Stuares (U432)

Staures was a vase merchant who lived in Ardenos. He was chubby and greedy, and refused Hercules' help when the infamously clumsy teenager innocently offered it during his visit to the market town. He was also known for being a gluttonous lover of food.

## History

### Destruction of Ardenos

Ironically, Staures was moving shop on the day that the market town was destroyed. He had just sold his venue to a local bigger group from Corinth. When Hercules offered him help, he refused, hoping to protect his assets. He refused in a very rude and awkward way, panicking. Even though he was struggling to move his things, he insisted that Hercules leave him alone as he knew the boy and his reputation for clumsiness.

Hercules left, but when the plaza collapsed somehow his shop was the only section spared as it was the place where the two sets of domino falling pillars collapsed into each other. It was actually Hercules slipping on olive oil and sliding towards Stuares which destroyed his wares.

Thankfully no one was hurt, but it was Staures loosing a vase from off his head that first voiced the entire market's concerns. He erupted at Amphitryon, and told him to get the "freak" out of there. This was resulted in Amphitryon being excommunicated from many social circles, and it hurt the family's reputation.
Greek Pantheon (U432)

### Plan with Hades

When Hades arrived, they were finishing cutting the thread of Vernida, a woman who died from a horse riding injury, becoming the 500,000,001th "served" on the sign. Hades apologized for being late, while the Fates knew that he would be. Hades explained that he lost track of time at the baby shower, and he asked if Hercules would threaten his "hostile takeover bid", placing a pawn on his mapped out stone table. Past remarked that they are not allowed to show the future, but Hades then schmoozed with Present by cleaning and returning her eye.

Using their eye to illustrate the idea, Present showed that in 18 years the six closest planets would align, and that with the Titans, Hades would acquire Olympus. But Future warned that if Hercules should fight, that Hades will fail. They then all absorbed themselves into the eye and disappeared, leaving Hades alone with this thoughts for a moment. Hades erupted, and then brought Pain and Panic to the room where he kept the elixir.

Olympus (U432)

Olympus is an abode in the clouds above Mount Olympus. With great climate all-year-round, it was a veritable paradise. It was surrounded by a gate of clouds, which was in turn guarded by the God of the Seasons. Through these gates the Olympian gods would descend to earth to occasionally intervene in human affairs.

Entrance to the abode is sealed by a fleet of marble steps in the clouds leading to majestic iron gate embedded with the universal seal of the Pantheon, and sided by three columns on each side. The gate ensures that those who are not Pantheons are unable to enter Olympus, and those who are allowed entry are able to walk through it as if it were smoke.

## Layout

Olympus is constructed out of an arrangement of clouds merged together, which mortals would fall through if stepped upon. The cloud island is surrounded by several smaller clouds, including some of which in the shape of thunderbolts. Waterfalls of fog and mist roll over the edges of the lofty isle. The clouds of the city itself are in the shape of waves, and some special landmarks are in the shape of a horse and another as a sphynx. Every god who lived on Mount Olympus had their own palace made of gold, precious jewels, and stones. There are a number of peaks on the mountain and naturally Zeus’ palace was on the highest peak. All twelve Olympians lived on Olympus.

## Cloud Architecture

All the constructions on Olympus were made to look like another material but were actually made out of clouds. Anything which is destroyed instantly repairs itself.
Alcmene (U432)

Malsaurus Florentinus

## Creation

The Orpheotaurus was a rare beast with only one known surviving member left in the wild, and it was known that its burned remains would yield a substance that could prove fatal to the Pantheon. Zeus had sent eagles to retrieve the last Orphoetuaurs and he had given it to Hades for safekeeping, but ignorant of Hades' malice, his brother used the Orpheotaurus to create the Malsaurus Florentinus.

## Usage

For the potion to be effective, its entire contents would have to be consumed relative to the body mass of the individual in question. Consideirng that it required an infant Hercules to consume an entire vial, Hades would be unable to coerce or deceive any Pantheon into consuming the vial long enough to diminish their powers. Especially considering that they would feel their powers draining immediately, they would be driven to drop the liquid immediately. Even if Hades could force the Pantheon, there would not have been enough in the cauldron for all of Olympus as the liquid cannot be replicated.

