[chuckles] Thanks, Steve. Until the rebellion when the humans turned on the gods. I'm reading about that right now. So, apparently, all of this revolves around a powerful weapon. So Atlas, uh, the father of the daughters of Atlas, obviously, yeah, he crafted a quarterstaff from the Tree of Life and he used that staff to give powers to certain deities but also to take powers away from others. So, the staff's where Atlas stored all supernatural power. Yes, exactly. It's like a, a battery for magic. But when things got bad, a council of human wizards got together and they stole the staff from Atlas. And they used that to take his powers away. And once they had his magic they went after other gods... Guys, that's the wizard! I know this guy, this is the wizard that I know! What do these say?

Well, maybe it comes later. I mean you do usually ask Mary what to do. -I'm just saying. -Yeah. This is very, very hurtful. I just want you all to know that. And it's pronounced "Solomon." -Oh. -[Shazam clears throat] What else have we learned, fam? Well, once the staff contained the powers of the gods, the wizards apparently encased the God Realm in some magical sphere sealing it away forever. Cut off from magic. Oh, so that's what that was about. Yeah, I don't think that they are so cut off anymore.

A bizarre and gruesome scene unfolded in Athens, Greece this morning. Two women dressed in what appears to be ancient Greek... Whoa, whoa, whoa, that's the wizard's staff. How did they get that? So, all those statues used to be people. I'm wondering, how did the staff end up in Europe, where Greece is at?

How did you two meet? Comic Con. -What's Comic Con? -What? [superhero Mary] According to this, gods considered humans servants, toys to be played with, children to be punished.

"The Wisdom of Solomon, Strength of Hercules, Stamina of Atlas, Power of Zeus, Courage of Achilles, Speed of Mercury." These are the powers they stole.

[in English] Okay, I think the coast is clear. Let's go home. One moment. Did you not see what she was holding? It was an apple. She wanted a snack. What's the big deal? The golden apple. From the Tree of Life. From the Tree of Life. Oh, wait, hold up, didn't you say that was somewhere safe?

[docent] The lore tells us of a valiant few who stood above the fray and fog. My, what weapons they must have wielded. Which brings us to our current exhibit, the mythical staff of the gods. In Homer's tale, the staff was said to harness the gift of all gods. Oh. [chuckles] Welcome, proud soldiers. What did I say? Museums are fun. Amusement parks for the brains. [laughs] -Whoa! -[docent] Okay, there's no reason to get pushy. Everyone will get a chance to see it. Carved from a heartwood not seen in over 2,000 years, the two halves of this ancient replica were recently discovered in, of all places, a waste processing plant outside of Philadelphia. So strong, they reportedly broke -three trash compactors. -[thuds] Okay, um, friends, that's enough. I'm, I'm sort of the star of the show here... [gasps] -Stop! -[people murmuring] Stop! Sir!
