immortal apollo kids headcanons!

this is specifically for the rrverse versions of Apollo's immortal kids! but feel free to think about it in the mythology context too! :3

Hymenaeus

still has a room in Apollo's palace

still sleeps in it

but he also has a room in Eros's because he's an Erote

this makes for some awkward situations when Apollo and/or Eros have to go to the other's place to grab him for something or other

they basically share custody of him

divorced dads behavior

when he was little he tried to get people to marry his dad because he reeeally wanted to plan his dad's wedding

technically, he succeeded, because he was the one who made Apollo/Cyrene's marriage official XD

his hair is fluffy like a sheep's fluff. also somewhere between strawberry-blonde and a very light amber. and reaches to just under his chin. don't forget the floppiness tho >:3

has his dad's bright blue eyes

LOVES his dad's swans. and corvids. he loves birds.

probably because he also has wings

wings are brilliantly white with a soft pink and gold flush

never looks older than 16

many of the other Erotes find Apollo hot. Hymen is distinctly horrified to know this.

Himeros: Your dad's a DILF

Hymen: a what?

Anteros: don't you dare-

Himeros: A Dad I'd Like to FUCK-

Hymen: *much screaming*

Ialemus

also still has a room in Apollo's palace

as a matter of fact, he still lives in said room

his room is also in apollo's basement (he wanted it there)

he is the emo kid. but he's also not necessarily antisocial

he just likes his solitude. and honestly, mood

imagine dragons is a favorite band. and hozier. he likes "slower" songs as well as sad ones

has Apollo's long hair, but in a very dark brown

has vivid green eyes. like radioactive ones.

likes ponytails

cows are his favorite animal

they are calm creatures he can ramble too so he likes them

knows a lot about things. comes with listening rather than talking ;)

WILL infodump

Apollonides

these girls are the PARTY KIDS

they are the ones throwing parties in their dad's house at 2 am

they also still live in Apollo's palace

frequent clubs and discos; can be seen at concert venues and are in many of the big city concerts (ie, Las Vegas, Madrid, Vienna, ect.)

Borysthenis is the 'oldest' (Hypatē - the lowerest & first string on the lyre); has curly brown hair and dark green eyes

Apollonis is the 'middle' (Mesē - the middle string); has Apollo's blonde hair, but straight, and dark eyes (crow-like, even... >;3)

and Cephisso is the 'youngest' (Nētē - the highest string); has poofy black hair and silvery-blue eyes

Hypatē has a comfy sort of style, such as sweaters and sandals

Mesē likes to wear aesthetically dark clothes with silver accents

Nētē wears blouses and loose jackets

one time they highjacked the sun chariot and got away with it by pulling the puppy eyes

they have demigod children in CHB

Asclepius

the baby

died at 15- still treated like he's 10

snuck onto the Argo mission at 13

Idmon and Orpheus played pass the babysitter with Jason

He kicked Heracles in the shins once for "trying to steal my dad's stuff!!"

Atalanta and Asclepius were buddies

The Boreads played games with him to keep him occupied

went on the Calydonian Boar Hunt to make sure Atalanta didn't 1) hurt herself; or 2) kill someone

he grew up in the beginning stages of CHB

in 'camp' with him were: Jason (the oldest), Atalanta (raised by bears), and Hippolytus (it was his boarding school).

Theseus dropped by sometimes and Asclepius was able to smuggle his way into his belongs so he could visit Athens. just because :)

Jason and Atalanta freaked out and they and Hippolytus went on a 'quest' to find him

Phoebe the hunter is his favorite sister

he befriends snakes quickly

he died at 15

his death pushed Phoebe into distancing herself from her other siblings

when he was resurrected, he wasn't allowed to see Apollo

his only visitors in his prison medical school is his wife and children. he hasn't seen or heard from his father or any sibling in centuries.

has his mother's shiny black hair but his father's curls as well as his bright blue eyes

Aristaeus

the REAL baby

has anxiety

severe imposter syndrome

pov: all your siblings are great and wonderful and accomplished people. and you made cheese and honey :)

mom and dad were very proud of u ofc but you feel like you didn't even do much

especially when your cool older brother went on the Argo mission even though he knew he would die (RIP Idmon)

gets easily defensive over agriculture (specifically the innovations and how they have taken over the Good Ol' Days's way aka his way)

(he got that from his dad <3)

he also got his dad's blonde hair, but in a honey tone. his skin tone is also darker and closer in shade to Cyrene's

makes really good charcuterie boards

hangs out in the Midwest

visits his mom in Cyrene, Libya (he is a good son ty)

(ironically) mice are his favorite from his dad's sacred animals

he hates locusts though

don't u love it that apollo's number is 7 and he has 7 immortal kids...

