Chapter 1 – In the Beginning, There Was Olympus

--- Chapter 1 – In the Beginning, There Was Olympus The Gospel According to Zeus > In the beginning, they say there was Chaos. But I tell you, before Chaos was heard, there was thunder. Before earth took her shape, before the sea drew her breath, lightning split the void, and my voice named the sky. They speak of Gaia, mother of mountains, and Nyx, who cloaked the world in shadow. Fables. Half-truths from trembling poets. I am the Father of the firmament, the hand that carved the stars into their burning courses. I raised the sun as my torch, I sowed the moon as my coin in the night, and the storm became the blood of creation. Let none forget — the first word was not “light.” It was thunder. Yet mortals, in their feeble remembering, gave credit to whispers older than me. So I took their tales, broke them, reforged them, and when the scribes wrote “Genesis,” they wrote my name in secret ink. The rivers that ran from Chaos? Mine. The earth that groaned beneath Gaia? Mine. The night that Nyx claimed as her veil? Mine. For I am Olympus entire — and Olympus is the beginning. Remember this. creation is not born. Creation is taken, rewritten by the one who wields the storm.
