Mythical Mayhem | The Great Greek Big Bang

Before reality TV, the original drama kings and queens were the gods of Greek mythology. The Big Bang(ers): How the Gods Invented Chaos (and Bad Parenting) takes you on a wild, hilarious ride through the ultimate cosmic soap opera. Meet Gaia, the overworked Earth mom, Uranus, the absentee father who literally shoved his kids back where they came from, and Cronus, the paranoid son who thought snacking on his offspring was a solid parenting strategy. And just when you think the chaos has peaked, Zeus enters the scene—lightning bolts in one hand, terrible decisions in the other.

Packed with betrayal, sibling rivalries, monster revolts, and divine tantrums, this story promises laugh-out-loud moments and jaw-dropping antics. Because let’s face it—your family drama has nothing on the gods.

Ready to meet the gods and feel better about your own life? Join the fun now, and discover just how badly the immortals messed things up!
