Terms of Use

Welcome to Olive Grove Stories (https://narcissus-pistachio-lab.shop). These terms of use govern your use of the site, which is written and run by the editors of Olive Grove Stories ("we", "us"). By browsing or otherwise using Olive Grove Stories, you accept them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy explain how we handle information and form part of these terms.

Using the site

Olive Grove Stories is a free editorial blog about Greek myths. You do not need an account, and there is nothing to buy or subscribe to. We may update, correct, reorganize or remove any content, and we may suspend the site temporarily or permanently, for example for maintenance. We aim to keep it available and accurate, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

Copyright

All texts published on Olive Grove Stories are © Olive Grove Stories. All rights reserved. This covers our articles, retellings, commentary and the wording of every page, which are protected by Canada's Copyright Act and international copyright treaties.

The myths are part of a shared heritage, and the ancient works we draw on are free for anyone to read. What belongs to us is our own writing: how each story is selected, retold, explained and arranged here.

The illustrations were created for Olive Grove Stories with AI image-generation tools, based on our own creative direction. They are interpretations, not photographs of real sculptures, objects or sites, and they should not be treated as a record of any ancient artwork. Please ask us before reusing any of them.

Nothing here limits fair dealing for research, private study, education, parody, satire, criticism, review or news reporting under the Copyright Act. For any other use, ask us at [email protected].

For general education only

Our content is provided for general educational and cultural interest. We base it on the ancient sources and on published scholarship, and we correct errors when we find them. Still, myths have come down to us in many conflicting versions, interpretations change, and we cannot warrant that every statement is complete or current. Nothing on Olive Grove Stories is professional advice of any kind, whether academic, legal, medical or financial. If you need certainty for research or publication, please consult the primary sources and current scholarship.

External links

Our articles sometimes link to other websites, such as museum collections, digital libraries or translations of ancient texts. These links are provided for convenience and do not mean we endorse those sites, their owners or their content. We have no control over them and accept no responsibility for their content, availability or privacy practices.

The site is offered free of charge and on an "as is" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site or its content, from any interruption or technical fault, or from any website we link to.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any right or remedy you have under the consumer protection legislation of your province or territory, or any other law, that cannot be waived or limited by agreement. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.

Governing law
