Everyone has heard of the modern Olympics and all the drama therein. Well, before all that, there was Mount Olympus of course, home to the classical Greek gods and goddesses. Everyone's heard of Zeus, the most powerful of the Olympians, and of Athena, the wisest of the gods, and perhaps some others, but you've probably not heard them quite like this. 

At any rate, in this episode of Last Gasp or Gigantomachia, you'll hear first a brief introduction to the play by ye olde MC himself and after that our cast, Dreamus Teamus 2.0, introduce themselves. Following that, lend your ears to the two parts of this Olympian comedy to see how the Olympians respond to an external threat to their status quo.

After a prologue of sorts, Act I opens with Hera and Zeus looking for a special flower which would confer a sort of prophylactic protection to the gods should the Giants, let loose by Gaea in revenge for the death of her son, Antaeus, storm Mount Olympus. With the exception of Ares, all the Olympians sniff said flower but, like many of the defensive measures put forth by the Olympians, this measure falls short, especially in Hera’s case. Our beloved gods do in fact get some unexpected help from unexpected quarters to their great relief.

The second scene deals with the aftermath of the Giant attack on the Olympian stronghold and the gods’ pathetic defense thereof. As in the first play in MC’s Olympian cycle, much dirty laundry gets aired, and nobody in this fractious family comes out smelling like roses. Furthermore, given the near success of the assault on Olympus by the Giants, existential questions surprisingly arise for some of the Olympians.

So, without further ado, strap yourselves in, as it may be a harrowing ride up to Mount Olympus during this Giant attack, yet as always, enjoy and embrace, in this case, not so much the absurd and dysfunctional, but the apocalyptic.
