Possible Styles:
Heroes as storytellers. My first choice is in the perspective of each hero. There are a few ways I could do it, but I am thinking of making it to where each hero is up for the "Best Greek Hero" award and they have to sell themselves to the decision maker of the award. This would be fun because I could create a personality of the heroes and really make it my own.
Defeated foes as storytellers. Having the defeated enemies of the heroes, such as the Lernaean Hydra, Chimera, Medusa, Minotaur, Hektor, etc., tell the story of their battles would be cool as well. They could either be just telling the story of their battles to a person or even an award giver like the style above. I really like this option too, so it will be difficult for me to choose.
Gods as the storytellers. The gods play a big role in greek mythology, therefore I think it would be logical to have them tell the stories of each hero from their perspective. Similar to the above styles, the gods could be giving an award to one of the heroes, and a god must nominate a hero for the award. Since the majority of the heroes I have suggested are Demigods, their parents could be the gods nominating them.
Observer as the storyteller. The final style I was thinking about is using an observer to tell about a battle for every hero. I could use an animal, a fake person, or even a different observer for each hero to recount one of their famous battles. I am leaning away from this option just because it probably won't be as fun to read or write.
