Hellas: Worlds of Sun & Stone is published by Khepera Punblishing, the same company that publishes Atlantis: The Second Age, and uses the same Omni system that Atlantis uses.

Basically it is Greeks in S-P-A-C-E but it is very, very well done, with the same Lifepath character creation system used in Atlantis, which provides many hooks for future character initiated storylines. As with Atlantis, the players are the movers and shakers in the game and can have real and permanet effects of the story.

What is different from Atlantis (which is more open ended) is that Hellas has a metaplot (similar to a Savage World plot point campaign) incorporated in it, covering a period of 100 years (well more like 4 x 25 years). Seeing it covers such a time period, characters will die or be uplifted by the Gods, gloriously you hope, so a replacement character needs to be created to carry on. Hellas does this by not just providing the standard character advancement rules, but also including rules from Player advancement. So when your current character leaves the stage, when you design your new character he/she gains bonuses form your Player Level. Really neat and works really well ;-)

If you like a sci-fi game with a solid character creation system, great background, really awesome spacecraft, with an interesting and well thought out. ancient Greek, twist, then Hellas: Worlds of Blood & Stone is really worth a look.
