Mount Olympus High


What do you do 

When all your favorite 

Greek mythology icons

Go to high school together?

 

Here we have our classics,

Athena, Persephone, Aphrodite, and Artemis,

The most popular in all

Of Mount Olympus.

 

There’s Athena the wise.

Student Body President

And in charge of all things

That make the school

Chug along.

 

Then there’s Persephone, 

goddess of Spring.

No one seems to know

How she became 

A part of the in-crowd, 

But she is there 

Somehow.

But Persephone 

Is much deeper than we think

She is in a secret relationship.

With none other

Than the school’s resident “bad boy”,

Hades.

 

And Aphrodite,

Goddess of love.

Your quintessential Prom Queen

And all-around baddie.

She’s who every girl

Wants to be

And every guy 

Wants to be with.

Between dieting,

Spin class,

And being overall

The epitome of beauty, 

Who has the time

To juggle a love life?

She technically has a boyfriend,

Hephaestus,

She prefers

To be unattached.


Lastly, there’s Artemis,

Goddess of the Hunt.

She’s amazing

At any sport

And a shoo-in 

For any athletic scholarship.

When she’s not on the practice field,

She’s getting her twin brother Apollo

Out of trouble and

Taking care of her dogs.


A lot goes down

At Mount Olympus High.

Like parties,

Dances,

Concerts,

And the occasional

Mortal kidnapping, 

You know, the regular stuff.

Stay tuned 

For what happens next

As the story

Has just begun.
