Now the world was only in the confusion of war".
Arion, the son of Demeter, is taken away by Hades to train in the underworld. Hades cons Arion into believing Zeus is resposible for his mothers blindness and that killing him will lift the curse. Time passes and when Arion is ready, he leaves for the surface with a cyclops he befriended, to look for Zeus. At the time, war between Zeus' land forces and Poseidons ocean forces is getting underway. Arion ends up getting captured by Athena and Aries, who are commanding Zeus' army. Before he escapes, he meets and befriends a girl named Lesphina. Also he learns that the cure for his mothers blindness was a lie and he was just a pawn, as it seems Hades is also getting in to the conflict. A conflict that Arion is destined to play a part in.

Review
Dated but very well done. Action, intrigue, adventure, and a little romance set in the world of Greek Mythology, complete with a large cast of Gods and Heroes. Very entertaining.
