Main protagonist of Into Klein’s Bottle

WARNING: I talk about specific mental health issues and how it affects the following character.

Ephoszumina Uynaszoide Higenbrotamus-Teixojzura is the 36-year-old determined and protective commander of the Ichnaea 5 spacecraft. She’s part of the Galactic Investigation of Anomalous Phenomena Division (GIAPD), one of the few subdivisions of the Bureau of Researching and Securing Extramundane Curiosities (BRSEC). As a hard-working individual, she feels confident about her work and possesses an unwavering commitment to her given tasks. She’s a reliable member of the GIAPD, putting effort into their work and obediently following orders. She’s also viewed as trustworthy by her crew members due to her good listening and emotional intelligence skills. Ephoszumina is quite independent and honourable, being able to not rely on others for aid or support and believe in truth as well as doing what’s morally right. However, she sometimes struggles to break out of her unyielding independence and collaborate with her crew members due to her stubbornness. She respects the opinions and ideas of others, showing consideration and regard to what they have to say. However, she will put her foot down and tell them off if she views it as necessary. Ephoszumina is very organised and is quick to notice things, especially if it involves her plans or any potential problems that might arise amongst her group. She’s decently down-to-earth, ensuring that she focuses on the task beforehand and dealing with people practically and directly.

She's capable of uplifting the management of her team, but she does occasionally overthink and/or disregard the potential negative consequences. She tends to appear menacingly and isn’t afraid to threaten those who try to invade her privacy or harm the safety of her and the members of the Ichnaea 5. She can be quite sarcastic at times, which is usually in the form of mocking and contemptible remarks. Ephoszumina does have a bit of a fiery temper, but that’s usually targeted towards those she finds irritating or it’s a sign of wanting to be left alone. She tries to hide the fact that she experiences depression, insomnia, and borderline personality disorder (BPD). Her depression makes her feel sad, empty, and hopeless, and prone to angry outbursts and frustration, even over small matters. She often desires to be non-existent and can be somewhat fixated on past failures. She has difficulty with concentration, decision-making, and recalling, which makes dealing with her tasks feel like an absolute chore. Her BPD makes her feel uncertain about how she sees herself, experiences mild mood swings, and intensifies her fear of abandonment and instability.

Ephoszumina is slightly above the average height of an Irishwoman and is almost about 5’ 6” (167.64 cm). Her body shape is more rectangular, but her hips are fairly defined, her shoulders and buttocks are slightly rounded, and she carries some weight in her upper thighs. Her medium-length hair is in a side-parted wavy, messy lob and it’s a lovely shade of golden bronze with red brown streaks. She has striking sienna skin with reddish freckles decorating her face, chest, and shoulders. She has long eyelashes and cerulean eyes, but the left one is slightly lighter than the right due to it being made from glass, which she tries to cover up with a purplish eyepatch. She has a tattoo on her abdomen, which depicts a black and gold Rooster of Barcelos holding a bloomed lavender and a Fuchsia magellanica in its beak. After the spaceship crash, her left arm is replaced with a prosthetic, the wires being the veins and muscles tendons, while the flexible metal are the bones and flesh. Her lower back, buttocks, and behind the left leg have received some scars, primarily second- and third-degree burns and lacerations. After being experimented on and tortured by the Zraphelostund Vermuzokilas, there is a line from between the index and middle fingers to the tip of her elbows. She can split them open to reveal adamantine, jagged blades, and her arms are a smoky black with razor-sharp vermilion nails. She has six dark blue stitches: one running along her back; U-shaped ones on both inner thighs; one that wraps around her lower left leg; and two from her right trapezius to her left deltoid. Her hair now has some light purple highlights and her sienna skin is sickly pale with pearlescent blue warts on her shoulders, chest, outer thighs, and upper back. Ephoszumina has a scar below her lower lip that reaches from ear to ear and she has a segmented, bony tail that's tipped with a fleshy ball covered in glossy bronze spikes.

Like the other main members of Ephoszumina’s group, she wears the traditional GIAPD space uniform. This uniform consists of teal blue space flight suits with two white strips from the neck gaiter to the end of their jacket sleeves and well-placed pockets. GIAPD workers also wear position badges, the flag of their country on the left arm, the logo of their organisation on the right arm, and a monochromatic shirt underneath the flight suit. The logo depicts the simplified black silhouette of a rabbit before a burning star of blue, yellow, orange, red, and white. Below that striking logo design is the organisation’s abbreviated name in bold pomp and power lettering. Each member possesses a badge with their position and the depiction of a planet or moon. However, her badge is the only one in her group that depicts the Sun and the title of commander. The sleeves of her uniform jacket are sometimes rolled up or the jacket is wrapped around her waist. Beneath Ephoszumina’s standard uniform, she wears a white button down shirt and a tangerine undershirt. On her left uniform arm, her country’s flag is that of Ireland. Sometime after the spaceship crash, she wears a drop leg holster attached to a flexible waistband and the uniform’s left arm would be ripped off and has some mostly seamless stitching on the lower back area. The back of her ankle-length olive brown cargo pants would receive some crude stitching on the buttocks area and behind her left leg. She wears a solitaire wedding band with a princess-shaped diamond below her engagement ring on the left ring finger. She also has a spacesuit that has her commander badge and Ireland flag in the same places as her flight suit. She occasionally wears a bronze shawl with floral patterns of saffron, red-violet, ruddy blue, and pale rose with a silver amphisbaena engulfed in flames on the back. When wearing her shawl, she dons a pair of dirty brown jeans, which are both gifted from her lover, Friedoschalk.

Besides her BRSEC ID, she holds onto a very special photograph of her with her deceased husband, Veljahomius. As the commander who survived a spaceship crash and is roaming through alien planets, she has a few weapons on her person. One of the weapons she wields is an energy weapon with a sling that’s partially modelled off of the Russian RGS-50M. Instead of regular bullets or the ammunition that the RGS-50M uses, it shoots out either blasts or large orbs of slow-moving energy, but that greatly depends on the firing settings. Another weapon on her person is a double-barrelled pistol with a built-in flash suppressor. Ephoszumina also has a multi-purpose taser that fires three stun probes and is partially based off of the Raysun X-1. The energy weapon is named the Blazing Whispers 0.3, the double-barrelled pistol is called the Zermillionus LCTI-7390, and the taser is referred to as the Weather’s Eye J-XT81. She wears a highly advanced black, blue, and gold wristwatch given to her by the BRSEC, appearing to be modelled after the DB28 Kind of Blue Tourbillon and Rotonde de Cartier Earth and Moon Watch. It’s capable of faster-than-light communication, notifications in regards to receiving work-related emails, passwords to access confidential documents, and telling the time. This very special model of watch is referred to as the BRSEC-35 Cirrostratus Parhelia.

As a result of the various strange and unorthodox chemicals and injections that the Zraphelostund Vermuzokilas used on her and her crew, she has gained a few abilities. The tips of her fingers have tiny holes that can produce a black ink that burns through any material present in the multiverse. She has telekinesis, slow organic reconfiguration to heal any inflicted wound, and the ability to read minds. She can intuitively translate and learn ancient human languages and unfamiliar dialects, and her body is resistant to all temperatures. She can vomit up corrosive acid, spew toxic gasses, scale walls and ceilings, and manipulate metal, water, and marine life.

