Discovery Of Medicine Ω On Mt. Olympus Zeus wasn’t feeling very well. Every time he coughed he would cause chaos to the world. This was the very first time a God wasn’t feeling well so he felt as if he was poisoned. He sends Hermes to send a message to the humans. That everyday he would need one person to sacrifice them selves so the scent will raise to the skies relieving Zeus's symptoms. It was like Motrin it didn’t last for very long. The humans started to refused to give more people to be sacrificed. Zeus understood why. He asked Hera to find him a cure. She went searching for a cure, She found a human on the bottom of Mt. Olympus he had created medicine to cure sickness. Hera asked him for some medicine and he said “Yes”. Hera said “For your generosity you will be given a gift of eternal life or a family of your own”.

Zeus started feeling better and Hera never forgot that man. Hera recalls the mans name as Dr.Richotoften .Ω

Zeus was so dissipointed that he put him in the underworld and never wanted to speak to him or see him again. Years went by and everything was back to normal. No one had even heard or spoke of his name. One day a young man who was a very young and very ugly boy. Was walking around Mt. Olympus. He did not know what to do or where to turn. He had been walking around for a few hours now. He had noticed a woman who looked like him. He stood there and said excuse me miss. She replied and said oh hello can I help you? He replied I’m very lost and I live in the underworld. She had a very confused look on her face. What’s your name she replied. Harry he said in a very soft voice…

Thesues and The Minotaur By Daniel Kim pale, white skin and a heap of hair growing on their head. Today I think that the batch of kids are going to be coming down due to the fact of the blasting music in the background of Katy Pary and Chris Brown. Also, I can smell the delicious pizza that I always think is for me but never comes to me. Later in the day, a few children came down one by one, but then, there was a boy who looked older than the other ones. He carried a sword, a shield, and a ball of twine. He ran at me screaming like a girl. The strange boy first tried to cut me with his sword, but he was to slow. I tried to tell him that I wasn’t going to hurt him, but he didn’t listen. I was trying to dodge him, but he was to quick and jumped onto my back and took me by his horns and ripped my head clean off. I don’t understand why he had to kill me. I didn’t hurt any one. However, he was very surprised to see the children behind my dead body. He took the children and had sent some very surprising news to his father about the real Minotaur. Hello, my name is the Minotaur, I don’t know why my name has “the” in front of it, but that is how it is. Right now I’m in a giant maze called the Labyrinth that is very dark and smells like rotting bodies. I wonder where it came from, but they send 7 young boys and 7 girls to me once a day. It’s very strange having dozens of boys and girls in this crammed space, but they seem scared of me like I’m going to eat them or something. Other than that, I was sent here to try out this amazing maze I guess because I had a ball. Know that I think about it, that’s the only fun thing that I did and I never had that much fun as a kid since I was always kicked out of playing school sports like football because they said my horns were a “safety hazard,” but that’s all they didn’t want of me. And now, I’m in this terrible cave with nobody to talk to except the dozens of frightened children staring at me like I’m a monster. I mean come on, they look like monsters themselves with that

By Owen Spain . His plan was to challenge this man to a game of Othello, a popular game at the time. If Theodore won, then the Bull-Man would become a vegetarian. If the bull-man won, he would get to eat Theodore’s succulent wiener dog. When Theodore arrived at The Bull-Man’s Labyrinth of a house, he was Dumb-founded at the size. Before he went in, Theodore went to the local diner to get some energy for the journey ahead. At the Diner he caught a beautiful girl’s eye, her name was Rachael. They exchanged phone numbers and talked, Theodore found out that she was the daughter of the owner of the restaurant, she gave him a free download on his iphone that let him read bar-codes. When Theodore went into the open door, a barcode was on the side giving him directions throughout the house, making it easy to find the Master suite at the heart of the house. Here, the Bull-Man was sleeping. Theodore woke him up and he challenged him to Othello. The game was intense, you could cut the tension with the knife, but After 2 hours of back and forth playing Theodore won, making the Bull man swear to be a vegetarian, under pain of suing. Theodore and the Bull-Man It’s 2008, the very happy teen, Theodore, got a text saying to look up the Jamaican Bull-Man. Upon hearing this, he googled the Bull-Man on his phone. This is what he read: A man in Jamaica has been reported to have what look like bull horns, also he has an extremely hairy face, making him look like a bull-man. The only thing he eats is the raw meat of dogs. He has refused medical help. Theodore was intrigued , but he read on. The Gang this man controls, has been going around the neighboring places and stealing their dog and putting them in the man’s labyrinth of a house. Since he once had a lost dog, Theodore knew how it felt to lose a dog. And it was not a good feeling. The next day, when Theodore got back from school, he saw four mysterious men riding on Harley Davidson's, but he recognized something sticking out of the helmet on the lead biker; Horns! Theodore was surprised that he was here, but since he was disgusted at this man and his diet, so he begged and begged his parents to let him go. After what felt like, 1 billion hours he got permission and the money

