Summary: "Olympian Nights" by John Kendrick Bangs is a humorous fantasy novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the misadventures of a mortal who, while seeking shelter on Mount Olympus, finds himself entangled in the antics of the gods, revealing their less-than-great qualities through witty dialogues and playful satire. Key characters include the narrator, an unnamed man, and his guide, Hippopopolis, who together explore the absurdities of divine life. At the start of the novel, the protagonist has just arrived at the base of Mount Olympus during a fruitless search for a war that he had hoped to witness. After a long and tiring walk led by his guide Hippopopolis, he learns that he is resting near the legendary home of Greek gods. Hippopopolis expresses a skeptical opinion of the gods, claiming they are not as noble as one may believe, and his cynical humor sets the tone for the narrator's journey. As the rain begins to pour, the protagonist is left alone to fend for himself on the mountain, eventually discovering a mysterious elevator and a world within Olympus that operates on its quirks, alluding to the comedic mischief that will unfold.