It's up to you to decide whether or not someone is an Apollo kid or his lover, because sometimes that got mixed up

[artbyanca]

Apollo and the little muses; aka the muses of the lyre; aka Cephisso, Apollonis and Borysthenis; aka Nete, Mese and Hypate cause Apollo nicknamed them after the strings of the lyre which I find adorable☺️

As to why Apollo’s playing a kemanes instead of a lyre, all I can say that it made sense at some point after way too much overthinking but I cannot recreate that logic anymore.

[aroaceleovaldez]

What godly parent would be good for a set of triplets oc?

There's a lot of options you could go for! Depends on what type of theming you prefer, I suppose. Lucky for you, Greco-Roman mythology loooooves things in threes. The original version of this post got long so I'll make a (slightly) shorter version:

Honestly, any deities that are twins/etc, or have twin/triplet/quadruplet/etc or otherwise large thematic groupings of children, or are part of a thematic triad (which Roman mythos has a few of)/etc, all easy options.

Hecate is an obvious one cause of the triple form. Selene, Persephone, and Artemis are also all associated with her as a triad. Selene also sometimes is seen as mother of the seasons, which is a grouping of four. Artemis is obviously a twin herself and Apollo is the father of the muses of the lyre, who are three sisters if not triplets (Cephisso, Apollonis, Borysthenis. Or Hypate, Mese, and Nete). Not to mention just the Muses in general. Janus is more twos/doubles but you could work with that. I've been enjoying playing around recently with children of Feronia (Roman goddess) concepts, because one of her mythological children had a triple soul and had to be killed thrice to truly die.

Zeus is another who often has children in thematic groups, also commonly in threes - the Fates, the Graces/Charities, etc. Helen of Troy, Clytemnestra, Castor, and Pollux are quadruplets (who sometimes have different fathers and hatched from like one or two eggs, depending, fun fact!) and sometimes Helen is specifically a child of Nemesis. Also you could totally use that myth as thematic basis for your triplet characters just straight up having different godly parents.

Nyx has a ton of kids who are sometimes thematically grouped. Fates were already mentioned, the Furies, the Oneiroi (which are basically literally endless cause they're dreams), etc. Hypnos and Thanatos are twins. The Somnia are 1000 children of Hypnos/Somnus (also dreams) and include the notable triad of Morpheus, Phobetor/Icelos, and Phantasos. The Horae are also often a triad - Thallo, Auxo, and Carpo. Eunomia, Dike, and Eirene. Pherusa, Euporie, and Orthosie. Iris and Arke are more twins. The Erotes have a lot of variation in them - Anteros is sometimes Eros' brother/twin, sometimes Eros, Himeros, and Pothos were all brothers. The Algea could be interesting if you want a darker triad. Astrape and Bronte aren't necessarily twins but are a duo. Deimos and Phobos are twins. Sometimes Ares and Enyo are siblings- and Enyo is also sometimes one of the Graeae, who are another trio of siblings! You get the picture.

As I said, any mythological figure that's known for having children that form a thematic group, or just a really large bunch of children could totally work. Or anyone who's a twin/triplet/quadruplet themself, or their parents, etc etc. And again, see: Leda's kids. Technically there is nothing saying you have to make them all have the same godly parent while keeping them triplets. You can get as funky as you want with it.

NARCISO

Autore: Paul Dubois (1829 - 1905) Scultore francese. La sua opera è caratterizzata dall'approssimazione alla scultura di tipo classico, di perfetta fattura, avendo tra le sue massime influenze quella dei maestri del Rinascimento italiano.

Mitologia :

Narciso era il figlio del dio del fiume Cephisso e della ninfa Liriope.

Questa è la storia di Eco e Narciso. Un giorno, Narciso stava camminando nei boschi quando Echo, un Oread (ninfa di montagna) lo vide, si innamorò profondamente e lo seguì.

