    Summary

    It is a time of great myth-makers.

    The Argo sails. Heracles performs his labours. Helen’s beauty draws suitors from all over. An oversight with the guest list at an important wedding causes a quarrel among the gods.

    Meanwhile, in a small farming village, a young woman prays to Ares with a dream of leading an army of women to found their own kingdom.

    A prequel set in my continuity of Hades-inspired Ares-centric fics (now heavily riffing on the Iliad and other mythology), this explores Ares’ relationship with Otrera, founder of the Amazons, as well as the Trojan War and its aftermath.

    If you haven’t read any of the other entries in this series, note the relationship tags: I place Ares in a long-established romantic relationship with Thanatos, as well as with (of course) Aphrodite.
