——Phanes the Primordial One, the first cause of the universe's birth, called "the One" by Neoplatonism, sometimes for emphasis also called "Taiyi", was spreading these myths across the city-states of Greece, assuming the identity of the bard Homer.
After meticulous planning for over a century, travelling nearly every city-state and human settlement, and accumulating variables, he finally transformed during the Day of Ascension to Godhood, creating a divinity more attuned to the God of Chance than Hecate herself, successfully turning the tables and seizing most of her chance-based divinity.
Thus, his own great-grandmaster wasn't unjustly defeated, doomed only to honestly generate Gold Coins.
