When everything goes wrong and you know you are about to die, you pray. You pray to God like you learned in Sunday school.
When no answer comes, you start praying to anyone that will listen. And
sometimes they do. Sometimes it isn't a Jehovah or Yahweh that hears
you. Sometimes the Old Gods do. Sometimes the Old Gods answer.
People always get it wrong. The Old Gods in the myths we read in school
are always made out to be slightly silly, a little goofy. But they were
actually sources of sheer terror. Poseidon brought raging storms and
crashing waves. Ares was a bloodthirsty killer who reveled in death,
battle, and the stench of blood. Frightening, monstrous beings with
immense power, unspeakable rages and towering jealousies.
The most terrifying of all the Gods was Zeus. Striking from the top of
Mount Olympus, hurling bolt after bolt of deadly lightning, against
which there was no defense, no chance of survival.
