. One day, Paris, son of
King Priam of Troy, came to Sparta's
court, having been secretly promised by
Aphrodite the hand of Helen. As
Menelaus was called away, summoned to
Crete by his grandsire, Aphrodite caused
Helen to become smitten with Paris, and
brought her and her dowry, great

Running Menelaus:
Menelaus just wanted to get his wife back
and it only took 10 years and a major land
war to do it.
HISTORY:
Menelaus also spelled Menalaos was the
son of Atreus, the grim King of Sparta,
and the brother of Agamemnon, High
King of the Argives and King of Mycenae.
Sailing to Troy, they crossed the Aegean
Sea but reached Teuthrania, in southern
Mysia. The Argives sacked it, thinking it
was Troy. They then sailed out once
again, but a Hera-sent storm scattered
the Achaean army, and they finally came
back to Aulis. There, during a hunting trip,
Agamemnon boasted about his feats,
causing the anger of Artemis, who
expressed her wrath upon the fleet and
preventing it from sailing away by
invoking a storm upon Aulis. Calchas
soon prophetized that Artemis would be
appeased by the sacrifice of
Agamemnon's daughter Iphigenia.
Agamemnon sent a message to his wife
Clytemnestra to trick her to bring
Iphigenia to Aulis, allegedly to marry her
to Achilles. Menelaus soon regretted to

98
have let his brother sent the message, but
Agamemnon was now compelled by his
army to sacrifice his daughter. The
sacrifice done, the Achaeans crossed the
sea, and while the army stopped at
Tenedos (where Philoctetes was left
behind due to a snake bite), Agamemnon
sent Menelaus, Odysseus and
Palamedes to Illium, and demanded that
Priam would return Helen and the
treasure stolen along with her. As Priam
refused, war began.
The Achaeans assaulted Troy's beach,
and the Trojans retreated after Achilles
slew Cycnus, son of Poseidon, and thus
the siege of Troy was set. For nine years,
the Achaeans kept on the siege of the
city, with rare battles against Troy and its
allies. After nine years of siege, Menelaus
and Paris fought in single combat to
decide the issue of the war. Paris was
easily bested, but while Menelaus was
dragging him to the Argives' lines,
Aphrodite intervened, rendering him
invisible and returning him to Troy.
Nevertheless, Agamemnon declared
Menelaus victorious, whose verdict was
confirmed by Priam. As they were
preparing for peace, the factions and their
gods plotted. Athena descended upon the
besieged city and influenced Troy ally
Pandarus of Lycia to shoot at Menelaus
while he stood next to the city's walls. The
arrow was deflected by Thor, but the
attempt led Agamemnon to refuse any
truce and to declare the destruction of
Troy as the only issue of the war. After
Achilles was killed at the Scaean Gates,
Menelaus and Agamemnon grieved for
him along with Achilles' mentor Old
Phoenix. On Achilles's funeral, he listened
as the son of Peleus' mother Thetis gave
her son's Hephaestus-forged armor to the
one who rescued his body from the
Trojans (though Ajax was the one to do,
Odysseus was awarded the price as he
had guarded Ajax's retreat). Informed of
his role in Troy fall by Priam's seer son
Helenus, Odysseus retrieved Philoctetes
on Tenedos, and the next day, he used
the Box of Heracles to slay Paris. As
Menelaus rushed to dismember his rival's
body, Philoctetes took him away and let
the Trojans recover him. Then Odysseus In 1942, his spirit materialized before

Menelaus, Odysseus, Diomedes and
Anticlus entered it, and the others set fire

behind to say to the Trojans that the
horse was an offering to Athena. Once
the Trojans had feasted their apparent
victory, Sinon alerted the Argives' fleet to
return, and informed the warriors in the
horse to come out. They slew the guards

boudoir, where he promptly killed her new
husband and Priam's son Deiphobus.
Intending to slew Helen as well, Menelaus
stopped as she stood proudly in front of
him. He next decided that for all the
Achaeans' suffering, it would be a shame
to kill her, and declared the sin to be only

Menelaus finally decided to set sail no

decimated by Athena, save for five ships,
and he and Helen took refuge in Egypt. In
time, they would reach Sparta, helped by
the Sea-God Proteus, and along with
Helen, ruled for many years, in prosperity
and peace.

