In regards to the current situation around pan!Scott's design:
He talked about it right after the timestamp of 4:30 on this Twitch stream!
I recommend watching the clip fully, but TL;DR, it was not his intention in the slightest to have the design come across as orientalist and racist; he didn't realize that it could be read that way and he apologies, stating that he was leaning more for fantasy elements than historical ones and was ignorant to how it could be seen as offensive. He apologies sincerely for the mistake and will get the design mended to be Greek-leaning while still embracing fantasy elements.

I like to imagine that legs will drop the most outrageous and wildest lore mid convo and Scott simply has to stand there and stare at him like ??? How does one even begin to respond
this is a great time to emphasize that I do not tolerate or support generative ai, I’ve had more people who use ai follow me and try to offer me slop, leave me alone, I am an artist, and will do my own art instead of slop
anyways if anyone is curious my vote is that Pangundo's axes be named Astrape and Bronte (or something similar) after the goddesses of lightning and thunder respectively
as someone who has been in miscellaneous mythology-based fandoms for awhile and has also done decently varied and intensive-for-casual-use non-fandom mythology research for over 10 years, alongside being generally aware of how fandoms work, i've decided to put together a quick little "[taps the sign]" list gearing up for Pantheon SMP. Feel free to refer to this whenever or do whatever and what-have-you, as I feel like these topics may come up a lot.
I'll put the mythology-specific ones under a cut for length. That being said, [ahem]
General housekeeping:
Please remember that a lot of the creators in Pantheon SMP lean more PG/PG-13. I know Greek mythology is Greek mythology, and jokes will be made and everybody is shirtless and what-not. But be mindful particularly in community spaces, especially for those creators (AND THEIR MODS. PLEASE), and temper yourselves. Maybe save some of the shirtless art for your own socials/servers rather than in community discord servers, and be mindful of how you tag it/where you put it.
Related to that: Yes, there is a lot of toplessness in this smp. There is nothing wrong with that. But please keep in mind that in the most literal definition of the term, in many cases that can be not safe for work. As in folks may get in trouble if they have art of that open in their workplace. It can definitely feel awkward tagging Minecraft stuff that, but at the very least make sure you're tagging for partial nudity or similar. Just so people can filter tags.
On to mythology notes that may be of relevance for folks:
Chronos the primordial god of time is not the same as Kronos/Cronus, titan of the harvest. They got conflated even in Greek times because they have similar names, and they both get conflated/merged into the roman Saturn with more sort of Father Time/seasons themes, but they're separate dudes. Chronos is usually one of the first gods in Orphic origin myths. I believe Owen and Apo have said already that they intentionally avoided having champions of Titans, so it may be useful to keep that distinction in mind.
Zeus encompasses more than just fuckboi and/or rainy jerk. He is the god of hospitality, law, fatherhood, leadership, weather/storms, etc. Sometimes he was merged with Poseidon and/or Hades, among others. And yes, overall he was characterized as a good leader. Keep in mind Ovid wrote a whole lot of anti-authoritarian stuff cause he got exiled and was mad at the Roman emperor, so that bled into his versions of myths a lot, especially with Zeus/Jupiter. This was not the universal opinion/perception of Zeus/Jupiter across Greece/history. It was just one version of him.
No, Artemis does not hate men, and yes she had men in her retinue of mostly female hunters. Orion is the most well-known example, and Hippolytus is an example of one of Artemis' male hunters who literally did nothing wrong and was super chill. Also, Artemis (alongside Apollo) are the protectors of all youth, not just youth of their own genders. It was in fact a noted aspect of both Artemis and Apollo that, by ancient Greek standards, Apollo was considered generally feminine and Artemis was very masculine. This actually comes up such as in some versions of the myth of Niobe and Leto, where Niobe insults Leto's children in comparison to her own, and Artemis and Apollo then proceed to murder all of Niobe's children - Artemis slaying the seven daughters, Apollo slaying the seven sons.
Yes, Aeolus is a god in some myths. Other times he's mortal. There's a lot of instances of this across mythology. Don't sweat it too much. There's not actually a huge distinction half the time with some figures, such as a lot of nymphs. It's not that important. He's a god in this case and that's all we need to know.
Cause I know a PJO fan will probably mention it - no, Pan is not always dead, depending on version of the myth. There are actually very few myths about this. It's generally credited to one story where a guy might have misheard worship of an entirely different god.
Nyx is not "evil." One of her kids is literally the goddess of friendship. Nyx is generally allied to the Olympians and helps them quite a few times. Heroes of Olympus lied to you, sorry. She is considered scary, though.
The whole "pantheon family tree being a circle" thing is mostly symbolic/metaphorical. Because it's mythology. Zeus is the father of Athena because as a god of law and leadership he's the "father of wisdom." Rain bring plant growth so he and Demeter are the parents of Persephone/spring. Apollo has one billion myths about hanging out with nymphs because the sun and plants. So on and so forth. Like half or more of that family tree varies wildly across place and time, often for these same reasons and whatever myth/story they're telling, or sometimes just cause they have a different pantheon (yes, even within ancient Greece). It's not often meant to be that important so don't sweat about it. It's metaphors.
I don't have any notes in particular for specifically Athena, Hermes, Morpheus, Hephaestus, Tyche, or Apollo, so in lieu of that I will give my blanket recommendation of Theoi as an excellent and extensively-sourced resource for Greek mythology research.
Everybody good? Okay? Okay. Now everybody be niceies and let's not get into a million fights over having 20 different sources over centuries of (multiple pantheons of) mythology spanning like half a continent. Only fun Minecraft times. Yippee.

Puts herself in the ground of a coward, but in reality, is surrounded by bravery.
I put does on her cardigan, I was remembering a post Shelby made ages ago, where she said that v!Shelby would be a rabbit, and Drift would be a doe… What will befall this group of prey
