Synopsis
Excerpt from The Flitting of the Gods: An Authentic Account of the Great Trek From Mount Olympus to the Canadian Rockies
What Jove says goes with the gods. Then there was hurry and bustle and coming and gomg ll'l haste and all was confusion in the flurriedpreparation for the Great Trek. Pandemonium reign ed everywhere and the hills resounded with mingled shrieks and sobs and lamentations. It was as if all were under the supernatural spell of a hideous night mare. Olympus - the land of their creation, the home of their ancestors, the one spot sacred to them and theirs - would be lost to them forever, and, alas and alack, they would become wanderers in strange coun tries. At last the supreme moment arrived. The hour of departure had come. Pluto stuffed a package of sulphur in his grip to start a new Inferno if the old one, as appearances indicated, was to be abandoned to mortals. Momus loaded himself with a bundle of comic exchanges and colored supplements. Vulcan packed his smithy in his Saratoga. Mars pinned on a couple of medals and took along a few emergency rations and a can of embalmed beef; Cupid filled his quiver anew; Bacchus, with his usual precaution, laid in a full cargo of assorted brands of ambrosial nectar -and so each one made ready for the hegira, which was delayed a few moments while Juno halted if her halo was on straight.
