Olýmpian Godfather

The greatest mob story ever told

The original pulp epic by Árgos Panóptës

The first ever theological noir

One day, for the first time in a thousand years, a new god arrives at the Bronze Palace on Mount Ólympos. His name is Gaius Julius Caesar.

Most Olýmpians assume it was the god-father who has deified Caesar. Only Zev́s himself knows the truth. So the god-father must covertly find out who made Julius Caesar a god – and why.

Round about the same time, Zev́s has a dream in which a gang of hooded rivals overthrow him. And in the dream the rivals are led by one of Zev́s’s many sons. But which son?

Of course Zev́s became god-father by overthrowing his own father, Krónos, who in turn had become god-father by overthrowing his father Ouranós. So does this dream signal an impending rebellion amongst the Olýmpian family?

But how did Zev́s come to have a dream anyway? Everyone knows the dreams are noncorporeal minor divinities employed by Zev́s himself to send messages to mortals. The dreams very rarely get sent to gods, and they never get sent to the god-father. So what’s going on? Is this a rogue dream? Is one of the Olýmpians trying to warn Zev́s of an impending rebellion? Or is this some kind of trick played by a rival family of gods?

As the mystery unfolds, and the shocking events of two thousand years ago play themselves out, we finally learn the truth about what became of Zev́s and the other Greek gods and goddesses.

And in the process, we discover one of the most closely-guarded secrets of all divinity everywhere: where do deities get their power?
