A bit about the world of olympus
Olympus is the world my Greek mythology stories are all set in. It is ruled by the twelve Olympian Gods and although a lot of the realms are based on ancient Greek mythology, they are all very different from each other.
In the real myths Hades was not an Olympian, Demeter was the twelfth goddess, but I have used some poetic license to alter this in my books :)
The ancient Greeks had a strong connection with constellations and the night sky, so I was inspired to name each God's realm after a well known astrological sign from our world. Which god is your star sign?
Aries - Ares
A dangerous island realm ruled by kings and queens of fierce tribes
Taurus - Dionysus
A wild forest realm with giant treehouses
Gemini - Hermes
Adjoining twin islands, thriving and wealthy, with aztec influence
Cancer - Hera
The most Greek of the realms, family orientated and peaceful
Leo - Zeus
A sky realm at the center of the world, ringing Mount Olympus
Virgo - Hades
A forbidden realm, also known as the Underworld
Libra - Athena
A sky realm, industrial, made up of platforms and bridges
Scorpio - Hephaestus
A forbidden realm, encased inside a series of volcanoes
Sagittarius - Artemis
A forbidden realm, a sanctuary for centaurs
Capricorn - Apollo
An island realm with extreme changing weather
Aquarius - Poseidon
An underwater realm made up of golden domes
Pisces - Aphrodite
A forbidden realm, tropical paradise
