#7 against thebes
Text
Was doing some research on Diomedes and found out Tydeus was a pupil of Athena, a favorite of hers to the point she offered him immortality. He was a man blessed by the gods and yet, his actions disgusted the gods himself. In battle, Tydeus ate the brains of his enemy. An act so barbaric and out of line that it lost him the blessing of Athena.
Why did that happen? How come Tydeus decided to take that barbaric action? The act most certainly did not represent Tydeus’ character (if it had why would Athena be surprised and shocked?). Could one blame the gods? Striking Tydeus with madness? Or was it simply a fatal flaw in the king? A rage so unnatural and overbearing that it took control of him completely — a flaw overlooked by the gray-eyed goddess. A mistake that she would not commit again.
Diomedes himself is typically characterized as short-tempered and prone to anger, although he has far more self control and respect than any of the other greek kings (except for Nestor I suppose). He was mentored and sculpted into the man he was in the Trojan war by Athena herself, aiding him at all times, blessing him more than she did even Odysseus. She felt she owed the family of Tydeus, most likely treating them much like she treated Odysseus’ family in the Odyssey.
She most certainly succeded in preparing Diomedes to be such a great warrior, Aeneas comments that he was second only to Achilles in the greek army (although typically it is Telamonian Ajax who is said to be the second strongest greek) and Diomedes is most certainly one of the highest-trusted greeks in the army (It is he who is entrusted with the espionage to Troy, and it is he who is tasked with choosing who will follow HIM). Diomedes also has armor made by Hephaestus himself! An honor only appointed to Achilles. He was beloved by the gods, most definitely, and talented in all parts of war — talent which certainly came from his experience taking Thebes to avenge his father.
Diomedes shows incredible restraint, care, and control in his time in the war. He perhaps represents exactly what a greek warrior should be. Not burdened by the suicidal rage of Achilles. Not hindered by the constant lies of Odysseus. Not tainted by the pride of Agamemnon. Perhaps that is why he went on to be worshipped as a divine being in parts of Greece.

read a chapter in a book about how the near east influenced greek mythology that explained why these cultures were very drawn to stories about brothers fighting each other and how it started and on god my only thought was just like chuck supernatural! oh so spn is just a continuation of the orientalizing revolution huh.
there are worms in my brain it is ROTTEN in there
#but I am right though. what is western culture if not the epic of gilgamesh retold and distorted#it's called connecting the dots#well the section was specifically about the 7 against Thebes but like. you get it

the discord brainstormed a "HoO plot but better" au where it's more focused on being the Gigantomachy + The Odyssey (like how the first series was primarily the Titantomachy + The Iliad, particularly TLO) rather than the awkward Gigantomachy + 7 Against Thebes + Argonauts juggling, and i literally have not stopped thinking about it since. someone remind me to explain it at some point because i'm obsessed with it. it's just extremely fun.
#pjo#riordanverse#au#the main thing with it is instead of it being the gods swapping characters#its the giants just. yeeting the heroes into europe#for prophecy reasons cause the good ol' ''accidentally sealing your fate by trying to avoid a prophecy''#giants: they cant stop us if theyre across the sea!#the 7: we should fight them for throwing us across the sea#also in this version there's more reasoning for percy and annabeth to be there#and also Reyna gets to be there from the start!#and even Octavian ends up with a better character#because in this one it makes Total Sense what his motives are and why he acts the way he does#both the praetors just disappeared overnight and left him in charge. good luck with that bud!#im just rotating it in my brain man#its so SILLY but also works surprisingly well really easily

[image ID: a page spread. on the left page is a rectangular frame, within which is an oil painting of a young Claudio Castagnoli and Eddie Kingston in the course of a match. both are kneeling in the ring. Kingston, on the right, presses his head against Castagnoli's shoulder. both look downwards. the painting is high in contrast, with white highlights and black shadows. the background is entirely black.
