Introducing the Acastus Knight Porphyrion.

[reawakened-revenant]

So I was doing research into Acastus (only son of Pelias and brother of Alcestis) because he's relevant in the next part of the God of the Golden Bow, and while I was looking through refs to him in ToposText, I found this one:

When his daughters killed Pelias, his son Acastus chased after them, intending to kill them in return for their father. The other sisters he was able to catch, but Alcestis escaped to Pherae where her cousin Admetus lived. Since she sat down at his hearth (as a supplicant), Admetus was unable to give her back to Acastus when he demanded her. The latter besieged the city with a large army and began to ravage them with fire. Admetus made a sortie [a raid or charge from a defensive position] during the night but happened on an ambush and was captured alive. Acastus threatened to kill him, if he refused to hand over Alcestis, even though she was a supplicant. But Alcestis, when she found out that Admetus was about to lose his life because of her, came out and gave herself up to Acastus, who thereupon released Admetus and took Alcestis into custody. People therefore said: "Brave/manly Alcestis, who voluntarily died on behalf of Admetus."

This is from a work rationalising the Greek myths, date and author unknown b/c 'Palaephatus' is thought to be a pseudonym, but according to wikipedia it's estimated to be from 4th century BC Athens. People have been looking for logical explanations for myths for a long time. And even though it takes out most of the fun stuff with the gods... I kinda love it?

In this version, Admetus and Alcestis aren't even married (yet?), and yet they still make sacrifices for each other. Admetus still protects Alcestis from her brother. Alcestis still offers her life to save Admetus. Heracles doesn't pick a fight with Thanatos, but he does fight an entire army on behalf of Admetus, and is able to save Alcestis.

I wasn't actually going to retell that part of the myth, since the timeline would be screwy with the Argonautica... but since the point of the series as I envisioned it was 'how the myths are born and how they change through the centuries'... maybe this will fit in?

Mitul lui Acastus

În mitologia grecească, Acastus a fost un rege care a navigat împreună cu argonauții în căutarea vestitei Lâni de Aur. Iason, tovarășul său argonaut, a adus o vrăjitoare numită Medeea în regatul tatălui lui Acastus, Iolcus . https://www.diane.ro/2024/06/mitul-lui-acastus.html

Kolya...

[sga-owns-my-soul]

Without saying another word, Kolya took the baton from the guard and struck it down, a sharp crack of bone snapping out in unison with Rodney's scream of pain.

"And I will break you."

[sheppard-and-weir]

"I have no intention of letting you die. Now climb back up, John."

Decided to start a Pegasus Native register

I'm debating on adding a sheet that describes these characters' attributes so they can be easily added to any fic

Notes:

- Only Genii with names - Canonically female characters are marked because there are less of them - Alive: Meaning we never saw them die or been informed of their death

Feel free to use this as you see fit just please keep my user name on the image

Instead of shooting to kill when faced with Kolya in 3x13 Irresponsible, Sheppard merely wounds him, and is then faced with the moral dilemma of what exactly to do with him. The answer, of course, involves Todd...