FUN FACTS/EXTRA INFORMATION:

She’s demisexual

Her birthday is April 12th (Aries)

Her blood type is A-

In regards to her ethnicity, she’s 50% Irish, 37.5% British, and 12.5% Portuguese.

She used to have a Borzoi, but he died from cardiomyopathy.

She has double-jointed fingers

Besides English, she knows five different languages, which are Korean, German, Afrikaans, Portuguese, and Greek. However, she does know some Dutch as a result of her deceased husband.

She originally wanted to be a marine biologist due to her fascination and love for the ocean and its unique aquatic life. However, she became an astronaut for the Galactic Investigation of Anomalous Phenomena Division (GIAPD) due to reasons she doesn’t want to talk about.

She used to get teased a lot the time she first worked at the GIAPD, but it didn't last very long after she beat up a sexist coworker and reported him to his superiors.

Her grandfather's place was near a cozy beach and that's why she's learned to like it as she grows up.

She likes cappuccino, sea foam, the sounds of the ocean, marine biology, her grandfather’s bike, the spectacular sights of space, her husband and the memories they made together, birds in general, rare dog breeds, and the outdoors.

She likes to listen to the sounds of ocean waves she saved on her phone when she’s having trouble sleeping.

She dislikes the taste of cooked almonds, the uncomfortable vastness of outer space, black holes, social isolation, death, funerals, having an upset stomach after eating spicy foods or drinking booze, dangerous machinery, sexual harassment, and wasting food.

Her hobbies consist of mountain biking, playing badminton, metal detecting, doing word scrambles, reading short stories, trying out magic tricks, collecting bird-themed items and seashells, and going to cozy cafés, pet shops, and non-commercial beaches after a stressful day at work.

Her favourite planets inside the Solar System is Saturn and Neptune

Her favourite animals are the barn owl, mountain hare, Araneus diadematus, horse, and goldcrest.

When she was a kid, she used to like going to an aquarium due to her love of jellyfishes, sea anemones, starfishes, and other small fishes.

Her favourite flowers are the ragged robin, bog rosemary, wood anemone, and cuckoo flower.

Her favourite comfort foods are colcannon, Gur cake, jambon, and garlic cheese chips.

Due to her tritanopia colour blindness, it’s difficult to identify certain hues. From what she can see, her favourite colours are lapis lazuli and rose vale.

Her biggest pet peeves are obnoxiously loud yawning, leaving drawers and cabinets open, not screwing lids on bottles and containers all the way, people who comment on what she’s eating, heating up smelly food in a work kitchen, being condoned to a gender-based stereotype, and microaggression.

During her time at the Galactic Investigation of Anomalous Phenomena Division (GIAPD), she has encountered a few strange things before. She has come face-to-face with a couple of extraterrestrial spacecraft and a few alien beings, most commonly the Lacebozritus Reptuzolvas or lizard-folk as many like to call them. From what she's seen and heard, the lizard-folk often work with the GIAPD as they possess superior knowledge in outer space like how it functions, what are the potential dangers, and more. During a field research study on gravitational forces, she caught a glimpse of a supermassive black hole. She has also witnessed two gamma-ray bursts, four quasars, and a galactic cannibalism event. She can even vividly recall seeing a couple of planets and an exoplanet outside of our solar system mysteriously collapse into themselves.

At one point in Ephoszumina’s life during her high school years, she used to be quite a nerd because she read books a lot and focused on her studies more than her other classmates. She also got those thick glasses as well, which many people made fun of. However, when she grew up, she preferred to put contact lenses on instead because she thought those glasses looked ridiculous on her.

Sometimes when she sits down it hurts her because of the injury around her butt, so she tries to avoid sitting down as much as possible.

Her prosthetic arm occasionally doesn’t function properly, so she gets it checked out every Sunday.

She paces a lot when thinking

She has a tendency to talk to herself

She knows a myriad of useless trivia

Ephoszumina secretly loves watching “bad” movies

Ephoszumina sleeps with her old baby blanket

She’s a contortionist

She can’t drive well

She usually taps her fingernails on hard surfaces

Ephoszumina’s guilty pleasure is following conspiracy theories that are considered to be blatantly false and out-of-this-world.

sweet sixteen 🎉 - hello can you do a Percy Jackson x reader, when the reader have a teddy bear, that she lost and Percy found it because he know, how it mean for her/they/ he

absolutely!! <3 and as someone who sleeps with the same teddy ive had since birth... yeah this personal

🎉

a camp full of disorganized, adhd teenagers was a camp in which things went missing very often. unless eaten by a harpy, these things usually turned up weeks later, a little worse for wear, but there all the same.

but for three years you'd protected your bear from the endless abyss of 'lost'. so you cursed frantically upon the realisation it's disappeared.

"everything alright here?" percy leaned in your doorway with an eyebrow raised at the mess you'd created in turfing up your bed looking.

you forced a smile, convincing yourself it hardly mattered, you'd faced giants, you could sleep without your teddy bear for a few nights until it turned up.

that night, at the campfire, you dedicated your offering of food to the goddess of tracing and tracking, ichnaea.

maybe she didn't like your food, or maybe she was busy, but your bear didn't turn up that night, and it was an even more fitful sleep than a demigod expects.

"think i found something of yours."

you shot upright, glancing around your cabin to see if anyone else was awake. that's when you saw percy at your window, holding your bear in his hands. excited to see your bear boyfriend, you opened the glass panels quickly.

"it rolled under my bed, noticed it while tidying. here." percy passed it through, and you hugged him as best you could, given the window space.

"since when do you tidy so long before an inspection?"

a pause, then, "shush. i have a reputation."

Character Intro: Dyssebeia (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- The Untouchable Goddess by the people of Olympius

Bess by the others

Bessie by Hybris

Age- 40 (immortal)

Location- Little Sparta, New Olympus

Personality- She has little respect or reverance for authority or anything deemed "normal" & conventional. She lives by her rules and is unapologetically herself. She's pansexual and is currently single.

She has the the standards abilities of a goddess except shapeshifting. As the goddess of ungodliness & impiety her other powers/abilities include anti energy manipulation, electric field negation, molecular combustion, phasing (is able to pass through solid objects/materials), & energy absorption through touch (can temporarily absorb another deity's abilities, personality, memories, and physical traits).

Her immediate family includes her father Kydoimos (god of uproar & battlefield confusion) and her younger brother Koros (god of surfeit & disdain).

Bess lives in a high rise loft apartment in the Little Sparta neighborhood of New Olympus. There are a few metal furniture pieces with the color scheme being in shades of gray, burgundy, red, and black. Several of her own sculptural pieces (made from fire glass) are scattered throughout her loft. There are pets- some spiders & tarantulas as well as a dragon- a giant red and bronze scaled beast known as "Xuvra the Cannibal." It's rumored that she has devoured other dragons half her size in addition to tearing other ones into pieces as well as snacking on clutches of eggs! It took almost twenty years for Xuvra & Bess to finally be bonded.

