I feel like we HAD to have talked about this at some point, but thinking of Apollo ships, what are your thoughts on Apollo x my man Ares? ❤️- Odiko Ptino
@odiko-ptino you know what I have been thinking about them lately!! Mostly because I've been reading Record of Ragnarok and their dynamic in it is uhh interesting, so I couldn't help myself. Now here's what I found about them in the myths:
1. Ares, under Hera's orders, kept a watch on Leto to prevent her from giving birth on lands.
2. Apollo sent Heracles to kill Cycnus, a son of Ares, for murdering the pilgrims. Ares was in support of his son here but Heracles defeated him.
3. Hermes and Apollo made fun of the situation when Ares and Aphrodite got caught red handed.
4. Apollo defeated Ares in the boxing match of the Olympic games.
5. According to Homer, Hyginus and Nonnus, Apollo was involved in killing the Aloadae after they kidnapped Ares.
6. In the Iliad, Apollo asks Ares to go teach a lesson to Diomedes for trying to attack both him and Aphrodite and Ares obeys him.
7. Apollo intervened and stopped a fight between Athena and Ares.
8. In the Homeric hymn to Apollo, Ares is enjoying himself in Apollo's concert.
When read in that order, it does seem like they both start off as rivals and eventually form a friendship. I have to admit I hadn't considered shipping them till recently, but it has grown on me. When it comes to Apollo's ships, I'm usually slightly more interested in reading Apollo's POV (because I feel like he's usually the one with more complicated feelings) but this is one of the few ships where I'm more invested in the other person's POV because I think the feelings are actually more complicated for Ares.
On Apollo's end, he is more or less neutral towards Ares. I'm sure he can be a tease, and will get cocky about being Zeus' favorite son, but unlike Athena he is never hostile to Ares for the sake of being hostile. He goes against Ares when the situation calls for it, but that's about it. To be honest I feel like he, being the more rational one, would understand to some extent how Ares feels. But he would not bother much to really do anything about it up until some point because *gestures at the past* things being this way is mostly not his fault and Ares isn't too welcoming. Ares, on the other hand...Apollo is the one Ares that he should hate the most (besides Athena). He is the golden child, the most favored son who is constantly being adored and loved. So Ares thinks that he is his rival, and also that Apollo also must hate him the same amount. But, I also think he probably looks up to Apollo too in a convoluted way - like wishing he could be that while always being aware that he can never be that. One day he'll realise that Apollo doesn't hate and it will be such a mind blowing experience for him lol. Seeing the shift in his feelings towards the person he has a lot of complicated feelings for would be fascinating, and being loved by that person could be a cathartic experience for Ares.
And you know how Ares was also associated with civil order? Do you think that was perhaps due Apollo's influence (just like how he made Hermes the divine messenger and the god of flocks?) They both can also definitely bond over fatherhood!! That is probably one of my favourite things here lol. Aphrodite is also the common bestie (partner) here so it's gotta be be fun.

Soo I saw your posts about the bros and their sisters and stuff and you mentioned the Aloadea and stuff and I was wondering if you had any HCs of each how the second gen reacted when they found out what the aloedaes plan was with their sister
👁️👁️
👁👁
Of course I have headcanons, my dear anon. But I will talk about Apollo and Ares only because they have the most interesting reactions.
As said in a previous ask, Apollo was scared that someone would take advantage and violate Artemis like their mother Leto had gone through. He had made a vow to keep his sister safe from other men.
When the god of rationality found out about the plan, he wasn't responding rationally. Apollo lost his shit when he was told Otus wanted to kidnap Artemis.
Apollo literally screamed for blood and shot rains of arrows toward the giants. He was like a one-man army and ready to send them to Orion himself.
Ares is more focused on beating Ephialtes for lusting after his mother, but when Otus reaches his grimy hands toward Artemis, Ares speared him immediately.
Apollo and Ares don't usually get along, but when someone is attacking their sister, they will set their personal feud aside to fight back their common enemy.
Ares is also paranoid that the giants will come after Eileithyia, Enyo, and Hebe as well. The fear and determination to protect his loved ones fueled him to fight to the death with them.
When Ares was captured, he did not resent Artemis or regret fighting the Aloadae for her. He only found closure that he had "repented" for his past persecution of Artemis and her family by sacrificing himself for her.

