The Greeks Deities are Still Alive and Well

What would you say if I told you that not only were the Greek Gods and Goddesses actual beings but that they were still alive and well today. You'd probably call me a crazy woman. Though that may be true, I'm thrilled to pass along the message that what I say is true. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you In The Pantheon.

A little over a year ago, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting some of the best writers I've ever been associated with. I noticed a "writers wanted" post on Twitter. They were looking for writers who would like to write in the voice of a Greek god or goddess. And being someone who's loved ancient mythologies her entire life, how could I pass this opportunity up? I applied and was happily accepted. 

They asked me which deity I wanted to write, but the one I really wanted was already filled. I was hoping to write as Hecate but ended up writing as the goddess Demeter. I grabbed the job by the horns and gave the Goddess of the Harvest my own personal country girl vibe. I loved every minute of it, but was unfortunately unable to fulfill my obligation and had to back out. 

However, just because I don't write for this amazing site anymore, I still believe this is one of the coolest writing sites online today. It's like a soap opera for the digital age.

Here you'll find all of the regulars. Zeus, Hera, and all the names you'll recognize from your childhood. You'll also find a few names you might not remember and a couple you've never heard of at all. But don't think this is a site where you're kids can go learn about the ancient gods. No, this isn't your textbook ancient history site. 

This is the story of the gods, goddesses, titans, and muses as they would live in the modern world. It's all the same in-fighting from before, but with a more modern idea of sex and intrigue. Each deity is voiced by a single writer. These men and women have created something wonderful within this site. 

Since I left, the great people behind the site have created even more than I could have ever dreamed. They now have a YouTube page, an online store and are in the process of launching their own publishing company, Rewritten Realms, with their first anthology titled "Immortal Fears". I can't wait until this book comes out. I'm excited. 

If you love the Greeks myths, you've got to check out InThePantheon.com. You'll never look at the gods the same way again.
