the Athenide obsession is so real

Percy, after playing Baldur’s Gate: 🎶down down down by the river🎶

Dionysus and Asclepius:

Meanwhile Perse is at school and wondering why the art kids keep taking photos of her.

She's born from the fountain and says "I'm Percy Elena" and her new mother says "This is Perselena, my newborn daughter. Also Poseidon's but that doesn't matter, Father."

She's like mid-teens 16 physically but Perse sees how they look at her and she doesn't have actual memories here but more like ill portents/a prophetic danger sense/"I have a bad feeling about this" so she deages herself to age 12, like TLT Percy.

She has ink black hair, and agean blue eyes (the actual shade, dark sea blue) , a sandy complexion and looks like she's planning how to stab you. Zues decides on the half-year custody in Athens itself. Currently she looks like a child so no one asks for her hand in marriage. Also she was born naked but used the water to cover up and manifested a sword in her hand- it's named riptide when she gets asked what's it's name. Poseidon says she's responsible for currents because of the sword, and Athena says "as I am goddess of all that makes a city civilized, my daughter is the waters of the city that the people drink, of wells and fountains" so Perselena is goddess of currents and the wells of the polis.

Perse goes to Atlantis, gets adopted by Amphitrite, and Nerites, comes back to Olympus saying " I have to do this, I'm very strong" to herself. But she makes friends with Artemis (new goddess=potential huntress) and Kore, goddess of greenery. Both are maiden/almost maiden goddess, childlike, and her aunts so Athena goes thes are the best friends my daughter can have. Also by hanging out with Artemis, Apollo and Hermes become her friends too. The westmark effect kicks in and eliminates Perpollo and Permes.

At one year old, she realises she's the goddess of loyalty, by asking her tata why exactly he slept with someone whose not mama or uncle Nerites. She can sense the breaking of the loyalty between them basically, because Poseidon forgot to ask his wife and his bf if he could sex up this random mortal. 6 months later she befriends Aphrodite because love and loyalty are interconnected and she needed someone to teach her how to manage her domain. Hephestus and Ares decide to get in on the friendship train. Currently Ares is only a simp and a good bro and they're recently married and have no kids. Ares and Perselena spar, she asked, she ends up stabbing his heel to win and comes into her domains of tatical decisions , naval war, and swordsmanship. Athena: that's my baby!

Domains right now: loyalty, naval war,tatical decisions, swordsmanship, currents and the wells of the polis.

_____________________________________________

first myth is: she's bathing in a stream in mount pelion at age 2.The stream has a lot of trumpet flowers growing near it. A few random demigods run up the mountain to get away from hellhounds and get tangled in the vines.the demigods think she's a baby nymph who can't defend herself- she looks 8 right now- and make a stand. She sees them face the hellhounds and yell at her to run so she defends them by manifesting her Hephestus made armour and soul sword. She blesses the mountain to be impregnable by evil spirits and monsters because she has A Feeling about this.Thalia's barrier basically.The kids decide she's their's, want to start a training Camp, but she says build a city so Polias Iroikos or just Iroikos is born. She gets Chiron here, and also employs nymphs and stayrs and former heroes that don't have cities to rule as teachers. 6 months later everyone has heard of Perselena whose devoted so much time into making a training camp and city for heroes to live in that they make her goddess of heroes.

Their camp big house has a temple to her underneath, a man-made cove with water upto your knees, and there's a statue of her with a relief carving of like all her current symbols behind her. So like you go in through a spiral staircase, end up in a cave, and opposite to the staircase is a statue of the goddess Perselena, armoured and holding a sword and looking like teenager because she wanted more of an adult figure effect, and on the walls you have sharks, blue dragons, an orange tree with fruit, bluebell plants, a beaver group in a dam on the right wall, albatrosses in flight, and her newest symbols, trumpet flowers and koalas(there in in the nearby forest valley, perse and kids play with them). Also the floor has knee height sea water on it. The sacrifice flame is blue and placed at the statue's feet, held in a round plate. Right behind the statue there's a door to a bedroom for Perselena.

She's 3 by that time.

2nd myth: she goes to Athens to see her new, fourth- ever temple( first one in Athens is more of a shrine near her fountain, second in Atlantis is a mansion for her with the temple area being her greeting hall/PR office, third the iroikos one), this is more of a proper temple. She notices there's lots sick people and they're praying to her. She finds out the water is poisoned. There is a dead girl in the main city well. The dead girl's spirit accuses a nobleman of rape and murder. Perse terrifies him into confessing and turns him into water lettuce and plants it in the well, and it purifies the water . The girl spirit, named Iriphonte,says that's too much of an honor,and Perse says she'll honor Iriphonte as well, and turns her dead body into the first water iris plant. This plant also purifies water. Perse attends Iriphonte's funeral and is nice to Thanatos when he comes to collect her.

She's 4 years old.