on the right page is a round-top frame containing text in approximated rotunda script. the first line opens with an illuminated letter W. the top and bottom of the frame are filled with semi-floral, symmetric decorative elements. the text reads: "whoever has been spared the worst is lucky. when high gods shake a house, that family is going to feel the blow. generation after generation. it starts like an undulation under-water, a surge that hauls black sand up off the bottom then turns into a tidal current, lashing the shingle and shaking promontories."
the border is split into 17 segments. 7 of the segments contain rounded decorative elements. 6 contain simplified portraits of either theseus or the minotaur. the remaining 4 contain close-ups on parts of a wound man. the lines of the border illustrations are thin and measured. /.End ID]
and never, you men of thebes, forget what you saw today.

The winner of the Secret Sonic Showdown is... Competitor 5, Ebony!
Congratulations to her, and thank you to everyone who participated, be it by entering characters, sharing this tournament, or voting in polls. This tournament wouldn't have happened without you

Now to answer the big question...
What's next?
For tournaments:
If you would like to follow Ebony, @sonicuniversesmackdown is a tournament pitting the winners of 64 Sonic tournaments against each other, including this tournament! As Sonic Universe Smack-down (or SUS as I like to call it) can't begin until all of the tournaments have found their winners, it will be a bit until it begins, but you can give them a follow to make sure you see when they start
I'm also hosting another tournament, @bestfakesonicshowdown. The goal is to find the best Sonic copycat (think Metal Sonic, Scourge, etc.). If that sounds interesting to you, head on over! Submissions are closing Wednesday night, so get any entries in soon
For this blog:
As there are still many characters who need their doodles, this blog will continue posting art until I've gotten through all of them. Aside from that, I'll be a lot less active here, though I'll still answer asks and promote other tournaments. I might also reblog other posts related to our competitors
If there is enough interest, I may run a second Secret Sonic Showdown at some point. It would probably be at least a few months out, maybe even next year. If that's something you'd like to see, be sure to let me know!
If you're curious about your host here, you can find my main @eldritchgriffin. It's not a Sonic specific blog, but I do post about Sonic a fair bit

Alcides x (fem) Princess! reader!
Plot: Alcides has a innocent crush on the eldest princess of Thebes and after proving his worth decides to protect his princess long after being in the heavens….Even though she has no idea who he is. (🤣)
Alcides found her to be beautiful.
Celebrating her 18th birthday in Thebes with her sisters, the eldest princess (Name) , Alcides was in the crowd with Castor watching with happiness as she would tell the crowd “Hello”. While still young, Alcides had an innocent crush on the eldest princess.
“I’m going to say hi-“
“No! Her guards will execute you on the spot.”
Castor stopped his energetic friend by pulling on his scarf making the boy stop as he almost choked. Castor had to remind Alcides that (Name) was a princess and that the two were from different worlds.
Not one for being discouraged, Alcides vowed that he would protect her and be her body guard one day. Castor found his friend vow to be rather far fetched as Alcides as small and the weakest boy in Thebes. However, when he saw his determination Castor knew there was no turning back. While trying to get (Name)’s attention two bullies that Alcides fought against tripped him and made Alcides fall face first into the ground making Castor rush over to his friend worried while the two bullies laughed.
They also heard Alcides’ vow and wasn’t too fond of a weakling protecting the princess that they also liked, so of course they had to remind the young boy of his place. However, they weren’t expecting the princess to stop what she was doing and helped Alcides to his feet with worry on her face.
“Are you okay? You took a tumble there.”
Alcides felt his heart race and his hands become sweaty while knowing his face was red from the princess helping him, and giving her handkerchief for his nose that was bloodied. Alcides couldn’t even talk as he couldn’t believe all this happening until (Name) patted the top of his head.
“Be careful from now on.”
After the princess walked off from Alcides to be with her sister, Castor and the two bullies watched with amazement at a speechless and amazed Alcides. Looking down at the handkerchief Alcides felt a sense of happiness as he wanted to become stronger right away.
