This is a myth made by me, it is entirely untruthful, and it is meant to be funny in a serious way, if you understand. Please review!
The Myth of Popius
There was once a day when Chiron, centaur and trainer of many heroes, was asked to take care of Zeus's adopted child. This day went terribly wrong, and had an effect on the whole world. However, since out of all tragedy comes good, the effect turned out to fill the bellies of many on Earth, or Gaea. Here is the story of Popius, a demigod whose life takes a tragic turn the day he was taken out of his father's care:
Zeus looked down upon the 12 children he could take to Olympus, and be their father for eternity. Artemis, goddess of childbirth stood nearby to oversee the adoption. "That one is most unfortunate, born with an allergic reaction to popped kernels of corn." She told Zeus. Zeus stared intently at the child, transfixed with his obvious strength and possible heroism. "I choose that one." said Zeus, dropping ten golden drachmas in Artemis's hand. "Very well." replied Artemis. She took the child and placed him in Zeus's arms. "I name him Popius, for his discomfort near popcorn." said Zeus solemnly.
Over the next five years, Popius grew strong. Even though he was only five years old, living in Olympus boosted his abilities. He was fond of his father, and never questioned who his real parents were. Then, one day, Zeus had to go battle in the first Titan War. He told his son he would be home soon, and that he would be in the care of a centaur while he was gone. So Chiron the centaur took Popius to him home, and placed him in front of the ancient television, made by Hephaestus ahead of time. But Chiron was careless, and didn't read the entire list Zeus had given him about what not to do with Popius, and so Chiron gave him a bowl of popcorn to enjoy. By the end of the movie they were watching, Popius was a giant, buttery popcorn. "Oh no! Whatever have I done?!" Chiron cried.
Popius could no longer breathe in the giant popcorn enveloping him, so he went to Hades. Hades took pity on him for being treated so carelessly, and made him into a god, in a different shape. Now he was a Corn Flake, for all to enjoy. That is how Corn Flakes were made.
Now Popius presents all with soggy breakfast cereal, and had even improved from just Corn Flakes, to Corn Pops, with the help of Demeter.
Just so you know, this is made because of the reference to Popius in my other story, Percy's Revenge. Please review, vote on my poll, and feel free to PM me if you have any questions!
