"Age of Heroes" ~ Games in Ancient Greece ~ Sourcebook?

[FCWesel]

Is there a book or source for 3.5 that is like the 2nd Ed. "green book" called ther AGE OF HEROES?

AoH is described thusly: "Their names were Achilles, Odysseus, Jason, Heracles, and Alexander. Their deeds pitted them against monsters, men, and the known world. They were Greeks, and theirs was the age of heroes. Age of Heroes transforms this epic time of myth and history into an exciting AD&D setting, with details on spells, magical items, new character kits, maps, pictures of ancient Greek life, and a starting adventure."

I am looking for a source to aid in gear and spell list and general options and restrictions for this time periode over the standard D&D elements...and I would rather not 'convert' my old AoH book to 3.5.

Thanks

This book by Sean K Reynolds gives you everything you need to run a campaign in mythic Greece. Rather than cramming dwarves, paladins, and otyughs into a Greek setting, The New Argonauts presents a low-magic campaign (but still with a touch of the fantastic and divine) where the focus is on Greek-style heroes, their battles against strange monsters, and great quests. This book gives insights on how a low-magic campaign affects character concepts and game balance, an overview of Greek culture, history, the Olympian pantheon, the original Olympic Games, and advice on running a mythic Greek campaign. Gamers who love crunchy bits can find new feats and spells, a set of heroic powers derived from godly bloodlines, a campaign-themed spellcasting class, simple magic items based on parts from mythic monsters, and over thirty monsters drawn from the Greek myths (many rewritten from the core version to suit a low-magic campaign).

I don't know if it's what you are looking for, but Sean K. Reynolds has a d20 supplement called "The New Argonauts" that is touted as being d20 in Mythic Greece.

EDIT: Beaten to the punch!

I don't any of these, so I can't speak to their quality.

OGL Ancients also has some decent stuff in it. It covers ancient Egypt (and to a lesser extent, Babylonia) as well as Greece, generally very compatible with D&D.

For non-D&D sources, there's a few freebie RPGs that can serve as inspiration and source material. Warlords of Alexander is an RPG set in the successor kingdoms to Alexander the Great's empire, one of the most "D&D-like" periods in history. Mazes and Minotaurs is an interesting experiment in what original D&D might have looked like if it had been inspired by Greek mythology (both actual and as-seen-by-Hollywood) rather than a blend of Tolkien and pulp swords-and-sorcery fiction. Both have a bunch of useful setting and inspirational material, in the core downloads and/or the supplements.

In addition to the above I think Monkey God Press' Frost and Fur has an Atlantis section, and Avalanche press has Twilight of Atlantis.

Deities and Demigods has a greek gods section and Bastion Press has a whole supplement on greek gods.

There is also Relics And Rituals Olympus

Thanks for the suggestions, guys, I had thought SKR had done one, but hadn't seen when I glimpsed at his sight. Thanks again.

Just a quick reminder that Fiery Dragon released a counter tie-in to New Argonauts, titled Greek Counters of DOOOOOOOM!!!!!!

Steampower Publishing also has some Greek RPGs, and is working on some more.
