Ancient Greece
“Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world. [Archimedes]…
Welcome to this RPG forum based mainly in the period of Greek history lasting from the Greek Dark Ages ca. 1100 BC and the Dorian invasion, to 146 BC and the Roman conquest of Greece after the battle of Corinth. It is generally considered to be the seminal culture which provided the foundation of Western civilization. Greek culture had a powerful influence on the Roman Empire, which carried a version of it to many parts of Europe. The civilization of the ancient Greeks has been immensely influential on the language, politics, educational systems, philosophy, science, and arts, giving rise to the Renaissance in Western Europe and again resurgent during various neo-Classical revivals in 18th and 19th century Europe and the Americas. The time for the Greek Myths to come alive!”
“Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there; they cause change. They motivate and inspire others to go in the right direction and they, along with everyone else, sacrifice to get there.” ~ John Kotter.

Mount Olympus (1 sub-board) Once upon a time, back in the mists of time, the Greek people used to believe that Mount Olympus was the residence of their gods. This was probably because it seemed high up and remote, and therefore a likely place for the gods to live. Nowadays, however, it is not as remote as it used to be, for it is a popular haunt of mountain climbers from all over the world. Moderators: Artemis, Zeus
The Ocean Kingdom When the gods Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon divided the world between them, Poseidon was given the water and its domains as his own. This included a chain of three islands from Spain to Central America. The largest of these islands was by far the most beautiful island he had ever seen. All vegetation was fruitful and beautiful and the people of the island were attractive and intelligent.