Running Odysseus:
Odysseus was wily and crafty, able to

HISTORY:
Odysseus was the son of Laertes and the
ruler of the island kingdom of Ithaca in
Ancient Greece. He was one of the
original suitors of Helen of Sparta, and
swore loyalty to the one Helen would
choose. Menelaus succeeded in winning
Helen's hand in marriage. Years after, he
married Penelope who gave a son,
Telemachus. When Menelaus called on
the suitors to help him bring Helen back
from Troy after Paris, son of King Priam,
had taken her, Sparta's king went to
Ithaca with Agamemnon and Palamedes.
Warned by an oracle that if he went to
Troy, he would not until twenty years,
alone and destitute, Odysseus tried to
avoid fulfilling his oath, pretending
madness, plowing his fields and sowing
salt instead of grain. Palamedes placed
Odysseus' infant son in front of the plow,
and Odysseus stopped to avoid injuring
the child, revealing his sanity. He agreed
to sail to Troy.

102
Along with Nestor and Ajax, he went to
Scyros to find Achilles who had been
hidden at Lycomedes's court disguised as
a girl by his mother and sea goddess
Thetis. Odysseus was able to trick
Achilles into revealing, who decided to
join them. As the Achaeans approached
Troy, Menelaus, Palamedes and
Odysseus went in advance to King Priam
in order to demand the return of Helen to
avoid the bloodshed. As the war quickly
became a siege, Odysseus doubted, but
they were galvanized by Achilles who
recalled them of the glory, cattle, gold and
women to be taken in Troy. Odysseus
also held Palamedes responsible for
being there, having tricked him at Ithaca.
Hostility grew between Odysseus and
Palamedes. Palamedes was later found
drowned while he had gone out fishing,
and some stated Odysseus and
Diomedes were with him. Odysseus
refuted the claim, threatening of murder
those who would utters that lie again,
leading to whispers that they had indeed
killed him. Achilles was also suspected as
well. At some point in the war, Odysseus
fled from Hector who was intending to
burn the Achaeans' ships, but was
stopped by Ajax.
From nine to ten years later, he protected
Ajax at the Scaean Gates as the Greater
retrieved the lifeless body of Achilles, and
slew many Trojans in doing so. During
Achilles' funeral, Thetis offered his armor
to the man who rescued his body, and
Odysseus contested Ajax's claim, stating
that without him, Ajax would had been
killed as well. Ajax proposed that Nestor,
Idomeneus and Agamemnon would
decide, but Nestor highlighted the fact
that the loser would be wrathful, and so
Agamemnon designated high-born Trojan
captives decide, who awarded the armor
to Odysseus. Ajax was enraged, and at
night was touched with madness by
Athena, goddess of wisdom, who loved
Odysseus well. Athena caused him to kill
himself. In the morning, Odysseus
honored his body but refused to take the
blame for his death. Under the priest and
seer Calchas' instruction, Odysseus went
to a temple of Apollo where he found
Priam's son Helenus, a prophet.
Threatening him, he asked him how to
take Troy. Helenus replied that he had to
steal the Palladium from her temple, and
the Bow of Heracles had to loose arrows
against Troy. Odysseus understood that
he had to retrieve Philoctetes who had
been left behind on an island after he had
been wounded during the crossing of the
Aegean Sea. Odysseus returned with
Philoctetes, who killed Paris in an arches
duel. As Helenus also decreed that the
war would come to an end only the son of
Achilles fought besides the Achaeans,
Odysseus and Diomedes went to Scyros
to find Neoptolemus. Odysseus gave him
his father's armor. Despite their victories,
the Achaeans didn't managed to breach
the city. One midnight, Athena came in
dreams to Epeius, asking to build a
massive wooden horse, then burn the
camps and sail away to Tenedos.
Odysseus, helped by Loki devised that
the horse would be hollow and filled of
soldiers, and it would be presented as an
offering to appease the wrath of Athena
after stealing the Palladium. To fulfill
Helenus' prophecy, Achilles infiltrated
Troy, disguised as a disfigured beggar, to
steal the Palladium. He was recognized
by Helen who swore to not betray him.
Wishing to return to Menelaus, Helen
helped Odysseus stole the Palladium.
Some say Diomedes assisted him as
well. Odysseus killed many Trojans and
learned much about the city's
fortifications, then returned.
Once the Wooden Horse ready, the
chosen warriors entered it, the ships left
to Tenedos and the camp was burned
down. The Trojans came to collect the
offering, and Sinon was left behind to trick
the Trojans. Once the night came and the
Trojans were asleep, Sinon sent the
signal for the fleet to return, and awoke
the soldiers inside the Horse (Odysseus,
Menelaus, Diomedes and Anticlus,
among others), for them to slaughter the
guards, open the doors to the Achaean
army and invade the city. In the morning,
the Trojans were rounded up, and
Odysseus, supported by Calchas, stated
that Hector's infant son Astyanax was to
103
be killed to prevent his future vengeance,
and so Odysseus threw him from the
city's walls, against his mother
Andromache's complaints. Odysseus'
return from Troy took ten years and was
beset by perils and misfortune. He freed
his men from the pleasure-giving drugs of
the Lotus-Eaters, rescued them from the
cannibalism of the Cyclops Polyphemus
on the Hidden Isle. He survived the
enchantments of Sersi, an Eternal who
temporarily turned his crew into pigs, for
which she became famous in Greek
mythology as Circe.
He braved the terrors of Hades, the
Underworld with them, and while in the
land of the dead Hades allowed Teiresias,
Odysseus' mother, Ajax and others to
give him advice on his next journey. With
this newly acquired knowledge, he
steered them past the perils of the Sirens
and of Scylla and Charybdis He could not
save them from their final folly, however,
when they violated divine commandments
by slaughtering and eating the cattle of
the sun-god. As a result of this rash act,
Odysseus' ship was destroyed by a
thunderbolt, and only Odysseus himself
survived. He came ashore on the island
of the nymph Calypso, who made him her

