2 Hello, my fellow gods and goddesses, As you all know, I am not the type of God who concerns himself with meddling in human affairs, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I have just received a message from Pythia, the Oracle of Delphi, of some troubling matters that will cause some concerns for us in the future. She has seen the mortals worshipping other gods and forgetting all about those who have given them their lives. This is a complete disgrace and is disrespectful to us as gods, who gave them their puny lives. It is up to us to show these humans that their lives are in our hands and that without us they are nothing. We brought them into this world, so the least they can do is show us some respect. To do this, I have called upon all of you to form a council to show them who is really in charge. Before the prophecy, I was already considering doing something to reduce the growth of their population since their reproduction rates were starting to get a bit out of hand. But now we must show these worthless humans how much they need us. To do this, I am giving each of you the opportunity to meddle with their affairs and livelihoods as a way to show them how much influence we have on their lives. Their sudden disregard for us has been unexpected, and we need to figure out how to prevent an event like this from reoccurring. Hopefully, your various methods and manipulations will solidify our control for the next thousands of years we decide to let them continue to live on Earth. Trojan Olympic Council FLCS VII Personally, I don't want to waste my time with the tedious task of controlling humans, so I am going to leave that aspect of this council up to all of you. Although I am not going to be on the council, I may drop by if any of you need assistance, or just to see how things are going. We may not be the only ones aware of this prophecy, so I would highly recommend that you all work diligently to get all of this handled before they decide to intervene. If they do get involved, we probably won't like the outcome of their actions. I would also like to request that you keep your visits to the human realm limited unless it is necessary. Going to their realm frequently may cause them to become too dependent on our physical presence, and they wouldn't do anything without us there. It would also be very irritating and time-consuming for us to be there all the time constantly, so I would recommend that you choose your visits and actions in the human realm carefully. All of you were selected because of the powers you have and for your different areas of expertise. If we want to succeed, the council needs to be innovative with these methods because it will take something major to get all of their attention back to us. Each one of you has strengths and/or allies that I thought would be useful to get the humans back on track. Choose a side of the war and manipulate the events and people as you see fit. Do whatever you deem is necessary to sway them into believing in us again. I am trusting you to treat all of your decisions with the utmost care because the humans may not react to your actions the way you planned. Hopefully, you can all set aside your differences to come together for this important cause. I expect all of you to do what you must and try your best not to destroy everything we've done for them thus far. Don t screw this up for us, Zeus, King of Gods

3 Introduction Creation of the Trojan Olympic Council The Trojan Olympic Council is an alliance between the gods and titans to come together to reclaim their influence on the humans. Zeus called them all together for their various skills that would benefit the council's' purpose. For years, the humans have dedicated their time worshipping and sacrificing to the gods, but recently they have had a disregard to the traditional worshipping practices. Although all of the members of the council don't necessarily get along, they have set come together to work with Zeus to regain their influence over the humans. They are desperate to get all of their followers back, especially since they don't know the consequences that will ensue as the numbers dwindle. Zeus Starts a War When they first formed the council, the members all got together to think of the best way to get the humans back on track. Many ideas were thrown out, but ultimately, Zeus's idea was selected as being the most eye-opening. The idea chosen was to start a war in the human realm, and Zeus, along with the input of the council, made plans on how to initiate his plans for war. They decided to make it seem like the war started over a trivial human problem and then escalate it from there. To come up with a plan, the council called upon Eris, the goddess of discord, to work her magic and assist them in creating an ingenious plan. Since the sea goddess, Thetis was well acquainted with the gods and humans; they incorporated the plan into her wedding since no one would question their presence. Not everyone on the council had a role in the plan, but they were all in attendance to make sure everything ran accordingly. Thetis s Wedding Thetis is a beautiful goddess who caught the attention of Zeus and Poseidon. Both gods were fighting for her attention and the opportunity to bed with her. But it was prophesized that if either god did, she would bear a son that would grow to be stronger than his father. Because of this, she was married off to the mortal hero Peleus. All of the gods and goddesses were invited to attend the wedding, but for some "unknown" reason Eris, the goddess of discord, was left off the guest list. Eris wasn't exactly pleased with not receiving an invitation, so she snuck into the wedding and threw a golden apple with the words "For the fairest" inscribed on it. Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera all felt like they were the most beautiful and wished to claim the apple for themselves. With the three of them fighting for the apple, they called upon Zeus to be the judge. But Zeus wanted to make a human choose so the consequences of their actions would cause a war. He passed the selection of a human onto Hermes who chose Prince Paris, son of Priam and Hecuba. Paris s Decision Young Paris had a tough decision on his hands and to help him with his decision, each goddess offered him a reward. Unbeknownst to him, regardless of 2