Fruitsnacks By: PranavDamera Zeus punished Fruitsnacks by chaining him to the bottom of the ocean. Everyday for the rest of his life, Fruitsnacks was getting eaten by a shark then reborn in the chains. Zeus still wanted to punish the humans. He sent fast food joints onto planet Earth. To this day, tons of people get obese or die from obesity. Moral: Do not disobey your authorities. Fruitsnacks, the god of treats, was in his room wondering…………what creation shall I make to give to humanity for all their hard work down on Earth. He goes out to Mt. Olympus and asks Zeus, the king of the universe, to let him use the sacred juices of the sacred vending machine. Zeus declines. Fruitsnacks gets angry and instead of asking, he steals the juices and uses it to make artificial flavored gummies for humans. He sends it down to Earth. To his horror, the humans started getting obese because they were abusing the gift by overeating. Fruitsnacks was not aware that Zeus actually cursed the humans as a punishment for eating the sacred juices in the gummies.

Zeus lifted his weapon into the air and suddenly, out of nowhere, lightning appeared in the sky right above Mt. Olympus. Zeus was ecstatic, but others were frightened. They all knew what lightning can do and the power of it. The village on Mt. Olympus was now scared of Zeus and his lightning’s power. Zeus had a conference and invited the village by making lightning crash with thunder to make a big explosion in the air. All the people in the village grabbed their children and ran to the fire. Zeus turned to the people of Mt. Olympus and gave them an evil stare. He talked to them and started asking them questions about the lightning he had created. They all answered good things about the Zeus’s lightning bolt because if you made one rude comment about his creation he would zap you with a lightning bolt. Everyone was frightened. Zeus ended the conference by raising his weapon into the sky and tried to strike a bolt of lightning but nothing came out. No lightning appeared. NOTHING! The village was really pleased that Nemesis punished Zeus for being cruel to the village and treating them badly. Zeus was now suspended from his lighting usage and was now lonely and couldn’t create anymore evil in the world. THE END!!! Lightning Revenge!! By Gaby Lagomarisno

FOUTAIN of YOUTH • A long time ago when the gods lived in peace with the humans, The gods named themselves so great that the humans had to worship them. That one a year the humans placed a gift on Rock Allamentraggo and the god Imopenall the gate keeper. Mount Olympus will bring it up to their Mountain in the sky. But one day two farmers admired the gods so much that they spent their whole year building a fountain, and when they drug it to rock Allamentraggo, they left it for the gods. When Zeus laid his eyes on it all he could do is cry. He thought it was so beautiful that he must show the other gods. They all begin to cry with Zeus. The mixture of all the Godly tears created an immortal potion That provided immortal life to mortals. The gods have noticed what they have done but they couldn’t destroy it for it was too beautiful. So they had to hide it because if the mortals were to find it gods wouldn’t be different from everyone else. The gods loved their ability to do whatever they want. So they took The fountain to the underworld were they knew it would be safe under Hades protection.

The Gryphon Josh Howard During the dawn of creation the great god Zeus assigned the gods Prometheus and Epimetheus to populate the earth. The god Prometheus spent much of his time on the creation of humans but his brother Epimetheus spent very little time on his creations this creations consisted of modern day animals and some not so modern day animals. These consisted of cats, dogs, fish, lions, alligators, and birds. Other more complex and extinct creatures are the dragons, hydras , but the greatest of all was the Great Gryphon. The great gryphon was a great ruler of the air and land. The gryphon is a creature that is half lion and half eagle the wings provide the gift of flight and the lion provides strength and pride to the great creature. This became a problem for all of the other creatures of the world. They could not survive a single night. The other creatures of the earth could not compete to the great power of the gryphon. the humans even trembled in fear at the sight of them. Zeus was astonished to see such domination over his land, so he sent out even greater creatures to defeat the great gryphon. Dragons, hydras, seraphs and wraiths all flooded the earth and the result is none less than total annihilation of the race. Prometheus recreated all of the creatures and made sure to evenly distribute their powers. But it is said that somewhere on our world today a single gryphon survives and has yet to be found.