If I had a nickel for every time a Greek God was literally put in a jar, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice.
wait. it happened twice? when? Ares is one, who is the other?
edit: ok apparently it is thanatos in some versions of the sisyphus myth.

15 days of deity devotion: Artemis
Tumblr media
Day 1: Basic Introduction
Artemis is the goddess of many great things and incredibly important to me - and I want to use the next 15 days putting her in the spotlight she so very much deserves.
Who is Artemis?
In literature she is listed as goddess of...
the wilderness, animals & hunting; [1] includes: of the wilds, wild beasts and hunting, forest fires, lakes & springs, fishing, roads, and harbors
dawn & frost;
births, infants, children; includes childbirth, protector of the nursing infant, and protector of young girls
maidenhood & marriage;
maiden dance & song;
disease & sudden death; also includes sickness in dogs (rabies)
healing & good health;
ritual purification;
ancestral goddess and protector of the fatherland;
goddess of the Amazons and Hyperboreans. [2]
As you can see, this includes a great many more aspects than you'd expect. This does not even touch upon her connections to human sacrifice (see: Taurian Artemis), fertility (see: Ephesian Artemis), nymphs (in her retinue, along with other mortals and hunters), and many more that I will touch on these next two weeks.
Famous myths
Artemis’ mother Leto was hounded throughout her pregnancy by the jealous goddess Hera but eventually found refuge on the floating island of Delos. There she gave birth to Artemis who assisted her mother as midwife with the birth of her younger twin-brother Apollon.
Kallisto (Callisto) was a handmaiden of the goddess who Zeus seduced by assuming Artemis’ form. When Artemis discovered the girl was pregnant she transformed her into a bear and exiled her to the wilds.
The handsome giant Orion was a companion of the goddess but her jealous brother Apollon tricked her into killing him with a distant bow-shot. In her grief Artemis placed him among the stars as the constellation Orion.
When the Aloadai (Aloadae) giants tried to storm Olympus, Artemis assumed the form of a doe and raced between them, causing the pair to cast their spears, miss, and strike each other dead.
The hunter Aktaion (Actaeon) spied upon the goddess as she was bathing with her nymphs at a spring. Angered, she transformed him into a stag and had him torn apart by his own hounds.
The giant Kalydonian (Caledonian) Boar was sent by Artemis to ravage the lands of King Oineus as punishment for neglecting her in his sacrifices to the gods.
As the Greek fleet were preparing to sail for Troy, King Agamemnon offended Artemis and she becalmed the waters, preventing their departure. To appease the goddess, the king was forced to sacrifice his own daughter Iphigenia. [3]
[1]: Homer, Iliad; Homer, Odyssey; Homeric Hymn 27 to Artemis; Homeric Hymn 5 to Aphrodite; Pindar, Dithyrambs Heracles the Bold; Aeschylus, Agamemnon 140 ff; Aeschylus, fragment 188; Aristophanes, Frogs 1358 ff; Aristophanes, Thesmophoriazusae 144 ff; Callimachus, Hymn 3 to Artemis; Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 1.21; Apollonius of Rhodes, Argonautica; Ovid, Fasti; Seneca, Hercules Furens 406 ff; etc., etc.

