The author's Olympus language is amusing, programs are expressed as prayers to ancient Greek gods. https://danieltemkin.com/Esolangs/Olympus/ https://danieltemk

  I was interested by the Olympus language when I saw it in TFA, but I'm a little sad that the authors website doesn't have even a basic spec. I still cant tell if the epithets are syntactic, or you just need some amount of them, like PLEASE in intercal EDIT: According to https://esolangs.org/wiki/Olympus https://esolangs.org/wiki/Olympus, you need more epithets if the line of code is more demanding (?), and you need to use varying ones, but other than that they aren't syntactic

    Yes, you build a command in pieces, breaking it down so as not to seem too petty to the gods in any single line of code. The longer the request, the more praise must be given, but also you can’t repeat yourself too much (if you call Ariadne “mistress of the labyrinth” the first time, the second time you might instead call her “wise and cunning one whose agile mind finds purchase on the frailest of notions.” The project is here: https://github.com/rottytooth/Olympus https://github.com/rottytooth/Olympus and here’s an introduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Agq99SyHfFw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Agq99SyHfFw
