Once we had gone up to our dorm that night I used the little light coming through the window to study the anagram again. Some of the shorter words were obvious, but I couldn’t force any of it into a sentence that made sense. Eventually I gave up and went to sleep.

The next morning we had History of Mythology with Dasko first thing. Icarus ignored me as I entered the classroom.

‘Good morning to you too,’ I muttered, pulling the map and the riddle from my bag.

‘Any luck with the statue?’ asked Dasko as he walked into the room.

‘No. Haven’t solved the anagram yet,’ answered Icarus.

‘Me either,’ I said.

‘OK,’ said Dasko. ‘Why don’t the two of you try and work it out now.’

‘Do we not have to learn about history?’ I asked.

‘This is just as important, Pandora,’ he said.

‘But I know so little and everyone else…’ I trailed off, not wanting to admit that I felt stupid in front of Icarus. ‘Can we at least go over the Olympians?’ I finished quietly.

‘Yes, of course. I’m sorry.’ Dasko stepped over to the flame dish and flicked his wrist. ‘So you have Zeus, Lord of the gods, god of air, thunder and lightning. He’s married to Hera, goddess of marriage and revenge.’ A beautiful dark skinned woman appeared next to the handsome man in the image. ‘Artemis, goddess of the hunt, chastity and archery is the twin of Apollo, god of the sun and music.’ Two lithe, smiling figures appeared, both looking young and bronzed. ‘Aphrodite, goddess of love is married to Hephaestus, god of metal, fire and blacksmiths,’ Dasko said, and a stunning woman with alabaster skin, ruby red lips and cascades of dark hair appeared next to a hulking hunchback wearing a leather tabard. His face was scarred and wonky. They seemed an unlikely couple, I thought. ‘Athena is the goddess of wisdom, strategy and architecture, Poseidon is god of the sea.’ A bored looking bearded man with electric blue eyes was shown, standing by a serene lady dressed in a toga with her blonde hair in a crown around her head. ‘Hermes is god of thieves, tricksters and travelers, and Dionysus is god of wine and nature.’ A red haired man with a beard and an older man with a broad, lazy smile filled the dish. ‘Ares is the god of war,’ Dasko said and a hulking man in shining armor and a helmet appeared, ‘and Hades is lord of the underworld, god of the dead.’ A figure made entirely from black smoke, featureless, floated above the dish. ‘Nobody knows what he looks like. Technically he is not an Olympian, as he never resided on the original Mount Olympus with the others, but Demeter, goddess of the harvest, stepped down to give him her place when he married her daughter.’

Most of the names were familiar to me, but I scribbled down everything Dasko had said in my notepad.

‘And they can do anything? Like anything at all?’

‘Almost,’ the teacher answered. ‘They have some rules, that they set themselves.