3rd myth: Ithaca is being founded. Arcesius and Entegones are cousins through their mothers, both princesses of Aeolia , daughters of Cretheus, granddaughters of Aelous, son of Hellen. Both of them received a prophecy to build a city on the island of Ithaca, and are now fighting over it the island. Arcesius, son of Zeus, is one of the demigods who started Polias Iroikos, and so he prays to his goddesss and she answers him. Two years of war later, Arcesius wins and makes Perselena the patron of Ithaca. He has her a huge temple built. He marries Ilona, daughter of Hermes, also one of the first Iroikos demigods.Their group also had Theritophonte, daughter of Ares,and Silias, son of Pan. ( Are you getting the references?) Both of them remained in camp as instucters. Also he has her statue made out of turquoise. Because of participating in this war, she makes friends with Thanatos whenever he shows up to a funeral.

She's 7 by this point.

She goes to Atlantis once they make her temple in Ithaca. Her sister Benthyskime makes her a new statue of Aquaparse for her new temple somewhere in Africa. It becomes one of her undersea symbols.

When Perselena turns 10, Kore of the greenery goes missing, but for a year no one except her mom is worried, because maybe Kore ran away? Demeter is very strict and Kore has been getting fed up with her. Demeter's neglect of her domain starts, and a year later people start thinking something's up.Artemis and Apollo are cynics, once Kore doesn't show up even after people die,they decide that something/someone happened to her, and they send their favoured away to Hyperborea, where summer never ends. Then Artemis preserves biodiversity by making sure only 1 in 10 hunts succeed. Other gods also start removing their domains from people. The war gods start wars separately.Perse gets every demigod who listens to her to Iroikos where her barrier is modified into a pocket dimension on top of pelion, like Olympus and Othrys and Eta.Helios tells Demeter about Hades at the end of year two, and Winter starts because Zeusrefuses to ask Hades to give Kore back. By the time Perse is 14, everyone is mourning Kore. Except Zeus which Hephestus notices and he goes to the fates and convinces them to talk.Because all four of them are members of the rejected legitimate children club with Kympoleia, the fates tell him Zeus permitted Kore's bridenapping.So Hephestus takes away his gifts from mortals, and tells Aphrodite.Ourania Pandemos declares that no mortal may have sex from now on, until she lifts her curse, to prevent more winter babies. Perse asks Aunt Hestia to come with her and see Hestia's temple in Iroikos. And so Zeus feels true winter just as Demeter comes in and asks again. Zeus aquises to her demands and says he'll order Hermes to carry a message to Hades. Hades says no. They send another message, and this time 15 year old Perselena and Artemis Agortera follow Hermes to the underworld.They sneak into the castle and find Kore. Kore names herself Persephone, bringer of death, when they tell her everything that's happened in the last 5 years,also says she needed a new name anyway because she's not a maiden anymore.

Kore's story: She got kidnapped in her flower fields, but Hades did not tell her Zeus had given her hand to him. He was a polite kidnapper, and got her nectar and ambrosia from the surface.He was nice, charming and interested in her.He was also her only sentient contact in the last 5 years, because no one else talked to her-Thanatos said hello when he saw her but otherwise Hades was her only option for two sided conversations. Also he let her have power in his lands to convince to become his Queen. So she broke and slept with him. And kept sleeping with him, until last month when Hermes arrived and she overheard him talk to Hades about the fact he had permission from her father to bridenap and marry her. By having sex, they were now married by law, since they had the married-in spouse's father's permission, blessing from Zeus (husband of Hera who can substitute for her in weddings as god of law), and consumation. Perse has a Feeling about this and asks Artemis to check Persephone's health. Persephone is 3 months pregnant. They freak out about this until Hades shows up at Persephone's door to beg her to come out. The two maidens escape out a window, get caught by Thanatos, who escorts them out and has a conversation with them about being a virgin deity. It takes 3 more months for Hades to let Persephone out. Perse and Artemis have informed Olympus of the renaming by that time so no one deadnames Seph. So as it happened, when Hermes showed up to escort her out, Persephone went into labour, gave birth to Zagreus in Elysium, got carried to the castle with her baby by Hades so a healer could check her over, and when told she would have to leave her baby in the underworld, she marched out to the garden Hades had made to appease her, cracked open a pomegranate and ate 6 seeds. Then she came to Olympus. She's proud of herself when she tells the gods what happened. Zeus declares she'll spend six months of the year in the underworld. Also declares her Queen of Erebeus.She goes back to tending to the fields and becomes spring. Everyone lifts their curses.

As it stands,autumn and winter are also when Perselena is on the surface so the seas rage in the cold seasons.

Zagreus grows quickly and within three years is known as the god of violent death and rebirth. He makes friends with Perse as well, when he's collecting her heroes, and at first she doesn't even realise he's Zagreus and not a son of Nyx. His closest friend is Thanatos, because they're both psychopomps. Hermes is only sometimes a psychopomp so they're not close. Zagreus marries Thanatos a few decades after his birth and lives HEA.

Helios fades quietly after the winter ends, and Rhode throws a party. If Perse is wearing an ichor stained dress, no one says anything and just agree with her when she lectures them on loyalty.

