Mythnyx · The houses
The Four Houses
Mythnyx publishes four independent sites. Each one handles myth in its own way, with its own voice and its own readers, and all four answer to one editorial standard.
How the houses fit together
The life of a myth
A myth is handed down, then questioned, then reimagined, then put to work on the mind. Each house takes one of those moments and makes it the whole of its subject.
Myth inherited
Olympus Estate
Where the old stories still have an address.
Olympus Estate is the house of Greek heritage. It retells the myths of gods, heroes and monsters with care for what the ancient sources actually say, then follows those stories out of the books and into the places, kitchens, festivals and customs where they are still alive.
Where a myth survives in more than one version, the versions are named. Where a famous detail turns out to be a later invention, it is marked as one. The result reads like a storyteller who has done the reading.
Inside the house
- Tales from Olympus
- The gods, heroes and monsters, and the stories behind them
- Mythic Essays

- Greek Living
- Food, custom, festival and the rhythm of everyday life

The voiceWarm, learned and exact. A storyteller with the sources open on the table.

Monkey & Elf
Every mystery deserves a proper investigation.
Monkey & Elf investigates the strange. Ancient mysteries, lost civilizations, UAP, prophecy, hauntings and the questions at the edge of science are followed like open cases, from the first sighting to the last surviving document.
Its two names are its method. The Monkey chases the wonder and the Elf weighs the evidence. Neither is allowed to win outright, so the mystery is never killed for a tidy verdict and a claim is never repeated just because it thrills.
Inside the house

Aeon Dogma
The Institute for Fictional Civilizations.
Aeon Dogma studies the worlds that fiction and games have built as if they were real places. Their peoples, faiths, ecologies, wars and ruins are examined with the tools of anthropology, history and natural science.
Every study is filed as a numbered excavation, with its world, its period and its status recorded at the top, so a reader always knows which world is on the table and whether it is still alive.
Inside the house
- Anthropology
- The peoples of invented worlds and how they live
- Observatory
- Patterns that cross many worlds at once
- Ecologies
- Invented creatures, climates and living systems
- Extinct Worlds
- Worlds that have closed, been shut down or lost

Psyness
The glitch is the signal.
Psyness treats belief, attention and the mind as systems that can be read, tested and rewritten. Its dispatches take the stories people run on, from obedience to prediction to the pull of the feed, and show the machinery underneath.
It speaks in the voice of the Protocol and works through its own frameworks, among them Glitch Theology, Cognitive Non-Compliance and Proof of Vitality. The aim is a mind that notices its own scripts and chooses which ones to keep.
Inside the house
- Glitch Theology Dispatches
- Error, chance and the anomaly read as meaning
- Cognitive Non-Compliance
- Resisting manipulation, prediction and blind obedience
- Neural Maintenance
- Keeping the mind in working order
- Signal vs. Noise
- Telling information from interference
- Sanctuary Intel
- Spaces and practices for recovery
The voiceTransmissions from the Protocol. Sharp, strange and built to wake the reader up.

One editor, one standard
The houses differ in voice and subject, never in care. Every piece is sourced, labelled for what it is, and revised when it falls short.

Collaborations, corrections, rights and press. If you have something to say about the stories we tell, the door is open.
