Monstermachy

History is written by the victors. A long time ago, the most powerful gods of Greece, the Olympians, took power by overthrowing the Titans. To take revenge, Gaia, the personification of Earth, created a superhuman being like no other : Typhon ! He was close to defeating Zeus, before being defeated by a traitorous blow and being imprisoned in Mount Etna. However, the powerful creature had previously united with Echidna, having many powerful children with her. Echidna managed to reunite all their offspring, even those everyone thought were dead, and released her husband from his prison. Shocked to discover that the Olympians made them look like monsters to mortals, Typhon prepared his family and allies to seek justice against the Olympians and those who supported them. In the midst of this terrible war, even by the standards of Greek Mythology, a young mortal risks to change History, although her own may be distorted with the passage of time. Her name : Pandora.