Hera wishes Perse was her daughter instead, just for her fierce defense of loyalty in marriage.

______________________________________________

ONCE UPON A TIME, Poseidon and Hera were stuck together in their father's stomach and dreamed of nice things, like their children marrying each other. Sometime later, when Poseidon was the bachelor king of the seas and Hera was fostering with Tethys, they had a conversation. Poseidon promised Hera she could have a child of his anytime she wanted.

When Perselena is 22, Olympus has a winter solistice party. Perselena decides she would like to look older than 13 now and takes on a 16 year old form.

Marriage offers start flowing in. Poseidon and Athena say no to all of the minor gods coveting their double Olympian daughter.

That summer solstice, Hera tells Poseidon, publicly, that she'd like that daughter now.

"Didn't you say I could have a daughter of yours anytime I wanted?"

"Yes but-"

"No buts,brother. I want a daughter of yours to be my daughter as well. Let us share Perselena, who is loyalty as I am fidelity, and who has many parents besides, by making her my daughter in law."

So Hera gets Perse's hand in marriage for Ares, her only unwed son. Lots of protests from everyone but she bulldozes, Zeus supports her, and Poseidon allows it as Perse's father. He'd promised Hera and was stuck.

At this point in time, Eros is a 7 year old, Daphne happened 6 years ago, and Eros is Hephestus's. Ares and Aphrodite have started their affair with Hephestus's permission and support, because Perselena's interference led to their relationship being a v-style polyamorus triad, like Poseidon,Amphitrite and Nerites.

The wedding itself is perfect. The bridal couple picks uninhabited Hydrea Island as the location for the wedding. Hera officiates. They have a joint temple built to them on the edge of the beach. Perse and Ares both pick mortals to inhabit Hydrea and get a city started. They get married in their shared temple, all gods attending, and as wedding gifts from Zeus,Hera, Poseidon and Amphitrite, statues of them in wedding attire are erected in the temple. Notable gifts include a shield with a nine headed hydra on it from Hephestus to Perse (he was bothered by her lack of a shield), a shield for Ares from Hephestus as well, Athena gifts them matching imperial gold knives, Nerites gives them an aquarium in their temple, Aphrodite gives them matching clamyses made from drakon skin, Iris gives them her newly crafted diamond prisms so they can use her messaging system easily, Apollo and Artemis give Perse a chariot pulled by albatrosses, Persephone and Hades give Ares his flamming skeleton horse herd and Perselena the most shiny, gemstones in clay girdle ever.

Perselena gives Ares a new sword, which he uses from then on. Ares gifts Perselena the domain of Resilience.

And then the newlyweds are bullied into honeymooning on Hydrea. Hera wants more grand babies.

They do not consumate their marriage, because they are going to get an annulment in a century or so, once Hera realises she is not getting grandchildren from them. They do negotiate their relationship. He and Aphrodite are staying together, but if he has any other lovers or children Perse needs him to tell her and Hephestus before the gossips and tell Aphrodite before he starts a romantic fling with that person. Perse is currently not looking for a lover, and doesn't know if she ever will want one, but Ares can shovel talk them if she finds one.

______________________________________________

Prince Hyacinthus of Sparta, son of Clio, is an archeologist, art historian and antique restorer. Even as a small child, he was very interested in archeology and antique restoration, and used his princely tittle to go to archeology digs and learn from professionals. By age 10, he was the leading archeologist in west-southern greece. With published papers and expert verification. Then his father Amyclus decided to go conquering, and brought him along. From age 10 to 14, he was involved in the conquest of Agios Petros, Kastanista,and Kosmas as a commander. Afterwards, Clio decided to send him to Iroikos for a year or two so he would recover. There he learned art history as a scholary subject and devoured it at Clio's urging. When he was 15, he heard that one of Apollo's thousand year old paintings was being left to rot in an abandoned temple. Apollo had gifted a son of his in Cyprus a painting of his own birth, and now that there was no clear owner the painting was the royal family's, who just left it. Hyacinthus went to Cyprus and stole it, but unfortunately he was caught by Apollo, who asked him what he was doing while disguised as a priest. Apollo heard Hyacinthus's rant on preservation of art and historic significance of paintings, revealed himself and asked meet up again so he could hear more.

At first Apollo just wanted to know what the prince was doing, thought it was interesting, and kept meeting with him. They now argue over the arts, philosophy and entertainment fiction like novels and plays. Apollo is dragged along to Hyacinthus's archeology digs, baggered into giving his account of history, proofreads Hyacinthus's books on archeology and findings from his restored antiques, and takes the man on hunts, sun chariot rides , athletic games, and shephearding as well. He is in love. Hyacinthus has started a museum in Sparta for his findings, and the antiques he restored, and also all the paintings he's stealing. Apollo keeps catching him in the act and they've made it into a date night activity.

