This was my punishment, young hero, for being on the wrong side of the war that sent one brother to Tartarus and left me estranged from the others

Wow, what a great connection to this prompt! I love the idea that he shares in the joy of mankind's discoveries...

And I love the line: "Give me the means to never be weak again." I wish for the same.

I really enjoyed reading your entry! :)

Oh gosh, that was really sad. Really enjoyable, but I didn't expect that turn at the end and what a gut-punch it was.

Thank you. Greek myths seldom had happy endings.

YES YES YES YES. That is how I felt reading this, hahahaha. I am a huge Classics nerd, I loved this so much.

Glad you enjoyed it. :)

I liked your take on the topic; it was very creative and cool.

Your story's ending had quite the impact!

Thank you. My husbands playing Age of Mythology these days, so I've had Greek myths on my mind :)

I really enjoyed this, despite the ridiculously sad ending! ._. Poor Atlas. Awesome take on the prompt.
