Overview

The gods of Olympus did not vanish. They measured. The Measures of the Olympians is a contemporary mythic cycle written in an elevated, epic register-new songs in an old mode. In these pages, the deathless gods move quietly through the modern age: tempering lightning into mortal use, weighing the costs of toil-easing gifts, guiding mortal hands toward flight, and setting limits upon fire, counsel, and craft. These are not retellings of ancient myths. They are new sacred-style myths-mythopoetic, theological, and ethically weighted-imagining how the Olympians might stand behind electricity, industry, medicine, firearms, reckoning engines, and the perilous ascent of lesser chariots toward the high road of Helios. This book offers no doctrine and binds no belief. It is devotional imagination offered with restraint-""some say...""-for readers who love Greek mythology, epic cadence, and high myth theology. What if the gods never left? What if we simply stopped recognizing their measures?