Back when he was in Iroikos, he was asked out by Boreas and Zephyrus, who thought he was handsome.He is but Apollo thinks he's interesting,which is more important. Two years ago, Zephyrus tried to kidnap him when they were in the same area at the same time. Hyacinthus spent two years in Polias Iroikos,he is Clio's son, and a Spartan prince, Zephyrus foolishly underestimated him and got a spear through the stomach for his troubles.

Hyacinthus is still known as the handsomest man in the world, and people throw themselves at him regularly. He has blue-black curly hair in a military cut, copper brown eyes, terra cotta skin, and the most well formed features anyone has seen. He's very masculine, in a military trained archeologist way. So spearman muscles, traditionally masculine features and dressed in a clamys mostly, and carries around paper and ink.

Hyacinthus is twenty right now, and he said yes to Apollo's proposal to get married but they need Hera's approval to actually get married.

Perse and Ares are Hera's favourite children right now, so Apollo goes to them and asks for support.

Perselena and Ares are on week 3 of their honeymoon and are treating it as vacation time. But there are only so many times you can frolick in the woods, on the beach, spar, or improve your new city before it gets boring enough that you'll like to cause a disaster.

Apollo's marriage petition is something for them to do. So they help.

Perselena has Apollo start a survey and get people to support him in the council, they get all the Olympians except the kronides to sign in support of Apollo. Also a lot of minor gods such as the muses, Perselena, Kore, Hera's daughters, the sea kids(Triton, Rhode,Kympoleia, Benthyskime, Herophile, Anteros, Despione, and Arion) signed as well.

[Amphitrite is Triton, Rhode and Kympoleia's mother. Anteros, Benthyskime,and Herophile are Nerites's children. Despione and Arion are Demeter's.]

Next Hyacinthus gets his parents' written agreement to his marriage.

On the solstice, Ares and his new wife attend the council.

Apollo waits until the party starts, Clio brings her son with her to the party, and then he publicly petition petitions Hera to agree to his marriage. She dithers so he threatens to neglect his duties, stop raising the sun and mourn Hyacinthus dramaticly if he dies. Hera gives in.

Apollo has a wedding worthy of an Olympian in Amykles city. There Hyacinthus drinks from the chalice of the gods and becomes God of Archeology, Art History and Antique Restoration.

_____________________________________________

The myth of Asklepios:

In Phlegyantis in Thessaly, the princess Koronis had sworn to her lover Apollo to remain faithful to him. This was many decades after his marriage to Hyacinthus.

Apollo was so busy that he did not visit for a month, and when he did so he saw, in the form of a crow, that she was laying with Ichys, her closest friend. Apollo fled away and cried to his sister Artemis while she was frolicking in the woods with Areia and Calliope. Agortera in her rage shot with an arrow the princess from the forests of Thessaly. Perselena Pronoea thought there may be consequences to this and rushed to the princess and discovered the disloyal lover was 6 months pregnant.

The resilient one pitied her cousin and so kept the princess's heart beating while she was transported to a nearby temple. There Apollo cut the womb open and took out his son Asklepios. The child would die being mortal if left outside the womb, so the god fashioned himself one and placed Asklepios there.

Asklepios was born properly 3 months later during a council meeting, and the panic of the gods when Apollo gave birth is only comparable to their shock at Athena's birth.

_____________________________________________

Perse and Ares:

Ares and Perselena became best friends a few years into marriage.

They had the habit of taking a childish form and playing with kids in their patron cities.

They had many duels, atleast one every week, and after the spars they'd go eat something. In modern times they would be that food vlogging couple who started their search for a new restaurant after leaving the gym.

They would start minor wars for fun and pick a side to compete against each other.

All of Ares's kids liked Perse, and if they were very young when they came to Iroikos, they called her Mother, and otherwise she was Eustoqia. To Phobos and Deimos she was stepmother.

When Arss murdered Halirrchous for the rape of Alcippe, Perse was on his side. Also experiencing a sexuality crisis because 'I'm not asexual?'. Ares looks very handsome being an unrepentent murderer of everyone who hurt those he was loyal to.

Perselena investigated her sexuality by staring alot. Ares caught on in an year or so and decided to talk to her.

They were both in love with each other at this point.

Renegotiate of their marriage, because neither of them wanted to hurt each other.Ares would ask before acquiring a lover, and she was fine sharing with Aphrodite and Hephestus. She would ask if she ever found a lover. Both of them were allowed to shovel talk each other's lovers.

They did not jump to having sex. They started courting and five years later they had proper, petals on the bed and candlelight on the table sex.

Post rebellion of the gods, they had Alala, goddess of the war cry. The next day Paris chose Aphrodite for the apple.

______________________________________________

Notable myth appearences:

Hephestus got very drunk and cuddled Athena, and from she wiped off his sweat with a cloth covered in her sweat and then threw it on the ground. When she came back to her temple an hour later there was a baby on the ground. She took care of the baby, Perse came in and asked what she was doing with a mortal baby, and Athena told her what had happened so Perse went and yelled at Hephestus while he was on a date with Aphrodite and Ares (they're going full polyam at this time). RIP Hephestus, whose wife, boyfriend and bf's wife are mad at him, and who has a kid with his crush/fav sister. He begs at Athena's door for forgiveness, doesn't meet his kid until the 10 year old asks who father is, and he has to be celibate for the entirety of the kid's life because upset wife,upset bf and no random person wants to incur Aphrodite's warth.

