[starfanatic]

Definitely waiting for a sequel to the fanfiction work, and came to say how smart you are

DUDE DUDE DUDE I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THIS ASK BECAUSE I GENUINELY FEEL DUMB. THE MAIN REASON THIS CHAPTER IS TAKING SO LONG IS BECAUSE OF HOW WEIRDLY DIFFICULT IT IS TO ANAlYZE ZEUS AND ARES, AND HAVE THEM ACT IN A REASONABLE MANNER TOWARDS EACH OTHER. I KNOW THIS IS UNREALISTIC, BUT I LIKE MY FICS TO BE CHARACTER ACCURATE MOST OF THE TIME. YOU'RE SO SWEET ILY.

COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC BUT MY FANFIC REACHED 94 KUDOS??? I NEVER THOUGHT MY FIC WAS GOING TO GET ANY KUDOS BECAUSE ITS- (I have no idea why I was typing in all caps just roll with it)

-A greek mythology fanfic that isn't lore olympus or percy jackson

-a greek mythology fanfic with no main romantic pairing

-focused on Ares & Zeus, quite literally one of the most hated and ignored characters

BUT IT REACHED 94?! I DONT EVEN CARE IF IT REACHES 100 THATS INSANE

Hymns to Zeus

Homeric Hymn 23 to Zeus

I will sing of Zeus, chieftest among the gods and greatest, all-seeing the lord of all, the fulfiller who whispers words of wisdom to Themis as she sits leaning towards him. Be gracious, all-seeing Son of Kronos, most excellent and great.

Orphic Hymn to Zeus

Of Zeus much-honor’d, Zeus supremely great, To thee our holy rites we consecrate. Our pray’rs and expiations, king divine, For all things round thy head exalted shine. The earth is thine, and mountains swelling high, The sea profound, and all within the sky. Kronion king, descending form above, Magnanimous, commanding, sceptered Jove; All-father, principle and end of all, Whose pow’r almighty shakes this earthly ball; Even Nature trembles at thy mighty nod, Loud-sounding, arm’d with light’ning, thund’ring God. Source of abundance, purifying king, O various-form’d from whom all natures spring; Propitious hear my pray’r, give blameless health, With peace divine, and necessary wealth.

Orphic Hymn to Zeus Astrapaios

I call the mighty, holy, splendid light, Aerial, dreadful-sounding, firey bright, Flaming, aerial-light, with angry voice, Lightning thro’ the lucid clouds with horrid noise. Untam’d, to whom resentments dire belong, Pure, holy pow’r, all-father, great and strong, Come, and benevolent these rites attend, And grant my days a peaceful, blessed end.

Orphic Hymn to Zeus Keraunos

O Father Zeus, who shak’st with firey light The world, deep-sounding from thy lofty height: From thee, proceeds th’ ethereal lightning’s blaze Flashing around intolerable rays. Thy sacred thunders shake the best abodes, The shining regions of th’ immortal gods: They pow’r divine, the flaming lightning shrouds, With dark investiture, in fluid clouds. ‘Tis thine to brandish thunders strong and dire, To scatter storms, and dreadful darts of fire; With roaring flames involving all around, And bolts of thunder of tremendous sound. Thy rapid dart can raise the hair upright, And shake the heart of man with wild affright. Sudden, unconquer’d, holy, thund’ring God, With noise unbounded, flying all abroad; With all-devouring force, entire and strong, Horrid, untam’d, thou roll’st the flames along. Rapid, ethereal bolt, descending fire, The earth all-parent, trembles at thy ire; The sea all-shining; and each beast that hears The sound terrific, with dread horror fears: When Nature’s face is bright with flashing fire, And in the heavens resound thy thunders dire. Thy thunders white, the azure garments tear, And burst the veil of all surrounding air. O Zeus, all-blessed, may thy wrath severe, Hurl’d in the bosom of the deep appear, And on the tops of mountains be reveal’d, For thy strong arm is not from us conceal’d. Propitious to these sacred rites incline, And crown my wishes with a life divine: Add royal health, and gentle peace beside, With equal reason, for my constant guide.

You guys ever wonder what Greek mythology would be like if Hades was the head honcho instead of Zeus?

I mean, sure, if the roles were reversed and Zeus was the ruler of the Underworld, I'm sure he'd still cause problems, but I feel like it wouldn't be as bad with the ever-responsible and non-problematic Hades in charge. He wouldn't let Zeus go unpunished.

Personally, as much as I love Hades and Persephone as king and queen of the Underworld, thinking about having them as the benevolent rulers of Mount Olympus brings me joy. Joy for Hades and Persephone getting the respect they rightly deserve, and joy for Zeus and Hera (mostly Zeus) living out the rest of their immortal lives in absolute misery for their crimes against humanity and other gods.

Just some food for thought...

