"The word "myth" does not refer to a falsehood, as it may seem, but rather a story that attempts to make sense of the world." -Anon
And so begins our tale:
"Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another.
And which of the gods was it that set them on to quarrel?" *
Thanks for the intro Homer*, but maybe we should try another approach to this Greek myth:

You know you all were singing along....even if it was just in your head.
Attempt number 3--Here is the sparknotes version:
You have Mt. Olympus where all the gods hang out, the Ocean, where Poseidon reigns, the Underworld when Hades is keepin' it hot, hot, hot, Earth where mortals, demigods, and heroes run a muck, and Tartarus which is so far under the underworld that people tend to forget it is there.
On the first day of this myth, there is great torment in all the worlds---a Giant War has broken out. Gods fighting demigods, Titans acting like hotshots, heroes stabbing people...there is sheer chaos everywhere. Who started it? Who of you will step up and stop it? Will the gods punish anyone? Who will restore peace to the world?
It is now Day 1, you have until 8pm EST to elect a Head God. Choose Wisely.