From that day, Alcides improved his training and still helped those that were in trouble. From defending those from bullies and wild animals trying to enter the city. Over the years, Alcides kept getting stronger until no one messed with him and he was a skilled warrior.
“Look, she probably doesn’t even remember you.”
“No way, someone like (Name) remembers everything.”
It was night time in Thebes as Alcides was doing push ups with an older castor on his back. Alcides still had the handkerchief his princess gave him years ago, it was his little secret. Believing, to always protect the innocent and his princess.
Even against the gods.
As fear set in Thebes as the gods were close to attacking, everyone was worried that they would be demolished. Instead, everyone rejoiced by the end of the ordeal as Alcides prevented the destruction. Of course, (Name) saw the whole ordeal but had no idea who the young boy was. (Name) believed she had never seen the boy in her life, much to Alcides dismay when Castor told him.
Once in Valhalla, Alcides had taken on the name of Hercules and even though his name changed his feelings of being on the side of the righteous never changed.
“You can’t have your first kiss! Because I haven’t had my first kiss!”
Every morning was the same, (Name) by passed her younger sister’s room that constantly argued with one another. A total 7 sisters with of course her being the oldest, and some would say the most mature.
“A kiss?! Please! I wouldn’t be impressed unless my lover came with pearls!”
Ah, young love.
However, (Name) did agree silently with her sister. Pearls were a favorite of hers and she too would be impressed if someone she liked got her pearls.
As luck would have it.
“What a beautiful gift!”
Hercules had visited Thebes to check how things were going and to give the, his, princess a gift of a pearls. Hercules played it off as though he had just discovered the pearl necklace laying around in the forest, even though the hero traveled a long distance to get the necklace from the mermaids. Eavesdropping, (Name)’s younger sisters watched as the giant hero gifted their sister with a beautiful pearl necklace that they all wanted dearly after seeing it.
Especially, the younger ones who just argued that evening.
Nearby, Castor also watched as Alcides, Hercules, gift (Name) then necklace noticing the blush on the hero’s face while twiddling his thumbs and looking elsewhere. That’s when Castor knew Hercules was going to take place.
“I wanted to repay you for giving me your handkerchief to me when I was younger-it meant a lot.”
“…What handkerchief?”
It was silent for awhile. Everyone was surprised at (Name)’s words, Hercules especially. Quickly showing her the cloth that she gave him a long time ago, explaining that he was the boy who tripped and she was the one that helped him to stand up.
Castor knew his friend was over his head but was shocked when he heard (Name) snap her fingers and saying she finally remembered. The happiness that was upon Hercules face was bright and he was happy his princess remembered him.
“You were so small and now you’re this powerful god…talk about a change. Tell me about your adventures.”
“All of them?! Today-“
“Of course! I’m sure you have a lot to say.”
The hero felt his heart race once more once (Name) wrapped her arms around his toned and muscular one as his face became a bright red. Guiding Hercules to her private room, so the two could talk and not be interrupted by her sisters as she knew her sisters would interrupt eventually.
“Did…did you also get my letters? I ..wrote you a few letters too.”
Hercules was still ever bashful as he remembered when he was younger that he gave her letters, letters that mainly talked about how he would train to get stronger and then talk about how he was injured that day. (Name) couldn’t tell if it was from a kid or another idiot suitor. Either way, (Name) didn’t think much of the letters as she didn’t know who it was from and forgot about them completely.
Deciding not to hurt the hero’s feelings the princess went along with Hercules story, which made Hercules smile as his heart skipped a beat knowing his princess read his letters.
“Ow!”
Both Hercules and (Name) heard a small voice from behind them, looking to see a young girl face planted on the floor as her older sisters hid behind the wall. Lifting her head and tears falling from her face until she was easily lifted up on her face by the hero Hercules.
“Are you okay? You took a tumble there.”
