Hector and Helenus' potential dynamic is so funny to me

Chapter title: Kassandra and the God Chapter: 1/7 Ships: Apollo/Kassandra, Helen/Paris, Helen/Menelaos, Kassandra & Helenos (and others, more minor)

Summary: Apaitesis : "If on the one hand you are willing, I request; while if you are not willing, I demand back." Andokides, second oration.

It’s been five years since Helen and Paris stepped off their ship in Troy, and now – finally, yet far too soon – there are black ships uncounted on the horizon.

Yet it is Tenedos that has been made to suffer first, for no obvious reason. All of Troy and beyond watch the smoke staining the sky and now have to reckon with what the fleet on their shores mean. Kassandra’s attempt to gain insight she’s been hungry for years to have access to, in a wish to know and to be able to help, has disastrous effects. Helen and Paris, meanwhile, have to face what their decisions and actions have led to, and what they will lead to from hereon.

The decisions made here will lead to the end.

Who doesn't love a shepherd boy?

After all, Branchus isn't just the winner of this poll.

And of course, let's give a round of applause to our runner-up!

HECUBA, QUEEN OF TROY AND MOTHER TROILUS

And our bronze medalist!

RHOEO, PRINCESS OF NAXOS AND MOTHER OF ANIUS

Shout-out to Helenus, our fourth-placer!

:D I'm very glad this went well! A few times I saw about 50 people voted on a few poles, which is cool because the goal of this poll was to not only find out the best underrated lover Apollo had, but to also just to bring attention to all these people.

They each have a story to tell - cute, complicated, loving, ect.

There's one last thing to mention.

Since we've done the lovers...why not the kids? >:3

See you in @best-apollo-kid-mythology-poll where we will see who will emerge the best Apollo kid! :D

I found an old (and bad) sketch of the twins and decided to re-do it I am still debating if giving Cassandra curly hair. I think it would fit, but I also like the idea of her and Helenus switching places as kids And Helenus in my head has straight hair They have the same complexion. Cassandra's paler because she spends most time inside and Helenus has a tan for the opposite reason

Kassandra and Helenus!

I love thinking of how the twins would've spent a lot of their nights as children in the temple of Apollo, whispering stories and theories of anything their little minds could come up with

Chapter title: Words in Vain Chapter: 2/7 Ships: Apollo/Kassandra, Helen/Paris, Helen/Menelaos, Kassandra & Helenos (and others, more minor)

Summary: While Kyknos, lord of Kolonai, comes to Troy to demand action from King Priam in the wake of the attack on his son's island, Kassandra begins to learn the shape of the consequences her broken promise has earned her.

Helenos tries to do what he can for his sister.

(Rhoeo art by @amiti-art & Helenus art by @luddlestons)

Propaganda:

Rhoeo

What's The Love Story?

Her dad was THE worst and when he found out she was pregnant he didn't believe her that the father of the baby was a god so he put her in a wooden chest and threw into the sea. Jokes on him because Apollo was baby's father so Rhoeo made it safely to Delos. She gave birth to Anius and placed him on the alter in Apollo's temple and asked him to save the baby if he was truly his (idk why he needed saving tbh, the myth does not specify this. I headcanon that he was born too early)

Apollo then took Anius and not only saved him but also started to raise and mentor him.

Rhoeo later married Zarex who adopted Anius so our boy had 3 parents, good for him. And there are no myths about her dying a horrible death so she probably had a long and happy life (unlike some other lovers of Apollo 🙃)

Also around the same time Rhoeo got thrown into the sea in that wooden chest, while her sisters were watching over their dad's wine, it got destroyed by the swines. The sisters were so terrified of their father they decided to jump of the cliff but Apollo saved them and turned them into goddesses.

Why Should They Win?

I think Apollo truly loved her not only as a lover but as a friend too. It was not a one night stand like often happens in the myths. He loved her enough to save not only her and their son but also her sisters (like come on he turned them into goddesses). He let her live on his sacred island. And he loved her enough to let her go. While gods are often very possessive of their lovers (Apollo included, rip Koronis), he had no problem with Rhoeo moving on and getting married. I like to think that they stayed good friends and Apollo was very happy that she found such a great guy like Zarex to marry.

Kids?

Anius

Helenus

What's The Love Story?

Helenus was the son of Priam and Hecuba of Troy! He's also the twin of Cassandra, and received the gift of prophecy from Apollo. Apollo also gave him an ivory bow that Helenus used to shoot Achilles in the hand with :3

Why Should They Win?

I know we all love Hector X Apollo, but this is a really good one too! Especially considering the Apollo's relationship with both Helenus & Cassandra!