She's well known for her hard to miss physical appearance- her thick arched tattooed eyebrows, her many tattoos & piercings (including a split tongue), her curvaceous body (and bountiful chest), & her long vibrant dark scarlet red hair.

Favorite drinks for her include bloody marys, rum & cokes, mulled wine, negronis, and red sangrias. She also likes the strawberry milkshakes from The Frozen Spoon. Her usuals from The Roasted Bean are the large iced coffee, an olympian sized dark chocolate mocha, and a medium cranberry-dragonfruit splash.

Bess wears a pair of specialized gloves (designed & crafted by Hephaestus) when she's in contact with deities and people which counteracts her energy absorbtion ability.

She generally gets a bad rep among the general public (because of her domain and opinions) & her peers in the pantheon. Her induction ceremony had the lowest number of attendees. Bess often laughs at the fervor a lot of the people have when it comes to the gods, the temples, and offerings. Her op-ed piece in The Oracle and her appearance on The Agnostic Network certaintly didn't help with the general favorability. She does have a slow growing fan base on Fatestagram, calling her supporters her "chaotics."

Her favorite make-up products include the Olmorfia gel nail polish in "Midnight Drive", a dark blue-black color & the Olmorfia gel eyeliner in "Ruby Ballroom", a bright metallic red color.

In the panheon Bess' best friend is Hybris (goddess of insolence, hubris, & reckless pride). They often go riding on dragonback together and she'll stay over at Hybris' place in Themiscyra. Philotes (goddess of sex, friendship, & affection) and Kéfi (goddess of mirth) are friendly towards her as well. Bess is also close friends with Kakia (goddess of vice & moral wrongdoing), Psionikós (god of the mind), Adikia (goddess of injustice & wrongdoing), Lethe (Titaness of forgetfulness, oblivion, & concealment), Perses (Titan god of destruction), Ichnaea (goddess of tracking), Palioxis (goddess of backrush & retreat), Enyo (goddess of war, destruction, bloodlust, & devastation), Ioke (goddess of pursuit, tumult, & battle rout), Asteria (Titaness of falling stars, astrology, magic, necromancy, & nocturnal oracles and prophecies), Palaestra (goddess of wrestling), Alastor (god of blood feuds & vengeance), Proioxis (goddess of attack, onrush, & battlefield pursuit), Apate (goddess of fraud & deception), and Aplistos (god of avarice). She's the godmother to Dysnomia (goddess of anarchy & lawlessness). Bess dislikes Eusebeia (Bea) (goddess of piety, loyalty, duty, & filial respect), The Litae, Aeschyne (goddess of modesty & honor), and Pistis (goddess of trust, reliability, & good faith).

As for her love life, she has slept with Philotes and her husband Priapus (god of fertility, vegetable gardens, livestock, sexuality, & masculinity) a few times. Her last fling was with Menoetius (Titan god of rage, violence, & rash actions). She's currently chatting with a maenad and satyr on a dating app.

Her favorite desserts are the red velvet cake, fudge lava cake, & cinnamon rolls from Hollyhock's Bakery.

Bess' go-to hair product is the Glory's Crown cinnamon hair oil.

Her usual from The Bread Box is the sriracha barbeque pulled pork sandwich with a small black bean & quinoa soup.

Her income comes from endorsing Plutopack, modeling for Apokomména Nímata (The Moirai's fashion brand), and being a part of the wrestling entertainment- her stage name being The Bloody Baroness. A popular match for her was the tag team event with her & Hybris versus Antiope and Penthesilea (who are Amazons). She surprisingly has her own glamour doll collectible!

A favorite splurge for her was a pair of red latex platform boots from atelier fantaisie! The best three hundred drachmas ever spent!

Once when Bess accidentally absorbed some of Zeus' energy and abilities, she spent the majority of her day on Xuvra shooting lightning bolts in the sky till one strong bolt struck & destroyed a huge chunk of his temple in the state of Elis. She prefers to call that "a happy accident."

Some of her favorite meals include fried calamari (with spicy squid ink dipping sauce), cucumber rolls, brisket with sweet & sour onions, cabbage coleslaw soup, and a white rice-kielbasa skillet!

In her free time Bess enjoys riding on dragonback, mountain climbing, tantric yoga, charcoal drawing, ink painting, clubbing, axe throwing, sword fighting, & lava surfing.

"When I kneel it's not before a god."

The Volturi Gaurd as Gods

Aro: Coeus

Aro is the primary leader of the Volturi and has the power of tactile telepathy. Unlike his brothers, he does find humans more interesting, and not just as a source of food. He sees them as a source of entertainment. He reminds me of the god Coeus. Coeus was the titans of inquisitive minds and intellect. Both he and Aro are very curious creatures.

Caius: Anaideia

Caius is a ruthless leader, he’s extremely cynical and pessimistic. Aro was drawn to his ambition and need for vengeance. He posses no special ability of his own. Anaideia is the goddess of ruthlessness, shamelessness and unforgivingness. She was opposite the goddess of Mercy, which is why I think Caius and Athenodora work so well together.

Marcus: Eros

Marcus has the ability to view and understand relationships and bonds. He can use this ability to discover the mates of those in his coven, and those who wish to deja out his guidance. He is similar to Eros, the god of passion and fertility. Also the god who sees over marriages and bonds.

Sulpicia: Mnemosyne

Mnemosyne is the goddess of memory, and resides over the souls in the pool of hades. She helped people to forget their past lives after reincarnation. Sulpicia is Aro’s mate and has the power to read every thought someone has through touch. She isn’t mentioned much in either the books or the movies, but she gives off the kind and caring for damaged soul vibes that Mnemosyne has.

Athenodora: Ananke

Ananke is the personification of inevitability, compulsion and necessity. She is a primordial deity. She is the most powerful dictator of fate. Athenodora is mated to Caius, a cruel and ambivalent ruler. She used to rule by his side before he hid her away for her own safety. She helps to calm Caius and is the more rational side of his decision making.

Didyme: Euphorosyne

Didyme was Marcus’s mate. She was brutally murdered at the hands of Aro to prevent his brother from leaving the coven. She had the gift to bring joy and happiness to those around her. She reminds me of Euphorosyne, the goddess off cheer, joy and mirth. She was extremely beautiful and brought pleasant moments and tranquility to those around her.

Chelsea: Carna

Chelsea can influence the ties between people. She is a high ranking member in the guard. She’s the glue that holds the coven together and protects the queens. She reminds me of the goddess Carna, she brings strength to those in need. She is the protector of flesh and soul.

Jane: Algos

Jane has the opposite power of her twin. Instead of numbing the senses, she can cause immense pain. And she takes great pleasure in doing so. It’s one of the reasons the kings value her so much. Algos is the personification of physical and mental pain.

Alec: Shezmu

Shezmu is the Egyptian god of execution, slaughter and blood. He was a complex deity with qualities of both light and dark. This reminds me of Alec and his sensory deprivation skills. He uses them mostly to appease the blood lust of the kings, but sometimes can use them to give mercy upon victims. He could make you’re death less painful.

