Hey friend! Happy WBW!

what Greek / Roman gods / mythological figures would your main cast be? (If you've already done Greco - Roman, then maybe Mayan or Egyptian Gods PICK A MYTHOS I GUESS LOL 🤣)

@bloodlessheirbyjacques 🔥✨👀

So, I'm going to not stick to one mythos, because I adore world mythology. So, get ready for a wild ride!! And I'm going to do this for as many characters as I can think of. <3

(P.S., I'm aware this is very European-centric, but that's what I'm most familiar with, and I would need to do a lot more research before I felt comfortable assigning my characters to deities of other mythologies that I'm not familiar with.)

Call of Shadows

Ashlin is perfect to associate with Hermes, the greek god of theives, messengers, and travelers. She's never had a proper home, so she traveled around, at least within her home city for years. Then they moved to their current city, and has been there ever since. But she's going on a big-ass journey with Dorian, and they're literally a theif, so it fits well.

Dorian would be a good fit with Thoth, an Egyptian god associated with knowledge and writing, since Dorian is very curious. Also perhaps Cybele, who is a Roman goddess of nature, moutains, and wild animals. He has been trapped in a tower in the mountains, and he adores nature.

Squish would probably be a good fit for any of a variety of trickster gods and spirits across world mythology, or perhaps a deity associated with laughter? I'm not sure.

Cal would also be Hermes since she was a former thief who now travels, and is in some ways a merchant, which was another thing that Hermes has jurisdiction over.

Theo could easily be any deity associated with healing, of which there are many world-wide.

ATQH:

Fallon could fit with Freyja, Norse goddess of love, fertility, and battle, since she has been dealing with the effects of war her entire life, and also fighting her own personal battles. And obviously, this is largely a love story.

I can see Kristopher being associated with Pluto / Hades, who was cast out of Olympus, and is not the quite as scary as pop culture often depicts him. Most of the myths about him are actually pretty chill, and he's not actually the god of death. He's just the ruler of the underworld, aka, keeping the spirits from, idk, revolting. But he rarely enacted cruel punishments, and mostly just kinda hung out in the underworld. (He let Hercules borrow his dog, ffs, and let Orpheus take his wife back. (until Orpheus screwed up).)

Anyways, the point is that Kristopher was also cast out and demonized by his family, and since Hades / Pluto is also the god of minerals and metals found in the earth, it's kind of fitting given that Kristopher's kingdom makes most of their money from mining.

Hermes is.... well.... it's right there.

I can see Duncan being associated with Apollo, Greek/Roman God of music, healing, and light and prophecy among other things. Duncan is an excellent piano player, likes to sing, and it's also canon that he houses a very talented healer at his estate.

EUROPIAN FANTASY

Looking at the world around me, all I want to do is to crawl into a hole and never come out. but sometimes... just a little bit of hope for the future seeps through the darkness and in those rays of hopeful moments that wash over me...I see myself at another place, with another face and another name... don't get me wrong !! I'm still me.

I see myself as 20 something young lady roaming in the streets of Florence, wondering what that one statue near the duomo represents and marveling over the city's view from the top... gulping down 2 crostatas and still craving for more. trying to ask for directions in my "not so" fluent Latin and ending up getting lost... wondering why ever people thought butcher shops on Ponte Vecchio is a good idea. I see myself trying the famous 'dragon carrot risotto' Agustus waters oh so admired and checking out all the 120 islands of Venice off of my list.

I see myself as a 30 something young lady squinting up at the small moutain of Olympus and wondering why no one in ancient Greece ever dared to check whether there really are gods up there and wandering in Athens trying to imagine the famous 'Athena and Poseidon' fight unfold in the acropolis. I see myself holding the 'the city of bones' and running in the streets of Amsterdam trying to locate the book store clary fray mentioned, visiting the city along with my favorite characters trying to look at it through their eyes.

