My only real power was my beauty – you’ll have heard. It’s legendary. But that was never going to be enough for me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt took a web of lies to convince the gods of Olympus I was one of them. But I did. I was that good. Zeus gave me a title and riches and loved me. And all he wanted in return was for me to love him back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut of course, Zeus was a tyrant. (Not entirely surprising when you’re ninety per cent insecurities and ten per cent raw power.) I couldn’t live at someone’s mercy. Really, I had no choice. I had to take on the mightiest Olympian of all. And this bit’s not a lie… I intended to win.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wonderful tale set in Ancient Greece where a being with no power rises to the very top by outwitting other gods all while maintaining a sense of exactly who she is – a goddess who intends to always do it her way.
