FAQ

A retelling of Greek myth that you can read and play. There are gods and creatures to browse, ages and myths to walk through, a Library of articles with our own theories, and a play hall with quizzes, wishes, cards and battles. It draws on Homer, Hesiod, the hymns and later writers, but it is not a translation of any one text.

No. You can read everything and play as a guest. An account lets your cards, ambrosia and wish timer follow you to other devices. You can sign up with Google, X or an email and password on the sign-in page.

On your profile page, under My Cards. That is also where you spend ambrosia to level a card up.

Go to Quizzes & games and pick one. Each question has four answers, you pick one, and the next question follows. There are two kinds. The Myth & legend quizzes have a fixed set of questions on one subject, like the Trojan War or the Underworld. The From the archive quizzes are built fresh from the site's own data each time, so the questions change every time you take them.

Every quiz has three titles. Score 80% or more for the top one, 50% or more for the middle one, and anything lower gets the first. Your best titles show on your profile.

Two personality quizzes. The first matches you to a god, with a rank of Lesser, Mid, High or Legendary. The second matches you to a creature. You cannot win a creature by wishing, so this quiz is the only free way to meet yours. Once you have taken either one, a special wish unlocks that lets you change your result.

No. They are just for fun. Only the quizzes pay drachmas.

The coin here is the drachma. Every correct answer in a quiz earns you 10 drachmas, paid when you finish the quiz. A perfect 8 out of 8 is 80. You can retake quizzes, and the archive quizzes change each time, so there is always something to play.

Cards cost 60 drachmas (common), 180 (rare), 450 (epic) or 1200 (legendary). The three ultra cards, Zeus, Gaia and Poseidon, cost 3000 and can only be bought, never wished for. Ambrosia is 40 drachmas a drop, creature feed is 30, and creatures run from 400 to 2000 depending on rarity.

Visit the shop to see everything.

Drachmas are stored on the device you earned them on, not on your account. Your cards, ambrosia and wish timer are saved to your account if you are signed in, but drachmas are not, so clearing site data or switching devices starts that balance from zero. Spend them before you clear anything.

You get one wish at a time, and there are three kinds:

• Grant me a champion gives you a random figure at Level 1.
• Grant me favor always gives you 3 drops of ambrosia. There is no luck in it.
• Grant me a legend gives you one of the legendary figures. It unlocks once you own 3 cards.

After any wish, the Pantheon rests for 1 hour before you can wish again. The wishes that change your quiz result do not use that rest.

Every wish shows its exact odds in its details, and those are the real numbers. In short, a champion wish is 56% common, 30% rare, 11% epic and 3% legendary, before we remove any tiers you have already emptied. Inside a tier, the weaker figures turn up slightly more often. A card you already own can never be pulled again, so you never waste a wish on a repeat.

The 7 most powerful figures are legendary, the next 10 epic, the next 13 rare, and everyone else common. Zeus, Gaia and Poseidon are ultra and live in the shop. Creatures are never in wishes.

A Level 1 card shows 40% of its figure's full power, and Level 10 shows all of it. Each drop of ambrosia raises one card by one level. You can get ambrosia from the favor wish or buy it in the shop.

Past Level 10 there are golden stars. Collect 3 copies of the same card (extra copies come from the shop) and you earn a star. Each star adds 10% to the card's power, up to 5 stars.

In the Battle Arena you pick two figures, and the arena shows each one's chance of winning before you fight. Press fight and the result is decided by that chance, like a weighted coin, then played out as seven exchanges of blows.

Every figure has seven bars. They are not all worth the same, because a fight cares about some more than others:

• Might counts for 30%.
• Endurance counts for 20%.
• Wrath and Cunning count for 15% each.
• Dominion counts for 10%.
• Craft and Favor count for 5% each.

Those add up to one battle power number for each figure. The bars are our own temple measures, made for play, and are not canon.

Because it is a chance, not a guarantee. The stronger figure is favoured, and the gap matters a lot, but the weaker one always has a chance. As a rough guide, a figure with 10% more battle power wins about 64 times in 100. With 20% more it wins about 75 times in 100, and with 50% more about 92 times in 100.

So an upset is not a bug. When the underdog wins, the arena says so. Myths are full of this too: the weaker side wins more often than anyone expects, usually through cunning, luck or a favour from someone else.

After a fight, the arena names the winner's biggest advantage, such as "Won on might (90 vs 70)". It is a summary of where they were strongest, not a separate reason. The dice still decided the fight.

No. The arena always uses each figure's base bars, so a battle is the same for everyone. Card levels and stars matter for your collection, not for the Battle Arena.

No. The Library holds our own readings and theories, built on what Homer, Hesiod, the hymns and other writers say. We try to mark what the sources say and what is our guess. Ancient sources often disagree, and when they do we tell you.
