The 60 Second Synopsis
The gods and goddesses, the demons and monsters, of ancient mythologies have been trivialized, their worship proscribed and the entities themselves confined to another realm. Their ongoing battles are chronicled throughout Jim McPherson's PHANTACEA Mythos. In addition to the events of Mithramas Day 4376 YD, Feel Theo highlights a number of these tales.
Since 4000 B.C., as most Outer Earthlings count time (Year of the Dome Zero, as Inner Earthlings do), the gods and goddess, the demons and monsters of mythology have spent the majority of their often immortal existence on the Hidden Continent of Sedon's Head. At the novel’s outset, Thrygragos Varuna Mithras (the Great God of Light, Truth, Justice and so much more, including civilization) is one of the very few gods still worshipped on both sides of the Cathonic Dome (or Sedon Sphere).
Unfortunately for his continued Great Godhood, he's been losing worshippers on the Outer Earth to monotheism since the Emperor Constantine converted from Mithraism to the so-called Christian or Roman Catholic Church of the era. Consequently, he initiates an Inner Earth power play designed to usurp the worshippers of his two brother Great Gods and their third generational offspring.
He reckons nothing can stop him, not even his ever-reincarnating deviant son Taurus Chrysaor Attis, the Universal Soldier. What he can't plan ahead to stop, because he can't remember he even exists, is the pernicious influence of Smiler (who claims to be his triplet brother in Sedon), and the seemingly inanimate objects known as the Trigregos Talismans.
(These are the trilogy’s titular thrice-cursed Godly Glories. They’re named after the three long lost, yet nonetheless deeply despised, second generational mothers of devakind. As described in the graphic novel, devazurs consider them traitors to their own often-unkind kind. As for the other three Godly Glories, the Thrygragos Talismans, named after the Great Gods themselves, as far as Mithras is concerned they aren’t cursed at all. That’s probably because he has them.)
A mosaic novel, its multifarious cast of characters includes gods or devils, a few of their mortal offspring (called deviants) such as Jordan Q Tethys and Taurus Chrysaor Attis, and a number of ordinary men and women. Hardly all of these last are human. (Sooth said, there's a particularly nasty Saurian, namely Saudi the Steg Sari, running amuck throughout much of the novel.)