(Name)’s youngest sister nodded her head while looking at the handsome hero who gave her a smile and a pat on the top of her head before walking with (Name) once more. Watching the two walk together the youngest princess smile as she held the top of her head with a smile on her face.
“That’s my hero.”

Consort:Amunet, Wosret, Mut
Offspring:Khonsu
Greek equivalent:Zeus
After the rebellion of Thebes against the Hyksos and with the rule of Ahmose I (16th century BC), Amun acquired national importance, expressed in his fusion with the Sun god, Ra, as Amun-Ra (alternatively spelled Amon-Ra or Amun-Re).
Amun-Ra retained chief importance in the Egyptian pantheon throughout the New Kingdom (with the exception of the "Atenist heresy" under Akhenaten). Amun-Ra in this period (16th to 11th centuries BC) held the position of transcendental, self-created creator deity "par excellence"; he was the champion of the poor or troubled and central to personal piety.With Osiris, Amun-Ra is the most widely recorded of the Egyptian gods.
As the chief deity of the Egyptian Empire, Amun-Ra also came to be worshipped outside Egypt, according to the testimony of ancient Greek historiographers in Libya and Nubia. As Zeus-Ammon, he came to be identified with Zeus in Greece.
Amun and Amaunet are mentioned in the Old Egyptian Pyramid Texts.The name Amun (written imn) meant something like "the hidden one" or "invisible".
Roles
Personification of the hiddeness of the primeval waters. Kings of the gods and god of the wind,solar god,creator god and fertility god. God to call upon if you get stung by a scorpion or if you vemon from a scorpions tail.
Features
Part of the Ogdoad.He wears a crown of two vertical plumes, and is either human or has a ram-headed,or is a sphinx.His skin is said to be blue perhaps lapis.
Early History
Amun rose to the position of tutelary deity of Thebes after the end of the First Intermediate Period, under the 11th Dynasty. As the patron of Thebes, his spouse was Mut. In Thebes, Amun as father, Mut as mother and the Moon god Khonsu formed the divine family or the "Theban Triad".
Female counterpart of the Amun and a member of the Ogdoad
Amunet
Other names:Imnt, Amonet, Amaunet
Major cult center:Thebes,Hermopolis (as a member of the Ogdoad)
Consort:Amun
Symbols:Egyptian cobra, snakes, vulture, red crown deshret
Hybrid Gods:Neith-Amunet
Amunet or Imnt is a primordial goddess in ancient Egyptian religion.Thebes was the center of her worship through the last dynasty, the Ptolemaic Kingdom, in 30 BC. She is attested in the earliest known of Egyptian religious texts and, as was the custom, was paired with a counterpart who is entitled with the same name, but in the masculine, Amun. They were thought to have existed prior to the beginning of creation along with three other couples representing primeval concepts.
Roles
Protector of the king,air and invisibility,hidden forces,female counterpart of Amun,part of the Ogdoad.
Description and History
Her name, jmnt, is a feminine noun that means "The Hidden One". She is a member of the Ogdoad of Hermopolis, who represented aspects of the primeval existence before the creation: Amunet was paired with Amun—whose name also means "The Hidden One", with a masculine ending (jmn)—within this divine group, from the earliest known documentation. Such pairing of deities is characteristic of the religious concepts of the ancient Egyptians. In early concepts known as the Ogdoad, the primeval deity group to which they belonged as "Night" (or as the determinative D41 meaning "to halt, stop, deny", suggesting the principle of inactivity or repose),was composed of four balanced couples of deities or deified primeval concepts.
