For 200,000 years hunters hunted, gatherers gathered, they sometimes mated. Then something happened. They became civilized. This is that story in six books, deconstructed from Biblical, Greek, Egyptian myth and traditions. To understand why we are the way we are, we must understand how we began. This is my offering. Let those wiser tell it truer.

This is the third book in the six-book series, The Beginning of Civilization: Mythologies Told True, which imagines mankind's protohistory deconstructed from mythologies and traditions. Dionysus and Hestia imagines the rise and fall of the Olympians and the origination of the Great Flood myth as told in Greek Mythologies.

Dionysus, oldest son of Zeus and a disciple of Titan 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.

Who won is not entirely clear
