Okay I just realized why i love the Athenide au

It's Shakespeare, it could literally be the premise for one of his plays

You've got the daughter of two warring rivals born at the precise moment of their greatest triumph/humiliation, who both love her desperately but not enough to try and get along

The yearning of the only man worthy of her love forever forbidden from ever pursuing her unless she makes the first move

BUT she won't ever make the first move because she believes she cannot be loved, and that the pining she sees in the man is nothing but a passing fancy and that he'll get bored of her and betray her for someone else

And on top of that she's given herself the ultimately doomed task of caring for demigods, mortal demigods who no matter how hard she tries are all going to die, usually in violent ways. And the ones that don't from quests or monsters still will age and die, because they are mortal and she is not, not anymore. She is doomed to a mother's worst nightmare, she will outlive all her children.

And all of that suffering would be fine because in her mind she's preventing a terrible future for all demigods, but then she dies and it happens anyway and it was all for nothing. In fact it could be argued that the future she was trying to prevent happened BECUASE of her efforts

Shakespeare plays that are my inspiration specifically for of the fountain and are in my Pinterest board: Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet

but something that makes me snicker, is the thought that William Shakespeare is the son of Apollo and thus writes two of his famous plays with a main female character based on his dad’s crush

Ophelia is a Greek name meaning ���help/aid” and I made that one of Perse’s epithets

Juliet and Ophelia both die

Juliet and Ophelia are both told not to pursue Romeo and Hamlet by various people

also the mental image of Triton and Apollo squabbling in Perse’s grave while having a tug of war with her corpse arguing over who loved her more is kind of hilarious

Zoe, before she met Herakles: Oh, goddess of loyalty, please grant me comfort

Perse: Oh, I shall give you much more than that

Zoe: *gasp* Lady Perse! Oh, this one is not worthy!

Perse, Smiling almost sadly: Worthy? I don't know about that... may I see your sword? The one you keep disguised as a comb?

Zoe, confused: O-of course! But what for?

Perse, admiringly: A blade of celestial bronze with a core of adamant. Many great heroes will wield this blade and carve out great legends from history... But none shall be worthy of the example and standard you set for them, none. Never forget this, little nightshade.

Perse, comforting a crying Zoe: I know your hurt runs deep, little nighshade, but know this, Heracles is doomed to a life of misery while you shall live on, fiercely, bravely, so wonderfully beautiful. Mortals will know of his misdeeds and scorn him but you, you shall shine bright like the stars you adore.

Perse, running into Artemis' camp carrying Zoe over her head: ARTY!!!! I FOUND YOU A LIEUTENANT!

Yes, I’ve done the work analyzing this relationship’s problematic traits and I’ve come to the educated conclusion that I still want them to fuck