Speculation exists that Amunet may have been conceived by later theologians as a complement to Amun, rather than being an independent deity originally, however, the Pyramid Texts, the earliest known religious texts of Ancient Egypt, mention "the beneficent shadow of Amun and Amunet"
Draconian
Egyptian-Draconian Grimoire Asenath Mason
Let me clarify. The idea of Khepra being the Sun at midnight, or alternatively the Black Sun, is a new invention, only dating back approximately 120 years or so. Before that, historically speaking, he was the god of the sun at dawn, so the idea of him corresponding to the sun at midnight is a modern occultism invention. Amun was the original hidden god, dating back to ancient Egyptian antiquity. Before there was RA, there was Amun. Before the light there was the hidden one. Before the light came onto the scene, there was the hidden. Before the light is always the dark.
Amun was known as the chief of the ancient Egyptian deities, but is also one of the most mysterious in hindsight. He was the patron deity of Thebes, and the easiest way to think of Thebes is that it was the ancient city that was where Karnak and Luxor are located still to this day. He was known as the king of the gods, or the equivalent thereof, but also corresponded to protecting the king, self-creation, and fertility. Briefly, he was a deity that was so open to interpretation that it was up to the individual follower to define him, rather than a set list of correspondences for one to memorize and come into line with.
Amun is often times misunderstood as a solar deity, but in reality, as you can see above, he was actually a nocturnal deity. Well, even that is not true as he did not correspond to the Moon, but rather he corresponded to the nebulous and the hidden, the veiled, unknown, and subjective. Ile was in fact so popular that he was blended with later deities such as Amun-Ra, and to this day his name has still continued in the phrase "Amen." While Aleister Crowley has discussed his perspective on the word, we can confidently say that is only one perspective on it, as he did not address the draconian roots of the deity, but rather the aspects of him that fit his particular magical system. In this working we are going to look at his true ancient history and draconian roots, and make contact with one of the most ancient and veiled deities on the planet that can assist us in developing our dark sight and our ability to see into the hidden and the concealed.

Hymns to Amun-Ra
Lord of truth, father of the gods, maker of men, creator of all animals, Lord of things that are, creator of the staff of life.
Amon-Re "who hears the prayer, who comes at the cry of the poor and distressed...Beware of him! Repeat him to son and daughter, to great and small; relate him to generations of generations who have not yet come into being; relate him to fishes in the deep, to birds in heaven; repeat him to him who does not know him and to him who knows him ... Though it may be that the servant is normal in doing wrong, yet the Lord is normal in being merciful. The Lord of Thebes does not spend an entire day angry. As for his anger – in the completion of a moment there is no remnant ... As thy Ka endures! thou wilt be merciful!
All gods are three: Amun, Re and Ptah, whom none equals. He who hides his name as Amun, he appears to the face as Re, his body is Ptah.
The tempest moves aside for the sailor who remembers the name of Amon. The storm becomes a sweet breeze for he who invokes His name ... Amon is more effective than millions for he who places Him in his heart. Thanks to Him the single man becomes stronger than a crowd.

playing Pontus in Total War: Rome Remastered has surprisingly been the most enjoyable experience I've had in the game.
