We make mythology memes every now and then. We got about 200 of them. And we also like to share history and mythology memes on Facebook, if you follow our page on there you should know that better than anybody. But we’ve been keeping the viral If Gods Had Tinder memes in one post, the Mythology Memes in another, and there had to be a better way, right?

Right?

Well, 9gag has pretty much nailed the endless scroll meme-filled place down. So, we made one of our own, added in a bunch of memes, some history ones ’cause we like to educate you as well, some wonderful mythology stories, some interesting videos, articles, and even some mythography in art both old and modern.

All in all, it’s a place where we can dump anything we like around our interests.

Like Gorgocutie said, ‘Can’t. Stop. Scrolling.’ This site was a fun little project but it’s already quite full of stuff to explore. Some of you have already gotten the hint from our Facebook Page and joined in the fun.

So, go on, visit 9gods.net and have fun with the mythology memes we’ve made or found. Share with your friends, and why not? Upload your own.

Oversized, panoramic hardback graphic novel Sons of Chaos, exposes the quiet agenda of Ali Pasha, the Ottoman Empire’s most brutal dictator, and how his fascination with a young Greek boy led to the rise of one of Greece’s most revered heroes— and a war that would define the Western World.

An immersion into the moments we never see, and the self-serving motivations that convince a nation that violence is warranted, and that war is necessary.

In honor of the 200 Year anniversary of the Greek War for Independence, Sons of Chaos presents the story of 1821 through the eyes of Marcos Botsaris, the son of a respected Greek leader taken prisoner as a child and raised within the dungeons of history’s most infamous Ottoman Pasha, known as the “Napoleon of the East”— Ali Pasha of Ioannina. Over the next ten years, the bond formed between them would define history.

The Greek War for Independence was a conflict that quietly influenced the entire world and participants ranged from the London Stock Exchange to celebrities such as Lord Byron, as well as average impassioned Americans willing to transport themselves across the Atlantic to fight alongside the Greeks.

This conflict was the pinnacle of what we now know as the Romantic Period and yet, it’s a war that few know ever existed outside of the Greek and Turkish cultures; a war that stimulated the fall of the Ottoman Empire and shaped Western Civilization as we now know it, and in a sense is being fought today under a different heading amongst today’s political world leaders.

Hundreds of years of Ottoman rule gave the Greeks a reason to fight. Marcos Botsaris gave them a leader.
