The Greenbelt on Olympus

When the immortals asked Zeus to consider selling off part of Olympus, their case was difficult to refute. The global market for pantheism had peaked; revenues were way down. Zeus reluctantly agreed. Now, right next door, stood a billionaire’s massive mansion, from which helicopters came and went at all hours; recently, Nike had come to visit Hera and got sucked into a rotor. Yes, times had changed. Now the billionaire—Russian? American? Zeus couldn’t tell which—was pushing for a wall around Olympus. Zeus despised his neighbour, but thought this a prudent idea. The proles down below were increasingly obstreperous.
