About
Spyros Keloglou
When I was still young in age, I found myself in Books, especially of the mythological genre and later on, of the historical spectrum. As a Greek by birth, I learned to love the cunning of Odysseus, the brevery of Achilles or the virtue of Hercules and other mythological figures. Although young, I could feel and see myself in these stories of old. Around the age of twelve, I read a the book of Valerio Masimo Manfredi called “Alexander the Great”. And that was it. I was hooked for life. Historical Novels became my favorite genre.
Later on, my passion for history and mythology grew. I read the series of Percy Jackson as a teenager (finishing the first book in one day span! I was that amazed from the books!). I also found the magic that surrounded gaming and its unique storytelling. My greatest loves were the Witcher game series and an excellent story with a guy named Ezio Auditore da Firenze.
And one day, in the year 2017, close at the end of my teenage life, I got infected with the bug of writing, making my very first attempt to sit down and complete a book of my own!
Due to my upbringing as an Orthodox, but also due to my studies at the Social Theology Faculty of the Aristotelian University of our hometown Thessaloniki, my first book was about the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.
Together with Chris we are constantly exploring our interests in the content of stories; discussing, theorizing, erasing stuff, starting all over again etc. We finally have settled down to something we are passionate about. We hope you can follow us on this epic journey!

Me and Spyros have been watching and discussing tons of stories, sometimes we created scenarios for alternative endings, more side-stories, possible continuations and theories. To the point that we decided that it was time to publish our own!
I love writing! With my own books in draft, right now I am co-writing ‘The Argive” an original idea that belongs to Spyros. I wish to test my skills in storytelling, world building, character development and so much more. My outer goal is to write a book that represents my ideal plot and story. Similar to my favorite tilogy, the Lord of The Rings.
The first book I wrote was a concept combining the Norse Mythology and the video game God of War. It started as a personal theory upon playing the video game of 2018, which got develeoped in a book which I self-published on Amazon.
My love for Anime and Manga, allows me to explore other ways of storytelling, which I aim to practice, by drawing my very first Manga, hopefully in the near future!
The Acheans is a project between me and Spyros, where we like to connect with the world through our stories! We would love you to get in touch with us!