Baby Daddy by Aphrodite

Little Bro by Poseidon

Asshole by Hades

Age- 20 (immortal)

Location- The Royal Palace, New Olympus

Personality- Zeus is arrogant, full of himself, cold, and cruel as the ruler of his country. The role as a King (and god) is taken very seriously by him. He's unforgiveable to those he considers his enemies, and those who disrespect the royal family and godly pantheon. He's a self-proclaimed ladies' man- through his many sordid affairs, conquests, one night stands, and girlfriends that fuels the constant rumor mill. He's known to show a softer side towards his many, many children.

As the god of thunder and lightning, he has divine control over both static and celestial electricity. His wide range of powers/abilities include aerokinesis, audiokinesis, flight, electrokinesis, atmokinesis (for example, he can summon hurricanes, mighty tornadoes, & even scorching sandstorms), shapeshifting into/communicating with avian creatures, & teleportation (through a flash of lightning).

Zeus lives in a sprawling opulent palace that is situated on the country's biggest natural landmark- Mt. Olympus. It's a towering feat of marble & gold. It has well over 300 rooms including a large central room paved with Imperial Gold. This room acts as a council chamber (for gov't meetings) as well as a feasting hall. His throne is a visual feat. It's made up of platinum with engravings of lightning bolts on the side. The arms of the chair are eagle heads. He owns many species of eagles & pegasi as pets!

There's a dazzling 600 ft. statue of him near the Lightning Harbor- the naval entryway to New Olympus.

Notable physical features of his includes his short silver blond hair and his clear shock blue eyes.

Zeus was the only child that wasn't eaten by Kronos. Despite feeling weak after giving birth, Rhea wanted to be successful in saving one of her children. She left him in a cave where he was found and raised by an oread named Amalthea (he called her "Mama Alma" as a child).

He doesn't like thinking back on how he grew up. Zeus remembers dark gray skies exploding with constant storms, witnessing more than his fair share of executions & beheadings, all ordered by the Titan King Kronos (who was the tyrannical dictator ruler of the country- previously named Titanius). The country was in the midst of an unforgiving war & he constantly moved around to avoid being enlisted in the draft. He became aware of his true identity and lineage on his 15th birthday. He was working on a neighbor's farm to earn extra money when an old beggar approached him, asking for some shelter from the rain. Feeling sorry for her, Zeus gave her shelter in the manger & gave her a hot meal. The beggar gave him thanks, suddenly transforming into this beautiful woman with rich olive skin and long lustrous dark hair. She introduced herself as his biological mother Rhea, The Titan Queen. She told him everything about his biological father Kronos and his imprisoned brothers. She said that he was the country's only hope- and the rest is history.

Another dark time in Zeus' past was the death of his adoptive mother a few months before the end of the Titanomachy.

Even though he's not in contact with his mother, Zeus does consider his employees- the twin sisters Bronte (goddess of thunder) & Astrape (goddess of lightning) as maternal figures with The Litae being a close second.

The most important law (to him) that he passed was the Titan Executive Order. All the Titans (except Kronos) were granted amnesty (due to surrendering or fighting in Zeus' army), but their godly abilities (not immortality) were considerably weakened. Zeus also considers himself freeing the cyclops & hecatoncheires from their imprisonment in Tartarus to be in his top ten moments.

To anyone that owns a flying creature as a pet (griffin, pegasus, hippogriff, or dragon), they must obtain a special license from Zeus, that allows them to fly in his domain of the sky.

His most prized possession- his lightning bolt, can also shapeshift into a smartphone.

He's one busy King! He has a plethora of business conglomerates- a private security company, an airline (Bolt Air- which is used by millions of people everyday), restaurants (fast food- Olympic Chef & upscale- The Crown), hotels, resorts, real estate, bars, nightclubs (Ethereal), strip clubs, car dealerships, a men's fashion empire (Platinum Alchemy), a men's magazine, amusement parks (Firebolt theme park), & a women's lingerie line (Heavenly Spark). Zeus is also a judge on the Grand Olympian Court.

Aside from the palace, Zeus has many other properties scattered throughout Olympius- his favorite being his beach house in Shimmering Tail Island. He has his wildest parties there!

His go-to drink is a royal treatment (a drink made with pineapple flavored vodka, triple sec, coconut milk, and lemon-lime soda). Zeus also enjoys martinis, New Olympus Iced Teas, energy drinks, lemonade margaritas, Strengthify ionized water, classic martinis, mimosas, & champagne.

He hasn't forgiven Hera (goddess of women & marriage) for the role she played during the Olympians' Rebellion. Some say that was the real downturn in their marriage.

The true number of his children is unknown. Zeus stopped counting after 100. Regardless, he loves all his children (even though he has trouble showing it most times). He considers Athena (goddess of wisdom), Hebe (goddess of youth), Apollo (god of the sun, music, poetry, healing, medicine, archery, plague, light, & knowledge), and Hermes as his favorites. One of his biggest regrets was abandoning his son Hephaestus (god of the forge). He also doesn't take pleasure in knowing that his love life directly affects the children he has with his wife, especially Eileithyia (goddess of childbirth). Zeus is currently not on speaking terms with his son Ares (god of war)- the two of them always having a volatile relationship.