intervened, Odysseus sailed away on a
small boat, only to be shipwrecked by
another storm. He swam ashore on the
island of the Phaeacians, where he was
magnificently entertained and then, at
long last, escorted home to Ithaca. There
were problems in Ithaca as well, however:
During Odysseus' twenty-year absence,
his wife, Penelope, had remained faithful
to him, but she was under enormous
pressure to remarry. A whole host of
suitors were occupying her palace,
drinking and eating and behaving
insolently to Penelope and her son,
Telemachus. Odysseus arrived at the
palace, disguised as a ragged beggar,
and observed their behavior and his wife's
fidelity. With the help of Telemachus and

cleansed the palace. He then had to fight

and in the voyage of the Argo. When their
sister Helen was abducted by Theseus,
they invaded Attica and recovered her.
They carried off the daughters of

and Lynceus. Castor was murdered by
Idas, but Pollux killed Lynceus; in
retribution Zeus killed Idas with a

choice between spending all his time on
Olympus or giving half of his immortality
to his mortal brother, so that they could
alternate realms together. Pollux elected

Helen, the wife of Paris, for all his
personal losses resulting from the war. In
the final year of the conflict, Priam saw 13
sons die: the Greek warrior Achilles killed
Polydorus, Lycaon, and Hector within one
day. The death of Hector, which signified
the end of Troy’s hopes, also broke the
spirit of the king. Priam’s paternal love
impelled him to brave the savage anger of
Achilles and to ransom the corpse of
Hector; Achilles, respecting the old man’s

then directed Namor to where the other
Avengers were being held which
happened to be the Garrison of the