Felix: Deimos

Deimos is the personification of fear and terror. He more specifically represent the feeling you get right before battle. Felix is the primary executioner of the Volturi, you know when he’s coming you’re not going to live much longer. His sheer size alone strikes fear into many. That is why he has a high rank on guard.

Demetri: Ichnaea

Ichnaea is the tracker god. They were another personification deity who’s attributes were applied to many of the greater gods. Demetri is the volturi’s best tracker. He can hunt anyone from anywhere in the world and has the nose of a blood hound. He can track people by infiltrating their minds to see where they are.

Heidi: Venus

Heidi is the bringer of food and humans, she is in charge of luring victims into the place for the rest of the guard to feast on. She uses her good looks and charm to lure in hoards of people to their deaths. She is incredibly cunning and manipulative. She reminds me of the goddess Venus, often likened to that of Aphrodite. She was incredibly beautiful and dubbed one of the goddesses of love and lust.

Afton: Lelantus

Afton greatly reminds me of the Titan Lelantus! He was one of the youngest of all of the titans, and had the ability to move so fast he couldn’t be seen by mortal or gods eyes alike. He was incredibly gifted in stalking and hunting pretty, being able to sneak up on them. Acton posses the skill to appear invisible. The Volturi don’t see his gift as very useful, and the only reason he is on the guard is do you his mate Chelsea.

Santiago: Kratos

Santiago posses no special abilities, but Aro saw something in him and adopted him into the coven anyway. He’s usefulness falls in his superior strength and his incredible ability to strategise and think quickly. He reminds me of Kratos, the devine personification of strength. Kratos sits besides Zeus and is one of the highest Garuda amongst the gods. He is brilliant in all things war and fighting, and is an amazing protector.

Corin: Eleos

Eleos is the personification of clemency, mercy, compassion and pity. She is described as being the most useful to human life. She is the most empathetic of the gods. Corin was blessed with the power of contentment, and can easily bestow it upon others. Similar to Jasper’s emotional control, but her power is limited to the one feeling.

Renata: Averruncus

Averruncus is the god of averting harm. They have both the ability to heal, or cause mass distraction. Making them a god who must be propositioned in order to choose sides, they can be swayed either way. Renata is Aro’s personal body guard, and has the ability to repel opponents. This is similar to the way Averruncus protects some people for on harm, but at the same time can inflict it upon the people intending to cause harm.

Mele: Minerva

Mêle has the ability to absorb other special abilities. In life and death, she uses their ability to steal Aro’s power and kill him, becoming covert leader. She reminds me of Minerva, the goddess Of wisdom, strategy, law and victory. Minerva is one of the smartest goddess, and is known to be able to even fool other gods with ease.

AN: Yes I know some of the gods and their vampire counterparts don't match gender-wise. But I'm under the belief that gods transcend human gender so...

I think Amphitrite is honestly an underrated goddess/ immortal.

I mean she’s Poseidon’s wife - i thought there would be more talk about her.

In order to change that i put this together to educate people about her.

I like the fact she never gets jealous of Poseidon’s cheating. I mean she is constantly getting cheated on but she seems pretty chill (she represents the calm seas so that may have something to do with it) and she even helps Poseidon’s kids (like Theseus.)

I like her lol

(Lowkey feel like she was done dirty in Percy Jackson. Literally the only representation and shes jealous and spiteful oof.)

Biography

Parents : Oceanus and Thetis or Nereus and Doris.

Greek : Amphitrite (Meaning - The Surrounding Third/Sea)

Roman : Salacia (Meaning - The Salty One)

Amphitrite was essentially the Primadorial goddess Thalassa (the sea) the female personification of the seas.

[Whereas Poseidon was essentially the Primadorial god Pontus - the male personfication of the seas]

Amphitrite is said to counter Poseidon as Poseidon represents the salty, uncontrollable seas (see - Poseidons wrath in myth for symbolic terms of this) whilst Amphitrite is said to represent the calm ocean’s (see - she isn’t wrathful like Hera towards Poseidon’s bastards, she understands the kids can’t help being the child of their father - she also doesn’t get involved in olympian affairs as much as she could.)

Amphitrite was often depicted in the artistic decorations of Poseidon's temples. Presumably she was honoured alongside the god.

Her children include her son Triton and her daughters Rhode, Benthesikme and Kymopoleia.

Poseidon (Her marriage)

Nereid Amphitrite gained the attention of Poseidon for her blue, dark eyes and beauty (some say it was her fiery personality that drew him in.)

However, Amphitrite knew full well what Poseidon’s advances meant and fled and so the Nereid hid herself away near Atlas, east of the Mediterranean.

Her disappearance only caused Poseidon to become more infatuated eith marrying her. And so he sent sea creatures to find her.

Delphin came across her and persuaded her to marry Poseidon, reluctantly she returned and they were wed.

Poseidon was so thankful he placed Delphin in the stars.

Theseus (Amphitrite with bastard kids of Poseidon.)

Amphitrite is a direct contrast with Hera - she does not go after the women her husband bed, nor does she go after his children.

In the case of Theseus : Minos doubted his parentage. He titled Theseus a liar, declaring him no son of the sea/ Poseidon.

Minos threw his ring into the ocean, told Theseus to get it to prove he was a child of Poseidon.

Amphitrite heard of the challenge, and when Theseus went to return the ring - she gifted him her crown and claimed him as her son in order to prove he was a son of Poseidon.

There’s also no myth of Amphitrite never going after Poseidon’s women.

—

Small Fun Fact

When Leto gave birth due to Poseidon granting her passage or to her sister Asteria’s intervention and help, Amphitrite helped her.

—

Evidence I Used

AMPHITRI′TE (Amphitritê), according to Hesiod (Theog. 243) and Apollodorus

(i. 2. § 7) a Nereid, though in other places Apollodorus (i. 2. § 2, i. 4. § 6) calls her an Oceanid. She is represented as the wife of Poseidon and the goddess of the sea (the Mediterranean), and she is therefore a kind of female Poseidon. In the Homeric poems she does not occur as a goddess, and Amphitrite is merely the name of the sea. The most ancient passages in which she occurs as a real goddess is that of Hesiod above referred to and the Homeric hymn on the Delian Apollo (94), where she is represented as having been present at the birth of Apollo. When Poseidon sued for her hand, she fled to Atlas, but her lover sent spies after her, and among them one Delphinus, who brought about the marriage between her and Poseidon, and the grateful god rewarded his service by placing him among the stars.

(Tzetz. ad Lycoph. 45, 649.) She became by Poseidon the mother of Triton, Rhode, or Rhodos, and Benthesicyme.

