⚡Modern Meets Mythology: When Greek Legends Collide with Today’s World

Where Past and Present Intertwine

There’s something endlessly fascinating about weaving ancient myths into modern life—and that’s exactly what Those Who Wait aims to do. It’s a story where lost temples meet city skylines, and where gods don’t just haunt the past… they show up in the present, with unfinished business.

Digging Up the Past—Literally

Lena, our heroine, isn’t just a dreamer—she’s an archaeologist. She works in dust and fragments, piecing together the stories time tried to bury. But the more she uncovers, the more she realizes some histories aren’t just dead and gone—they’re waiting. Watching. Ready to rise again.

And that’s what I love most about using archaeology in this story—it’s not just a backdrop. It’s the thread that ties today’s world to the divine. The trowel becomes a key to something much bigger: the realm of the gods.

What Happens When a God Enters the Chat?

Then there’s Hector. A god with a past as powerful as it is complicated—he once lived as Hecate, goddess of magic and crossroads. Now? He’s walking among mortals, trying to undo a prophecy that never stopped echoing.

What happens when someone ancient, immortal, and divine is forced to navigate a world of iPhones, museum grants, and coffee-fueled deadlines? Let’s just say things get messy. Beautifully, heartbreakingly messy.

We explore:

• How immortality clashes with modern life

• How gods might bend (or break) human rules

• And what happens when the supernatural no longer stays in the shadows

Old Gods, New Stories

Greek mythology is full of drama, love, betrayal, and fate—but Those Who Wait doesn’t just borrow those stories. It reshapes them.

By reimagining Hecate as Hector, the story plays with identity, transformation, and what it means to truly know yourself across lifetimes. It’s mythology with a twist, written for readers who love both ancient power and emotional depth.

This isn’t just about myths. It’s about what they still mean to us now.

Love That Defies Time

At its core, Those Who Wait is a romance—one that stretches across lifetimes and blurs the lines between mortal and immortal, logic and magic. Lena and Hector’s love story isn’t easy. It challenges them both to question everything they’ve ever believed.

Together, they face:

• Fate vs. choice

• Science vs. belief

• Distance, death, rebirth—and still, something holds them together.

Why Myth Still Matters

What I wanted most was to show that myth isn’t stuck in the past. These stories still speak to us—about who we are, what we long for, and how far we’d go for love, purpose, and truth.

Those Who Wait touches on:

• Finding yourself in a world that doesn’t slow down

• The tension between your past and who you’re becoming

• How women can balance strength, vulnerability, and purpose—even when the gods are watching

In the End…

Mythology is more than magic. It’s memory. And Those Who Wait is a reminder that love, destiny, and discovery aren’t just old tales—they’re things we live and fight for, even now.

Because maybe the past isn’t over. Maybe it’s just been waiting… for you.
