- Athena: Age of Mythology is a game of heroes and monsters, mighty armies and epic deeds. Lead your culture through the Ages... from humble beginnings in a small village... to mighty citadels protected by the power of the gods. Tear down the walls of Troy... battle giants in the frozen wastes near Midgard... and fight armies of Anubites in the shifting sands of Egypt. The gods, as a token of appreciation, may someday reward you with great, earth-changing powers in Age of Mythology.