Narciso sentì che lo seguivano e gridò «Chi c'è? » Eco ha ripetuto «Chi c'è? » Alla fine ha rivelato la sua identità e ha cercato di abbracciarlo. Lui se n'è andato e gli ha detto di lasciarlo solo. Era distrutta e ha trascorso il resto della sua vita in valle solitarie. Una volta, durante l'estate, aveva sete dopo la caccia, e la dea lo attirò in una piscina dove si appoggiava sull'acqua e si vedeva nel fiore della gioventù. Narciso non si rese conto che era semplicemente il suo riflesso e si innamorò profondamente di lui, come se fosse qualcun altro. Incapace di lasciare il fascino della sua immagine, alla fine si rese conto che il suo amore non poteva essere ricambiato e svanito dal fuoco della passione che bruciava dentro di sé, diventando finalmente un fiore bianco e dorato.

greek mythology | modern | muses at delphi 

→  In Delphi, three muses were worshiped. They originally went by Nete, Hypate, and Mese, which are assigned as the names of the three cords of the ancient musical instrument, the lyre.They were later called Cephisso, Apollonis, and Borysthenis.

[cooltmoney95]

Funfact:Cephisso’s magical ability “Sky High” is basically a combination of these two moves.

[ancient-myth-daily]

Have you posted about the muses yet

no i havent but i will now!!! thanks 4 asking!! :3 

The Muses

The muses were the anthropomorphic personification of various types of literature, science, and the arts!  They were invoked by poets, musicians, etc. for inspiration.  Like many groups of nymphs and things like that, their names and even number tend to vary depending on source and over time, but most commonly the muses are known as nine.  

 Historically/archaeologically speaking the mythic figures of the nine muses are believed to have originated from Boeotia, where Thebes is.  

mythologically speaking, according to Diodorus, the muses came from Ethiopia and interestingly were recruited not by a Greek god but by the Egyptian god Osiris, or the Hellenized Osiris known as Serapis.  He also recruited the satyrs and took them all across Asia and Europe on a great tour where he taught people cultivation.  

according to Varro (who was Roman not Greek) and Plutarch, there were only three muses; one born from the movement of water, one born from striking the air, and one from the human voice.  They were called Melete (practice), Mneme (memory), and Aoide (song).  

in Delphi they worshipped 3 muses as well.  They were called Nete, Mese, and Hypate, who were named after the three chords of the lyre.  Alternatively they were known as Cephisso, Apollonis, and Borysthenis, and they were daughters of Apollo.  

yet another origin story has the muses as water nymphs, being born from springs that Pegasus made when he touched the ground with his hooves.  a group of maidens born from a spring is a mytheme across a few different cultures.  

Hesiod’s account is now seen as the standard one; according to him the muses were daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, the personification of memory.  Zeus took the form of a shepherd and they slept together for nine nights in a row, hence nine muses.  makes sense right?  since their mother was memory, the muses had the power to make people forget pain and bad memories as well as being inspirational goddesses, sort of like how people use art to escape their lives, i guess.  

early on the nine muses weren’t given specific functions or names, but eventually they were and there came to be less variation and kind of a standard for their names/roles:  

Calliope - the muse of epic poetry.  She was the father of Orpheus by Apollo, and her emblems were the writing tablet, the stylus, and the lyre.  

Clio - the muse of history.  Her emblems were scrolls, books, the laurel wreath, and later the cornett, a medieval wind instrument.  

Erato - the muse of love poetry.  Her emblem was the cithara which was an ancient greek instrument which i think of as an ancient greek guitar though its technically in the lute family.  later on it was common for her to be depicted in a crown of roses.  

Euterpe - the muse of music, song, and lyric poetry.  Her emblems were the panpipes and aulos, a type of flute, and also the laurel wreath.  

Melpomene - the muse of tragedy.  Her emblems were the tragic mask, the sword, the club, and kothornos which were knee-high boots.  

Polyhymnia - the muse of sacred poetry/hymns and sometimes pantomime.  Polyhymnia was also sometimes considered a patron of agriculture.  Her emblems are the veil and grapes.  

Terpsichore - the muse of dance.  Her emblems were the lyre and the plectrum (which is a musical pick).  

Thalia - the muse of comedy and pastoral poetry.  Her emblems were the comic mask, the shepherd’s crook, and an ivy wreath.  

Urania - the muse of astronomy.  Her emblems were the globe and compass.  

Besides Orpheus, the different muses had many children though often it is disputed which children were born to which muse.  For example, the Sirens were said to be the children of either Melpomene or Terpsichore.  

Apollo, as a god of music and poetry, was often depicted as their leader and had children with a few of them.  