(Hesiod. Theog. 930, &c.; Apollod. i. 4. § 6; iii. 15. § 4.) Later poets regard Amphitrite as the goddess of the sea in general, or the ocean. (Eurip. Cycl. 702; Ov. Met. i. 14.) Amphitrite was frequently represented in ancient works of art; her figure resembled that of Aphrodite, but she was usually distinguished from her by a sort of net which kept her hair together, and by the claws of a crab on her forehead. She was sometimes represented as riding on marine animals, and sometimes as drawn by them. The temple of Poseidon on the Corinthian isthmus contained a statue of Amphitrite

(Paus. ii. 1. § 7), and her figure appeared among the relief ornaments of the temple of Apollo at Amyclae (iii. 19. § 4). on the throne of the Olympian Zeus, and in other places. (v. 2. § 3, comp. i. 17. § 3, v. 26. § 2.) We still possess a considerable number of representations of Amphitrite. A colossal statue of her exists in the Villa Albani, and she frequently appears on coins of Syracuse. The most beautiful specimen extant is that on the arch of Augustus at Rimini.

Halosydne (Halosudnê), that is, “the seafed,” or the sea born goddess, occurs as a surname of Amphitrite and Thetys. (Hom. Od. iv. 404, Il. xx. 207.)

Theseus

Pausanias, Description of Greece 1. 17. 3 (trans. Jones) (Greek travelogue C2nd A.D.) :

“[Minos king of Krete (Crete)] hurled insults at him [Theseus] and denied that he was a son of Poseidon, since he could not recover for him the signet-ring, which he happened to be wearing, if he threw it into the sea. With these words Minos it is said to have thrown the ring, but they say that Theseus came up from the sea with that ring and also with a gold crown that Amphitrite had given him.”

Pseudo-Hyginus, Astronomica 2. 5 (trans. Grant) (Roman mythographer C2nd A.D.) :

“Minos is said to have drawn a gold ring from his finger and cast it into the sea. He bade Theseus bring it back, if he wanted him to believe he was a son of Neptunus [Poseidon] . . . Theseus, without any invoking of his father or obligation of an oath, cast himself into the sea. And at once a great swarm of dolphins, tumbling forward over the sea, led him through gently swelling waves to the Nereides. Say that the crown came from the wife [Amphitrite] of Neptunus, and Theseus is said to have given it to Ariadne as a gift, when on account of his valor and courage she was given to him in marriage.”

Pseudo-Hyginus, Astronomica 2. 17 (trans. Grant) (Roman mythographer C2nd A.D.) :

“Constellation Delphin. Eratosthenes [Hellenistic poet C3rd B.C.] and others give the following reason for the dolphin’s being among the stars. Amphitrite, when Neptunus [Poseidon] desired to wed her and she preferred to keep her virginity, fled to Atlas. Neptunus sent many to seek her out, among them a certain Delphin, who, in his wandering s among the islands, came at last to the maiden, persuaded her to marry Neptunus, and himself took charge of the wedding. In return for this service, Neptunus put the form of a dolphin among the constellations.”

Amphitrite’s Marriage

Virgil, Georgics 1. 29 ff (trans. Fairclough) (Roman bucolic C1st B.C.) :

“You [Caesar praised as if he were Neptunus (Poseidon)] come as god of the boundless sea and sailors worship your deity alone, while farthest Thule owns your lordship and Tethys with the dowry of all her waves buys you to wed her daughter [Amphitrite].”

Oppian, Halieutica 1. 38 ff (trans. Mair) (Greek poet C3rd A.D.) :

“The Dophins : Poseidon loves them exceedingly, inasmuch as when he was seeking Amphitrite the dark-eyed daughter of Nereus who fled from his embraces, Delphines (the Dolphins) marked her hiding in the halls of Okeanos (Oceanus) and told Poseidon; and the god of the dark hair straightway carried off the maiden. Her he made his bride, queen of the sea, and for their tidings he commended his kindly attendants and bestowed on them exceeding honour for their portion.”

Helping Leto

Homeric Hymn 3 to Delian Apollo 89 ff (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C7th - 4th B.C.) :

"Leto [on the island of Delos] was racked nine days and nine nights with pangs beyond wont. And there were with her all the chiefest of the goddesses, Dione and Rheia and Ikhnaie (Ichnaea) and Themis and loud-moaning Amphitrite and the other deathless goddesses. Then the child leaped forth to the light, and all the goddesses raised a cry. Straightway, great Phoibos (Phoebus) [Apollon], the goddesses washed you purely and cleanly with sweet water, and swathed you in a white garment of fine texture, new-woven, and fastened a golden band about you."

Greek gods and goddesses that remind me of cottage core

Requested by @reesie8261 I hope this was good! I’m a bit rusty but I did my best ☺️ enjoy!

Hestia. She’s the smell of earth after it rains, the feeling of your toes in fresh dirt, she is the feeling of home

Hermès. He’s the sound of your feet hitting the ground in a game of chase or when your mom tells you to go tell your family that dinner is ready. He is in the notes you write and stick in the river. Maybe someone will find them or they’ll be adrift until it decays. Either way he’s the feeling of simplicity

Dione. She’s the bandaid your friend or older sister puts over your scrape with a kiss to make it feel better. She’s in the extra sweater and water that your friend brings to make sure everyone is warm or hydrated. She’s the feeling of comforting motherly love

Ichnaea. She’s the foot prints in the mud you trace all they way through a field and trees. She’s the trail of flowers you follow to the woods. She’s the feeling of finding your way through the back roads without a map or directions. She is the feeling of finding your way back home after a hike

Auxo. She is in the broom you chase away the wild animals from your garden with. She’s picking off the wild bugs and relocating them. She is the feeling of happiness that spreads through your chest when you find out none of you plants were hurt in the previous nights storm

Thallo. She is the one in the buds on the trees you pass when picking fresh berries. She’s the blooming flowers you leave because they’re not ready just yet. She is the feeling of the first day of spring after a fresh rain

Carpo. She in the pies you give in the fall. The pumpkins you buy, the fresh pumpkin bread you make with it. She is the crunch of leaves under your sandals, she is the feeling you get when you see the leaves finally changing into their red and golden colors

Eirene. She’s in the early morning fog when all is quiet. She is the afternoon naps when the sun is warm through your window and your bed is soft. She is the feeling you get after you clear your day. She is the feeling of complete satisfaction and calmness

Eiar. She is the flower crown settled upon your head, she is the feeling of a baby goat nuzzling up against your hand. She is the wet earth under your feet. She’s the feeling of simplicity in spring

Hephaestus. He is in the smell of oak from the fire pit you were roasting marshmallows over. He is in the items you use to craft a wind chime and other decorations. He is the feeling of satisfaction in your craftwork

Gaia. She is singing of the trees in the summer. She’s the feeling of being surrounded by trees and earth. She is the feeling of standing on a big rock barefoot. She’s the happiness you feel when you’re walking in nature

A new Mission: Part Two

(After a lot of time, I decided to write this. Today was a lucky day lol. We basically had three hours of nothing at school + we left earlier) (I'm actually writing this since hours. All those three hours + before dinner + after dinner and Stranger Things)

(I thought a lot about this, and I think that the best option is to do this in another planet, Earth 652-B)

[I was thinking that, in my actual story, this pack should be located on Earth 652-B, or a twin of our Earth (with some differences, like the Midnight Forests). And, there won't be two Daniels, but only one, the mc of my story (I don't know if I told you, but Daniel's an ideal version of me, that's why he has my same name)]

(But now, let's get into the story!)

