Clash Of The Titans

The Chronicles of the Returned: The Book of Telamon

The Chronicles of the Returned: The Book of Telamon A mythic warrior reborn in the shadow of modern war. A city drowning in ancient prophecy. A shield that remembers. Set between the dreamlike decay of Venice and the blood-soaked ruins of the Balkans, The Chronicles of the Returned – The Book of Telamon is a haunting, visionary epic that merges Greek tragedy, military trauma, and ritual horror. Its protagonist — known only as “The Balkan's wolf” — is no ordinary veteran. He is Ajax reborn: once the son of Telamon, now a shell-shocked ex-UN soldier plagued by visions spoken in Mycenaean Greek and dreams of a blood-soaked fig tree. Haunted by the loss of his wife and child, Ajax seeks answers in the underworlds of Europe’s forgotten cities — where human traffickers like the mysterious and elusive Nessuno (Odysseus) reign. Nessuno has become the modern embodiment of the oligarch : a global oligarch who trades in organs, flesh, and lost souls aboard his AI-powered black yacht, Argo. In the ruins of Marghera, whispers rise of a “pure delivery” — a child untouched, immaculate organs to be harvested an dsold to the undernet. A sacrifice. Meanwhile, in the war-ravaged past, Tychios — a former Red Brigades engineer turned Balkan arms dealer — rebuilds the shield of Ajax from a battlefield anti-riot shell. A hybrid artifact of myth and modern warfare, engraved with a winged goddess who neither forgives nor forgets. Every throw of the dice, every fig in the market, every ghost in the therapy circle — leads Ajax closer to the reckoning that has followed him through centuries. In a narrative that evokes the psychological tension of True Detective, the noir textures of The Third Man, and the existential tragedy of the Iliad, this book asks: What happens when the myths we buried return to collect their debt?

The Titan King

"To Kronos, Fumigation from Storax. Eternal father, mighty Titan, hear, great sire of gods and men, whom all revere; endued with various counsel, pure and strong, to whom increase and decrement belong. Hence matter's flowing forms through thee that die, by thee restored, their former place supply [reincarnation]. The world immense in everlasting chains, strong and ineffable thy power contains; father of vast eternity, divine, O mighty Kronos, various speech is thine; blossom of earth and of starry skies, husband of Rhea, and Prometheus wise. Obstetric power and venerable root, from which the various forms of being shoot; no parts peculiar can thy power enclose, diffused through all, from which the world arose. O best of beings, of a subtle mind, propitious hear, to suppliant prayers inclined; the sacred rites benevolent attend, and grant a blameless life, a blessed end [passage after death to Elysion (Elysium)]." - Orphic Hymn to Kronos from Theoi ----------------- The Usurper, King of the Titans is known as the Devourer of the gods, his children in modern times but what if something changed that? What if Kronos became someone different in a very different world, or is it a different timeline? Someone much better than the original. This Kronos will be our protagonist and he'll be changing a few things about history. He doesn't know why he's reincarnated or if he's the only one. He's gonna try to figure it all out but he won't be wasting this opportunity at another life either and he'll do anything and everything to protect his family from the hands that hold him. (This will be my second story and first novel. It'll be a bit slow-paced at first but it should pick up later on.)