4 who he chose, every choice has a consequence that would end in war. Athena's reward was to give him command over vast wisdom and luck in battle. Aphrodite offered him the opportunity to marry the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen of Troy. Finally, Hera offered him wealth and control over Asia and Europe, but Paris chose Aphrodite as the fairest and gave her the golden apple. Seducing Helen of Troy Before his decision, Paris was already married to a mountain nymph named Oenone, and they lived together in Mount Ida. But after he chose Aphrodite as the fairest, he abandoned his wife and went after Helen. Aphrodite's presence guided Paris to Sparta to claim Helen. Aphrodite was already married to Menelaus, brother of Agamemnon, king of Mycenae. Paris stayed with them for nine days, and for those days he spent his time deceiving Menelaus and seducing Helen. As promised, Helen fell in love with Paris, and she was going to leave her husband to live in Troy with Paris. On the tenth day of Paris's stay in Sparta, Menelaus left to attend his grandfather Catreus's funeral in Crete. His departure gave Helen and Paris the opportunity to run away together. Helen abandoned Menelaus and their nine-year-old daughter, Hermione, and sailed to Troy with Paris on a ship filled with stolen treasures they took from Sparta. Once Menelaus returned to Troy after the funeral and discovered Helen and Paris betrayal, he declared war against the Trojans. Helen s Numerous Suitors Being the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen had many suitors lining up to marry her. With all of the powerful men vying for her attention, her father, Tyndareus was afraid the rejected men would be offended and start a war. To prevent the violence, Odysseus came up with the idea to have each suitor swear an oath that they will defend the marriage of Helen's selected husband. Any man who refused the oath wouldn't be an eligible bachelor for her to choose. Helen was offered many gifts as incentives to choose the different men, but in the end, she chose Menelaus, who was the brother of the king of Mycenae, Agamemnon. However, when Aphrodite promised Helen to Paris, it went in direct violation of this oath and resulted in Helen's former suitors joining Menelaus in a war against the city of Troy. The Recruitment of Odysseus The Greek seer, Calchas, foresaw that Menelaus s side would be unable to win the war without the help of two men: Achilles and Odysseus. Menelaus first went to recruit Odysseus who had recently married Penelope and fathered a son.

5 Odysseus didn t want to leave because he found out that he wouldn t return home for twenty years and he didn t want to leave his family for that long. In an attempt to get out of going to war, Odysseus faked insanity. But that didn t fool Palamedes who put Odysseus s infant son in front of his moving plough, forcing him to steer away. Odysseus had no choice but to join the war, so he gathered his warriors and sailed to Ithaca and Cephallenia. The Search for Achilles After recruiting Odysseus, Menelaus went to recruit Achilles, who was the son of Thetis and King Peleus of Phthia. With her oracular power, Thetis saw a vision of two different fates for her son: one where he would win glory in war, but live a short life, and another where he would live a long life tending to his father s herd. Thetis wanted to protect Achilles, so she dressed him up as a woman and sent him to live in the court of Lycomedes. Achilles disguise was flawless, and it fooled Menelaus and Odysseus when they came to recruit him. But Odysseus was clever and fooled Hercules into revealing himself by sounding a war horn, making it seem like the palace was under attack. Once he was exposed, Achilles eagerly joined the war since he preferred living a short, glorious life over a long, boring one. He returned home to get ships and the Myridon warriors for battle, and he also received many gifts from his father, which included magical armor and sword, a chariot pulled by immortal horses, and a long javelin. When they were done in Phthia, the Greek forces gathered in Aulis, Boeotia, ready to go to war under the command of Agamemnon. Troy Calls Upon Its Forces Although King Priam is the leader of the Troy, his son, Prince Hector, commands the Trojan forces. The city of Troy s power reached farther than their land and into some of the other dynasties surrounding it. These dynasties sent their forces to aid the city of Troy in their battle against Agamemnon s army. With their help, Troy and the dynasties under its power had control over the majority of the coastal areas of Asia Minor and beyond. They also had allies come in from the other parts of Asia Minor to help defend the city, which included the Amazons, Lycians, and the Easter Ethiopians. Important Points Based off of their current situation, the god's everyday actions aren't enough to keep the humans faithful, so this council was created to help them figure out the best way to deal with their commitment issues. The gods and goddesses that make up the Trojan Olympic Council will focus their time in committee on manipulating the humans as the Trojan war progresses. During the different battles and conflicts that arise during the war, the gods will have the opportunity 4

6 to influence the human's' decisions, actions, and more with the help of their various skill sets, and allies. Each member will spend their time working on regaining the human's attention, as they try to work against time and interfering influences. The council members may not be the only ones who are aware of this problem, so they need to work quickly and efficiently before those outside forces decide to intervene. The Trojan Olympic Council may not know everyone they are up against, but they should be prepared to fight for their survival. Thanks to the meddling of Zeus and some allies, the Trojan War has been orchestrated to serve the council's purposes. The conflict has begun as the human sides have been sorted. All that is left is for the gods to choose their side and to let the battle begin! Committee will commence when the battle starts on Aulis, two years after Helen went to Troy with Paris. Conclusion The fate of Greek mythology is in the hands of the Trojan Olympic Council. If they don t get the humans to worship them, they may just become another forgotten mythology defeated by modernization. It is up to each member of the council to do their part and get these humans back on track. They have already done a bit of meddling to start the war and are willing to do a lot more to get what they want. Hopefully, every member can come together to get their point across and prevent the humans from relapsing in the future. Positions Apollo: God of the Sun, Healing, and Music Apollo is the son of Zeus and the titan goddess Leto. He is the god in charge of the sun and his twin Artemis controls the moon. He is also a master in healing and the patron of the city of Delphi. Apollo was also responsible for bringing plagues and diseases to the lands. He is usually seen in art with as a handsome young man with a bow and arrow. Apollo uses ravens as his spies and can see into the future. He can not only heal humans but enhance their senses as well.