-------------------------------------------------------

I need to recreate that moment. Or at least the location.

Fortunately, I should be able to recreate it using the holograms at the Headquarters, in the Plans Room.

I want to know. I need to know... where are they.

I need to know... who he was.

And so, I activated the holograms machine, with the hope of recreating the scenery with the help of holograms.

Damn, this is so difficult...

I'm trying to... remember... to recreate...

That pack... why did I have a vision of a pack...? And, first of all... why did I have a vision? Moon, Magic, was it you?

I have to focus... try to remember the scene...

The Red Moon, the bare trees, the mud... where could it be located?

C'mon... just some other details...

And...

Finally!! YES!! IT'S FINISHED!!

Wow, it's soo detailed...

And now, come on, give me the location's name...

Please... don't give me an error...

"The place is located in Earth-652B, Second Twin Solar System, Ichnaea Galaxy."

Wait... that's not far from Nocturnia!!

I was close!!

Oh my... I need to reach them. I want to be with them. I crave to join them.

"Are you sure about that, Daniel? With everything you do, with everything that happens or that might happen, you could put their lives at risk." said Gaia, appearing in front of me

"Don't worry about that, Gaia. If they'll accept me, I'll protect them with my life."

"Also, Gaia, I'm a werewolf. I have my needings. My longings. You can't stop my werewolf side from having them."

"You're always the same, Daniel. You won't change. I wish you good luck." said Gaia, and then, she faded away.

And now, to the Falcon. My precious and modified copy of the mythical Millennium Falcon.

I'll reach them in such a short time. I just hope they'll accept me.

And so, I reached the Falcon, I turned it on, and I started my journey to Earth 652-B, the planet where I'll probably find my pack.

Thanks Moon. If this was your idea, I certainly won't forget it.

Because, I finally might've found the right pack for me.

Activate the portal.

I'll be there in no time.

Crossed it.

And here I am, to the other side. The planet lies in front of me. And it's... quite similar to my earth, if not entirely.

And from here... it's beautiful.

I can't wait to meet them... even though, they might be scared, or even aggressive towards me.

I'll go there transformed. And if they won't accept me, I'll ask them if they could, at the very least, let me talk with the black werewolf.

I need to talk with him. I need to know who is he.

Because... I felt it. I felt a bond within us. Not a bond of love, but a bond of... souls... like we had a bond of twin souls...

It felt like... our souls were almost identical.

"Invisibility: activated."

I hope they won't hear me though. I can make the starship invisible, but I can't cancel its noises.

And so, I finally decided to land on the planet.

Gosh, I swear I might've seen a pack.

I hope with all of myself, that it's not that pack.

But instead... it was that pack. The Rainfang Pack.

And they heard him perfectly.

The Rainfang Pack, in that moment, was doing a ritual: a concert to the Moon.

And that's because, they were preparing for a big hunt.

But before Rain, the Alpha, could speak, all the pack heard a big blast of wind, alongside a strong weird sound.

"Woah... what was that?" said Hunter

"There was nothing in the Sky, yet we all heard a sound! How is that possible??" said Tori

"N-no w-way... i-it can't be..." said Daniel.

"What? What do you mean?" asked Rain

"I think I might know." Daniel answered, with a weird tone

"You might know what?" asked Hunter

"I think I might know... who's arriving." I said

"It's like, a feeling that I have. I feel it in my soul, in my heart." I continued

"Woah, those are big words. And for you, who's arriving?" asked Rain.

"Ehm...-"

"Rain, it's better that we go check for ourselves. It might be dangerous for the pack." said Fern and Hunter together.

"I'll come too." I said.

"I need to know if he's who I'm thinking." I finished.

"Very well, you'll come with us then." Rain said.

And so, they started to follow the direction where the sound stopped.

And Daniel doesn't know at all, that soon, he might meet, the black werewolf and the most important members of the pack that he wanted to join.

Unless...

When I was out of the Falcon, I transformed under the Moonlight. Oh, it's... one of the most beautiful things ever.

I mean, the transformation is painful, but this is the price that I have to pay if I want to be myself.

And now, I have to reach it.

I have to understand if the pack that I might've seen is the one that I'm searching for.

The woods circled the starship's landing zone, and I swear I could feel some magic in the air... could this be... a Midnight Forest?

I don't care now. I'll verify later.

At the moment, all I care about is reaching that pack.

And so, I went to the opposite direction from where I landed with the spaceship, and, in the end, I saw it. I heard it. The pack.

I quickly hid between the trees and the bushes, and thanks to my enhanced hearing, I could still them.

"Rain, it's better that we go check for ourselves. It might be dangerous for the pack."

"I'll come too."

No way, it can't be. They wanted to follow the sounds' direction. Damn, they heard me.

There's only one thing I can do right now. I moved away, and took the distances from the pack. And then...

"AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

The pack heard a loud howl. But they didn't recognize it.

So, whoever this guy was, he was a wolf, or a werewolf.

"Rain, this howl... I can't recognize it. It's not from our pack." said Hunter.

"But I do." said Daniel.

"...it's him."

"...it's him"

Wait, it can't really be.

"Rain, let me handle this." She nodded. I got closer to the forest. I swear I could hear footsteps and the sound of the leaves. I heard them especially from the right, so I got closer once again, and...

"Hey! Is anybody there? We heard you! Come out! Reveal yourself!" I... I hope it's him.

Gosh, this went way worse than I was expecting...

I guess it's time to make my turn.

And so, I stepped out from the bushes, and from the trees. And i got closer to the voice.

In this moment, I'm just... a grey werewolf, in search of a pack, in search of answers... and, in search of a certain black werewolf...

And so, I took the final steps.

I could recognize them. Every single one. And a black werewolf was closer to me than all the rest of the pack.

And aw man, they were angry. Really angry. They were growling, showing their sharp fangs, and preparing their claws. They were defending theirselves, their pack, their territory.

All... except him.

He might be the black werewolf that I'm searching for. He might have recognized me.

This is my turn. It's now or never.

"My name... is Daniel."

"I come in peace, I swear."

"I just wanted to talk... with you." I said, pointing out the black werewolf.

Woah, he might really be...

"Enough guys, I know who he is. Let me talk with him."

"Are you sure about that? You don't even know him, right?" said Hunter

"I know enough. He's not dangerous. Trust me."

He's trying to... protect me?

"My name is Daniel too."

"And I know why you're here. Actually, we both know."

"It's because..."

"I saw you in a vision" we said at the same moment.

I knew it.

"Another vision?" said the werewolf squad

"Yeah, I had another one. It happened yesterday." I answered

"This time though, it was like... we had switched bodies. Because we both had it. For a moment, he was in my body, and I was in his."

I... can't believe it. I... I found him.

"I saw a beautiful place. I was on a great hill. Behind me there was a Midnight Forest, and in front of me, the Forest continued down a valley, with a river that was passing through it."

"The Moon was Full-"

"-and she was magnificent. And the Sky... it simply was- spectacular. It was full of Stars, and I could even see some falling stars. And then, there were the Northern Lights, which danced freely in the sky, and between the trees."

"And it felt like... an endless moment."

