THE BOOK OF
GREEKS
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE FIRST BOOK OF GREEKS
Greeks have lots of Gods and thingsUnderworld comings and goings
Chapter 6
For example, there were myths about Gods who fell in love with female Greeks and had children called demi-Gods,
2Which means half-Gods,
3wAnd which shows just how Chosen the Greeks must have been.
4There was a demi-God called xHercules,
5Who was very strong and had to do twelve labors,
6yFor some reason.
7There was a demi-God called zTheseus,
8Who was very smart and had to do some labors of his own,
9Including finding his way through the amaze with a ball of string,
10So that he could bkill the Minotaur,
11Which was killing a lot of Greek virgins at the time,
12cFor some reason.
13dTheseus also had to visit the Underworld,
14Which is where Greeks went after they died,
15eRowing across the River fStyx in a boat with gSharon,
16hAnd the River Lethe, which made them forget everything,
17To the iElysian Fields,
18Or to other, jnastier places where they could be punished for having disobeyed the Gods,
19kWho were pretty adamant about such things.
20Anyway,
21Theseus had to rescue lHercules,
22mWho had gotten himself into the Underworld somehow and couldn’t get out,
23Since brains don’t always come with brawn,
24nAnd Theseus, who was pretty good at getting in and out of various places, got Hercules out.
25And the Greeks believed this was a pretty exciting myth.
26In fact, the Greeks believed a lot of things.