The daughters of Kekrops thing happens.Erichthonius is a girl until he's 9, and comes out to his parents+assorted family, and Athena gets Apollo to fix him.

A decade after Erichthonius dies, Hephestus and Ares get back together and create Harmonia, goddess of concord.

Psyche happens, and then Eros happens. Here Eros doesn't have Zephyrus as a servant but he does have automatons. The story of Eros and Psyche is altered because Eros had Perse around to be his aunt and so it goes better. When the thesipae royals start their blasphemy, Eros goes and talks to Psyche disguised as a random storm spirit who Psyche nicknames Kalos.They fall in love. When her father gets the prophecy and leaves her in the tower she apologises to Kalos and jumps off before some monster can marry her.Eros saves her, takes her to his castle in Split, and they continue their ship. A year later, Psyche is still anxious about the prophecy so Eros reveals himself and tells Psyche he's her monster. Psyche gets in contact with her family to reassure them that she's going to be fine. She tells them she's married to Eros now but not to tell anyone because Aphrodite will be angry that her son has grown up.Also that Psyche is alive. Psyche's sisters get jealous and tattle on her by praying to Aphrodite. Aphrodite bursts into Split one day while Psyche is away, kicks her out and puts him on house arrest. While Hephestus and Ares try to get her to be reasonable about this, Psyche murders her sisters, cleans temples of Demeter and Hera, prays to them about her fate.She ends up at a temple of Aphrodite and prays to her and says she'll prove herself worthy. The three quests happen, Psyche almost dies but Perse pours the chalice down her throat in time, and two months later Hedone is born.

Perse saved Medea's children from the mob and returned them to her when she resettled.

Had Danae serve as one of her priestesses in Seriphos and blessed the marriage of Perseus and Andromeda when she announced it.

Harmonia and Cadmus got married, she blessed the necklace Hephestus made to bring prosperity when worn by a loyal couple. Cadmus cheated, was turned into a snake for killing his brother in law, and Harmonia spent her life as a mortal and died.But the necklace was cursed because Cadmus cheated and it brought ruin on all those who wore it.

Found Dionysus when he was 15 post the creation of the grape and took him to camp. Had the thrysus made for him and convinced Ares to teach him to fight with it. Sent him to conquer India at age 25. He came back and started the wine cult. Post Thebes has him checked over by Apollo because he's glowing. Post ascension they stayed friends, and Dionysus was the one to tittle her Eustoqia ( good mother, foster mother).

When the entire Adonis affair happened, she tried to get her friends to be more reasonable.Ares doesn't kill Adonis, that's just a random boar.

Otrera had three daughters by Ares. And when they were 5,4,and 2 years old, she died. The children Ares took to Polias Iroikos, where Eryma Iroikos took them as her own and nutured the three sisters. Hippolyta she taught the sword and gave her Kore-gifted girdle to and so it became the girdle of the Amazons. Antiope she gave a dagger she had been gifted at her wedding and had her trained in knife fighting by Rhanis of the hunt. Penthislea she gave a set of cyclops made armour to and taught the sword. Perselena sent them off on their own when Hippolyta was 20, and they founded the Amazons.

Alcippe happens just after the Amazons leave.

When Theseus left Ariadne she yelled at him. Then she had Dionysus check on Ariadne because she was in Naxos. Dio and Ariadne ended up falling in love and thanked her for matchmaking them.

Theseus kidnapped Antiope. Hippolytus prayed to his grandparents who swooped in, got both of them out and back in the Amazons. Perse went and got him disowned by Poseidon because he was a disloyal, oathbreaking rapist who fucked her daughter, left her pregnant,and then after her death kidnapped her second daughter . Also refused to set foot in Athens while he was king. But killing kings without impiety as cause is a no-no so they can't murder him.

Gave Zoe her sword because some people were harassing her. Then Zoe gave it to Herakles.

Brought Herakles to Hera. Who decided to foster him but Zeus told Hera the child's parentage a year later and so he was returned to Alcemene. When Herakles killed Hippolyta she cursed him to be betrayed. Herakles tried asking for Hebe's hand in marriage but Perse raised a fuss about how disloyal he was and so he remained unwed. Sometime later he tried assaulting Perse and she threw him down Olympus and he landed on the pillars of herakles.

Here Asklepios doesn't die, Hyacinthus adopts him and after Herakles's ascension they ask him to be ascended. The cure is never used, because Hippolytus is an amazon now.

Sometime after this, Penthislea and Hebe bond over Herakles's crap behavior and have a thing.Post breakup Penthislea is blessed with very slow aging, so that's why she's still young at troy.

