Mythos: The Time After Oblivion

by Jonny Capps

What becomes of a god that no one remembers? If no one worships them any longer, can they really be considered a god? Catch up with heroes, such as Jason and Hercules, as well as gods like Zeus, Hera, Apollo, and others as they attempt to reassert themselves in a world that no longer remembers them.

About the author

Hey guys, I'm Jonny Capps. I write about stuff that never happened but totally might someday, and other stuff that will probably never happen, but should. My first book, Mythos: The Time after Oblivion, is an expansion of Greek and Roman mythology, with the Olympians reemerging in the 21st Century. I would love for people to start referring to its sub-genre as Ambrosiapunk, but so far, I'm the only one who does.

Within the first dozen pages of this book, I was hooked. This truly is one of the most fascinating and mysterious books I have ever read with a story line that is completely original. Reading about the Olympians in present day is not a story that is often told and certainly not from this unique perspective. I found myself wondering what exactly happened in the last two thousand years and am eager to be able to fill in the gaps with the rest of the series. I absolutely loved reading some of the back stories, especially with Ares and Hephaestus, it truly unlocked a part of my cherished childhood imagination that I had forgotten about. My only wish is that it was longer because it left me with so many unanswered questions, but I suppose that is to be expected from any series worth reading. I greatly anticipate reading the next one in the series as Hercules and Jason travel to the underworld, but am enjoying what was sparked in my imagination in the mean time.

Ps: Eros and his baby powder, lol, so epic! But you won't know unless you check it out for yourself...

Loved the concept. The banter between the gods is really cool. I couldnt get over the massive amount of exposition however. Dont know if it is because the author was scared a non-mythology nerd would have a hard time following or just because that's how he writes but there was just so, so much telling, I couldnt cope.
Felt like a great idea not very well executed.