### Narcissus and the Pool of Water

Nemesis, the goddess of retribution and revenge, learned what had happened and decided to punish Narcissus for his behaviour. She led him to a pool; there, the man saw his reflection in the water and fell in love with it. Although he did not realise in the beginning that it was just a reflection, when he understood it, he became all the more determined to seal that love. He had Hephaestus craft for him a mirror so that he could gaze at himself at all times, and having entered the Pantheon worked to build a room of mirrors.

The two fell down the stairs and Panic accidentally stabbed Pain a second time. Hades just sighed at the two. They saluted and reported for duty, and Hades sighed noting for them to let him know when the Fates arrived. He told them they were already there. Hades erupted, and to show their apologetic they shapeshifted into worms and made supplication. He made a joke to "maim" them after his meeting, but they couldn't tell if it was a joke or not.

## Work with Hades

## History

### Cyclops Raid

Mr. Parenthesis drew a picture of the Cyclops during the raid so that they could prove to Echidna that Adonis was royalty.

### Internship Week

In June, at the end of Hercules' first year at Prometheus Academy, the Prometheus Academy partnered with the Athens Mall (Agora Arcade) for its "internship week" where students spent five days in the real world learning to work. It was also a week off for the teachers. Mr. Parenthesis explained the rules of the event by the mall's central fountain, and Hercules was excited. Icarus often wondered what it was like in the real world, but Cassandra had a cynical view that Parenthesis would give the "in-crowd" all the good jobs while the unpopular or unwealthy students would be given drudgerous jobs as usual.

Adonis was given a easy job at Panasonicles, a theater for children, mostly with hand puppets. Adonis thought this fitting, as he "is royalty" and the shop was founded by royals. He was carried off by his bodyguards to the shop.

Cassandra "the little ray of sunshine" was staffed at the information booth, and surprisingly she didn't hate it. She was pleased. Icarus was assigned to Aphrodite's Secret, which he also seemed to like and the women appeared to be amused by Icarus' eccentric personality. Hercules thought he was assigned to Hero World and excitedly threw Mr. Parenthesis into the air, but was disappointed to find out that he was assigned to Gyro World.
Stephanopolos (U432)

Stephanopolos was the adviser to King Slamoneus of Thessaly.

He was fond of reading.

## History

On one of Salmenous' usual gluttonous days, Stephanopolos came to him with some sound advice. The King spat out some rotten apple cores at his advisor and asked what he had to say. The advisor informed Stephanopolos that Thessaly had been run into the ground, that its capital income had run down to zero, crop production was steady at zero, and even his approval rating was zero. Salmoneus encouraged his advisor that he had a plan to dodge the grim conditions.

### Deceptive Parade

Ten days later, a "Zeus-a-Polooza" was held and Stephanopolos announced it atop a pillar with a wooden horn microphone.
Hephaestus (U432)

Hephaestus is the god of blacksmiths and fire. Called “the celestial artificer,” he was also associated with other craftsmen (sculptors, carpenters, metalworkers) and, as evident in the name of his Roman counterpart Vulcan, with volcanoes. Even though an ugly god lamed by his own mother, he was the husband of none other than Aphrodite herself.

## History

### Birth

Hephaestus was the son of Zeus and Hera. However, he is unclear whether he was born lame or whether he was lamed after his father threw him from Olympus for intervening on behalf of his mother during a quarrel between Zeus and Hera.

### Hephaestus' Quarrel Against Hera

Later on, Hephaestus got his revenge. He made a golden throne, so beautiful that Hera accepted it right away. However, the minute she sat on it, she was all tied up by the numerous delicately fashioned cords invisible to anyone’s eyes but their creator’s. Many gods tried to persuade Hephaestus to free Hera, promising him a place on Olympus in return. However, he was unremorseful and released his mother only when Dionysus got him drunk.

### Hercules' Baby Shower

At Hercules' Baby Shower, Hephaestus was seen justifiably speaking with his wife, much to the anger of Ares.

### Vote of no-Confidence

Hephaestus regretfully voted for Hades during the vote of no-confidence when Hercules lost the sun.

## Skills and Abilities

No one but him was able to build the beautiful, indestructible bronze mansions where all the other Olympians lived. Crafty and cunning, he added a distinctive element here and there, such as the secure doors of Hera’s chamber which no other god but her could open.