Hear ye here ye Hey there you! You look like you could really use a good set of wings right now. Being stuck in that deep hole right now you could really use some, and they could be yours for just a small price of 10 GOLDEN COINS! Thats right infinate flight forever for just one small fee of 10 golden coins. Now how do you feel in this hole I feel like I need to get a pair of wings. Well to bad for this poor savilian because we just sold our last pair for the day.

Why People Die Of Obesity and why Chuck Norris died? By: Jacob Howland On Mt. Olympus Zeus asked Poseidon to get a seafood dinner for Mt. Olympus. Poseidon went on a all day fishing trip to get the food. Everybody was very excided and could not wait for the seafood dinner. Poseidon went off and caught 60 tuna 100 salmon and 1 sardine. Poseidon saw a bunch of fish were having a food eating contest. There were lots of fish there like mermaids. Also Chuck Norris was there. Chuck was the master at food eating contest and Poseidon wanted to beat him to impress a mermaid in the stands. Poseidon asked Chuck to a contest but Chuck said they were out of food, so Poseidon offered his. They begin eating but before Chuck could finish his sardine Poseidon ate all the other fish. The mermaids loved him and Poseidon felt successful. Though because of that Chuck Norris committed suicide. When he returned to Mt. Olympus Zeus was very upset. Zeus told Poseidon to go back to the ocean and get more food or he would send him to his room. Poseidon was so tired he wanted to go to his room so he did. Zeus got very angry and was very hungry so he kicked Poseidon out of Mt. Olympus. He was so depressed and could not stop eating. Soon he took up so much room that no space was left for fish to swim. Hades realized he was getting too fat and made him die of obesity. Poseidon then lived with Hades in the underworld and became his right hand man. Then a lot of stupid humans wanted to be like Poseidon and became obese and died. Now today people die of obesity all the time because Hades found a new way to make people die. Moral: Do not go back for seconds and don’t challenge Chuck Norris.

How Hamburgers Came To Be By : Kevin Fitzgerald One day on mount Olympus the gods had returned from their trip to the underworld to find that Poseidon’s pet minotaur had completely destroyed Zeus’s throne. So Zeus ordered Poseidon to kill the minotaur, but of course Poseidon argued to keep it. However in the end the majority of the gods decided to kill it. So Poseidon left depressed with his minotaur to go kill it and give it a proper burial at sea. He had his trident poised to pierce the creatures head when heard Apollo Yelling for him to stop. Apollo came running to Poseidon and asked if he could somehow spare the minotaur. He thought that no animal should have to be unjustly killed. So Poseidon told him that if he could somehow convince Zeus to keep the minotaur he would spare it. So when Apollo asked Zeus to spare the minotaur he said that it would not be killed if he could find a use for it. So Apollo set off happy that he could find a solution. However when Poseidon and Apollo went to think they were not able to find any use. So they began experimenting. First they made 50 more minotaurs and attached large loads of bricks for them to haul but they soon found that the minotaurs did not like the harnesses and rammed the carts into the houses of people. Then they attempted to ride on them but again found that the minotaurs did not like this and they violently resisted until Apollo and Poseidon had fallen off. Apollo and Poseidon went back to mount Olympus to relax a little and blow off some steam. They had given up on finding a use for the minotaur so they thought that maybe they might be able to compromise with Zeus. So they went to go talk with Zeus and he became very angry that they thought they could compromise with him. He told them that compromising shows and a true god would only have there way and nothing less. In fact he was so angry that he threw one of his thunder bolts at one of the minotaurs! Apollo and Poseidon ran to the minitaur to see if they were to late to help and unfortunately they were. But what they did find was cooked meat of some sort that they had never seen before. So they tasted it and it was delicious but it lacked something. So they put bread on it and after many attempts they had created a new type of bread they called it a bun and they named their new food a hamburger. So in the end Zeus got his wish that all minotaurs be killed and Apollo and Poseidon were able to raise minotaurs for their beef. Today many people eat hamburgers but instead of calling the animals that we get the beef from minotaur they are call

