Troían Godfather

The greatest mob story ever told

now has a prequel

Another pulp epic by Árgos Panóptës

It didn’t all happen quite how people have always said.

Yes, there was a goddess who reacted badly when she wasn’t invited to a party. An impromptu divine beauty contest. Some weird sex involving a swan. A couple of political marriages and a controversial love affair. All these played their part in starting the Trojan war. But ultimately this is a story about who controls destiny – is it gods, ambitious kings, the three evil sisters called the fates, or something else?

Zev́s just wants to enjoy his quiet, comfortable life as god-father of the Olýmpian family, the deities who dominate the Héllenic world from their home atop Mount Ólympos.

His wife Héra mostly wants greater power as queen of heaven. And to put an end to her husband’s philandering.

And Apóllon, god of light, prophecy, healing and the arts, wants to expand his worship and his power to the east of the East.

Árës, the Olýmpian god of war, He Who is Strong in Arm and Doughty of Heart, may wish to assert himself too.

Meanwhile an extremely ambitious mortal prince called Agamémnon struggles to overcome his family curse. Can Agamémnon regain the kingdom which was stolen from him when he was sixteen? Can he learn how to manipulate the favour of gods and goddesses, to control his own destiny the way no mortal man ever did, and make himself the most powerful king in the world?

Based on his unrivalled access both to the underworld and to the Bronze Palace on Mount Ólympos, Titánic narrator Árgos Panóptës weaves together an epic story of love and war, intrigue and powerplay on earth and in heaven; of the rivalry of cities, the rise and fall of dynasties, the fortunes of families both mortal and divine.

More theological noir. The story of The Troían Godfather.
