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
​

A forbidden realm, a sanctuary for centaurs