Ariadne’s Revenge Ariadne looked around. Everything around her seemed to be getting smaller. Before she knew it, she was up in a place she thought she could only dream of-Mount Olympus. She flew around gracefully, looking for someone to explain to her how she had gotten there. She saw a tall woman with long blonde hair. Aphrodite? Ariadne called for Aphrodite and the goddess turned and smiled. She explained to Ariadne how she died. It turned out that Theseus had left Ariadne stranded on an island and had stolen all of her gold. She had nothing to eat so she died in less than a week. Ariadne, remembering how hurt she had felt, began to cry. Aphrodite soothed her and told her that she would help her take revenge on Theseus. Ariadne had always been raised to forgive others, but this was a matter of her life. Theseus had recently lost his throne as king of Athens, so he was trying to find a way to earn money. He had been looking for jobs. Aphrodite suggested an excellent way to take revenge on him. Aphrodite sent Ariadne back to Earth in a human form as the owner of a bakery. She set up a HELP WANTED sign on the window. As she worked behind the counter, she saw a very hopeful Theseus walk in. She wanted to hug him, but then she remembered what he had done to her. She kept her head down low and listened to him list his baking qualities. She said she might be able to give him a job. There was an unmistakable hint of a smile in his voice. She finally looked up and met his eyes. His face drained of color as he recognized her. She shook her head at him and said never mind. Without another word, he left, confused. Rumor has it, he never played a girl’s heart again. By JannetJassi

Pandora is Forgiven I rushed around in a panic. I didn’t know what was going out of the box .If the gods and the people found out I released everything bad into the world it would ruin me! I think if I just ignore it , nobody will know it’s me and this will all be blown over by tomorrow. As I awoke this morning I saw Zeus standing above me, he knew what I did and he was going to announce to everyone this morning! I was taken to Mt. Olympus where Zeus spoke and after, I returned home because I had nobody and nothing else. Everyone was so angry and upset. This can’t be I must have been setup . I thought to myself. I was going to figure out what happened and I knew just the person, Zeus’s brother Posideon. I begged Posideon to help me and we finally worked it out, I would give him my first child so he could make them into a prince or princess of the sea. Posideon told me how Zeus set me up and made me curious so I would open the box. And the humans would be punished for taking fire. I had recorded everything Posideon had said and played it to the world. My life was back and all was forgiven. By: Madison Wike Do you know your Mythology?

want him, I’ll just have to take him. She then shot Lecif with one of her arrows of love. He automatically fell in-love with her. But as time went by, the love Lecif had for Aphrodite wasn’t love anymore. It became an obsession. “I will warn you, “ Athena told Aphrodite “being loved my Lecif isn’t that great, it can be very dangerous, he becomes obsessed, and will NOT leave you alone.” But Aphrodite, ignored Athena. She was in-love with the way Lecif loved her. But weeks later, she realized Athena was right. Lecif NEVER wanted to leave her side, he was addicted to her. Aphrodite tried to do WHATEVER she could, to get him away. “You were right Athena!” Aphrodite said “He’s obsessed!” Feeling bad for Aphrodite, Athena told Zeus. Zeus also feeling bad for Aphrodite, he decided to get the God of the Underworld, Hades. Hades immediately came up from the underworld, and took Lecif with him. Lecif was gone for good. Aphrodite never had to see him ever again. “WOW,” Aphrodite thought, “You really should be careful what you wish for.” BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, APHRODITE. Have you ever been so in-love with someone, but wondered why they didn’t love you back? Well, let’s ask Aphrodite. One fine evening, this beautiful lady named Aphrodite was born. She was so beautiful, if any man saw her, he’d automatically fall in-love with her. So Zeus, decided to name her the Goddess of Love & Beauty. Aphrodite was used to making people fall in love, since that was her job anyways. She could made people fall in love with her if SHE wanted them too. Till the day came that Aphrodite herself, fell in-love. She absolutely fell in-love with someone named Lecif. He was the God of Hope & Courage. Something about him made Aphrodite's heart beat run a mile, and stomach flutter. But there was one problem, Lecif was in-love with the Goddess Athena. “Why?” Aphrodite thought , “What does she have that I don’t?! “But Athena didn’t love Lecif back. Every time Lecif would get near Athena She’d try to get away. “Why don’t you wanna be with him?” thought Aphrodite “ JUST OOK AT HIM! ; Fine..” Aphrodite thought, “If Athena doesn’t

He severed its head, but then grew two more! He continued to cut its heads(not realizing that he was doing more harm than good). Finally, he was very tired and worn out and was facing a 999 headed hydra who could barely hold the. Find Your Way Out Of The Labrinth! Start