Avengers made their way to Mount
Olympus, Prometheus spoke to them
while they were in the woods. When Zeus
caught up to the Avengers while Doctor
Druid was healing Hercules' brain,
Prometheus then declares that the battle
between man and gods has begun. While
Zeus continues his fight with the
Avengers, Hera sided with Prometheus
and Hermes. Prometheus healed Captain
America and Doctor Druid before
proceeding to try his luck into healing
Hercules where Doctor Druid and Apollo
had failed. Under the advice of Hermes,
Prometheus called upon Gaea's help to
do so while Thor and Captain Marvel
continued their fight with Zeus. When
Captain Marvel attempted to attack Zeus,
the blinding light she gave off distracted
Prometheus which caused Hercules to be
revived in a state of paranoia where he
attacked Prometheus. Luckily for
Prometheus, Doctor Druid managed to
fully heal Hercules' mind. After Zeus'
attack was halted, Prometheus arrived
showing signs of aging with some of his
hair turning white. Prometheus then
attended a reception on Mount Olympus.
Before teleporting the Avengers away,
Prometheus warned the Avengers that
there will be many challenges to come to
them and that mankind will be sorely
tested on one of them.

emerged victorious and Myrina took many
Gorgons captive resulting in a Gorgon

Running Sibylla:
Sibylla is a schemer and troublemaker,
but seems to engage in such behavior
only when others pester her.
HISTORY:
Sibylla is a Titan and was among the
Titans that were banished to the
underworld prison known as Tartarus, By
Cronus fearing that his children would rise
against him, as he took the life his father
Ouranus. Sibylla and the other Titans
were freed by Zeus, in his effort to
overthrow Cronus. Sibylla was later
sought by Bellona, seeking a challenge
that would exalt her beyond her brother
Ares in the eyes of Zeus. Sibylla shared
with Bellona that the young sorcerer
Kyllian would provide her the challenge
needed to accomplish her goals. After her
plan failed, Bellona returned distraught at
the seer, asking her if she foresaw that
the plan would fail. Sibylla, confirmed her
suspicions and asked Bellona if she
would like see the new visions of her
future. Bellona emphatically declined the
offer exclaiming that she would continue
her schemes alone.

Running Tantalus:
Tantalus was a mad-man willing to cut up
and feed his own child to the gods in an
effort to appease them with his sacrifice.
Instead he just gained their anger.

HISTORY:
Tantalus was the son of Zeus and the
nymph Plouto in Greek mythology, who
was punished after death in Tartarus.
With his wife, who may have been Dione,
Taygete, Eurythemista, or Euryanassa,
he fathered Pelops, Niobe and Broteas.
Thus, through Pelops, he was the
predecessor of the House of Atreides, as
his grandson was Atreus, and his great-
grandsons were Agamemnon and
Menelaus.

Cephalus is Zeus' personal huntsman. He

of Athens, Theseus instituted several
reforms, most notably the federalization of
the scattered Attic communities. Theseus
was imprisoned in Hades until Hercules
rescued him in his Final Labor, battling
Cerberus. He made a reputation of
"charming everything on the planet out of
their winged sandals and into his bed",
hinting he may have had intercourse with
Hermes. During his adventures, he also
developed an antagonistic relationship
with Beowulf.
Theseus was among the heroes present
at Olympus to fight off the armies of
Mikaboshi. As Hercules wished to

Cerberus is descended from Typhon,
creator of storms, and the serpent
goddess Echidna, daughter of Callirrhoe
and Chrysaor, a giant who was son of
Poseidon and Medusa. The children of
Typhon and Echidna were a mixture of
creatures similar to animals (legend says
this was due to a curse sent by a
goddess). Cerberus soon was left by his
parents; Typhon was imprisoned in Mount
Aetna after his insolent rebellion against
the Olympians, and Echidna marched to
Libya, where she kidnapped children to
feed to Cerberus and his brothers. Finally,
she was assassinated by Argus, a giant.
Cerberus was later used, by Hades, God
of the Underworld, to maintain order in his
kingdom after the Titans were defeated.
Cerberus assassinated Keres, an old
spirit who punished and terrified the dead,
and later occupied its place at the doors
of Hades, taking on his mission: to
prevent those who entered from leaving,
and send the living back to the world
above. Few have managed to leave
Hades without the permission of
Cerberus; among them is Orpheus' who,
after returning from his adventures with
the Argonauts, discovered that his
beloved Eurydice was dead, and went to
Hades to rescue her. He confronted
Cerberus, but, with his music, Orpheus
mesmerized the guardian of Hades, and
gained access to the netherworld. As part
of his Twelve Labors Hercules was sent
to capture and bring back Cerberus, the

