Tales & Truths

Series One

Tales by the Greek Gods

Where Gods Speak and Mortals Listen: Stories of Love, Faith, Mortality, and Becoming

​Tales by the Greek Gods is a series of four standalone short books drawn from the third volume—Truth Enshrined in Stories—of The Books of the God of Fear.

 

Each story invites you into a world where myth meets philosophy, and where poetic prose unveils timeless truths about love, fear, mortality, identity, and faith.

 

Though they differ in form and setting—from jasmine-scented conversations beneath starlit skies to the roar of medieval war—they are united by one voice: Phobos, the god of fear, who observes, narrates, and guides. Alongside him, divine messengers like Harmonia, Deimos, and Hermes offer their own glimpses into the human soul.

 

Read them in any order. Each tale offers a complete and transformative experience—yet together, they whisper a deeper truth.

Series Two

The Inner Journey

Unveil the Hidden Self Through Myth, Fear, and Reflection

Three gateways. One inward path.


The Inner Journey Series is a collection of short, poetic meditations that invite you to step beyond the illusions of ego, hope, fear, and desire. Inspired by ancient myth, inner truths, and the voice of the God of Fear, these standalone books can be read in any order—each a mirror to reflect the truth, a guide to escape the maze, or a tree beneath which your true self may awaken.

Whether you begin with The Maze of Life, gaze into The Mirror of Truth, or rest Beneath the Olive Tree, each book opens a door to return—not to the world, but to who you truly are.

Three books. One calling. The truth awaits.

Note: The series is drawn from the fourth volume—Truth Enshrined in the Mirror—of The Books of the God of Fear.

Series Three

The Mytho-Philosophical Odyssey

Three Poetic Journeys Through Ego, Illusion, and the Curse of Hope — Led by Phobos, the Unflinching God of Truth

In this trilogy drawn from Book Five of The Books of the God of Fear, ancient myth becomes mirror, and fear becomes guide.

Phobos—the forgotten son of Ares and Aphrodite—returns not to terrify, but to awaken. Through lyrical language and philosophical insight, he leads us from the pit of pride, through the labyrinth of illusion, to the final trap: hope itself.

Each standalone book invites the reader into sacred descent:

The Pit of Hubris reveals the danger of ego and the crowd.

The Mind’s Deception dismantles trust in the senses and unveils the death of certainty.

The Hidden Curse of Pandora questions hope, unveils divine strategy, and confronts the final illusion.


At the edge of darkness, truth waits.

Step inward.
Let go of pride.
Abandon illusion.
And dare to open the box.

This is no mere tale—it is a mytho-philosophical odyssey toward the self you’ve never dared to meet.

Each book can be read independently and in any order—follow your fear, and begin where it calls you.

Series Four

Forging a New Self Through Myth

A Mythic Descent into Love, Betrayal, and the Rebirth of the Soul

What if the path to healing isn’t found in reason, therapy, or time — but in myth?

The Forging a New Self Through Myth series is a poetic and mythic exploration of love, betrayal, estrangement, and rebirth. Across six intimate and powerful volumes, the ancient world of Greek mythology becomes a mirror for our most modern struggles — the justice behind true relationships, the ache of abandonment and the quiet grief of growing apart, the illusions of closeness, the burning wound of betrayal, and the fierce desire for revenge.

Through the voice of Phobos, the god of fear, these books speak to the soul that has tried everything and still searches — for meaning, for peace, for the self buried beneath pain. This is not self-help. This is self-forging: a mythic descent and re-emergence into truth.

Each book is a step along the journey:

- From fear that longs for love...

- Through estrangement that deepens identity...

- Into the courts of the heart and the illusions we keep...

- Toward a reckoning with betrayal, ego, and justice...

- And finally, the fire that does not destroy, but remakes.


If your heart has been shattered, your soul silenced, your trust broken — let these pages be your guide.

Come. Enter the forge. Myth will meet you there.

Series Five

The Illusions of the Mind

Philosophical Orations Revealing the Mind’s Hidden Truths

What if Fear were not your enemy but your oldest teacher?
What if the pleasures you chase were shadows on a cave wall, hiding truths you fear to see?


The Illusions of the Mind is a sweeping five-part philosophical journey guided by Phobos—the ancient Greek god of fear—and his kin, Deimos and Harmonia. In these timeless orations, they challenge humanity’s most comforting lies and cruelest self-deceptions, revealing the hidden architecture of the soul.

From the primal tension of Pain Is Closer Than You Think, which unmasks what Epicurus taught but Plato overlooked, to The Dance of Pleasure and Pain, where Phobos leads us through the true path from suffering to happiness—each volume peels back another veil of illusion.

In The Mirage of the Mind, Phobos and Deimos offer haunting reflections on gratitude, fear, and the fragile fabric of human emotion. The Theater of the Mind dives deeper, confronting regret, suffering, death, and the falsehoods the mind clings to in its fear of truth. Finally, The Scales of the Mind brings Harmonia’s calm wisdom, showing how sins and virtues balance one another, and how peace lies in embracing opposites without illusion.

These are not self-help books filled with easy answers. They are ancient orations for modern minds: poetic, unflinching, and transformative. They invite you to see that your mind is a stage, your fears its actors, your emotions its masks. To read them is to risk seeing your own soul without disguise.

Dare to unmask the illusions of your mind—and find the truth waiting beneath.
