Come, sit.

The fact that you are here is no accident – the gods have called for you to turn your eyes to their actions once more. Zeus, the King of Olympus, has decreed that the Pantheon must return to Earth, for they are losing their way. Who is ‘they’? Perhaps it is you, dear mortal, lost within the eras of modern-day technology. Or perhaps it is the Gods, unsure of how to reinvent their own wheel, or whether they should even try.

It has been far too long since you looked to us for guidance, since you have asked for the heavens to come down and help you. We will wait no longer – we are here, mortals. Right now.

History tells tales of the old Gods of Greece, where they took pity on mortals, made them champions to their causes, played games with their minds. There are, as you may know, many unsavory stories as well.

We are more than an old scribe’s tales. History was written by the victors and those with deep opinions, and in this new age, we strive to become more than old Homer’s flowery and potent words, or Ovid’s ballads of conquest and pillage.

Many of us have made our path down the mountain, others were among you the entire time...

The Deities

The Primordials

The Titans

TITANS The gods of the ancient Greek pantheon are divided into various categories. The first of these–the Olympian gods, Titan gods, and primordial gods–represent the three generations of deities to rule the cosmos.

The Titan gods were the twelve Uranides (Cronus, Oceanus, Iapetus, Hyperion, Crius, Coeus, Rhea, Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, Themis, and Mnemosyne) and the four Iapetionides (Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoetius).

The children and grandchildren of the Titans that bore the name of Titan are the Hyperionides (Helius, Selene, and Eos), the Coeides (Leto, Asteria, and Hekate) and the Creionides (Pallas, Astraeus, and Perses).

The Titans of In The Pantheon includes:

Prometheus, and Selene

The Olympians

The Olympians are the major deities of the Pantheon World, though the name denotes the generation that spawned from them, rather than the fifteen it is typically associated with. Their name, Olympians, originates from Mount Olympus, which was their ancestral residence.

The Olympians came into power after dethroning the Titans, which resulted at the end of the great war between the Olympians and the Titans, called the Titanomachy. This council presides over the Assembly of Deities when called.

These Olympian deities include Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hermes, Hestia, and Dionysus.

Though, originally not part of the council, Hades and Persephone, as representatives of the third domain-- the Underworld--have joined in this time of crisis and rebirth.

The Goddesses of In The Pantheon includes:

Atë, Circe, Eris, Hekate, Medusa, Moxie, Nike, and Tyche.


Muses

MUSES The history books are rich with the exploits of the gods and goddesses, but none were more influential than the muses who were the embodiments of science, literature, and arts. Their primary desire was to give inspiration, knowledge, artistry, and music to the Pantheon World.

These muses lived on Mount Olympus building their homes on the Muses’ plateau. It is here where they entertained the Olympians with stories and poetic lyrics, dancing and music, sculpting, and more.

The mortals concocted many conflicting stories about the origin of the muses, their appearances, their gender, and even the number of muses. Any correction to the old legends is best left to the words of the muses themselves.

The muses of the Pantheon World includes:

Calliope, the Muse of epic poetry; Clio, the Muse of history; Erato, the Muse of lyric poetry; Euterpe, the Muse of music; Melpomene, the Muse of tragedy; Polyhymnia, the Muse of sacred poetry; Terpsichore, the Muse of dance and chorus; Thalia, the Muse of comedy and idyllic poetry; Urania, the Muse of astronomy.