the early game is the hardest I've had. after failing in the short campaign twice, my third run found using diplomats to sell map info for every sestertius I could get gave me the funding necessary to power out of the early game with armies that could actually do something. that and securing trade deals and alliances with as many neighbors as I could manage set me up to build a small empire before exterminating city after city on the march to 15 provinces with Thrace and Armenia crushed
enraptured, I jumped straight into the long campaign
same opening strat, raising armies with my map money, sending diplomats far and wide. but a major hiccup in this run, everyone refused an alliance save for Egypt, and they didn't even bother to fight anyone else aside from, best as I can tell, taking one Numidian and one Seleucid town
and all those folks refused to ally with me, instead allying with each other and almost simultaneously all declaring war. at one point I was actively at war with Greece, Seleucia, Macedonia, Armenia, and Thrace. I managed to knock Thrace out only for Dacia and Scythia to jump me shortly thereafter
but one by one I managed to fend off my attackers in some truly desperate defenses as my offensive armies took an eternity to consign them each to oblivion in turn. one of my favorite defenses saw me sally forth with 400 light cavalry, knocking out 4 of 6 Scythian battering rams but losing all my horse in trade. but it was exactly what I needed as then the walls were breeched in only two places and my 4 phalanxes massacred the assaulting forces. even just one more successful ram would have turned that into a defeat
I've also had to do similar but without the cavalry: just a small horde of eastern spearmen rushing from my gates to take out a ram so that my single phalanx can post up at one opening and repel the invaders
overall it's just made every battle, every settlement, and every unit feel immensely more important. I've since pushed through to the mid/late game and it's a little bit more like a more typical game of Rome now, but there are still some intensely close battles because overall my troops still have a lot of weak units. also with the early diplomat rush I now have more diplomats spread more widely than ever before with bribe money to spare. I've "gone to war" with my Egyptian ally by bribing Memphis and Thebes without gaining their ire yet
also have encountered some errors I haven't seen before. once defended against a siege force only for them to turn around and attack again the next turn, without taking a turn to build any equipment in between. the game loaded the battle map and the enemy army just turned and ran, lifting the siege, because they didn't actually have any means to break my walls
also at one point my bank account had nearly $70k in it and I took a look at the graphs and saw something odd. the Scipii were down to 3 provinces, one of which I had under siege--at their height I believe they had 6 or 7 provinces, so still not a lot--and yet the finances graph showed them with nearly $160k in the bank. definitely more than double my own position on the graph. had they just been stockpiling gold since the start of the game? why not spend more of that on war?
just a surprisingly enjoyable campaign that's made me approach the game in some new ways I never would have considered before. doing more with less, especially in the early game, aware that everything matters then
#did do a bit of save scumming#mostly just to try to auto resolve a battle#then go back and fight it manually if the autoresolve didn't work out for me#would take the result of the manual battle#it's mostly about saving time for battles I didn't think would be particularly fun#there are enough work battles in this and it takes long enough as is

According to numerology.com (LINK in my IG Stories) “You spent 2022 getting closer to people as you lived through the relationship-oriented energy of the 6 year, but there’s a very different vibration calling you in the 7 energy of 2023. The 7 is all about introspection and coming to better terms with yourself on a spiritual level. This might not sound very exciting, and in fact it might not look that way from the outside, but that doesn’t mean you won’t have important moments in 2023, simply that they are of a less obvious nature. You’re undergoing a number of personal shifts as you acclimate to your life.” #2023 #777 #happymonday #mystique #spiritique #repost @moonandcactus • @withrepost ✨2023, THE YEAR OF 7✨ 2023 broken down is 7. 7 is a very powerful number in the universe! There are 7 colors in the rainbow, 7 days a week, 7 wonders of the ancient world, 7 deadly sins, 7 stars & 7 stones, 7 ages of man(Shakespeare), 7 against Thebes, 7 sages of Greece, 7 hills of Rome, etc..I could go on.. According to numerology, the number 7 symbolizes the bridge between the human world & the spiritual world.. Number 7 is related to spirituality & mysticism & is a symbol of inner strength, persistence, endurance, & perseverance. In Tarot, the # 7 is associated with, The Chariot. More on this in another post😘 The number 7 is a symbol of everything that lies within us & the greater possibilities that we could unlock with persistence & devotion. In 2023, we should enrich our lives by reconnecting with our spiritual side & awaken to a new era. By living more presently, we raise our potential to achieve the impossible. The number 7 is considered a positive number that brings good luck. It promises us abundance as long as we work hard for it. In retrospect, 2023 will be a unique & entirely new dimension that acts as a bridge between what we want & what we are physically capable of achieving. 2023 is a year that encourages us to fulfill our life’s purpose & to go after what prior years haven't allowed us to do. We have great opportunity here. May we not blow it 🙏 Affirm: My truest potential lies in the present moment. Happy Saturday / Sunday! Love you all 💗 https://www.instagram.com/p/CmEArSySUhl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