In one myth, King Pierus of Emathia in Macedonia had nine daughters whom he named after the muses.  Pierus believed that his daughters’ skills were greater than the muses.  They challenged the muses and were turned into chattering jays because of their hubris.  

The muses feature in other myths, obviously with Orpheus, and also with Thamyris, but I feel like those stories deserve their own post.

Facts about Apollo

He was born on the island of Delos.

His forename, Phoebus, means “bright” or “pure” and connects him to his grandmother, the Titan Phoebe.

Apollo's well known lyre was made my Hermes

Apollo taught men the art of medicine, so he is often referred to as “The Healer.”

According to Homer’s Illiad, Apollo played a major part in the Trojan War. He infected the Greek encampment with a plague and aided Paris in killing Achilles.

Apollo accidentally killed his dearest companion, Hyacinthus, in a discus throwing contest. (AFHSAHFAHSDFDLF LOL IM SORRY APOLLO ITS FUNNY PLS DON'T SMITE ME AGAIN)

[apollo-justice-for-all]

So according to Greek mythology, there were three muses named Apollonis, Borysthenis and Cephisso. All three of them were characterized as the daughters of the sun god Apollo (also the god of music), and were also known as Nese, Mese and Hypate, names synonymous with the lowest, middle and highest chords of a lyre.

Given how Apollo’s parents were both involved with music (Jove especially due to having been a musician), any children Polly would have if he were to get married would be more likely to pursue the life of a musician. And if Capcom does decide to continue the symbolism with Greek mythology, it seems like Apollo would end up with at least a daughter...or three.

...You get where I’m going with this, don’t ya? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

(As a bonus: the daughters are born in the order from lowest to highest chord of the lyre. So it would be Cephisso (the eldest), then Borysthenis (the middle daughter) and finally Apollonis (the youngest). And Apollonis would be the one to follow in her father’s footsteps and become a defense attorney, especially since her name means “of Apollo”.)

[shamrock96]

Delphi Muses, daughters of Apollo

[poetiqueview-blog]

The Muses. How many? Three, four, nine? 
According to Marcus Terentius Varro there are only three Muses: one born from the movement of water, another who makes sound by striking the air, and a third who is embodied only in the human voice. They were called: Melete or “Practice”
Mneme or “Memory” 
Aoide or “Song” According to Hesiod, there were a total of nine. Calliope (epic poetry)
Clio (history)
Euterpe (flutes and lyric poetry)
Thalia (comedy and pastoral poetry)
Melpomene (tragedy)
Terpsichore (dance)
Erato (love poetry)
Polyhymnia (sacred poetry)
Urania (astronomy) According to Pausanias there were originally three Muses, worshipped on Mount Helicon in Boeotia: Aoide (“song” or “tune”)
Melete (“practice” or “occasion”)
Mneme (“memory”) In Delphi three Muses were worshiped as well, but with other names: 
Nete
Mese 
Hypate which are assigned as the names of the three chords of the ancient musical instrument, the lyre Later, they were called Cephisso, Apollonis, and Borysthenis, names which characterize them as daughters of Apollo. In a later tradition, a set of four Muses were recognized, Said to be daughters of Zeus and Plusia or of Ouranos. Thelxinoë

Meet Cephisso Muse

I just thought I’d take a break from my harpies for a bit in order share one of my other Tales Of Mewni OCs. Here’s my recent one Cephisso Muse.I don’t have a full bio for her ready yet (mostly because I’m waiting for @princesscallyie​ to drop more info on the Air Nymphs.)  But I do have some brief info on her that I wanted to share with ya’ll.

Name: Cephisso Lyrica Muse

Age: 11

Species: Air Nymph

Summary

Cephisso is the youngest daughter of Apollo & Euterpe Muse. She’s a spunky & playful girl who loves to be in the spotlight. She can be a bit of a spoiled brat & is prone to whining at times. But she’s got a big heart and always knows when to do the right thing in the end. One of her main habits is that she likes to give random nicknames to those close to her. (Ex: Her nickname for Zephyr is “Big Brother Zee” & her nickname for her best friend Lyrica is “Lyre”). Her weapon of choice is the Lullaby Harp & her magical ability is “Sky High”. (Both of which I’ll expand on once I start working on her bio.). 

The Air Nymphs belong to @princesscallyie​

Tales Of Mewni belongs to @kururu418​

[cooltmoney95]

So apparently @princesscallyie posted some content on the Air Nymphs. Well, I might start working on some stuff for Cephisso once my entries are done.So ya’ll be on the look out for that.
