Yes, and once you actually line things up, the “Zephyrus = jealous murderer” take starts looking… extremely overstated

So far Ive managed to scrape together:

at least 2–3 surviving sources where Zephyrus is not mentioned at all

1–2 sources where a wind exists but Zephyrus specifically does not

1-ish indirect reference (something about a more aggressive wind that people associated more with boreas)

1 clear, explicit source Zephyrus as a jealous lover, the Famous One™, by Ovid (+ maybe 1–2 later retellings copying it)

But of course, Ovid is Roman, writing centuries later, and loves moralized jealousy narratives. He’s hugely influential on modern retellings, which is why this version dominates fandom

Like what do you mean "yandere"?? Isn't he literally described as the kindest and most gentle of the four winds?

Apollo has done many horrible things and he's still a fan favorite but Zephyrus kills one guy and now he's just nothing else?? And it's only like one version of the myths too

I pisses me off so bad i just CAN'T 😭

Oizys and Momus: ✨smoll✨ addition

that's it, that's the post

Edit; i just realised momus is flipped the wrong way...

Fixed it (kinda):

The og version of this drawing had very poor quality and a few technical difficulties which I really wanted to fix. So i did ~~try~~

I wish I could draw him...