In the “Iliad,” Homer tells us something even more fascinating. Namely, that Hephaestus had fashioned for himself handmaidens of gold, who were able to understand him, speak to him and assist him. And they weren’t the only creations of this kind. Among other automata, Hephaestus sculpted golden dogs to guard the palace of Alcinous and Talos, a giant bronze man to protect Crete.

Finally, Hephaestus was the creator of some of the most stunning pieces of military equipment ever seen. Most famously, as a favor to Thetis, he created the shield of Achilles, whose five bronze layers he masterfully engraved with scenes representing almost all aspects of life. But he was also the one who made the scepter of Agamemnon, the breast-plate of Diomedes, and the sword of Peleus.

Hephaestus was known to sometimes spend time on Earth, building things. (U432)

The mall was unlike modern malls, and was largely outdoors with a courtyard serving as a portal towards several shop entrances. Signs would read "sale!" and crowds would gather and chatter in the terrace.

Some pillars in the terrace were made with stacks of barrels, and there were a couple of dressing rooms.

## Popularity

The mall was seen as a family friendly venue. On September 16th, 351 BC, a family with a man wearing a shirt labelled "Greece's Best Dad" went to the mall in their chariot.

Having their respite from academic warfare, they went to the cafeteria and Hercules milked the school goat too strongly, drenching **Ajax** in milk. Icarus helped Hercules avoid Ajax's possible flare up. Icarus told him to try to stop "acting like the new guy".

Adonis later tossed Icarus his cup from the upper balcony, expecting him to give him a refill. Hercules snatched it and brought it to Adonis empty, angering the entitled student. Adonis ordered his two bodyguards to humiliate Hercules, and they kicked him off the balcony. Hercules fell onto Ajax's table, who accidentally bit into his foot as he laid upside down.

The tyrannical leader Salmoneus ruled Greece from 358-350BC, he was known for its gluttonous lifestyle and associated rotund physique. His throneroom was often decadently filled with scrap bones, half-eaten fruit and more. Banquets and fountains would be set just for himself, pork roasts and fruit bowls presented for sole use. Behind his throne was a planted palm tree, and servants often served him various things.

Before coming the King of Thessaly, he was a traveler who often sailed by ship in the Caspian Sea.

## History

### Disapproval

On one of his usual gluttonous days, his advisor Stephanopolos came to him with some sound advice. The King spat out some rotten apple cores at his advisor and asked what he had to say. The advisor informed Stephanopolos that Thessaly had been run into the ground, that its capital income had run down to zero, crop production was steady at zero, and even his approval rating was zero. Salmoneus encouraged his advisor that he had a plan to dodge the grim conditions.

### Deceptive Parade

Ten days later, a "Zeus-a-Polooza" was held and Stephanopolos announced it atop a pillar with a wooden horn microphone. Hercules being on his summer break was present. The event was effectively made a consumerist attraction to boost Salmoneus' approval rating. Even T-Shirts were sold and metallic lightning shaped hats were sold. Despite its obvious charade-like nature, it had a moderate gathering in the stands and merchants had successfully set up multiple stalls.

While in the stands, Cassandra had a vision of the entire kingdom of Thessaly being destroyed, abolished and wiped out. Her vision was overshadowed by the cheering crowds. A giant tent opened and two horses pulled out a parade stand with Salmoneous standing on top in a Zeus costume. There were also some live sheep decorating the cloud design on the pillar. Unfortunately, some were deceptively fooled by the trick and Salmoneous told them that they would be smitten if they didn't honor Salmoneus, and pointed at the statue of himself across the presentation area. Not even being able to hold back his appetite, he had a snack on the pedestal and dropped some bits to the sheep. Many of the deceived in the crowds pledged their blind obedience to Salmoneus.

## Notes

Not to be confused with the mythological king of Elis.

No assassination attempts.
Student ID (U432)

Most schools in ancient Greece had an antiquital form of ID chiseled on a small slab of stone. Athletes would sometimes get their own unique form of ID. An ID would last the school year, and typically had a carving of the student's face, the school's name, and an expiry date. They were typically carved on the first day, and those skilled at making them could do so in a few minutes.

At Prometheus Academy, a ten drachma fee would be charged if an ID was lost or stolen.

