As far as I know, the gods did not create any life.

Did the gods and titans just rule what was already there or did they create anything?

Hmm. I ask because I'm writing a short story where the entire world worships Zeus, the one true God, who locked all the other gods inside of Jupiter and there is a flying tea cup in the ring of Jupiter so that Zeus can monitor all of their movements (I'm sure SC knows that reference).

So anyway, I wanted to begin to story inside a church where they talk about the creation with a few embellishments. Do you know of a reliable link? I would just start clicking but this dial up @ home makes those sort of searches kinda null.

I assume the link would translate to 'Greek Mythology' but the English Wikipedia is bogged down with unnecessary information and somehow I found myself to what I needed.

Thanks though. Wiki can actually be a quick fix LOL. I'm going to see if I can find something beyond the brief synopsis later.

Also, in this story black people are the dominant race and they now call white people "*******." I purposely do a lot of contrasts with stuff like having mostly white athletes and mostly black crowd, violent music culture that white people imitate, etc. It's trying to make the reader question things they simply accept everyday by making either the reverse happen in the story or something that occur that seems to be completely paradoxical to today's belief systems.

The main character is a teenager and most of his questions are simply met with a "you understand it incorrectly" or something of that manner. In the end, he loses his will to question anymore and simply goes with the flow.
