Release of ‘The Curse of Sisyphus’
The Curse of Sisyphus
The Curse of Sisyphus has been released and is available on the iTunes iBookstore. To celebrate the release, this, and its companion volume, The Thirteenth Labor of Heracles are both free until Sunday.
Zeus is not one to be trifled with. And Sisyphus has been a thorn in his side, defying him at every turn, yet escaping every punishment with uncanny cunning. But this time, the mortal has gone too far and Zeus has a special punishment befitting Sisyphus’ persistence.
The Curse of Sisyphus is the tale unlike others you may have heard about him before. Here you can find out exactly how Sisyphus defied Zeus yet again – and learn about the physics of motion, gravitation and orbit at the same time.
The Curse of Sisyphus -Coming Soon to iTunes
The Curse of Sisyphus, from DownHouse Software is coming soon to iTunes.
Sisyphus’ is a tale of cleverness and cunning in which the malevolent King Sisyphus offends and then repeatedly infuriates Zeus until the King of the Gods is forced to personally curse Sisyphus to a punishment befitting his crimes: To slave beneath a stone, pushing it each day to the peak of a great mountain in the underworld and then have it come crashing down upon him, leaving him to repeat the task again … and again … and again, throughout eternity.
But Zeus has tried to hold Sisyphus captive before only to find that the clever human is not so easily trapped.
In this volume, Sisyphus taps into the vengeance of scorned brother, the wisdom of an oracle and the might of a demigod as he masters the rules governing gravitation and motion to escape his punishment.
Look for it in the iTunes book store this May.

Give it a Kickstart
Today marks day one of my kickstarter fundraising. DownHouse Software is raising money to hire an artist to illustrate the second book in the mythic science series, tentatively titled The Curse of Sisyphus. This story explores the physics of motion and gravity using the story of King Sisyphus’ legendary punishment by the god Zeus. Additionally, funds will be used to improve the interface and gamify the DownHouse Software Website in a way that promotes exploration of DHS titles and provides a space to practice and expand the knowledge gained by reading the books.
To support this project or to just check it out in greater detail visit my kickstarter site: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1681676168/mythic-science-teaching-science-through-stories

The Thirteenth Labor of Heracles Released
The Oracle at Delphi
DownHouse Software released The Thirteenth Labor of Heracles iBook today.
The Thirteenth Labor of Heracles is a mythological tale describing a forgotten labor of the great hero Heracles. In completing this labor, Heracles not only earns his freedom, but also gains an understanding of the natural world. Specifically, this tale centers around the laws that govern the behavior of gasses.
This reading, and the problems that it incorporates, complements an introductory chemistry or physics course discussing the states of matter. It presents clear descriptions of how the Gas Laws of Boyle, Charles and Gay-Lussac operate independently and how they come together into a Combined Gas Law.
