I decided to modernize my Greek mythology stories a bit. Not have the characters all old and naked. They're all actually quite young-looking. Imagine Tuck Everlasting if you will. And I gave them names. It's a bit confusing at first, but once you get it, it's easy to follow. I've also made a few changes in it that differs from true mythology.
1. Birth order, and it goes as follows: Hestia, Poseidon, Demeter, Zeus, Hera, Hades
2. Some of the "rules" bestowed to the Gods, as will be shown later.
3. The romances between the Gods. It shall turn out rather...interesting and unexpected.
4. Speaking of romances, the whole brother/sister thing: They were THE Gods, it's not like they had a big choice or anything. At first anyway...
And in case you get confused...
Starting characters
Zeus-Timothy
Poseidon-Andrew
Hades-Benjamin
Hestia-Jenna
Hera-Erica
Demeter-Gwendolyn
All the Gods and Goddesses had flaws, here's what the ones in my story had. So if you're wondering why they start acting weird, and don't know about Greek mythology, here's kinda of a quick summary of them. (I'm just talking now, and I have no idea what I'm saying...)
Tim: He's a bit of a...well, man-whore, quite like Zeus
Andrew: Flies off the handle (spaz, I guess you could say). Poseidon got really mad about dumb things.
Benjamin: Depressed, gloomy, not appreciated, you get the idea.
Jenna: She's Hestia. Hestia didn't even really have any big flaws. She actually couldn't stand all the fighting and jealousy.
Erica: In my story she's depicted as slightly air-headed, but she's easily made jealous, just like Hera was in Greek mythology.
Gwendolyn: I always thought of Demeter as a bit selfish.
Characters added later
Hecate-Vicki/Victoria
Dionysus-Colin
Aphrodite-Samantha
Ares-Brien
Hermes-Oliver
And just WHY did I change their names, everyone? Well, since it is MODERNIZED, you wouldn't name your kid today Zeus, would you?
If you find any grammatical or spelling errors, please notify me, because I get REALLY anal about mistakes like that, and I will fix it as soon as possible.
