2004: An Olympic Odyssey is a dramatic fantasy in which the gods of classical Greek mythology reunite to attend the 2004 summer Olympic games in Athens. Yet much has changed over the course of millennia; the gods have lost their cosmic powers, and even their stature among one another has changed in response to evolutions of human consciousness. Furthermore, the god of war Ares brings a lethal threat with the power of the atom itself, seeking to destroy peace and spread his bloodthirsty element; gods and mortal heroes alike must unite to protect the world and their Games. An enthralling and visionary saga, expertly blending legend with a palpable rendition of the modern world and its quixotic problems.
