I am DMing my first ever campaign using the Mythic Odysseys of Theros source book and I am blanking on campaign arcs that I can include in this campaign. For starters, we have a party of 3 players plus myself as the DM and I control a DMPC as a little extra assistance for the players. This is also my 12 year old kids first ever campaign she's played. Our party consists of a barbarian that follows Nylea, a sorcerer that follows Thassa, a cleric that follows Athreos, and a Paladin that follows Heliod. The party is currently level 5 and participating in the Iroan Games in Akros. Mogis is the end game BBEG and I plan on this campaign going to level 20 if possible. I have future arcs planned, but I don't think I have enough to make it to level 20. I am borrowing some story ideas from the Odyssey of the Dragonlords source book, which is another Greek mythology based module, and adapting it to fit into Theros.
Currently, the arcs I have planned are the party heading to Deyda Harbor to find an ancient sea dragon that happens to be our sorcerers draconic ancestor. When they arrive they will find a warlock that was granted power to protect the harbor by Thassa, but his lack of action is causing his power to weaken and the protective ward on the underwater shrine to thassa where the sea dragon is sleeping. The next arc is going to track down the ghost ship, the Ultros. After that, they are going to a Masquerade ball in Meletis where the corruption of Mogis is going to start showing itself and party members are going to start losing connection to their gods. The plan is to start with Nylea and go from there based off the decisions the party makes. I just need ideas of things I could do to fill in the gaps and not make it feel like we are jumping from major plot point to major plot point. Thanks in advance!
Editing to add- if anyone also has any appropriate monsters or NPCs for the party to interact with or fight I would appreciate that as well!

Hi! I wrote several bestselling Theros adventures, and I think some of them could help you.
For example, Heliod or Thassa could bestow labours on the PCs worshiping them:

Or, in the meanwhile of the levels needed to arrive to Mogis, an intermediate villain like Ashiok could fit:

Those are some great ideas and are exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Thanks to you :)