120
three-headed guard dog of the
underworld, without using weapons.
Hercules wrestled down the dog's wild
heads, and it agreed to go with him to
King Eurystheus. Cerberus was soon
returned unharmed to the underworld.

Running the Cretan Bull:
The Cretan Bull is a divinely created bull
from the sea. It wasn't anything more than
a giant magical bull.
HISTORY:
The Cretan Bull, was a handsome bull
sent forth from the sea by Poseidon.
Queen Pasiphae of Krete lusted after the
animal and coupled with it by hiding
inside a wooden cow crafted by the
artificer Daedalus. She later gave birth to
the Minotaur, a man with the head of a
bull. Hercules was commanded to fetch
the Cretan Bull as one of his Twelve
Labours. Upon completion of this task he
set the creature free and it eventually
found its way to the Athenian town of
Marathon where it laid waste to the
countryside. There it was finally destroyed
by the hero Theseus.
Running Ladon:
Ladon had one job, guarding the golden
apples of Olympus and he couldn't get
that right as Hercules got to them and
him.
HISTORY:
Ladon was the name of a monster in
Greek dragon, the guardian of the Golden
Apples in the Garden of the Hesperides.
Typhon and Echidna are his parents. One
source also mentions him as being the
brother of the Nemean Lion. During the
Labours of Heracles, one of the tasks the
demigod was given was to steal the
golden apples from the Garden of the
Hesperides, which was located
somewhere in the western corner of the
world. After traveling through the Libyan
desert and getting assistance by the sun
god Helios, Heracles eventually reached
the Garden of the Hesperides. There, he
killed Ladon, managed to retrieve the
golden apples, and returned to Tiryns
successfully completing his task.

 HISTORY:
In ancient times warrior queen Hippolyta
and her sisters were known among
various lands as war mongers. During
each attack, they would abduct young
girls, raising them among themselves to
be faithful warriors loyal to Hippolyta. This
practice gave rise to the origin of the
Amazons. Hippolyta ruled the women
warriors as their undisputed queen and
was the first to call her female followers
the Bacchae. This was the status quo for
many years, until the arrival of the
demigod Hercules on the shores of
Themyscira, the home of the Amazons.
Along with other famous heroes of the
times in the Argonauts (Jason, Theseus,

The Giants of Olympus are based on the

Greek myths, Gaea fertilized them from
the blood of Uranus. Following the defeat
of the Titans, Gaea sought for a way to
make the Giants immortal like the
Olympians. To keep Gaea from finding a
solution to this, Zeus withheld Helios,
Eos, and Selene from the night sky so
that Gaea wouldn't find it. The Giants
were prophesied by the female Titan
Themis to be indestructible and could not
be killed by a god or an immortal. Zeus
obtained the help of his son Hercules to
help fight them. Each of the Giants were
killed in the similar way as in the actual
Greek mythology.

