Apollo and Dionysus about Hermes.

polycule where one guy has an “i can fix him” mindset and another guy has an “i can make him worse” mindset about the same third guy. net zero moral change

Hail O Liberator, Dionysos Eleutherios. Free us from evil, from pain and from sorrow. (Quote is taken from the Dionysiaca, written in the 5th century CE)

Was doing some quick skimming through the Dionysus page (trying to figure out what symbol the gods use to claim their children; does he use a bunch of grapes???), but man every time I remember how much Dionysus genuinely cares about Nico I start to feel sick like are you kidding me 😭😭😭😭 he fucking loves that little fucker and it ruins me. This is exactly why I say all the gods (most of them) love the shit out of Nico. He's just so 😭🫰 nico di angelo who believes he's disliked and hated but in actuality is adored by the gods.

I can never seem to get over just staring at just statues of Dionysus, something about him compared to the other greek gods, just feels so special

THAT IS A GOD.

Ok, I've been occupying myself with an unnecessarily complicated thought process concerning Theseus' age when he fought the Minotaur. Let me explain.

I read somewhere that Theseus was 15 when he went to Crete. It based itself from some approximate calendar and made me think.

Theseus being a teenager would kinda make sense, especially since he's stoobid naive and clueless. Plus the sources talk about Athenian boys or young men. However, I personally dislike the idea.

1. Theseus is just as clueless as an adult. Even as a father (ahem, Hippolytus). So immaturity isn't a factor.

2. It made me wonder how old Ariadne was. Whatever the answer, younger or older than Theseus, it'd be very... awkward. Especially since she's either said to have kids with Theseus or marry Dionysus. Standards were different then but it'd still be weird to think about.

At least, since Cadmus and Harmonia were siblings, I'd figure Dionysus and Ariadne are in a similar age. Plus when he met her, he still wasn't a full-fleged god considering he was still conquering cities. Then again, he traveled a lot even before meeting her and was lost in insanity for a while before Rhea healed him. So idk how old he'd be. Likely more than 15-16.

3. Before fighting the Minotaur, Theseus did six tasks, some of them requiring to be physically strong like capturing a murderer or facing an adult bandit demi-god or throwing some guy off a cliff. Theseus has a rich history and imagining a 13-14yo boy with no power do all of that is a bit ridiculous imo. Except Neoptolemus but it's just because he's that much of a psycho 😂

4. How old were men supposed to be in order to rule back then? And how long coming back

Anyways, I largely prefer Theseus and Ariadne being both young adults when they met, not teenagers. Maybe like 19-20. So they're still young but, yk, adult.

But @margaretkart @katerinaaqu, you could surely provide me some insight on this considering you grew up in Greek culture and learned more about ancient Greece than I did.

There probably isn't one definitive answer since sources vary, but I'd love you found some elements I missed.

Advice for caring for the little tykes.

Zeus - Frequently check his onezie for holes (particularly around the mittens/socks), generating static creates a lot of friction and tears. Poseidon - If let outside, prepare towels and a bath for when you return; he will get muddy. Hera - If she's crying, move her so she's facing towards Zeus. Demeter - Buy the ingredients for pastry dough, you'll be making a lot of berry pies (note, don't add chocolate, Artemis is allergic). Artemis - Let her play outside (even if its raining), she'll get zoomies and run into a wall if inside too long. Apollo - tapping his head will change the colour he glows. Ares - wear long sleeves, he bites. Hephaestus - always carry a lego brick separator and never offer him duplo. Hermes - Keep the crayons he's not using on the top shelf (someone keeps eating them). Hestia - Leave her be, she content. She'll come to you if she wants help. Also, go to her when you need help. Dionysus - He likes his appy juice cold and blackcurrant juice warm.

bonus, thanks @chaoticcatbehaviour and @corvus-ambrosius

Athena - Keep her glasses clean and at nap time put her sleeping mat next to Apollo so she can keep reading (trying to make her sleep may cause Athena to attempt a coup). Hades - He isn't sad. When actually sad, he hides in the dark attic.

Imagine Greek gods as babies with baby variants for each of their dominions.

Zeus - god of static Poseidon - god of puddles Hera - goddess of besties Demeter - goddess of berry picking Artemis - goddess of animal plushies Apollo - god of night lights Ares - god of tantrums Hephaestus - god of lego Hermes - god of pen pals Hestia - goddess of pillow forts Dionysus - god of fruit juice

¡ Dibujos para Dionisio ! + Mini historia suya.

▪︎Lenaia : Festival/Celebración en honor al Dios Dionisio,empieza el 12 y termina el 15 de Enero.

▪︎ ¿Quién es Dionisio? :

– Dioniso es el dios del vino, la fertilidad, el teatro y el éxtasis en la mitología griega. Hijo de Zeus y Sémele, una mortal, su nacimiento fue inusual: cuando Sémele murió al ver la verdadera forma de Zeus, este lo rescató y lo cosió en su muslo hasta que estuviera listo para nacer, lo que lo convirtió en un dios dos veces nacido

– Representa el placer del vino, la libertad y el desenfreno, pero también el caos que estos pueden traer. Se le asocia con la fertilidad de la tierra, especialmente las vides, y es el patrón de las festividades que dieron origen al teatro griego. Su séquito estaba formado por sátiros y ménades, seres que encarnaban el trance, la locura divina y el desafío a las normas

– Entre sus símbolos están el tirso, un bastón decorado con hojas de vid, los racimos de uva, la hiedra y los leopardos. Dioniso no solo representa el goce, sino también lo irracional y la conexión con los aspectos más primarios de la naturaleza humana, en contraposición a Apolo, símbolo de la razón y el orden

– Las celebraciones en su honor, las Bacanales, se caracterizaban por la música, el baile y el abandono de las restricciones sociales, exaltando la libertad y el éxtasis. Dioniso es una figura que conecta el placer y el caos, lo cual lo hace un Dios extravagante

AU where Mr. D claiming to be Percy’s dad accidentally counts as Claiming according to Greek god law or whatever and now all the other gods legitimacy believe Percy is his son, but if Mr. D corrects it, he has to explain to Zeus why he pretended he was Percy’s dad so now he’s like “YEP ol’ Perry Johansson is MY child wowie just look at the little fry, you have your mother’s eyes. Please stop standing next to water or you will blow my cover”

Meanwhile Poseidon is just standing off to the side like “how on earth did I dodge THAT bullet”
