Author’s note:

For the record, I am a big fan of the Percy Jackson series (and the books which came after in the same universe too) and I am properly awed by the world-building Rick Riordan did.

Yet (because there is a yet) during all books, I think it is fair to say that while the heroes answer the call, the Greek-Roman Pantheon is entirely bungling the whole war effort, whether the enemy is Titans, Elder Giants, or megalomaniac Roman Emperors. Unprepared, reacting poorly and in the wrong order, the good decisions are often taken months too late and as the circumstances have changed so much they are in many ways irrelevant. And it has to be said, between Zeus, Dionysus and the other Olympians, the Demigods have a lot of reasons to hate the Gods’ guts.

I mean, you can count the number of times your divine parent visit you on your two hands, and in exchange you get an extraordinary dangerous life, filled with monsters a potentially horrible death, when said demise doesn’t happen because a God decides to change you into a dolphin or incinerates you on the spot.

Let’s be realistic for a single minute: the Gods are not the good side against the Titans and the other side, they are just the lesser evil, and that’s because the ‘other side’ is very evil. Fortunately for Olympus, they got Percy Jackson, a Demigod whose fatal flaw is Loyalty. Why fortunately? Because when most deities discuss calmly to kill you after you saved the day several times, in general one’s loyalty should slightly waver.

So I asked myself the question: what if the Gods truly got the Champion/Hero they deserved by their blunders and fits of jealousy and unbridled destruction?

Of course, the more I thought about it, the more I realised the Greek-Roman Gods and Goddesses didn’t really deserve a Hero given the kind of stunts they regularly made. They deserved a villain.

Enter Kairos Theodosian, Tyrant of Helike, one of the ‘classical villainy’ guys of the A Practical Guide to Evil series.

Some research later and a truly entirely different plot from canon, and I decided to give it a try for a week. And so begin the wild ride of An Impractical Guide to Godhood...
