[Taken from "Gods of Futures Past," by the late Dr. Jonas Beckler.]

"The mythology of the Greeks (in fact, all classical mythologies) is rife with the supernatural: flying chariots, impervious armor, even resurrection from the dead. By modern standards, however, these feats are almost mundane. Like Prometheus, technological advance has taken what was once the sole province of the gods and delivered it into mortal hands. Even the Greeks, at least the educated Greeks, believed that their myths were merely exaggerated accounts of prehistoric rulers who really existed.

"The truth, I believe, is far stranger than myth.

"I believe the Olympians were time-travelers from our own future. They colonized the ancient world and used their advanced technology (possibly not all that much more advanced than ours) to dominate their ancestors and live as gods among men. (This may also be the case for other pantheons the world over, from the Norse gods to the Hindu.)

"The chilling question this theory raises is... if the Olympians could colonize the distant past, could other time-travelers colonize the present?"
