idk what the fuck renee has going on but i love her

bug game..............good

Here he is! Full Apollo design + some exploration of how the gods work in the retelling that exists only in my head 🙃

At first I wanted to make him 190 and 260cm tall but then I realised that people were much shorter in the ancient times.

Some info

Gods can be any hight they want but they do have their prefered hight (for both human desguise and godly form)

They can also make their eyes look normal (golden in Apollo's case) in God From but they prefere the glowing ones ✨️. Humans turned gods usually have a preference for human looking eyes tho (Asclepius, Aristaeus)

The True God form usually has some animal features (Artemis has antlers) or looks like they are made af an element (water for Posaidon, fire for Hestia and so on)

I'm still figuring things out so some of those might change in the future.

Not to get pedantic (oh who am i kidding that’s most of this blog) but I am genuinely fascinated by the potential applications of the established canon in HoO and TOA that the gods canonically have both historic and regional forms, and can appear as specific versions of those forms and have kids of those specific forms, which influence what powers the kid has/what pantheon they fall under/etc etc (and also the implication that demigods can be born under multiple forms of a singular deity). This is somewhat backed up even earlier in the first series when we’re told that Percy has earthquake powers because of his father being Poseidon “The Earthshaker” (which is Mycenaean Poseidon) - which could also tie into why Percy generally takes leadership roles, is hopping in and out of the Underworld a lot, and is apparently particularly powerful for even just a Big 3 kid, since all that would line up with Mycenaean Poseidon being generally put at the head of the pantheon and also being a chthonic deity.

Now this gets really interesting when we start looking at deities being combined and conflated, because a.) the Romans weren’t the only ones doing that and b.) the Romans had their own gods originally, they didn’t just take the Greek ones and slap a new name on them. They merged a lot with their own preexisting deities alongside adopting worship of deities from other cultures as the Romans spread (and the Greeks also did this), and c.) the ancient Greeks and Romans did exist at the same time.

Like, we know in terms of the Greeks and Romans that if their godly parents are “equivalent” then their demigod children are siblings, just like if Greek demigods have the “same” godly parent then they are also siblings. However, very few Greco-Roman gods are one-to-one, and a lot are like three gods in a trench coat, and then if you want to get into historical forms then you can start running into weird things like “Well, if you go back far enough, these two Greek gods may have originated from the same thing-” and also if we’re talking historical forms, again, the Greeks and Romans existed at the same time! Which means there would be historic forms of godly parents that are both Greek and Roman! So like, where do we go from there? Would Hazel be equally siblings to a child of Plutus as she is to Nico because both Hades and Plutus were conflated into Pluto? Orcus was also conflated with Pluto - does that mean when Nico killed Bryce Lawrence, he was killing his half-brother? (cause then that parallels just a couple chapters later when Will faces off against Octavian-) Are there demigods who, depending on their godly parents’ form(s), are technically both a Greek and Roman demigod? If Hermes and Pan possibly originated from the same god, does that mean all the satyrs are siblings with the Hermes kids? If we want to get into all the nonsense of Dionysus’ origins and Zagreus and Hades, does that mean Nico is technically siblings with Dionysus kids? Does Dionysus joke about this during their therapy sessions? Are some demigods in certain cabins siblings with kids in other cabins but each others’ siblings aren’t siblings depending on what form their godly parents were in?

I have a headache now.

Okay moment of truth:-

Odin - The All-Father

Not my usual religious content, everyone! Please see more for details.

This blog is mainly dedicated to Hellenic polytheism. I really love to keep all my religious things nicely sorted in different blogs here, but I don't have a norse pagan one (yet...?). I hope to fill this blog up with other art pieces of different Gods one day (or maybe create yet another one HAHAHA), but it's only wishful plans for now.

Please do check out my lovely partner, if you'd like to see more norse paganism content!

About the art itself - long story short one day I got inspired to draw Odin and that's what I'd love to share w y'all today!

hey, worshipers of lesser known, less worshipped or minor deities! this post is your invitation to ramble about them :]

ellen slamming her daughter's bully into a wall and threatening to kick her ass.......... i am in love

Real!!! Athena, badass in the arena, unmatched, witty, and queen of The best strategies we've seen!!!!

Hesperus as Personification of the Evening, 1765 - oil on canvas. — Anton Raphael Mengs (German, 1728–1779)

In Greek mythology, Hesperus is the Evening Star, the planet Venus in the evening. A son of the dawn goddess Eos, he is the brother Phosphorus (the Morning Star).

Realized I never posted my own piece from our valentine’s day zine! (it’s a bit late now lol but it’s okay) If you’d like to check out the project this piece is from, head on over to itch.io to download a copy of our lovecore themed original character zine!

personally i love the trinity of sol, galicaea, and helio. the father the son and the holy spirit but make it the sun, the lifeless rock that's only visible when it reflects the sun's light, and the cringefail monoculture that grows because of it

If I don't talk about demigod Pac, I will simply keel over and die, actually.

Pac was very nervous to meet Mine for the first time. It's always a bit nerve-racking to meet your best friend's partner, but this was also Pac's first time meeting a goddess outside of his family. What if she hates him? What if she thinks he isn't good enough for Mike due to his half godhood? The meeting went well, actually. The fact that Pac is demigod was never brought up. Mine doesn't particularly care that Pac's a demigod. After all, that's how he was made.

what if gods just didn’t blink? cause they don’t need to, so why would they? wouldn’t it add to the whole fear me, respect me vibe to just.. stare down someone without blinking?