I see myself as a 40 something lady looking up at Sagrada Familia in Barcelona experiencing the ultimate 'Antoni Gaudi' moment and wondering what he thought of the progress now...marveling at Casa Batllo and laughing at how silly all the houses I ever designed looked in comparison to the masterpiece in front of me. lying on the shores of Tossa de mare staring at the sunset behind the castle covering the sky with all sorts of exotic colors. I see myself flying to Tromso to get a view of the magical northern light sky and almost shedding tears of joy at the beauty of it.

I see myself as 50 something lady trying to convince my friends to just close their eyes and jump, that sky diving is not a scary deal, and that heaven is a heartbeat away. I see myself bungee jumping at the o2 arena and realizing the city doesn't look so good upside down when projected from 160ft after all. still no regrets. questioning if I would ever get over my motion sickness so I can go on a ride on the London eye.

I see myself as a 60 something old lady with white hair sitting on the porch of a wooden cottage in Portugal sipping tea while gazing at the newly bloomed cherry blossoms, considering climbing and fearing falling down like one normally do in their 60s. I see myself being disappointed that I am not ageless like Adeline.

I see myself as a 70 something old lady with the content eyes of a person who has been through a thousand adventures and read a million stories. I see myself at home with a bright smile plastered on my face knowing that life was good to me and being damn ready to embrace the next new adventure.

Newbie Devotee Challenge: Day 18

WE’RE COMING TOWARDS THE END! I realised this challenge will be completed just in time to begin Aphrodite April so AAAAAAAH

Day 18: More research! Today, research the deities that are either related to or close to your deity. Include family, friends, lovers, and enemies. Who is your deity closest to?

I have been reading this ancient texts for hours and they’re actually a lot easier to read than I thought they would be! I’m really enjoying having some harp music in the background while I read through these. I’m putting a read more so you don’t have to scroll for like 30 seconds to get past this post lol.

[WARNING: THIS IS LONG]

All of this information is thanks to theoi.com!

   Aphrodite’s first lover was Hesphaistos, a crippled god of blacksmiths and crafts. She was given to him as a prize for freeing this mother Hera from a golden thrown he has purposefully trapped her in, in resentment for his treatment as a baby (he was thrown off of the mountain of olympus by Hera and Zeus for his disabilities). There are some texts which show a loving nature between them such as this one:

   "Venus [Aphrodite] . . . spoke to her husband, Volcanos [Hephaistos], as they lay in their golden bed-chamber, breathing into the words all her divine allurement [persuading him to forge armour for her son Aeneas in Latium] . . . Since Volcanos [Hephaistos] complied not at once, the goddess softly embraced him in snowdrift arms, caressing him here and there. Of a sudden he caught the familiar spark and felt the old warmth darting into his marrow, coursing right though his body, melting him; just as it often happens a thunderclap starts a flaming rent which ladders the dark cloud, a quivering streak of fire. Pleased with her wiles and aware of her beauty, Venus [Aphrodite] could feel them taking effect. Volcanus [Hephaistos], in love's undying thrall [conceded to her requests] . . . Thus saying, he gave his wife the love he was aching to give her; then he sank into soothing sleep, relaxed upon her breast."

   Reading this made my heart feel so warm, and it made me feel like at one point they did care about one another. However, after Hesphaistos finds out his wife was sleeping with Ares he demanded a divorce (not before quite amazingly and funnily shaming the lovers).

   Her next lover was obviously Ares, who she is later on in the Iliad said to be the consort of, which assumes they were married. To him she bore Phobos, Deimos, Harmonia and Eros. I really love the pairing honestly. Two forms of passion, love and anger, makes for such a dynamic and beautifully destructive relationship! I feel with Ares she is the most happy and loved compared to all her other affairs.

   During a one on one duel with Athene, Ares is badly injured and Aphrodite comes down to rescue him:

“...But taking Ares by the hand the daughter of Zeus, Aphrodite, led him away, groaning always, his strength scarce gathered back into him.”

