WELCOME, DEMIGODS!

Theseus, Perseus, and other Greek heroes have something in common: in addition to being awesome, they had outside help. Theseus was gifted with Ariadne's string; Athena and Hermes visited Perseus, and gave him a shield, winged sandals, and a sickle that Kronos used to castrate Ouranos.

Later heroes learned from the mistakes of the heroes of the past, so there must have been something you thought was wrong with a particular Greek myth. If you were in their shoes, what would you have done? What did they do wrong that you think you would be able to do better?

Zeus: We never did anything wrong, so yeah. It's not gonna be an easy task.

Mya: *spits water that she was drinking*

Lillian: *chokes on a strawberry*

Vicy: *tries not to laugh*

Hera: *looks at demigods* *rolls her eyes* Look who's talking.

PROMPT: WRITE, NOT MORE THAN THREE THOUSAND WORDS, A RETELLING OF ANY GREEK MYTH.

In order for us to determine the heroes as soon as possible, here are some guidelines to follow:

• All genres are accepted, with the exception of Fanfiction (we need to see your own characterisation and world-building skills!)

• You must tag us so we can see your entry (we don't want to miss any of your heroic demonstrations!)

• Entry must be made as a new story and not in any other short story or contest book.( How else can we award you with stickers?)

• Your entry must be posted on Wattpad (y'all understand why)

• All entries must be submitted before 27th of March (this year, of course) UPDATE ALERT!!!!  THE DATE HAS NOW BEEN CHANGED TO 12TH OF MAY!!!