In the pantheon, he's not in contact at all with his paternal grandmother Gaia (goddess of the earth), his mother Rhea (Titaness of fertility, motherhood, & comfort), or his uncles Oceanus (Titan god of the sea) and Krios (Titan god of stars & constellations)- whose current location is unknown, despite him checking all the locations of The Underworld ten times over. His relationship with his brothers are a mixed bag- especially with Hades (god of the dead).

Surprisingly, he doesn’t have many friends. Zeus is friends with Chrysos (god of gold & riches), Zelus (god of envy, jealousy, & zeal), Kratos (god of strength), Boreas (god of the north wind), Nike (goddess of victory), and Bia (goddess of force & power).

His love life has garnered attention (mostly infamous) for as long as he can remember. Zeus' current longtime girlfriend is Thetis, a popular nereid model. His past flames include Leto (Titaness of demurity & motherhood); mother to Apollo & Artemis, Maia (one of The Pleiades); mother to Hermes, Dione, Selene (Titaness of the moon), Io, Semele (a mortal); mother to Dionysus, and Leda (a mortal); mother to his son Pollux. Zeus also used to have feelings for Themis (Titaness of justice). Zeus loves showering the many women in his life (romantically, familial, and platonically) with gifts.

In his free time, Zeus likes going to high class and gold carpet events (usually with several women on his arm). He frequents bars, nightclubs, and strip clubs often. He also likes to free sky-dive, cloud surf, work out, go to the spa, jog, play video games, ski, snowboard, play hockey, football (soccer), tennis, basketball, golf, & spending time with his kids whenever he can.

His favorite meal (from his childhood that Mama Alma used to make) is moussaka (added with artichokes). He makes it every year on Thanksgiving. He also has a weakness for golden crispy fried chicken (especially Hestia's recipe!).

His favorite dessert is the soft & airy white cake (with vanilla bean mascarpone buttercream frosting). He also likes the vanilla bean truffle bourbon ice cream from Cocktails on Ice.

Zeus (alongside Hera) hosts the annual Summer Solstice Ball at the palace, where the country's elite is in attendance.

He also permits that the palace double as a museum every weekend for tourists to learn about Olympian history. He loves showing off his lightning bolt to the visitors!

"No one will ever be as mighty a god or King, as me."

Do any of you ever wonder if Camp Half-Blood accidentally brought in a demigod of a different pantheon before?

This would be especially hilarious if it happens sometime after The Last Olympian/Heroes of Olympus, where the gods are required to claim their kids quickly.

A whole day passes, and the new demigod needs to sleep in the Hermes Cabin and Percy is furious. Meanwhile, the Greek Gods are pointing at each other and shouting, contacting the most obscure of mini gods. Chaos erupts on Olympus as every deity in Greek Mythology is called upon and interrogated. Hermes hasn't run around so much in centuries.

Hecate sits in silence, fully aware of what's happening, but enjoying the show too much to intervene.

#does anyone want a fanfic of this? #idk if the norse and greek gods are even aware of each other's existence #but it's funnier to imagine that they aren't really #hecate keeps them secret from each other to avoid zeus having a power struggle against odin #or something similar like that #this would be absolutely hilarious #especially if the kid turns out to be a child of a norse sea god #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #magnus chase and the gods of asgard #magnus chase #norse gods #greek gods #pjo #pjo tv show #pjo series #pjo books #heroes of olympus #percy is threatening the gods aka it's wednesday #the poor lost demigod is confused

Annabeth, and others, often treat Percy as if he’s ridiculous or obtuse for his reactions to the demigod world, when in reality he’s a (relatively) well adjusted kid who was raised by a loving parent. His actions make sense based on his upbringing

- parents arent supposed to be neglectful

- parents are supposed to be easily attainable, loving, and present in a child’s life

- if you’re in trouble, you should call for help, there isn’t shame in admitting you’re in over your head, you’re twelve

- you shouldn’t have to jump through life endangering hoops to get your parent’s attention

Annabeth acts like he’s ridiculous, but he’s right. Annabeth knows how the Greek world works, but Percy knows how the real world is supposed to work. & rightfully calls out the BS. But it’s hard for most demigods to agree because what kid wants to admit the way their parents treat them is awful? That their actions are those of aloof, negligent, even narcisstic people who are unwilling or incapable of giving the proper love and support a child needs. That even if their godly parent does love them, it’s a pathetic, horrible, attempt at love you’re better off without.

#Percy said: hey parents are supposed to love and support us #and everyone goes pffft unconditionally? without doing something to earn it? #anyways I hate all the Greek god parents and would slam dunk them into a wood chipper while a mariachi band plays if I could #they’re all the worst but if I had to rank Athena #posideon and Zeus are tied for first #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo #pjo series #pjo tv show #annabeth chase #mine #rick riordan
