I feel like ppl forget that Aglaia and Hephaestus are (heavily implied) to have grown up together, both being raised by Eurynome. She wasn’t some random hot girl Hephaestus decided to date after his failed marriage and Aphrodite definitely did not introduce them.

#YESSS #aglaia is his girl 😭 #hephaestus

Do you have any headcanons of Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hades, Demeter, and Hestia's relationship with their mother Rhea?

Not many specific ones, aside from that it's generally okay? Even if it certainly could have been awkward, especially early on.

But, thinking about it, you could do quite a few things with Hera's situation of having Oceanus and Tethys as foster parents. She's the only one of the siblings noted to have such an arrangement, despite not being the youngest (in actuality or after the rearranged "birth order" when the five are regurgitated). Sure, it could mean nothing in terms of Hera's relationship to Rhea, but it could also mean it was, and still is, awkward and contentious.

Like, to be sure, the thing is with this that the Iliad is working from a different theogony than Hesiod's Theogony, something that is usually ignored but paints up a quite different early setting (and in general). You have Zeus and Hera sneaking around having a secret relationship their parents disagree with, you have Aphrodite as Zeus and Dione's daughter. (Incidentally, this is why Zeus could/would have "given her away" to Hephaistos to lead to the issue of him complaining about wanting the price of the bridal gifts back for the tale the bard sings of the golden net incident in the Odyssey. Zeus is Aphrodite's father here and, much like with Persephone, has all the right to marry her off. It becomes more awkward if you go with the more "standard" version of Aphrodite growing from the "foam" from and around Uranus' genitals in the water.)

That aside, I always usually imagine Zeus and Rhea have a rather good relationship. She might not have been able to be there much/at all as he grew up, but he's her baby, the one she managed to save and who then saved her other children (and, if you want to acknowledge that in such a manner, saved her from her husband), and is a good king (he is. I won't even say "fight me" about it because if you disagree, just don't come here to argue about it, I don't care).

Hestia and Rhea's relationship I think is good too? I just don't see much of a reason for it not to be. Like, maybe some of the younger ones (like Poseidon...) might be blaming their mother at least a little for not (being able to) stopping their father from swallowing them, but Hestia knows it was a complete surprise, at least.

I guess, if you take inspiration from the syncretism of Rhea-Cybele and Cybele's ecstatic rites/celebrations, you could use that as a complicating factor. Are her children comfortable with this? Who is, who isn't? Gives a neat connection between Rhea(-Cybele) and her grandson Dionysos' later ecstatic celebrations and the myth where she helps him. Considering he seeks help because Hera inflicted him with madness, I figure that might introduce some tension between mother and daughter even if there wasn't any before that!

Going back to more specific what I headcanon, for Poseidon and Rhea I sort of imagine that, while he loves his mother, he does blame her somewhat, and it all ties into him not trusting (others much in general, women in specific, leaning on his own strength, etc). They don't have a bad relationship, but there are issues underneath that might cause tension even if they never bloom out into anything realized?

Hades and Demeter probably has a generally okay/good relationship with their mother, too? I don't think/remember if I ever decided on anything specific there while writing Six Little Lights (where Rhea's relationship with her children is the whole thing).

#i really love the obscurity of hera and rhea's relationship #despite their names being anagrams they are very different #my personal hc is that hera looks too much like cronus and that deeply affects rhea #rhea

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

⚔️ If you want to read some queer retelling of arturian legends have a look at my webtoon

#thank you op this made me tear up a lil #this is absolutely true in the sense that ares lets his emotions rule over his mind #like how he killed that mf that raped his daughter #how he loved aphrodite despite all sense pointing not to #how he cared for death (thanatos) when no one else did #man... im fucking proud to be his devotee #ares #greek mythology

dear god,, them,,,

[ID: A digital drawing of Ningguang (in her Orchid’s Evening Gown outfit) and Yelan. The stand, faces centimeters apart looking at each other intently. Ningguang looks worried. Yelan’s hands are bloodied as she cups the other’s face. She wipes away a tear from Ningguang’s cheek, leaving a streak of blood. Behind them, a light illuminates their profiles. They are surrounded by rain, which is set aglow by the light. End ID.]

tysm to @ninglans for the ID! I tweaked it a bit to include the rain.
