In the Early days of Thera, the people revered the gods. Thera was an island, that was home to a volcano of the same name. For years, Terrantheus watched from the core of the planet, as the people of Thera settled the island.

They were kind to the planet, being simple fishermen and farmers. Enjoying a simple sustenance, Terrantheus let them continue their lives. Content with their choices, he turned his watchful eye for a number of years. He spent his time watching the other nearby civilizations, considering all who dwelled on the Earth fruits of his domain.

In the years before the fall of Greece, the population was rapidly declining, so the gods met on Mt. Olympus to try and work towards a solution. While on Mt.

They believed this void was made up of the four elements: earth, fire, water and air. The primordial god Khaos who was the first entity to emerge out of creation. The second deity was Eris, the goddess of chaos also known as the goddess of discord and strife. She is famously known as starting the

It is said that once upon a time, long, long, ago, space was split into two and there were two gods that ruled it. Nobius, god of the Qylodite Tribe and Oreus, god of the Iodite Tribe. Both were extremely dear friends and always consulted with each other about their worlds. But one day, one grew spiteful, envious, and avaricious of the other. That’s when catastrophe struck the universe and refined the appearance of the universe forever and ever.

One thing was clear after looking up past expeditions of Mount Olympus, and that was that it is a great Mountain to climb. One climber even called Mount Olympus the “Mountain of the God’s indeed” (Grotter, 2015 ). Although he didn’t write very much about the hike, he took many pictures along the way to tell his story. It looks as though Mount Olympus is a truly mesmerizing climb, no matter who you ask. It appears to be a very highly regarded mountain and seems to have sights that could interest and be new to any climber, old or young. It also looks as though the sights never stop getting better, and grow in beauty no matter how many pictures the blog or website has to offer and the person who posted the pictures has nothing but good things to say.