The **Titarisios** (Greek: Τιταρήσιος, formerly Ξεριάς - *Xerias*) is a river in Thessaly, Greece. It is a major tributary of the Pineios. The river begins at the western slopes of Mount Olympus and flows southwest, then south. It leaves the mountains near the village Dion (U432), and turns east near the village Vlachogianni. It passes along the town Tyrnavos and flows into the Pineios near the village Rodia. The confluence is at 65 m above sea level. Its total length is 70 km, and for most of its length it contains water throughout the year.

The vegetation along the river is characterised by reeds and by wetland forest with trees like plane trees, willows and poplars. The river is currently primarily used for irrigation.

Around 3 km from Argyroupoli is Lake Mati Tyrnavou.

* wet meadow vegetation, e.g. (horse mint) and various species of (clover)
* garrigue vegetation, represented by various species of (spurge)

## Fauna

Specific studies of the fish in the Titarisios river have not been done, but 37 species of fish have been reported, and another 11 species are presumed present. Due to its connection to sea via the Pineios, the Titarisios also contains migratory fish like the European sea sturgeon and twait shad. Also the stone loach and the golden loach have been found.

The *Plusidia cheiranthi* moth can also be found along the river, laying its eggs in the winter month where its larvae feed on the abundant leaves and reeds that grow on the river's banks.
Seal of the Pantheon (U432)

The Seal of the Pantheon was a lightning bolt which originally represented Zeus but later evolved to represent the entire Pantheon. Sometimes, the seal was given to extremely talented heroes.

The seal had special qualities, and it was believed that certain rhymes could invoke the assistance of the Pantheon, (as if those degenerates were actually helpful). The seal was never given to children unless they were born of Pantheon parentage. It did not give its user strength or invincibility.
Mount Olympus (U432)

**Mount Olympus** is the highest mountain in Greece. It is part of the Olympus massif near the Thermaic Gulf of the Aegean Sea, located in the Olympus Range on the border between Thessaly and Macedonia. The highest peak, Mytikas (Μύτικας *Mýtikas*), meaning "nose", rises to 2,917 metres (9,570 ft).

It is the highest peak in Europe(U432), and is the seat of the Greek Pantheon. The mountain is often cloaked by clouds, which are believed to be a screen created by the Pantheon to hide themselves from humans’ prying eyes. Time passes differently on Mount Olympus, and the measurements of time on the mountain are attributed to a loyal dog who watches the affairs of men and pulls their deeds on a sleigh.

While the Pantheon dwelled on Mount Olympus for a short time, they quickly travelled to an abode in the clouds above the actual mountain.

## Geography

The river Titarisios flows from Mount Olympus, and on its banks is the town of Dion (U432).

## History

When Zeus defeated the Titans, the Olympians celebrated their victory by building Mount Olympus. The construction took a relatively short period of time, only 190 years. While the Pantheon dwelled on Mount Olympus for a short time, they quickly travelled to an abode in the clouds above the actual mountain.

## Culture

At Olympus, the Pantheon feasted on ambrosia and drank nectar, and reveled to the tunes of Apollo’s lyre; of course, from time to time, they also quarreled between themselves, mostly over the fortunes of mortal beings. The Muses describe life on Mountain Olympus as "neat and smooth as sweet vermouth". The vermouth being a reference to the drunkardness exhibited by Olympus' degenerate tare denizens. Ambrosia was important as it helped keep them immortal. When they were at home they would often view the fate of humans. Many of the gods had favourite heroes and humans whom they tried to support.

### Hercules

The school uniquely announced its acceptance of Hercules in the newspaper The Greekly, as a bid for press.
Cloudweaving (U432)

Zeus was the only pantheon able to cloudweave, and it was through this ability that he constructed most of Olympus. The advantages to cloudweaving were that it required no raw materials and that anything made from clouds would instantly regenerate itself. This made Olympus in a way, impenetrable. Cloudweaving required a degree of skill, and different combinations of different kinds of clouds would yield different results. Cloudweaving was seen as a resource light way to build and was therefore preferred, as it required no interaction with the grounded world.
Temple of Zeus (U432)

The **Temple of Zeus at Olympia** was an ancient Greek temple in Olympia, Greece, dedicated to the god Zeus.

Borthos (U432)

Borthos was a cyclops that lived in the Realm of Monsters. They were ordering fast food like Speedy Pita so that they could trap the deliverers, which angered Enchidna who they were close to. They were absolutely savage and unintelligent.