"And I," I said, "I've seen you. All of you. I remember every single face."

"It was a Night of Full Moon, but that Night, here, it was a Red Moon."

"And I, I remember it soo well. My vision seemed too, like an endless moment."

"You were in a swamp."

"Some of you were blocked in mid-air, some of you were playing in the mud, some of you were chasing each other..."

"Wait, how could we be blocked in mid-air?" the werewolf squad asked "I told you lots of times! It felt like an endless moment! It felt like time was slowed down, or even blocked!" I answered for him

"Yes, that's what I was trying to say"

"In that moment... gosh, I felt alone, really alone. That's why I'm here. Not just for you, Daniel, but also for this pack..."

"So, who's... the Alpha here?"

Wait, does he...?

"I am. The name's Rain." Rain said with an intimidating voice

"Rain, what a beautiful name..."

"I... I'd like to join, if... like, I know that... we don't even know each other, but... if you don't want to... I'll return to be a loner, I guess... and I'll waste this opportunity given to me by the Moon."

"You WHAT?" the pack asked Yeah, I knew it. She really is capable of everything...

I felt exactly the same, Daniel. Alone, entirely alone, and I craved to join a pack so much... but then, the Moon saved me. Rain, please, say yes. You can't deny the Moon's calling. For his own good, for our own good...

"If the Moon sent you here, I can't deny her calling. It'd be a taboo if I didn't follow her rules." Rain said "So, if she sent you here, there must be a reason, right? And I'm pretty sure that the reason is... finding happiness." "So, for the Moon's Blessing, you're one of us now, Daniel. You're now part of the Rainfang Pack!" she said with a smile on her face "And now, shall we celebrate the new member?" "YES! TO THE NEW MEMBER! AND TO THE MOON!!" "AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" the entire pack howled, included me, to welcome the new member, and to thank the Moon

"AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" I joined the pack's howl

After... all this time... I was, craving... I almost lost hope...

But, hope never fades, right, Moon, or should I say, Magic?

Thank you. I won't forget it.

I am finally part of a pack. Gosh, I can't wait to show them all the beautiful places... that the Multiverse contains...

Now, I want to see it clearly. And so, after we finished our wolfish chorus... "Daniel, I need-" I said.

Wait, has he thought my same idea...?

"Do you want our hands to touch, and then let Magic do the rest, don't you?" I asked him

"So, you had my same idea!" I said to him, excitedly

"Yes! Yes!!" I said happily

This is really him. I might have found... my twin soul brother...

"Under the Light of the Moon-"

"-we shall touch our hands-"

"to see if we share the souls of two brothers!" we said at the same time

And when we touched our hands... we felt it. Together. Our souls, they're almost identical. Our worlds touched. And so, for a moment, I was able to see on his side, and he on my side. That's how I finally understood why our souls aren't totally identical. It's because his soul... it has... something special...

Born to become werewolves... that's what we are. Chosen by Fate, to be different from all the others.

In the end, even if he never wanted to be a werewolf, when he became one, in the end, he accepted it. And now he couldn't live without it.

And if it wasn't for the fact that mine was born to be a Divine Soul, our souls would be 100% identical.

This honestly felt like I had found... a lost brother... a twin brother...

In that moment, I felt so happy, that I hugged him.

Wow, I actually wasn't expecting this, but I really accept it.

And after a moment of embarassment...

"And now... gosh I've waited a lot to tell this... I want to take all of you on a journey."

"Daniel, the place that you saw in the vision", I said, "it's called Nocturnia."

"And it's the planet where Magic originated. And where the Night is eternal."

"Wait, WHAT?" the entire pack said, and me too "The planet where magic originated? AND A PLACE OF ETERNAL NIGHT???" the werewolf squad was extremely curious, and I was too "I WANT TO GO THERE IMMEDIATELY!!" Tori said excitedly "YES, ALL OF US WANT TO GO THERE!!!" Hunter said. Actually, I've never seen him this energetic "BUT HOW CAN WE REACH ANOTHER PLANET???" I asked myself

"Oh, I have the solution, don't worry. This, for your eyes, will be spectacular."

I turned myself to the direction where I came from, and...

"リ𝙹ᓵℸ ̣ ⚍∷リ╎ᔑ" I said while gesturing

We felt a huge blast of wind. A portal opened in front of me.

Ah, the old Magic. When I don't have any tools, I can rely on her.

"Woah" the entire werewolf squad said (included me) "This is spectacular..." A big purple portal full of runes opened in front of our eyes... but wait, they're the same... yes, those are definitely the Forest's Access Gate runes. I wonder why...?

"This is Nocturnia, the planet where Magic originated, also known as the Planet of the Eternal Night."

The entire pack crossed the portal. For a moment, they remained... almost petrified... at the mere sight of the planet's beauty.

Then, they went in all the directions, staying close to the portal's zone. Some were playing, some were exploring, and some were beholding that natural show. Daniel was one of them. He remained by my side.

"This is the most beautiful place that I've ever seen... even better than the vision itself..."

"And for me, this is a werewolf's true home..."

"AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"

"AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" "AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" "AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

Wow... when I howled, Daniel answered me, then the other werewolves, and then the rest of the pack...

So, this... this is how a werewolf feels like when he has found the right pack... he feels happiness... he feels a bond... he feels that, he has... a family.

---------------------

I only hope that... nothing will ever happen to them. Because little they know, of who I really am.

At least, now I'll be able to reach this place a lot more easily thanks to the help of portals...

Moon please, give them protection. [YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MANY HOURS I'VE SPENT WRITING THIS. THIS MIGHT BE THE LONGEST STORY THAT I WROTE FOR THE PACK. Gosh, I'm exhausted, but I wanted to finish it...]

[I hope you'll like it!! And now, before I fall asleep on the keyboard, let me take my Millenniun Falcon and fly away from here... TO INFINITY AND BEYOND, which is my bed lol]

(I actually posted this by mistake. There's still something that should be modified. But, at this point, you could try to tell me your full opinions about this!)

Seeing as this is what I do when I find a new fandom to obsess with, here’s my two cents on sorting the Shadow and Bone characters into Greek godly parentages in a Percy Jackson AU;

Kaz Brekker, son of Athena: the planner, the schemer, always 10 steps ahead

Jesper Fahey, son of Hermes: gambler, trickster, mischief in his mind, also goats

Inej Ghafa, former huntress of Artemis: a substitute for the place she left behind to join Kaz, also where she learned how to fight, not a demigod, that’s what makes her so special

Alina Starkov, daughter of Apollo: I feel like that’s self-explanatory for the Sun Summoner

Mal Oretsev, son of Ichnaea: Titaness of tracking, because he’s a master-tracker

Aleksander Kirigan, son of Erebus: primordeal (and thus, more powerful) god of darkness, also kind of on the nose

Genya Safin, daughter of Aphrodite: seeing as children of Aphrodite can shapeshift and change their own physical appearance, I’d say that she is particularly gifted and thus can do the same for others

David Kostyk, son of Hephaestus: the tinkerer, the inventor

Zoya Nazyalensky, daughter of Boreas: don’t have a grasp on all the benders yet but if she manipulates wind, a wind god is a good fit

#Shadow and Bone #Inej Ghafa #Jesper Fahey #Kaz Brekker #Aleksander Kirigan #Alina Starkov #Mal Oretsev #Genya Safin #Zoya Nazyalensky #David Kostyk #PJOverse #SaB Spoilers

About the Titans

So here’s a bit of a misconception that’s going around, that the Titans are not gods and are instead an entirely unrelated species.

