WELCOME, DEMIGODS!


Theseus, Perseus, and other Greek heroes have something in common: in addition to being awesome, they had outside help. Theseus was gifted with Ariadne's string; Athena and Hermes visited Perseus, and gave him a shield, winged sandals, and a sickle that Kronos used to castrate Ouranos.

Later heroes learned from the mistakes of the heroes of the past, so there must have been something you thought was wrong with a particular Greek myth. If you were in their shoes, what would you have done? What did they do wrong that you think you would be able to do better?


Zeus: We never did anything wrong, so yeah. It's not gonna be an easy task.

Mya: *spits water that she was drinking*

Lillian: *chokes on a strawberry*

Vicy: *tries not to laugh*

Hera: *looks at demigods* *rolls her eyes* Look who's talking.

PROMPT: WRITE, NOT MORE THAN THREE THOUSAND WORDS, A RETELLING OF ANY GREEK MYTH.
