"CYPRIA 7: ODYSSES OUTWITS ACHILLES"

Haunted by a prophecy that her son will die young at war, the sea-nymph Thetis disguises Achilles as a maiden named Pyrrha and hides him on the remote island of Skyros, where the lonely warrior bonds with the princess Deidameia, secretly marrying her and fathering a son. Back on the mainland, the seer Calchas divines through bird signs and entrails that Troy cannot fall without Achilles, and that he is hidden on Skyros. Odysseus sails to the island disguised as a merchant, laying out jewelry and weapons before the princesses, then signals a war trumpet to be blown, and Achilles alone reaches for the sword, tearing off his veil and revealing himself, for he was not made to live passively in secret among princesses. He embraces Deidameia one final time, promising not to forget their son, but they both know what the prophecy means, and he sets sail for Aulis, his heart lifting toward the horizon and the war to come.

1. He didn't want to watch the sea that claimed his son

2. It was becoming too painful for him to wake up and see his precious boy only to then be snapped into reality by the fact that it isn't his son but grandson. He loves Telemachus but his fragile mind can't handle reopening these wounds.

Eirene and Dike

Agave hey listen you should have listened to your sister

Themis, goddess of law

Quintus Smyrnaeus, Fall of Troy 13. 298 ff :

"Ay, wicked men never elude pure Themis (Divine Law) : night and day her eyes are on them, and the wide world through above the tribes of men she floats in air, holpen of Zeus, for punishment of sin."

Tried to make a somewhat accurate bronze age Dionysus statue 🥲✌️

So! My thought is that Percy is/would have been the god of environmentalism.

'Textual' evidence:

Percy (among others) was present when Pan died and spread out his essence. Part of the message behind Pan's death was that people (humans) have to take stewardship of nature, which is also the idea behind environmentalism.

Many of Percy's side tasks seemed to involve pollution or cleaning up pollution in some way. Admittedly, this could also point towards Grover's general character arc, but there are other incidents that only involve Percy.

Smelly Gabe is essentially described as the human embodiment of pollution.

Cleaning the stables.

The sand dollar side plot stuff.

One of his greatest failures (Bianca) taking place in a junkyard.

Being able to control poison (a form of pollution) in the encounter with Akhlys.

Gaea wanting his blood specifically for her awakening.

Phorcys (I think it was Phorcys but I'm bad with names, sorry if it isn't) wanting to keep Percy specifically in his aquarium.
