#deyanira

low quality as hell because i could notttt care less but i've decided this is how im introducing my ocs. hi

She was one of the wives of Heracles in Greek mythology, she was a beautiful princess daughter of King Eurytus of Oechalia, who had offered his daughter's hand in marriage, however he had rejected Heracles as his daughter's husband due to what had happened to Megara and his children, what did Heracles do? Simple, HE LOATED HER CITY, KILLED HER FAMILY AND TOOK IOLE AWAY BY FORCE, their love story was not an enjoyable one for Iole.

It doesn't help at all to see that in the artistic representations of iole she never looks happy and even looks a little scared, she was in a highly dangerous situation with a man who ripped her away from her family and took her as a trophy, and He did not settle with her and in that same period of time he began to court Deyanira😒

Now why am I talking about this character that almost no one remembers? Because I think it would have a lot of potential for Hades, specifically the second part where we meet Heracles personally.

We know that Heracles, being favored by the gods, can leave the underworld, and I imagine that at this moment there could be two paths for Iole:

1) she is alive and trying to rebuild her life: in mythology she left home with the eldest son of Heracles but I prefer to think that here she would stay single or with another man, this is the possibility that most favors Iole.

2) she is dead and with her family in the underworld: here comes the guilt that Heracles could feel upon seeing her again, she would be afraid of him and her family would have contempt for him, this is my favorite since it puts bad actions on the table of Heracles and shows the consequences it had on third parties.

I imagine that in both cases, as a sign of solidarity, Heracles would try to avoid running into Iole because 1) he recognizes the fear she must have of him and 2) he knows that he doesn't deserve to be near her after everything he put her through

Something else that I found interesting about Iole is that at no time did Deyanira try to get rid of Iole, she being the reason why Heracles stopped paying attention to her, knowing what jealous wives are like in Greek mythology, I was surprised not to find a story where Deyanira takes revenge on Iole or treats her badly.

My vision is that Deyanira is a girls girl and had no resentment towards Iole because she saw how sad she looked being with the murderer of her family, probably thanks to this she thought that if she made Heracles only love her she would leave Iole in peace or I would let her go at best.

The thing that make me believe this is the myth where iole makes heracles wear women clothes and she wears the clothes of the hero, heracles only wanted to flaunt his great deeds but deyanira told him to not keep talking and accept his place(i know that the most popular version is that the queen onfale did that but i like this one too bc iole in this version avenges her father's death)

What if we made iole and deyanira kiss?

Oigan...¿alguien se acuerda de iole?

Ella fue una de las esposas de heracles en la mitología griega, ella era una princesa hermosa hija del rey eurytus de oechalia, quien había ofrecido la mano de su hija en matrimonio, sin embargo había rechazado a heracles como esposo de su hija debido a lo que había ocurrido con megara y sus hijos, ¿que hizo heracles? Simple, SAQUEO SU CIUDAD, MATO A SU FAMILIA Y SE LLEVO A IOLE POR LA FUERZA, su historia de amor no fue una disfrutable para iole.

No ayuda en nada ver que en las representaciones artísticas de iole ella nunca se le ve feliz e incluso se le ve algo asustada, ella estaba en una situación altamente peligrosa con un hombre que la arranco de su familia y la tomó como un trofeo, y no se comformo con ella y en ese mismo intervalo de tiempo empezó a cortejar a deyanira😒

Ahora ¿porque hablo de este personaje que casi nadie recuerda? Porque pienso que tendría mucho potencial para hades, en específico la segunda parte donde conocemos personalmente a heracles.

Sabemos que heracles al ser favorecido por los dioses puede dejar el inframundo, y me imagino que para este momento podría haber dos caminos para iole:

1)ella está viva y tratando de rehacer su vida:en la mitología ella de casa con el hijo mayor de heracles pero prefiero pensar que aquí se quedaría soltera o con otro hombre, esta es la posibilidad que más favorece a iole.

