SCENE 1: OLYMPUS:
Narration: Olympus was the residence of the divine family, the twelve most important rulling gods and goddesses of ancient Greece, who therefore were called the Olympians. There they all lived together in an enormous palace, high above the clouds. Mount olympus is known as some msyterious region far above earth. It is within were the gods lived and slept and held court. Here they conversed of the affairs of the heaven and earth; In its great halls they feasted on ambrosia and nectar and were entertained by Apollo’s lyre, the Graces and Muses along the sides of its hall stood thrones, belonging to Olympians. No wind ever shakes the untroubled peace of Olympus; no rain ever falls nor snow. Such is a peaceful and serene place. A perfect abode for the gods and goddesses until such...

Aphrodite: I believe so.. Come dearly sisters and goddesses, lets give him all our blessings!

Now, here me, you noblemen. These princesses are full grown and I will allow worthy citizens to come courting for their fair hands.
Queen: And more gorgeous maidens you’ve never seen. Why I think