HISTORY:
Gorgons are humanoids with hideous,

They are one of the many mystically race
created by the Olympians. Stheno,
Euryale and Medusa, were the children of
the ancient Titans Phorcys and Ceto.
After the Olympians' triumphed over the
Titans, the Gorgons became priestesses
of Athena and took a vow of celibacy.
Eventually Medusa broke the vow and
ultimately gave birth to Poseidon's son,
Cyclops. Athena found out that Medusa
have broken the vow and disgraced the

later King Kreon of Pylos sent Hercules to
retrieve the gold of Medusa from the Isle
of Fear. On the island he encountered
Medusa, alive and well, concealing her
face behind a hood. Hercules and the
Argonauts ended up slaying her once
again. With Medusa's death, Jason and
all her prior victims reverted back to flesh.
During the early part of the 20th century,
Medusa somehow turned up alive again
in the 1920's, as a famous photographer
named "May Dusa". During the same era
Professor Lansing discovered the
Medusa-Land and attempted an
expedition to discover its riches.
Sometime later Medusa moved to Paris,
France with a blind man from Greece, her
husband. He wins an art competition by
using one of Medusa's victims as an art
piece. At some event Medusa or one of
her descendants became imprisoned by a
curio shop owner. A robber was turned to
stone upon discovering Medusa behind a
vault door. The shop owner placed the
criminal's stone body in his shop.
Sometime later, a customer wanted to
know the story behind the "statue", and
the owner told him; the customer did not
believe him, but when the owner
challenged him to open the door himself,
he fled in terror, convinced.
Years later Mr. and Mrs. Grey bought the
cursed European castle with Medusa
imprisoned inside. Mr. Grey unknowingly
released Medusa from her prison, but she
failed to turn to stone. Thinking that her
own curse had been somehow lifted, she
looked at herself in the mirror turning
herself to stone. In modern times the
head of Medusa was found in an
archaeological dig in Greece by Mr.
Collins. He held on to the head for many
decades, until it was stolen from him by.
Mr. Collins hired Moon Knight to recover
the head of Medusa. Spector managed to
recover the head but in a petrified state.
Medusa was brought back to life via the
Hand's resurrection ritual alongside with
number of Ancient Greek monsters to be
used by Matsu'o Tsurayaba against
Wolverine and Hercules. Medusa's attack
was unsuccessful and resulted in
beheading. Ironically enough, her head

HISTORY:
THE HARPYIAI (Harpies) were the

They were known as the hounds of Zeus
and were dispatched by the god to snatch
away (harpazô) people and things from
the earth. Sudden, mysterious
disappearances were often attributed to
the Harpyiai. The Harpyiai were once sent
by Zeus to plague King Phineus of Thrace

The Minotaur was the offspring of the
Queen Pasiphae and the Bull of
Poseiden. Her husband, King Minos, had

Crete by the divine right of the sea-god
Poseiden (Neptune). To show his
appreciation, Minos promised to sacrifice
the first bull he saw to the sea-god,
knowing full well that he did not have one.
Poseiden then allowed one to appear, a
great white one, but Minos kept it as a gift
to himself rather than sacrifice it as
promised. Angered, Poseiden instructed
Eros, the god of love, to smite Pasiphae
with a love for the great bull. She
instructed Daedalus, the royal artisan, to
create a hollow wooden cow that she
could enter to admire the bull up close.
From within it, she became pregnant by
the bull which was later captured as the
seventh labor of Hercules and taken to
Greece.
In the beginning, Pasiphae believed the
child she conceived was Minos' and
named it Asterion after Minos' step-father
(actually, Minos' true father was Zeus,
Lord of the gods.) Young Asterion
however, was born deformed and slowly
grew up to resemble a bull. He never
learned to talk, possessed a brutal, more
animalistic amount of strength and an
intelligence slightly higher than most
animals. When Minos learned Asterion's
true origin, he locked the freakish monster
in the catacombs under the castle, and
then commissioned Daedalus to further
expand the catacombs into a maze so
that Asterion, now known as the Minotaur,
could not escape.
For several years in his war with the
Athenians, Minos used the maze of
catacombs, now known as the labyrinth,
to imprison his enemies for the Minotaur
to kill at his leisure. When King Aegeus of
Athens killed Minos' son Androgeus,
Minos vengefully forced Athens to pay
him an annual tribute of seven youths and
seven maidens. These he shut in inside
the labyrinth, where they either starved or
were devoured by the Minotaur.
