#;a.sclepius#I SAW THIS AND I WAS LIKE -HEAD ON HANDS-#kind of like how its common to think of i.zou having a scar all around his neck from his past life#/long story short of his myth; a.sclepius became such a skilled doctor that h.ades complained to z.eus that they just had to get rid of him#(this being out of fear that he would grant the key to immortality to humans)#he was healing everyone and basically disrupting the way things worked bc people did not die and they couldnt have this guy roaming around#so z.eus struck him down with lighting#and then a.sclepius' dad (apollo) was like noooo my sonnnn#and to ease his rage z.eus went like ok fine; and turned a.sclepius into a constellation#this is why in f.ate he has a dislike for the gods; he thinks that they get in the way of progress out of selfishness#his beef with a.pollo is more of a fate interpretation as i couldnt find records in regards to his feelings towards his mother#but i find that it gives him more background and its an interesting idea;;#coming back to the matter of scars-#if he did have them; i feel like he would feel bitterness upon seeing them in the mirror; like a sort of haunting memento mori#that if you take a step further the gods will take control over the fate of men despite themselves fearing it#of the irrationality of the gods; of that powerlessness;#he wouldnt cover them on purpose because he tends to think its pointless to wander in the past when there is so much to do in the present#and -for- the future#but deep down he -does- still feel spite and resentment and he does not forget#;dl