  Which I think is extremely sweet of her to put herself in the way of the most deadly (and most favoured) goddess in order to protect her lover. Later on in this text it also calls her, “ ...Aphrodite glorious-crowned, the Bride of [Ares] the strong War-god...”

   Her next lover in the sources is Hermes, who famously bore him Hermaphroditus. Hermes fell in love with Aphrodite’s beauty (who wouldn’t), and advanced onto her, to which she rejected. Zeus, witnissing this, pitied him. He sent an eagle to steal one of Aphrodite’s sandals and give it to hermes. In return for her sandal she agreed to sleep with him.

A source to the short translated texts here

   The next lover is... not really a lover. It details the attempted unconsensual encounter of Zeus. (I don’t want to use the other more blatant word because I know how strong it can feel to read that. But keep in mind, in ancient greece “r*pe” meant anything from out of wedlock, consensual sex to kidnapping.)

"Wild his [Zeus'] desire had been for Kypris [Aphrodite], when craving but not attaining he scattered his seed on the ground, and shot out the hot foam of love self-sown, where in the fruitful land horned Kypros flourished the two-coloured generation of wild creatures (pheres) with horns [Kentauroi (Centaurs)]."

  Later on, Aphrodite sleeps with Zeus out of her out own volition. From him she bore the god Priapos. A god made ugly by the curse of Hera, Zeus’ second wife. Aphrodite hurled her hideious child onto a moutain where he was found by a sheppard, who claimed the child had genitals growing from his behind.

I can’t go through all the lovers but I’ll list the rest here and the children she bore them:

DIONYSUS - bore no children (though some texts say Priapos is their child). POSEIDON - bore him Rhodos and Herophilos. NERITIES - bore no children. ADONIS - bore him Beroe. ANKHISES - bore him Aeneas and Lyros. BOUTES - bore him Eryx PHAON - bore no children. PHAETHON - bore him Astynoos

   The true story of Aphrodite’s birth is something that’s very confusing and the majority of mytho-nerds and hp’s alike have come to agree-to-disagree on which one if her main birth story.

Aphrodite Ourania is the Aphrodite who is said to have been born from the severed gentials of Ouranous. This is personally the one I am in favour of because I enjoy the idea of Aphrodite being above even the king of the gods in terms of kin. That love comes before all.

Aphrodite Pandemos is given the birth story of being the daughter of Zeus and the Titaness Dione, this story also gave her the epithets Aphrodite Diôniaia and Aphrodte Dios thugatêr

   Now there is another text which states: “... he [Ouranos] also was the father of Mercury (Hermes) by Dia, and of Venus by Hemera.” However in the same text it also says: “ Out of the drops of his blood sprang the Gigantes, the Melian nymphs, and according to some, Silenus, and from the foam gathering around his limbs in the sea, sprang Aphrodite” So I’m not sure if this one can be completely trusted.

  Aphrodite also has SO many people she has scorned and punished. So I also wont be able to go into detail on all of them or even give a brief description, but here are a small few:

MENELAOS - who had promised the goddess a hundred cattle heads for her blessings to wed Helene. However, when he did not keep his end of the promise, she enloped his wife with Troy.

THE SIX SONS OF POESIDON - Aphrodite attempted to seek refuge on their island after birthing from the ocean. They drove her away and as punishment gave them unheathy sexual drives which lead to their deaths.

EOS - As punishment for sleeping with Aphrodite’s lover Ares, she cursed Eos to have an unquenchable thurst for younger men.

PSYKHE - Originally to be punished for her beauty, she was destined to fall in love with the most horrible beast. But her son wounded himself with his own arrow and carried her away to be his secret bride. When she betrays his trust by gazing upon his face, Aphrodite gives her many seemingly impossible tasks which she succeeds all. In the end Aphrodite accepts Psykhe as her daughter in law and she marries her lover.

MAN THIS TOOK FOREVER BUT IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I felt an overwhelming feeling of calm and joy and I think Aphrodite is very happy that I took so much time out of my day to read about her myths!