(Ares anon here) Wow, thanks so much for such a quick answer! Can I ask for some sources for some of these myths/versions you mention: 1.The entire story of Otrera. Ngl it sound like something straight from a modern retelling and I got nothin like that from her theoi.com page
2.Source for male gods voting for Poseidon and female gods voting for Ares. I have read only one version from Apollodorus: "Poseidon had Ares tried on the Areopagos with the twelve gods presiding. Ares was acquitted."
3. Ares being the first one to attack Aloadae for the sake of Hera and Artemis. I've seen only Ares getting abducted. None of them mention he tried to defend the honor of his relatives. (And it looks like Apollo was the one to kill them when they tried to climb Olympus in some version)
I hoope its not too much trouble. Having sources would really help!!
Well, those are some hard cases to find sources, but I think I can help you.
1. For the Otrera myth there is no information on theoi.com, but I found some on Wikipedia, at the reference section. Also, you can check the site Greek Boston. I assure you that they are reliable, and they use the same sources, mainly from Appolonius of Rhoades.
2. About the male gods voting for Ares' guilt and the female goddesses voting for Ares' innocence, the source came forward from the main page of Areios Pagos. They state that back to Ares' trial, the tie between the male and the female gods was considered in favor of the accused one. But unfortunately, as much as I searched these days, there was no historical reference on this. I only found this on Areios Pagos main page in Greek😔.
3. About Ares coming first to protect Olympus, now there are many different mentions of that myth, and it is not clearly stated that he came first, but it was insinuated. It was the phrase "Ares tried to stop them",(from theoi.com)but there was no mention of any other god trying to do so, and even if there was any other god around him, the Aloadai would abduct them too and not only Ares. So this one is completely taken out of logic.
I'm sorry I took too long to respond, but I was trying to fetch some tangible sources. I don't know if those will help you, I hope they do! And for anything else, my inbox is always open! 📃📬🤝

polarean asked:
[ DRAG ]:     sender physically drags or carries the receiver away from a fight. from Charles fjfjdj
Ask Meme : Fight! -- @polarean
Nico has somehow gone paler, which shouldn’t technically be possible but it somehow is. “How did he reform so fast?” he murmurs through lips pressed into a thin line, tension edged along his face as he began marching toward the giant.
Gods above and below, he thought smashing the monster on the head with the combined strength of two sons of the Big Three and a god would do the giant in. Surely that would mean it would take longer for the guy to come back. But no, the Fates loved to make him their play thing, and his vision narrows to glare at the twelve foot tall Aloadae ahead of him. Otis’s green hair is braided back again, pinned with gold and silver baubles, and snake legs hidden with black pants. But it’s the giant’s face seared into Nico’s mind, the one that captured him and taunted him for days.
Only suddenly he’s hoisted out of his path to fight the giant, wind knocked out of him as he is placed over a shoulder rather than stabbing at a giant. “Hey!” he wheezes, voice coming out less forcefully than he meant. “Put me down!”

since we’re talking zeus’ relationships with his kids, do you think the aloadae’s kidnapping of ares could have brought a moment of understanding between him & zeus? not just because ares was seriously hurt, but because they both share a similar experience of being bound/captured (and in a way that’s a real threat)?
On a basic level, yes, I think that moment would have been grounds for bonding/some amount of sympathy, both in the moment itself (again, going to refer to that Zeus actually doesn't tolerate Ares being left suffering in the Iliad), and later.
Depending on when you set the uprising and Zeus being bound, the specific connection to/bonding over Ares' situation might only come later. The Aloadai incident was probably pretty early (as much as one can place these things by attempting some comparative observations on their mother and who her parents were etc), but the uprising can be a little floating in nature, depending on what details you use.
Like this; You can give the uprising and the attempted binding of Zeus a very specific point in time if you go with the versions that say that Poseidon and Apollo's presence in Laomedon's service was a punishment for their part in the uprising. With this, you get a pre-Herakles' sack of Troy, pre-Gigantomachy setting, but still within Laomedon's rule as king over Troy, and that would be (pretty long) after the Aloadai incident.
On the other hand, if you go with the versions that go with Poseidon and Apollo's purpose of being in Laomedon's service being a test of his piety/test of hubris (even if other such tests we have do not have the god(s) involved labour for a whole year for a mortal). In that, you can put the uprising a little whenever and it could, yes, be before the Aloadai incident and make Zeus' immediate sympathy more pointed.
I think either would work well! It just gives slightly different uses in terms of Zeus and Ares' relationship.

Ok, hi, hello, I just saw your reblog on my wip. What can you tell me about your characters inspired by classical figures? I’m curious! 👀📚
I haven't had the opportunity to talk about my WIP to this extent in so long! I'm vibrating in my seat!
One of the focal characters, Gio, is a huge nerd when it comes to Greek mythology. He's especially enamored by the Aloadae, mainly for their size and the flexibility in how they're portrayed. He even kinda names himself after one of them later on in the story, and there's one spoiler-y conflict that mirrors the story of Ares in the jar! In addition to that, his narration draws parallels to the cycle of succession and he uses code words inspired by Greek myth.
Also, I have a Hellenic Pagan in the main cast! Well, kind of; his religion is an alternate-history religion that combines Hellenic Paganism with Protestant Christianity. Finally, there's also Auster, a transgender witch who chose his name from the southern wind and knows quite a lot about classical myth, even if he doesn't incorporate it that much into his practices.