Zeus kidnaps Ganymede and sires Helen, Castor and Polyduces

The rebellion of the gods happens, all the non participating Olympians and their relatives end up in house arrest while the others are punished mythologically. While the walls of troy are being built, Hera confesses that it was Perse who made her think of rebelling. She was talking about civil wars with Enyo and said if a king wasn't upholding loyalty to his kingdom then people rebel and remake a kingdom. And then she started talking about democracy. Zeus doesn't believe Perselena was intentionally inciting rebellion or anything like that she's too innocent for that and the children he raised with Hera are too loyal to ever do so. But he hasn't properly punished Athena either so Perse gets thrown into Tartarus for a year or so. She comes back with gray streaks in her hair and she killed Aklys. Who reforms in PJO Era.

Athena adopts Odysseus of Ithaca and Perse does her older sister duties.

Helen is kidnapped by Theseus and Perse saves her. She, Castor,Polyduces and Penelope go to Iroikos for a few summers.

Thetis marries Peleus and has a son, Achilles. Perse has a Feeling about this and shows up to improve his character. Is the favourite older cousin who officiates his marriage to Patroclus. Phyrrus doesn't exist because he never has sex with anyone other than Patroclus. Achilles presents very femininely all his life and Odysseus gets a headache trying to catch him out. As war prep, Thetis has him bathe in the Styx and he becomes invenerable. Also Patroclus is his lifeline.

The apple discourse only includes the Queen, Love and Wisdom, Perse suggests Thetis have it since it's her wedding but everyone ignores her, and she's not an option.

Helen marries Meneleus. Penelope marries Odysseus, Perse gets them their marriage bed with the olive tree, and it becomes a symbol of loyalty.

Alala is born.Paris chooses Aphrodite.

Two years later, Eros shoots Helen with an arrow of love and she agrees to run away with Paris. She leaves Meneleus a note that includes the fact she's been shot by Eros and that Aphrodite promised her to him.

Trojan war is less brutal. No one kills a child under 10, the whole Trolius prophecy is never given, Greeks and Trojans pay for POWs at the end of every year.Iphegenia still dies but Artemis didn't order it. Achilles is more like Hades Game Achilles, a good boy with morals. He doesn't quit over Hippodamia because he didn't take her in, she was Agamemnon's prisoner from the start. Patroclus was killed by Hector in normal battle, after killing some of the other princes of troy. Achilles went mad, kidnapped Hector after beating him almost to death and cutting off both his arms, put him a coffin and left him in front of the walls of troy. He suffocated to death but he had a proper funeral when a sentry opened the coffin to check. Then Paris kills him because Apollo is angry at him. The arrow wore off on Helen and she plotted, and when the Trojan horse happened she stabbed Paris to death and went out to meet Meneleus. Andromache and Astanyx were cornered by soliders so they prayed to Perse, even though she was on the greek side, for help. She turned them into albatrosses and they flew away and lived as birds.

Ares and Perselena absolutely used the Trojan war as a rivalry competition. Perse was on the greek side and Ares on the roman side.

The oddessy is an accident here. Odysseus wanders into the Sea of Monsters, goes through all the checkpoints but doesn't tell Polymepheus his name so isn't cursed by Poseidon. Doesn't sleep with Circe only stays a day or so to restock but does get enchanted by Calypso. He's Odysseus son of Anticlea of the hunt, granddaughter of Hermes, and Laertes son of Arcesius son of Zeus and Ilona daughter of Hermes, the enchantment breaks after 3 years and he builds a boat and finds his crew. He gets back 6 years later. The murder of the suitors happens.

______________________________________________

Perselena lives to WW2. Lots of demigods and heroes die, many betrayals happen and she starts fading. The great depression is going on and she has like a handful of mortal worshippers. She plots herself a possible way out. She turns herself mortal and only tells her closest friends about it, and tries to wait out her fading basically. She has pretty bad depression though. Ares tries to help and when he's there she pretends to be doing good. Just because she's physically mortal though doesn't mean the fading isn't there, only that she can stol it before it becomes fatal. One night she lets herself fade. Ares wakes up to see her slowly fading and calls in their family and she gets to say "I love you all and I'll miss you and goodbye everyone". She fades on 17th August 1950.

morticia and gomez addams

evelyn and rick o'connell

hera and kanan

they would have been the healthiest, the best, the most jaw dropping married couple.

they would be this cat family

Apollo at that one dinner: See Helios? this is how you're supposed to treat your wife. It's not as hard as you made it out to be. It's the easiest thing in the world. It's easier than breathing. See how Perse looks radiant? See how she embodies my light refracting on her waters? this is how a wife is supposed to look like Rhodes next to Perse, watching her ex husband get dragged: get him

Annabeth: namaste

Hebe: and you’re supposed to be dead

Definitely capture the flag would be the main source of contention since there are multiple reasons why you want Percy on your team

HOWEVER

another unforeseen area where people argue over Percy would be anything involving smol children: Arts and Crafts, sword instruction, anything involving the lake

'Truth comforts Loyalty'

It was quite positive, though hardly perfect. Kronos genuinely loves Perse and enjoys spoiling her. When she is a toddler, Kronos would sit her on his knee for some unimportant council meetings, but these interactions are coloured by his desire to shape his daughter into the perfect titan princess. He encourages Perse to be ruthless, calculating and commanding towards others, who she is taught are hers to rule by birthright. Even her friendship with Pallas, Leto and Hecate have this unspoken acknowledgement of royal hierarchy. Perse commands the group because she is the heir of Kronos, and while they might suggest things, the decision of what to do ultimately falls to her.

