Constructing Dictys and Clymene’s love story + backstory as we speak

[wanderingmind867]

I stand by this opinion: Iapetus deserved his own book way more than Apollo did. I mean, I liked the first two Trials of Apollo books. But since Jason Grace died in the third, i'm never gonna read past the third. The Trials of Apollo lose all charm and value once Jason dies. I was so upset that I literally refused to read any farther. So this instills in me a bias, you understand. And that bias is about to be expressed very strongly.

Personally, I think that Iapetus deserved the sequel more because he has the more interesting story. He is the oldest ancestor of mankind. His children included Prometheus and Epimetheus, the brothers who created mankind. Mankind (at least in the grecian world) all goes back to Iapetus. Iapetus, the Titan of the West. Father of Prometheus, Epimetheus, Atlas and Menoetius. Him and his kids reflect humanity. They're the reason we live today. Even if Iapetus was a warrior who helped Kronos kill Ouranous, we owe our lives to him today.

Also, we have to address his amnesia and his subsequent trauma. Percy Jackson doused him in the waters of the River Lethe, then never bothered to visit him or help him remember himself! Iapetus had a wife (Clymene, I think her name was)! He had four children he probably cared very much about! But no! The man lost all his memories of his four sons. And of his wife. That's gotta cause some really nasty emotional trauma, even for a Titan.

And yes, Iapetus did sacrifice himself at the end of the House of Hades. But that's why a sequel series about him would work so well. He's got the emotional trauma of killing his dad, abandoning his wife and kid, and of being neglected by everyone except Nico di Angelo once he lost his memories. He deserves a good story. And I already know the plot. I really should be reading my book (since i'm writing this at school), but I need to write a note about the plot of this hypothetical book urgently.

Kinda interesting that besides the former King Cronus and Queen Rhea, Theia and Hyperion are assumingly the only couple who were able to have a lineage mighty enough for their children to be the personification of the Sun, Moon, and Dawn respectively. Not to mention being able to KEEP that role despite no obvious alliance with Zeus during the Titanomachy. (Helios and Selene get semi-replaced by Apollo and Artemis but still maintain their positions enough that Helios has a role in Hephaestus, Demeter, and Heracles' stories) (also Zeus never seeks out a replacement for Eos as the goddess of Dawn which makes me think that they are amiable with each other)

Compare that to Iapetus' four sons getting fucked in four different directions, Coeus and Phoebe's only real relevance being Leto and their grandchildren by Zeus and being grandparents to Hecate, Oceanus and Tethys producing and losing Metis while their other numerous children play minor to adequate roles, and Crius' sons merely being "husbands" to more well-known deities (Eos, Styx, Asteria). (Astraios being the biggest research disappointment because you'd think the husband of the Goddess of Dawn would be the God of Dusk and have an active role during sunset but no, he's just a God of the stars sadly).

(Of course, there are also Themis' and Mnemosyne's daughters by Zeus, who are very important, but like Leto's case it helps that their children's father is the King of The Gods and Zeus x Titanesses is almost 99% guarantee they get good roles) (then there's Prometheus Bound where Prometheus' mother is Themis only which is cool but I mostly consider Clymene as his mother)

clymene, goddess of the renowns, fame, and infamy (asteroid 356217)

Clymene was the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys and married off the Titan Iapetus. Together the two were said to determine how long and for what a moral would be remembered for after they had lived. Clymene was also the mother of some rather important titans like Atlas and Prometheus - neither of whom can or will be forgotten in myth. In some versions, it is said that she was loved by Helios, the sun god (sometimes it is just another nymph with the shared name of Clymene though). In that version, she is often connected to the rare event of a solar eclipse; for she had the ability to turn the attention of the sun god. IN MY OPINION Clymene in your chart represents a) what you produce/create that is famous/popular, b) how you with be remembered, and/or c) the attention you receive.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of clymene along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of clymene AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede clymene!

Emma as Clymene (or Asia):

Goddess of Fame and Renown 🌟

Clymene (or Klymene) was a Titan goddess in Greek mythology, daughter of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys, thus making her an Oceanid. She was the goddess of renown, fame, and infamy. She was married to the Titan Iapetus, and they had four sons, Atlas, Epimetheus, Prometheus and Menoetius. Clymene was also called Asia and in this guise identified as the Goddess of Anatolia. In ancient Greek vase paintings she appeared as a handmaiden of Hera. Emma was chosen for obvious reasons, as we can see her trying to achieve fame at all costs in My Hollywood Story.

🐬Daily Cetacean Fact:🐬

Clymene Dolphin: It is the only confirmed case of hybrid speciation in marine mammals, descending from the spinner dolphin and the striped dolphin. The Clymene dolphin is endemic to the Atlantic Ocean. Its full range is still poorly understood, particularly at its southern end. The species certainly prefer temperate and tropical waters.