7 Ares: God of War and Violence Ares is usually seen as the destructive and chaotic part of a war, in comparison to Athena. He is the son of Zeus and Hera, who didn't care about him. In his childhood, he was abducted by giants for thirteen months and was freed by Hermes. Ares is also a known lover for Aphrodite and has been publicly embarrassed by Hephaestus. As the god of war, Ares has a lot of different armor and weapons in his possession and fire-breathing war horses. He has many children from various women, and his daughters, Phobos and Deimos, are known to accompany him in battles. Athena: Goddess of Wisdom and War Athena sprouted from Zeus' head after he swallowed her mother Metis, and she is known to be his favorite daughter. She is brilliant and tactful, which has led her to many victories in battle. She is the opposite of Ares, and her compassion has resulted in fewer casualties in war. Athena frequently helps heroes on their quests as she did with Heracles and Perseus. She has many magical weapons in her arsenal and bestows her followers with wisdom and war tactics. Athena has invented many useful items and is known to be the patron of artisans. Hera: Goddess of Marriage and Birth Hera is the daughter of Cronus and Rhea. She is married to Zeus and is known as the Queen of the gods. Hera is very vengeful for those who cross her, but unfortunately, she is unable to get revenge on Zeus, who regularly cheats on her. Because of this Hera hates all of his mistresses and illegitimate children, and she continually finds ways to mess with them. Known for her temper, Hera is feared for her powers in transmutation, illusions, and mind control that she uses when others get on her bad side. Hephaestus: God of Fire and Metalworking. Hephaestus' sole parent is Hera, as a response to Athena's creation.because Hephaestus was viewed as imperfect, Hera didn't want to keep him, so she threw him in the ocean. He spent nine years in a grotto surrounded by Oceanus and used this time to improve his crafting skills. He has crafted many things for his fellow gods, including a winged helmet and sandals, silver arrows, and armor. Hephaestus is known to be very ugly, which is why he was chosen to marry Aphrodite. His works of art had the ability to come to life and move around of their volition. 6

8 Hermes: God of Trade and Messenger God Hermes is the son of Zeus and Maia, and he is the protector of travelers and thieves. He is known to be close to Zeus and serves as his messenger. Hermes uses a winged helm and sandals to help him deliver messages and his staff, Caduceus. He has excellent negotiating skills which has helped him get out of many tough situations and has also helped him become good friends with the god Apollo. Hermes has a staff that he uses to charm his fellow gods and to heal mortals as well. Artemis: Goddess of the Hunt, Moon, and Archery Artemis is the daughter of Zeus and the titan goddess Leto. She is known to be a protector for young girls and a fierce, uncontrollable warrior. Artemis is in control of the moon, and personality wise, she is very impulsive and confident. She is known to give or take away disease from women whenever she feels like it. Artemis spends a lot of her time in the wilderness where she protects the animals, and when around mortals she can heal them from terrible diseases. Demeter: Goddess of Agriculture, and Fertility Demeter is the daughter of Cronus and Rhea. She isn t on the best of terms with Hades due to his kidnapping of her daughter, Persephone. Her greatest gift to mankind was corn and agricultural techniques. Demeter is also the goddess who brings about the different seasons in the year. Outside of her abilities to control harvests, Demeter can also invoke curses on people and give mystical abilities to mystics and sorcerers. Aphrodite: Goddess of Love, Beauty, and Eternal Youth Aphrodite was created when Cronus castrated Uranus, and his testicles fell into the sea. She is considered to be a part of the titan's generation, but she is one of the leading Greek goddesses. Zeus married her off to Hephaestus because of her beauty, but she has had many lovers despite that. One of her many lovers is the Ares, the god of war. Aphrodite has the ability to affect people's emotions and fertility, as well as the power to charmspeak. Dionysus: God of the Grape Harvest and Religious Ecstasy Dionysus is the child of Zeus and a mortal named Semele. He is known to

9 wander all around Greece, and everywhere he visits, he teaches the locals how to make wine out of grapes. His popularity all over the world has helped him to earn his spot on Mount Olympus.

He has the ability to drive people insane and communicates with the living and the dead. Pan: God of the Wild Pan is known to watch over shepherds and their flocks and is depicted as being half goat.