Y'all know that thing where either Hermes or Apollo step into the fountain while the Athenide is first born(that future historians or teens joking around on social media would call it the first attempt at craddle robbing in history) to look at the "newborn" and lowkey start flirting with her? I was thinking about that and I also thought that Arsinoe ended up swipping a knife from Hermes' belt so she could have something to protect herself and her sister with while Perse soaked Apollo with cold water and kicked him out of the fountain and away from where her naked sister is (she's also naked) (she doesn't think much about her own safety)

Just two newborn goddesses, one calculating with exact precision how much damaged she could do to you with the knife you have no idea she got that good with and the other with full control over their birth waters looking ready to drown a bitch bc they breathed a bit too wrong near her sister.

I got stuck on my own fanfic. lol I read and watched like 6 different retellings of the Semele/Dionysus origin myth. And that moment when Zeus showed his true face and Semele got to witness the purest form of divinity.

She woke me up in the middle of the night and I had to draw that moment when she Saw him.

For Perse

1) Ophelia: thank @chaoticdumbassrogue for using this one in her masterpiece 'Of The Fountain'. The name comes from the Ancient Greek word ōphéleia (ὠφέλεια), which means "benefit" or "aid", fitting perfectly with the generosity of Lady Athenide. The most famous use of this name was in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet who shares a tragic theme with Perseleia in the sense that like the Athenide, the nature of Ophelia's death stems from the fact that outside forces were fully responsible for her suffering. The difference being that whilst the Athenide exhausted her powers trying to cease the bloodshed, Shakespeare's Ophelia was powerless to resist them. This would be the title by which the camp half blood residents call her when not using 'the Athenide', mostly to beseech her spirit aid from wherever gods go when they fade.

2) Kore Elpidoros: this one I got from scrambling the little I know of Greek into google since elpis is greek for hope and doros is greek for gift. According to google translates it means hopeful daughter. However, kore was a term used for maidens and unmarried young women as a whole. This would be both a funerary and wedding title since young women in the eve of their weddings would ask Hera for stability, Aphrodite for passion and Perseleia for loyalty in their marriage. On a funerary context this would refer to either the hope lady Loyalty brings them to Elysium or the doomed lover tradition where she and Apollo would work to reunite couples denied marriage so others could have the happiness fate denied them.

3) Hirokamèni: contrary to what Stories from the Styx says, the greeks in their eternal love of definition do have a word specifically for bereaved mothers. A mother losing her child in greek is called "Χηροκαμαίνη" (Hirokamèni) which directly translates to "Burned by Charon". This version of the ebony Athenide conmemorates the death of Troilus and/or Asclepius. Mortals deeply respected it but never wished to use it for that would mean they too were parents who lost their children.

For both the twins

1) Dimitoras: an ancient greek title that translates into 'The One With The Two Mothers'. This would be in reference to the love both sisters received from Queen Amphirite, the wife of their father Poseidon, who cared for them as if she were their birth mother. Unlike Persephone, the twins were never motherless since they had Athena for their time spent above and Amphirite beneath Atlantis.

2) Aleksandra: this was a Mycenaean epithet of the Queen of the gods, Hera and as such is usually taken to mean "one who comes to save warriors". Here it could refer to how Loyalty and Reason accompany Wisdom in a military position or in relation to their psychopomp duties as they save the soldiers' souls and carry them away from the carnage below to a better place. The latter would be highly important during the Greco-Persian wars as naval warfare rose in prevalence so armies would be calling upon the Athenides to safeguard their spirits should their ships fall in battle.

3) Evánditos: Derived from the Ancient Greek word euantetos (εὐάντητος), this epithet means gracious and approachable. Traditionally used for Artemis due to her protection of young women and mothers. For the Athenide twins it would be used by demigods for Perseleia and by caretakers of orphaned children for Arsinoe.

For Arsinoe

1) Clementine: A feminne iteration of the greek word Klémés (Κλήμης) which means merciful and/or gentle. This is a title that surged during the Renaissance as humanists took an interest in the golden Athenide, whose endless compassion towards all creatures would serve as a stark contrast to the horrors of the dark ages but took its fiercest hold on the European mindset upon the French Revolution where poets and artists abroad would depict her either weeping at the atrocities or bravely squirreling people away. Andre de Chenier addresses himself as 'Aegis of Clementine' when writing his signature on 'La Jeune Captive', his last poem made in prison before being executed by guillotine on 1794.

