“All mens’ souls are immortal. But the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine.” – Socrates

Legend speaks of the powerful Epirus Bow, that the wielder of the bow can unleash the power of the titans. King Hyperion goes on a crusade to obtain the bow so he can release the titans and wage war with the Gods.

King Hyperion cursed the Gods for not answering his prayers when his family was stricken by a disease, and since the titans are the only entities that have the power to battle with the Gods, the bow would be the key to his revenge.

And to do this, he seeks the virgin oracle Phaedra who can lead him to the location of the bow. But one man stands in their way…Theseus. Trained by Zeus himself, Theseus vows to avenge her mother’s death by the hands of King Hyperion, at the same time protect the oracle and save humanity from the wrath of the titans.

Elements Bits number 1:

Would you rather live forever yet not be remembered, or live one lifetime and achieve immortality through history books. (Or in some case, just live life to the fullest, knowing that you did fairly well.) They say that it takes years to build a reputation and just one act to destroy it. True, in a sense that the deeds of one person can justify the legacy he/she leaves behind. That’s why we need to be very careful when choosing the paths that are set before us. Before being tempted, we might want to ask ourselves, “Is this how I want to be remembered?”
