Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips

Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips

Being a Greek god is not all it once was. Yes, the twelve gods of Olympus are alive and well in the twenty-first century, but they are crammed together in a London townhouse-and none too happy about it. And they've had to get day jobs: Artemis as a dog-walker, Apollo as a TV psychic, Aphrodite as a phone sex operator, Dionysus as a DJ.

Even more disturbingly, their powers are waning, and even turning mortals into trees--a favorite pastime of Apollo's--is sapping their vital reserves of strength.

Soon, what begins as a minor squabble between Aphrodite and Apollo escalates into an epic battle of wills. Two perplexed humans, Alice and Neil, who are caught in the crossfire, must fear not only for their own lives, but for the survival of humankind. Nothing less than a true act of heroism is needed-but can these two decidedly ordinary people replicate the feats of the mythical heroes and save the world?

MARIE PHILLIPS is the author of the international bestseller Gods Behaving Badly, which was made into a feature film, the Baileys Prize-longlisted The Table of Less Valued Knights, and the Shakespearean comedy Oh, I Do Like to Be. With author and playwright Robert Hudson, she has written two series for BBC Radio 4. Her latest book, Create Your Own Midlife Crisis, has also been published in the UK. Phillips lives in London.