2) Dadoukhos: Modernization of the ancient greek word (δᾳδοῦχος) meaning torch-bearer. This refers to Arsinoe carrying Hestia's gift of an ever burning torch made so the lady of the forsaken could lead the abandoned to her hearth through the darkest nights and fiercest storms. One can see Arsinoe Dadoukhos in the Statue of Liberty.

You know, I was just listening to Hamilton again recently, and I realized that the song "Theodosia" totally fits into the Athenide universe and the way Posedion and Athena see Athenide with a perfect amount of foreshadowing on Athenide's fate in the Athenide universe and how it effected her parents especially Athena.

Anyway, here's the song, "Theodosia" but Athenide version!

Posedion:

Dear Athenide, what to say to you?

You have my eyes, you have your mother's name

When you came into the world, you cried

And it broke my heart

I'm dedicating every day to you

Domestic life was never quite my style

When you smile, you knock me out, I fall apart

And to thought I was so strong

You will come of age with our young nation

We'll bleed and fight for you

We'll make it right for you

If we lay a strong enough foundation

We'll pass it on to you, we'll give the world to you

And you'll blow us all away

Someday, someday

Yeah, you'll blow us all away

Someday, someday

Athena:

Oh, Athenide, when you smile I am undone

My daughter, look at my daughter

Pride is not the word I'm looking for

There is so much more inside me now

Oh, Athenide, you outshine the morning sun

My daughter

When you smile, I fall apart

And I thought I was so smart

Posedion and Athena:

My father wasn't around (my father wasn't around)

I swear that I'll be around for you

Athena:

I'll do whatever it takes

Posedion:

I'll make a million mistakes

Posedion and Athena:

I'll make the world safe and sound for you

Will come of age with our young nation

We'll bleed and fight for you

We'll make it right for you

If we lay a strong enough foundation

We'll pass it on to you, we'll give the world to you

And you'll blow us all away

Someday, someday

Yeah, you'll blow us all away

Objects

net: to gather souls of the people who died/drowned at sea and carry them into the Underworld for judgement. something like this pin on pinterest if that makes sense? it's worn during winter when Perse is in the sea

flute: just the aesthetic of Perse playing her flute and comforting children who have died and unintentionally inspiring the Pied Piper myth of luring children away

handfastening cord: poor people and lovers eloping have a small ceremony if they can't afford to marry and they use cords to bind themselves in marriage. this is what Perse wears around her waist when participating in weddings with Hera and Artemis and what she wore around her waist after she herself eloped with Apollo

Keeping in mind that I declared my intent to read the Iliad three days ago and only got to page 6 of the foreward, my brief research tells me that Homer refers to Poseidon as 'earth enfolder' at one point, and to 'silver eyed Athena'. Easier to find are their official titles on the Percy Jackson wiki,

Athena: Goddess of Wisdom and Reason, Goddess of Strategy and Warfare, Goddess of Arts and Crafts, Patron of Heroic Endeavor, Defender of Cities, The Wise One, Gray Eyed Athena

Poseidon: God of the Sea, Storms, Earthquakes, Droughts, Floods, and Horses King of Atlantis The Earthshaker The Stormbringer Father of Horses

What sort of descriptions would be given to their daughter?

Sea eyed Athenide, Free spirited Athenide, Mostly Gentle Athenide, Honourable Perse, Dark haired Athenide, Kind hearted Athenide, Soft Hearted Athenide,

Foster Mother of Demigods, She who sails, Protector of Women, Defender and Patron of Demigods, Net caster, Gentle Flutist, The Calm before the storm,

Cleopatra: father’s pride

Cleomaia: mother’s pride

Ophelia: aid

Laughter-loving

Areia: war like 

Hippia: of the horses

Asfáleia: safety of sailors

The FLAVOUR!!! The POTENTIAL!!!

The Big Six mixed feelings about them, the uncanny feeling of seeing your parents in kids that look up to you

Jason doing everything to make Zeus proud, but nothing will ever be enough to get his attention and care because he'll always have the face of the person his father hates the most

But then, Percy is the mini Rhea, so even though Zeus hates Percy by default (because that's Poseidon's spawn), he can't stop but paying attention to whatever Percy is doing ALL THE TIME, because he looks like the person he loved the most in his life (before he became everything she despised)

Also, yeah, very nice Percy looks like mom 🥰🥰🥰 hey 🤨 wasn't mom the one to trick dad and ultimately start his downfall??? Maybe we should worry about that 🤔

Hera!!!!! Zeus gave her his DIY version of their father, and he's a mortal that she can rule as much as she likes. The emotional confusion of it all. And, hey, Poseidon just made a DIY Rhea? Yup, she's stealing it from him. Yay, time to play dolls with mom and dad, literally the closest thing she'll ever got from bonding time with her parents.

Luke having to listen to Kronos rant about how much Percy looks like his wife (creepy)

Krios looking at Jason before their fight like "Bro, why do you look fifteen? Weird."

Poseidon accidentally calling Percy mom and never talking about it again

Makes every time Percy complained about the gods sound like a Mom Scolding Time

Jason and Percy being at the same time and place with the Big Six and they're ALL uncomfortable
