Game of Olympus: Zeus, Ancient Statues, and Greek Myths

Built on curiosity, careful research and a genuine love for Greek myths — here's how this mythology blog began, born from late nights spent chasing old legends, cross-referencing ancient sources, and falling deeper into the world of gods and mortals.

Our beginning

From a dusty old book to a mythology blog full of gods and legends

What started as margin notes scribbled late at night while rereading an old book of ancient Greek folklore has slowly grown into a full archive of legend, ancient art and mythical stories that we're endlessly proud of. We set out with one simple belief: that every tale of fortune, gods and mortals deserves to be researched properly and told with the same care the ancients gave it — never flattened, never rushed, never left to gather dust.

Today we work with a small circle of folklorists, translators and historians who share our respect for the source, cross-checking every legend against old manuscripts, ancient statues and temple inscriptions, so every story we publish lives up to the promise we made when this mythology blog first began — accuracy, respect, and genuine storytelling.

What this blog stands for

The craft behind every story we publish

Accuracy first

We never flatten a myth for convenience. Every legend is researched, checked against ancient sources, and told with the care it deserves.

Respect for the source

No invented endings, no modern shortcuts — just gods and legends passed down the way they should be.

Told with love

We genuinely love these mythical stories — and we think every reader can feel it.
