Human Hybrid Experiment
Poseidon’s Atlantis Adventure: The Human Hybrid Experiment follows Poseidon as he travels through time, faces ethical dilemmas, and experiences the wonders of an advanced technological world. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?
The inspiration for Poseidon’s Atlantis Adventure: The Human Hybrid Experiment is the backstory of my first novel, Einstein’s Compass: A YA Time Traveler Adventure. I wondered how young Albert Einstein came up with his miracle theories. He lived during the horse and buggy days with the light bulb being the latest technology. Maybe he was from Atlantis and was trying to remember what he did as a priest-scientist in Atlantis. Albert’s soul is from Atlantis in the character Arka. Arka has an evil twin Raka. My editor said people wanted to know more about Atlantis. She encouraged me to write a series on Atlantis.
According to legend, Poseidon created Atlantis. Research into Greek mythology shows Poseidon’s story begins with the war of the Titans. The sibling rivalry after the war gave the god of the sea a reason to seek a new life path. In reading Greek history, Greeks often projected human behaviors onto the gods. I wanted my readers to relate to the gods, especially Poseidon, so I gave him human behaviors.

Poseidon’s Atlantis Adventure – The Human Hybrid Experiment
Poseidon’s Atlantis Adventure by Grace Blair marks an ambitious beginning to her Atlantis series, seamlessly weaving science fiction elements into the rich tapestry of Greek mythology. This novel, the first in the series, presents an imaginative twist on the classic Titanomachy, offering readers an alternative perspective through the eyes of Poseidon as he battles alongside his siblings in the quest for dominion.
Blair’s narrative commences with a fresh take on this mythological war, culminating in Poseidon’s reign over the seas. At the same time, Zeus and Hades govern the land, skies, and the underworld, respectively. The story then diverges from traditional mythology, depicting a restless Poseidon who yearns to escape Zeus’s shadow. His journey leads him to the enigmatic Atlantis and to Cleito, who reveals unexpected truths, propelling Poseidon into a saga of time travel, confronting ancient evils, and exploring futuristic technologies beyond the imagination of the gods.
Blair’s nuanced portrayal of Poseidon is one of the novel’s most commendable aspects. Turning an omnipotent deity into a relatable character is no small feat, yet Blair achieves this by highlighting Poseidon’s imperfections and vulnerabilities. Finding himself in the advanced civilization of Atlantis, Poseidon must navigate this new world with the assistance of mortals, providing an intriguing contrast to his divine status. The narrative delves into thought-provoking themes, particularly the ethical complexities of advanced technology, such as genetic engineering and human hybridization. Blair does not avoid the moral ramifications of these advancements, adding a layer of depth to the story. The inclusion of spiritual elements, epitomized by the character Lucus and his teachings of “The Way,” further enriches the narrative.
Poseidon’s Atlantis Adventure will particularly resonate with Greek mythology and science fiction enthusiasts. Blair’s skillful pacing and immersive writing style invite readers into a world of wonder, underscored by her evident passion and extensive research into Greek myths. The anticipation for the second installment in the series is palpable, given the strong foundation laid in this opening novel.
