2. Changed the Olympian titles of "Ghod" to "Nephil" and "Ghods" to "Nephilim (Lord of Lords)." Nephil is a more accurate title plus it directly ties into subsequent world mythologies.
3. Changed the name of Olympia to "Kypros (Copper)."
4. Added "Anunnaki" as a reference to the Titans to allude to Sumerian creation myths. "Anunnaki" is the Sumerian word for "Offspring of Ki and An," Kiya and Vanam.
5. Had Teumessian conflate the title "Nephilim" with "Gods" who had supernatural powers.
6. Added scenes with Deucalion and Pyrrha plus Ziusudra and Aidos to support their final "Flood Scene" alluding to their roles in various Great Flood mythologies. Deucalion and Pyrrha are the Greek flood myth equivalent to Noah. Ziusudra is the Sumerian Flood myth equivalent of Noah.
7. Added several references to Ziusudra's "Atlas Land" due south of Tartarus's Elysian Fields to reinforce the concept that Kypros was the (conflated) origination story for Plato's Atlantis.
Dionysus, the oldest son of Zeus and disciple of Queen Kiya, does the best he can to alleviate the damage inflicted upon the world by the we-want-it-all Olympians led by Hestia, oldest child of Cronos and Rhea.
The very survival of civilization is at stake.