## History

The Cyclops **Borthos** were ordering fast food like Speedy Pita so that they could trap the deliverers. They were about to eat their next victim before Enchidna arose to stop them. She scolded them, reminding them that "you are what you eat" and that they should eat heroes like their siblings, at minimum. Before being scolded by their mother, they ate a Mousakka delivery guy once.

Hercules arrived looking for a monster to defeat to improve his reputation. The cyclops Borthos smashed down a tree in front of him and he introduced themselves. They were uninterested, saying they're on a diet and will only eat heroes. Hercules said he was a hero in training, and they considered that good enough. They tried to eat him but their teeth weren't strong enough, they checked his feet for an expiry date. They considered him stale and a nobody. To try to show his worth, Hercules showed his Student ID and then hurled a tree at them which they easily dodged. Looking at the ID, the cyclops got an idea to attack the school and find food there.

The next day at school, Hercules ran around panicking. He found Cassandra and asked him if anything happened. She joked telling him that Rome fell, but then assured it won't happen for centuries. Icarus then nonchalantly added that a cyclops was rampaging in the school. Icarus joked that some thought it might be a new student.

The cyclops was rampaging in the cafeteria, telling anyone who was royalty or heroic to line up to be eaten. Hercules confronted them. Adonis sent his guards but they were swept away easily. Ardonis feigned a heroic attitude, and admitted that he's a prince. The cyclops immediately grabbed him. Stalling them, Hercules mentioned that they wouldn't be able to prove to Echidna that he was a prince. So, they got Mr. Parenthesis to draw a picture of them holding him. While they were distracted, Hercules fought them, throwing them, tripping them, and then punching them through the roof. The roof collapsed.

Icarus lamented that he was going to be the best man at he and Cassandra's wedding. Cassandra felt the cusp of emotion she was feeling fade from disgust after that comment. Hercules came out of the rubble fine. Meanwhile, Adonis was bragging that he defeated the cyclops and whispered to them to "play along and I'll make it worth your while". Hercules accepted that the school won't realize it was him who defeated the cyclops, and Cassandra noted that he was maturing.
Harpies (U432)

Harpies were demonic birds from the underworld that could breathe fire which was hotter than the sun, as seen when they burned the chains on Apollos chariot which held a sun-like orb. The chains wouldn't melt from the orb, but they did from the harpies. They were often used for assassinations.

Pain and Panic always enjoyed it when they got to ride the harpies.
Dionysus (U432)

Dionysus was the god of fertility and wine, later considered a patron of the arts. He created wine and spread the art of viticulture. He had a dual nature; on one hand, he brought joy and divine ecstasy; or he would bring brutal and blinding rage, thus reflecting the dual nature of wine. Dionysus and his followers could not be bound by fetters.

## History

### Birth

Dionysus was the son of Zeus and Semele, and he was the only god with a mortal parent.

### Raising by Nymphs

Hera, still jealous of Zeus' infidelity and the fact that Dionysus was alive, arranged for the Titans to kill him. The Titans ripped him to pieces; however, Rhea brought him back to life. After this, Zeus arranged for his protection and gave him to the mountain nymphs to be raised.

### Hercules' Baby Shower

Dionysus stayed away from the main part of the crowd during the party, and sipped on wine with other guests. When Hercules bit on the lightning quiver and threw it away, he was the first to notice as he was doing nothing except sipping wine. Also, likely because he was always cautious anyways. He quickly jumped out of the way.

Hades made an entrance late at the baby shower, calling it sentimental. Hades had not seen anyone else in the pantheon for quite some time, and tried to lighten the mood with some jokes that all fell flat. He patted Dionysus' cheeks and asked him how he's doing, which upset him. He also made a comment to Aphrodite about her dress which seemed to annoy her as well. Zeus, oblivious to the undertones of what was going on, asked him how it was in the Underworld. Hades complained that it was dark and gloomy as always.

## Appearance and Personality

### Appearance

Dionysus was rotund and jolly, often in a toga and holding a glass of wine.

### Personality

Dionysus was hospitable and would frequently guest others in his home. Being a cautious fellow, he always locked his doors and made sure everything was in tight security. This cautiousness was tied to his insecurity.

They agreed that each would give the Athenians one gift and the Athenians would choose whichever gift they preferred. Poseidon struck the ground with his trident and a spring sprang up; the water was salty and not very useful, whereas Athena offered them an olive tree.

### Trojan War
