Description

The Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Greece and
Rome had returned to Earth with all their
awesome powers intact. Overnight, Earth was
transformed. War on any scale was outlawed,
along with boom-and-bust economic cycles,
and prudery. No change was more startling than
the face of New York, where the Empire State
Building became the Tower of Zeus.
In this totally altered world, William Forrester is
an acolyte of Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, and
a teacher of history. Only Maya Wilson, one of
his students and a worshipper of Venus,
Goddess of Love, had a different sort of grading
in mind. Maya is the first of the many Trials of
Forrester, every bit as mighty and perilous as the
Labors of Hercules. In love with Gerda Symes
(like him, a devotee of Athena and a frequenter
of the great Temple of Pallas Athena formerly
known as the 42nd Street Library) and dedicated
to the pleasures of the mind
- Forrester falls
under the soft, compelling pressure of soft,
compelling devotees of Venus and Bacchus.
He's going to be in need of all the strength that
he and his Goddess, the beautiful and
intellectual Athena, can muster!
