This is a universe where Olympus exists in the modern world. The gods are still here, and they behave exactly as they always have, while everything else has moved on. Cities rise. Phones ring. Traffic backs up. And somewhere in the middle of it, Zeus makes a decision, Death stops working, or a man starts pushing a boulder uphill again. The stories didn’t end. They’re still happening.
A woman takes her infant son to a river. She wades into cold, moving water. What she does takes seconds. The protection it gives him will last a lifetime.
