A Novel of the Greek and Roman Gods

The main characters of Pantheon are twelve former gods of the Greeks and Romans. They have been living on earth, powerless but immortal, since humans stopped worshiping them at the dawn of the Middle Ages.

At the start of the novel, Zeus is contacted by Yahweh/Jehovah/Allah and shown a special way in which the twelve may regain their former divine status in the modern world.

In living for fourteen centuries, the Fallen Olympians have seen, and been a part of a lot of human history. Chapters of the novel take place in the second century CE Roman Empire, Renaissance Italy, the Pandyan Dynasty of Southern India, the Toltec Empire in Mesoamerica, Viking Scandinavia, a 17th century Jamaican port overrun with pirates, Russia during Napoleon's attempted conquest, the bloody trenches of WWI, and the twilight streets of Weimar era Berlin.

The former gods have had many adventures in their long lives. The novel also explores what happens when they accept the offer to become deities again.
