Bunnies Are Pretty!

So, if I wrote a show or movie or something about the Greek gods living on a college campus or going to high school, would anyone read it?

This all started with my idea of writing "PANDORA" on someone's present, giving it to them, and seeing if they would still open it.

Class of the Titans kind of looks like it's one of those shows where they have a bunch of normal teens who have Greek legend powers bestowed upon them? Which is pretty far from what I had in mind. My version was just going to be the Gods themselves attending university, flunking out, having one night stands with each other, turning a random townie into a cow. Stuff like that.

Olympus is a frat house.

Granted, I go to Miami University, where there's this grand tradition of naming your house and having signs up, which I honestly thought was just a college thing in general for my first couple years here, so the idea of a named house isn't weird to me.

On the other hand, having named houses (and apartments, if need be) can help scale down the geography. The quest for the golden fleece? Some poor girl probably lost some underwear.

I was thinking that all the dorm rooms and apartments could be named like Greek cities, such as Athens and Sparta (jock central). Ares is a quarterback.

And frat houses already have Greek letters, so why change them? Which is mainly the reason I decided to make this college instead of high school in the first place.