2)ella está muerta y con su familia en el inframundo: aquí entra la culpa que heracles podria sentir al volver a verla, ella le tendría miedo y su familia le tendría desprecio, esta es mi favorita ya que pone sobre la mesa las malas acciones de heracles y muestra las consecuencias que tuvo sobre terceros.

Me imagino que en ambos casos como muestra de solidaridad heracles trataria de evitar toparse con iole porque 1)reconoce el miedo que le debe tener y 2) sabe que no merece estar cerca de ella después de todo lo que le hizo pasar.

Algo más que me pareció interesante acerca de iole es que en ningún momento deyanira trato de deshacerse de iole siendo ella la razón por la que heracles le dejo de dar atención, conociendo como son las esposas celosas en la mitología griega me sorprendió no encontrar una historia donde deyanira toma venganza en iole o la trate mal.

Mi visión es que deyanira sea una girls girl y no tuviera resentimiento hacia iole porque veía lo triste que se veía al estar junto al asesino de su familia, probablemente gracias a esto pensaba que si hacía que heracles solo la amara a ella dejaría a iole en paz o la dejaría ir en el mejor de los casos.

Lo que me hace creer esto es el mito donde iole hace que heracles use ropa de mujer y ella usa la ropa del héroe, heracles solo quería alardear de sus grandes hazañas pero deyanira le dijo que no siguiera hablando y aceptara su lugar(lo sé, la versión más popular es que la reina onfale hizo eso pero esta también me gusta porque iole en esta versión venga la muerte de su padre)

¿Que tal si hacemos que ellas se besen?

Me rn at the thought of deyanira x iole/yo pensando en deyanira x iole

𝖆𝖚 𝖆𝖚 │ “i would love to keep playing with your hair, but i think my hand’s starting to go numb.” lowell resmungou com a fala da outra, um bico se formando nos lábios enquanto se levantava deixando o colo de dayanira para se sentar na grama. ━ suas mãos estão mesmo quase dormentes? ━ perguntou entre os olhos semicerrados quase entre algum tipo de investigação - mas não fazia o menor sentido deya mentir - fazendo o lobinho suspirar em certa frustração. ━ e como que eu vou ficar com só um lado penteado? ━ acabou só desistindo e bagunçando as madeixas com as mãos e desfazendo todo o trabalho que dayanira teve até então. ━ eu não ia ficar bonito com isso mesmo.

When we arrived at camp, we were told that we were the only ones who could see the truth around us. The instructors of the camp were satyrs and centaurs. That was not the craziest thing I had seen.  Being in the actual world was a real nightmare. I had seen a minotaur in 5th grade. They sorted the campers into groups of which Greek or Roman god they might follow. I was put into Poseidon’s follower's cabin. I thought Athena and Artemis were the best Greek goddesses or gods. My cabin mates were all the boys who loved to go surfing and play beach volleyball and the girls were the ones who would always post on Instagram about their everyday life. I was the complete opposite. Books are my whole life. I could spend all day in a library.  I tried to tell the camp directors they put me into the wrong cabin, but they insisted they don’t make mistakes. The boys from my camp are currently in the lake being total dorks. The girls are sitting on the beach trying to look pretty and whatnot. I'm surprised they aren’t in the cabin for Aphrodite’s followers. I am in a tree that is hanging over the water, reading all about the Greek gods and goddesses of course. If my calculations are correct and nobody spotted me climbing up here, the camp directors will notice I am gone in about 10 minutes. The chaos will give me enough time to figure out a way to break the forcefield keeping us in here. That is if the Artemis kid and Athena kid weren’t put on duty to track me, again. I do this once a week so I don’t exhaust all my hiding places Otherwise I’m sure I would have exhausted them all without knowing everything I know about that shield. Every night the satyrs do a musical number that reinforces the shield. If I was to go and destroy all the magical flutes the satyrs use, the shield will go down. I flipped to the area of the book I have bookmarked. I had cut out 20-50 pages of the book so I could hide my notebook in it. It really hurt to do that to my favourite book but, it had to be done to keep my notebook a secret.

Day 16 Legendary
