Piramano, i'm considering you, but i need too see everyone first. Thanks.

Ok, thats fair enough.
Just let me knoe if I'm going to be a judge

well can my story be a hero who has been tricked and wrote a diary to enteral life....something happened...can't say, gotta prewrite first.

I see theres already been an entry for Heracles...Well that ruins mine kinda; Anyway mines on Heracles second labor. That's to kill the hydra. Anyway I hope you like...

Heracles pulled his lion skin cloak closer to his body and continued down the hill towards Lerna. He was going there with his nephew Lolaus to slay the hydra. Hydra was a nine headed beast; one of its heads was immortal but the other heads were more deadly because if one was cut off two more heads would grow back in its place. Heracles found Lolaus at a small fishing community around the lake.

After they had exchanged pleasantries they continued along the shore. Eventually they came to the mouth of the bay that the hydra supposedly lived in. They walked at the ready for a while before stumbling across the giant crab that lived with the hydra.

Lolaus hid behind some rocks, he wasn't a very good fighter, while Heracles fought the beast. He blocked a few blows from the giant claws before slashing one of its legs off. He then blocked another blow tossing the crab backwards causing it to topple and land on its back. Heracles quickly stepped on top of the crab before it could flip itself over. He jabbed his sword into the soft spot in between the top and bottom plates of the crab; he then pulled towards himself to confirm the kill. He then stepped down and kicked the crab out into the lake were it had came from.

Lolaus and Heracles continued towards the center of the bay one the lake. When they found the hydra it was in a rocky outcropping on the shore. The rocks offered them cover from the attacks of the hydra but also caused loss of footing to be a problem. Lolaus waited for Heracles to cut off one head before using a hot iron to cauterize the wound preventing it from producing two more.

This process continued until they were down to the last and immortal head. Heracles cut the head off and buried it under a large boulder near by. He used the blood of the hydra on his arrows as poison to kill anyone they touched. This poison was his eventual down fall. This was Heracles' second labor although Eurystheus didn't count it because Lolause helped him. He was forced to do another labor for this. The crab was awarded by Hera by being put into a constellation, cancer.

Hope you liked it.

Well it does need more periods and commas in my opinion. And he was just trying to help...
Any I just wanted to say that I never thought that greek mythology was this interesting. I've had a little experence with it in english and bible classes, Yes I'm Chirstian get over it. But I never thought it was this interesting. The greeks came up with answers for why volcanos erupt and how the earth was formed; they were clearly beyond thier time.

:Yes I'm Chirstian get over it.

Haha, Yeah i'm Christian too, although I don't find Christianity that interesting. I still hardly know the difference between Christian and Catholic.

Lol. Maybe it's the schools fault. :D

------------------
Anyway back on topic.. lol.
-----------------

Nice stories.
I might start writing one, But it's not going by Matt's Man verse Creature guideline, so ive decided to write it for fun instead of the comp, since obviously it breaks the rules.

Ive seen too much stories and movies of " Man v Mythological Creature " I (and possibly some other members) wanted to give the story a twist. :)

WWll.. (Use a translator to convert some messages.)

"Get Back! Get Back! Those damned Germans keep pinning us down!" Yelled Sgt. Anderson over the sound of bullets and gunfire. "We're running out of ammo, sir!" Yelled some stupid Private First Class. "We shoot till we die, son!" Replied the Sgt. Planes hovered over the Americans. " Woo! It's our support! " Screamed a Major. " We gonna send these sonsofabitches to hell! " Yelled a Sgt.
Over at Hitler's Crib.

Hitler was fussing over some arcade game.
" So then I was like " Not anymore , bitch. " And then I total kicked his a- " " Um, sorry for the interruption sir but the American ants have crawled over our troops with their pathetic little army and planes. Most of our Truppe have lost morale and fleed like fucking Schweines. "

Hitler was sent into a great depression until he resorted to praying to common gods.

He prayed to Hades, Greek god of Hell.

" Bitte, Hades, habe Erbarmen mit uns und geben uns die Kraft zu zerstören, die ratbag asswipes aus den USA "

Hitlers prayer of power soon enough came true and gave Hitler the idea of creating a bomb so big, it would destroy all of America.

" Hahaha, My plan is perfecto! I will blow up all of America with my nuke, aided to me by Hades. If Hades is not lying it would fall on sunset. "

Sunset.

" Hades, you have guided me throughout this war thus far, please guide our armee to power and victory. "

A strange voice was heard throughout the world. It creeped everyone out.

In Greek, it said " All your nuke are belong to us. "

Everyone stopped battling, and before they new it. BAM!
Big explosion, big enough to send everyone including Hitler and his Companions back in time, the nuke was so powerful the whole army weren't even in Europe, they were in a country they have never heard of before, Ancient Greece. ( Well it's changed it's appearance obviously in the timewarp. so they didn't know where they were. )

Of course, the god Hades is not a nice one, and with every wish granted there would always be a catch.

Instead of ending up in ancient Greece, they ended up in hell, all servants of the god Hades.
The Germans always wondered where the Americans were... Fortunately, Hades lived up to his word and destroyed all of America, of course, in exchange for the German souls.

The Germans had to think of a plan in order to escape.

-TO BE CONTINUED- (If you like it.)

And don't be a negative asshole and say 30% of it is part of ancient Greece and 70% is German/American. It's not that completed yet, but if you don't like it, that's fine. :)

Story

Also, there is a few mistakes and spelling errors, at the start the sgt yells something and then it said Hitler's crib, that's supposed to be a sentence down. So Yeah. lol :D.

Oh yes can I make norse mythos and greek mythos fight each other it would be fucking awesome to see odin and zues kick the shit out of each other. Thor vs. Hercules and shit like that?

I'd say yes. But keep it mythological and don't focus on the badassness.

Bloodman, there are so many ways your story can go right now. It's kinda cheesey getting knocked back in time and all, but its still good. If you did want to enter it you could have hades realese the hundred-handed on them and then the armies would band together to win...If you don't want to enter it theres so many more options its not funny....

Okay, after reading everyones posts iv'e named the judges, they are...

Anyone actually taken a full semester-long elective Mythology class? I did and I PASSED IT EASY! I love Greek, Norse, Roman, Chinese, and Japanese mythology. I just can't get enough of it.

I guess my favorite Greek myth stories are:

The Rage of Achilles
The Odyssey
The Iliad
Jason and the Argonauts
The War of the Titans and the Gods of Olympus
Cronus' Dethronement

those are about my favorites until I can think a little longer.

I write alot and I found that on the website that you link in the members list. Also I'm a girl....

Anyway to comment on some of the other conversations that have been going on, slntcobra1 I like those stories. Although I do prefer more of the creation stuff simply because its deeper... Troy is a favorite of mine though.

I also wanted to throw in a few facts about myself:

I'm a girl
I tend to remeber everything I read
My favorite God is Aphrodite
I like cats...
I'm an honor student
My favorite greek hero is Perseus
I enjoy reading difficult text like the creation of greek mythology
I write alot(Go to my user page to see)

Well, I guess thats all you really need to know. I guess I would also like to say that I'm open to help anytime I'm on so feel free to ask.

first off to answer bloodman-christian belive in jesus christ and that he is the only way to heaven.
catholic-belive that bloody mary is holy(which she not she is a also a sinner), they belive in saint which i don't think are real, and they speak to old guy to confess their sins to. (which make no sense since he just a normal man.

Oh by all means, continue. The story you wrote so far was clearly an introduction. Now the German are in Hades and that's sure to include some serious mythology there.
Don't hold back (if that's the case, though)