Although even in antiquity the Titans were confused for the Giants, a non-godly group that fought the Olympians and lost, the Titans were still seen as gods. They are a subgroup of gods, much like the Primordials and the Olympians.

So here I have collected several instances where Titans are called gods; for no matter what group they belong to, those individuals were seen as divine, were seen as the same with the Olympians who came after them.

Astraeus and Eos

Theogony (Hesiod):

Ἀστραίῳ δ᾽ Ἠὼς ἀνέμους τέκε καρτεροθύμους, ἀργέστην Ζέφυρον Βορέην τ᾽ αἰψηροκέλευθον καὶ Νότον, ἐν φιλότητι θεὰ θεῷ εὐνηθεῖσα.

And Eos bore to Astraeus the strong-hearted winds, brightening Zephyrus, and Boreas, headlong in his course, and Notus - the goddess in love slept with the god.

Coeus and Phoebe

Theogony (Hesiod):

Φοίβη δ᾽ αὖ Κοίου πολυήρατον ἦλθεν ἐς εὐνήν· κυσαμένη δὴ ἔπειτα θεὰ θεοῦ ἐν φιλότητι Λητὼ κυανόπεπλον ἐγείνατο,

And again, Phoebe came to the bed of desired Coeus; and in love the goddess for the god bore and gave birth to cyan-robed Leto,

Cronus

Saturnalia (Lucian):

ΚΡΟΝΟΣ: ...οὐκ αἰδεσθεὶς πολιὸν οὕτω καὶ πρεσβύτην θεόν.

CRONUS: ...and you don’t respect a gray-haired and old god.

Dione and Themis

Homeric Hymn to Apollo:

θεαὶ δ’ ἔσαν ἔνδοθι πᾶσαι ὅσσαι ἄρισται ἔσαν, Διώνη τε Ῥείη τε Ἰχναίη τε Θέμις καὶ ἀγάστονος Ἀμφιτρίτη,

and there were with her [Leto] all the chiefest of the goddesses, Dione and Rhea and Ichnaea and Themis and loud-moaning Amphitrite,

Hecate

Theogony (Hesiod):

οὐδ᾽, ὅτι μουνογενής, ἧσσον θεὰ ἔμμορε τιμῆς,

the goddess doesn’t receive any less honour because she’s only-born,

Helios

Odyssey (Homer):

δεινοῦ γὰρ θεοῦ αἵδε βόες καὶ ἴφια μῆλα, Ἠελίου, ὃς πάντ' ἐφορᾷ καὶ πάντ' ἐπακούει.

for these are the cows and goodly sheep of a dread god, the Sun, who oversees all things and overhears all things.

Hymn to Artemis (Callimachus):

ἐπεὶ θεὸς οὔποτ᾽ ἐκεῖνον ἦλθε παρ᾽ Ἠέλιος καλὸν χορόν,

and never does the Sun god passes by that lovely dance,

The Sun and the Frogs (Aesop fables; Babrius’ version):

Γάμοι μὲν ἦσαν Ἡλίου θέρους ὥρῃ, τὰ ζῷα δ’ ἱλαροὺς ἦγε τῷ θεῷ κώμους.

The Sun’s wedding was to take place at summer, and all the animals happily celebrated for the god.

Phaethon (Euripides):

[Clymene addresses her son Phaethon]

ΚΛΥΜΕΝΗ: μνησθεὶς ὅ μοὶ ποτ’ εἶφ’ ὅτ’ ηὐνάσθη θεὸς.

CLYMENE: Remind him, what the god told me when he slept with me.

Leto

Homeric Hymn to Apollo:

[The island of Delos addresses Leto]

ἀλλ’ εἴ μοι τλαίης γε, θεά, μέγαν ὅρκον ὀμόσσαι,

Yet if you will but dare to swear, goddess, a great oath,

Mnemosyne

Critias (Plato):

καὶ πρὸς οἷς θεοῖς εἶπες τούς τε ἄλλους κλητέον καὶ δὴ καὶ τὰ μάλιστα Μνημοσύνην.

But besides the gods you have mentioned, I would specially invoke Mnemosyne.

Historic Library (Diodorus Sicelus):

τῶν δὲ Τιτανίδων φασὶ Μνημοσύνην λογισμοὺς εὑρεῖν καὶ τὰς τῶν ὀνομάτων θέσεις ἑκάστῳ τῶν ὄντων τάξαι, [...] προσάπτουσι δὲ τῇ θεῷ ταύτῃ καὶ τὰ πρὸς ἀνανέωσιν καὶ μνήμην γινόμενα παρὰ τοῖς ἀνθρώποις,

Of the Titanesses they say that Mnemosyne discovered the uses of the power of reason, [...] And to this goddess is also attributed the power to call things to memory and to remembrance which men possess,

Prometheus

Prometheus Bound (Aeschylus):

ΠΡΟΜΗΘΕΥΣ: ἴδεσθέ μ’ οἷα πρὸς θεῶν πάσχω θεός.

PROMETHEUS: See what I, a god, suffer from the gods.

Rhea

Homeric Hymn to Apollo:

θεαὶ δ’ ἔσαν ἔνδοθι πᾶσαι ὅσσαι ἄρισται ἔσαν, Διώνη τε Ῥείη τε Ἰχναίη τε Θέμις καὶ ἀγάστονος Ἀμφιτρίτη,

and there were with her [Leto] all the chiefest of the goddesses, Dione and Rhea and Ichnaea and Themis and loud-moaning Amphitrite,

Hymn to Zeus (Callimachus):

εἶπε καὶ ἀντανύσασα θεὴ μέγαν ὑψόθι πῆχυν...

said the goddess and raised her great hand...

Selene

Orphic Hymn to Selene:

Κλῦθι, θεὰ βασίλεια, φαεσφόρε, δῖα Σελήνη,

Listen, goddess queen, light-bringer, divine Moon,

Homeric Hymn to Selene:

Χαῖρε ἄνασσα θεὰ λευκώλενε δῖα Σελήνη

Hail queen goddess white-armed divine Moon

Titans as a whole:

Theogony (Hesiod):

οὐδέ τί μιν Κρονίδης ἐβιήσατο οὐδέ τ᾽ ἀπηύρα, ὅσσ᾽ ἔλαχεν Τιτῆσι μετὰ προτέροισι θεοῖσιν,

The son of Cronus did her [Hecate] no wrong nor took anything away of all that she had been given by the Titans, the former gods.

Now obviously those are not the only examples, there are many out there, but my point is; Titans are gods. So, for example, Mnemosyne is not the “Titan of memory”, she is the “goddess of memory” or the “Titan goddess of memory”. They do not differ, in any meaningful way, from their children the Olympians.
