After
being scattered on the winds of time for 2500 years, the
Goddesses and Gods of Classical Greece reunite for the 2004 Summer
Olympic Games in Athens. However, the once-almighty Immortals find
themselves in a reality vastly different from the one they remember,
and radically different from the one we know. Zeus no longer holds
dominion over the wide heavens, and Hera and Athena have reclaimed
their stature as equal partners, changes brought about by the transformation
of human consciousness which occurred at the turn of the Millennium.
In this new reality, gender equality, social justice and sustainability
are cultural norms, and human society has matured into the first
global democracy on Planet Earth.

Yet, it
is all at risk. The Immortals, together with the mortal heroes,
Greek-American decathlete Herakles Speros and Caribbean sprinter
Alanta January, must unite to stop Ares, the God of War, whose terrorist
henchmen would use the power of the atom to destroy the peace. As
the athletes prepare for their Olympic competitions, and Eros ignites
their hearts with love, they are fatefully swept into the mythic
drama. From the depths of Hades to the summit of Mount Olympos,
they must successfully navigate the realm of dreams and visions
if they are to fulfill their destiny of saving the Games. |
