I'm just sitting here wondering how long it'll take before this story gets downvoted to all hell. That, and I'm expecting Kratos to show up and kick some Pantheon ass!
1591257 I' waiting for that as well. But it seems that there aren't many scary fire and brimstone Christians, Jews or Muslims who are bronies. Dodged a bullet there!
I honestly don't like Equestria's chances here. I mean, the God of the Old Testament is among the most unpleasant characters in ancient literature, and the Greek gods weren't exactly known for their kindness either.
I think it's a bit strange that Twilight was the one to help Celestia with the ocean, and not Luna.
By the way, Hercules is actually the Roman name of the character. His Greek name is Heracles. The Romans were really keen on stealing Greek deities and giving them different names.
I'm just placing my opinion here, k? No need to slaughter me...
I think god is REALLY ooc, I mean, as far as all three books go, god is a lord of justice and love. He does not wage war unless it is justified, as in egypt and jericho and all those military campaigns by the israelites that were justified by gods pledge to give the jews a land of their own.
And yeah, I guess your reason for the war is solid enough. Interference with another gods realm would be a bad thing, but the pride thing just doesnt fit. It would seem as if you are trying to characterize god as a man. If we are basing god from all three books then they have the aspect of holiness as a common factor, they do not fall for human temptations.
And the speech part really threw me off. Telling your people that youre going to a war against a god, because you broke the rules of the gods and that he has an army large enough to wage war and spread death to all of the planet doesnt seem really encouraging.
I mean, there are plot holes man, deep and dangerous, I will not dislike this and you can keep my like and I will keep an eye out. But hear my words, as this story gains views, and the chracters get more screen time, you will face the difficult task of taking on the role of, not one, not two, but THREE major deities that have really large and well studied works of literature behind them. And I'm keeping the greek ones out, but those have a lot behind them as well. All I'm saying is, do not take it lightly bro, do some heavy research of all the gods youre planning on getting in there.
It's not just a thing of placing the cool gods in, you have taken on a pretty large ship here man, take care that you know how to sail it.
There is only one issue I see. Hercules was a Roman god, not Greek. It's the whole Zeus/Jupiter thing, but the correct name would be Heracles, not Hercules. If you look into it, you can see that they each have a very different myth behind them. Other than that, I really liked where this is headed.
1595350 Thanks for the input. Remember, the whole pride thing was going through Zeus' head, it may or may not be actually happening. But still, thanks for telling me how I can do better!

Im Lutheran. ANd may God beat celestia so bad she becomes what she truly is. A good for nothing animal who bit the hand that feeds her!!!!
I'm still not getting it. Who are the good guys? The armies of God or the might of pony princesses we all know and love?

1592338 Yeah plus you're sending a peace time army of ponies against and army of god and demi god of a warrior race.
1592735 exactly my thoughts as well.

1591283 Look for the user 'LightPony' here on FiMFic. He's very... Devoted, to say the least.

I still can't believe I'm reading this.
And in this case, no, quoting Winston Churchill does not give you bonus points. Even if he did exist in the past of this universe.
Fuck the humans