LUCIEN THEORY WAS INSPIRED BY THE SUN GODS
Tumblr media
In Greek mythology, Apollo is the god of the SUN and son of Zeus, god of gods. In this way, he is also the god of CLARITY and HEAT. Furthermore, he is the only one of the gods to be repeated in Greek and Roman mythologies.
Apollo is also considered the most POWERFUL and most BEAUTIFUL on Olympus. Because of his appearance, he was therefore also considered the god of beauty. This function earned him recognition as a PATRON of the ARTS and, thus, god of SINGING.
Since he was worshiped as the god of the sun, he was also responsible for the germinated agricultural land. As such, regions of ancient Greece dedicated their first crops of the season to him. In addition, the function of protecting herds of animals as a pastoral god.
Apollo was also responsible for protecting the Greeks from disease. Thus, he was considered god of plagues and diseases. Despite this, Greek mythology had a god of medicine. This god was Asclepius, son of Apollo.
Among his multiple functions, he was worshiped as a warrior god. That's because Apollo had great skill with ARC AND ARROW. His arrows killed the dragon Python and the Aloadas, giant sons of Poseidon.
Apollo was also attributed the power of DIVINATION OF ORACLES. His name was worshiped in several sanctuaries around Greece, among which the oracle of Delphi stood out.
Among its symbols are the laurel wreath, swans and dolphins, the lyre (musical instrument) and the bow and arrow.
The god Horus is the solar god of the heavens and one of the most important in Egyptian mythology. The image of Horus is associated with the firmament, and therefore he represents light, power and royalty. According to a legend, the left eye of Horus symbolized the moon, the god Seth ripped out the LEFT EYE of Horus, which was replaced by this amulet, which gave him full vision.
Horus married Hathor, goddess of parties, wine, joy and guardian of women and protector of lovers.
Helion is a lustrous High Fae with dark brown skin and onyx hair. He is muscular and wears a glittering golden-tipped crown. His legs and thighs are described as muscular and in good shape. He moves with languid grace and power, and is described as 'THE SUN PERSONIFIED'.
His bestial form is described as a creature of golden feathers, claws and feathered wings, and said to be Rhysand's opposite, made of light and sunlight.
NOTE: FEYRE THINKS HIM ALMOST AS HANDSOME AS RHYS.

HELLL YEAA ANOTHER PROTECTIVE OLDER BROTHERS ARES AND HEPHEASUTUS AND FERAL YOUNGER SISTER ARTEMIS TRUTHERRRR
I have a hc that if some guy comes up and disrespects artemis so them two beat the hell out of them, she can handle herself but she doesn’t need too because they’ll be handing them first , don’t even get them started on aloadae because they’ll still be angry about that hundreds if not thousands of years later but she does the exact same for them like you disrespect her older brothers and she’ll personally make you a pin cushion with her arrows, no questions asked, shes also like one of those feral house-cats who will present a dead body to you with a proud smile on her face. they love each other more than anthing
OMG how could I forget the Aloadae incident??? The fight against them and Artemis rescuing Ares afterward are peak siblings moments 👍
Also, also, we're sleeping on the potential of the Giantomachy too!!! Imagine Ares and Hephaestus beating giants left and right then turning back to ask if Artemis is okay only to see their sister is snipping down giants XDDD

Hermes, after freeing Ares: That experience must have been pretty jar-ring for you, huh?
Ares: Put me back.
LOL
the Aloadae locked him in a left over pickle jar. i don’t need to say anything more…

You’d think that for a god of war, Ares would lose less
Like, he gets stabbed/imprisoned by Diomedes, the Aloadae, Hephaestus, I’m pretty sure Athena yells at him one time, and several more that I’m forgetting
Like, come on. There’s a reason Athena is my favorite war goddess
