Diomedes

Ok so this wikipedia article was a LOT more elaborate than I expected, I just spend over two hours going through it and making notes Nobody asked for it but here are my notes on Diomedes, theyre not consistent, i changed style and detail a few times, but alas here we go:

Diomedes:

strong defender of justice, deserves better

lost a lot of people

warrior very young

athenas favorite warrior

his fathers glory (and shame)

breast plate from haephestus

shield from his father blessed by athena

fathers sword

spear

boars, lion

most expiereneced warrior of achaeans

doesnt like achilles

brought 80 ships

Sthenelus, chariot driver, best friend, epigoni

youngest of the kings

(post homeric: offered immortality, divinified)

helped Odysseus kill Agemenons daughter

helped Odysseus kill Palamedes (bitch deserved)

brave, NOT haunted by hubris

wounds both ares and aphrodite (same day) and attacts apollo, but withdrew in time

granted divine sight to see immortals (on that day)

grew up way too soon

big battle when 14

more level headed than Ody (can take an insult)

doesnt hesitate to call out bs

“let him go or stay, the gods will make sure that he will fight” (hc: he tried, very humbled by the gods)

athena joined his fight once, driving his chariot and guiding his spear

“friends” with glaucus (trojan) (“i wont fight more immortals” “bro, our grandparents were bros”, “ok give me your gold armour, ill give you my bronze one”)

saves Nestor (ody runs away when he asks for help :(

wants to kill hector so he doesnt get taunted (Nestor says no, Zeus says no 3x /+1 lighting) he eventually turns back and gets taunted, he kills another guy

he attacks the trojans at night and wins, after hector boasted, in the end diomedes is the one worshipped as immortal

agamnenon wants to leave, Dio says hes a bad leader (yes), and that he’ll stay to fight the city that is doomed to fall, even with zeus fighting for the trojans, nestor says he has no better idea, proposed to appeall to achilles with gifts (ody and agamenon agree), they fail, Dio tells them “told you so” (but it doesnt matter anyway, theyll win)

he sleeps outside his tent in armour (they wake him n others at night for council about spies, Dio volunteers, he gets to pick a second, he goes for Ody, ody didnt rly want to go, Dio choose him anyway despite deserting him)

Dio and ody face the spy of the trojans Dolon, (hiding between corpses) he almost runs away but Athena “is fighting to be known” doesnt want someone else to strike first, so she makes Diomedes throw the spear and orders him to stop, Dolon tells them good gossip, including white horses, Dio kills him

they do some more bs, like killing people in their sleep (dio) and stealing horses (ody) dio considers unaliving more until athena suggests he may stop so other gods dont get jealous

both kings are good at being stealthy AND open combat

Rhesus horses are badass (first sign for the fall of troy), Dio gets them (bedding gift?), people without the horses and king leave W for the achaeans

Lord of War Cry

dio throws a spear at hector, apollos helmet saves him, but he mingles with the crowd, first time that Dio speaks back and calls him a dog (even the best men loose their temper at times)

Paris shoots his foot, (fucking moron blasts about it, Dio gives him a verbal lashing) he withdraws under cover of Odysseus, ody gets an ouchy

agamennon wants to flee (again), Dio tells them they should just let themselves get wounded again

Dio wins all funeral games of patroclus (though wounded) – Athena makes sure of it – draws first blood in the fight with Ajax, they stop him worried he’d kill him

Athena appears to him undiguised, Athenas favorite

kills some amazons, Achilles kills his cousin (who was a bitch), dio mourns him though and wants to have achilles punished

Dio and Ody bring Achilles son to Troy after Achilles death (bc they could not win the war without him there)

Ody and Dio sent to negoiate for peace after Paris’ death (by poised bow that the two of them stole?)

dio and ody gotta steal a statue of athena, ody disguises himself as beggar at night, dio follows later and brings the statue out

Ody tries to stab him in the back?? (to get the glory himself???) Dio catches it and ties him, and shoves him infront of himself, but refrains from punishing him because they need him (“for the greater good”)

dio is one of the warriors inside the trojan horse

dio leaves immediatly after the fall of troy (after the achaeans angered athena through the rape of cassandra by ajax the lesser) and arrives home safely (favored by the gods) Post Trojan war possibilities:

when he gets there his wife has commited adultery and keeps him out of town (palamedes brother having told he brought a different woman) aphrodite being pissed about the scratch helps her get many lovers, he has to leave again

gets kidnapped by some guy to get sacrificied to ares, gets saved by a girl

comes to the court of some other king who offers him his daughter as wife and lands, if he fights for them, so he does, and has two sons with her

he refuses to fight more trojans later on, he just wants to live in peace

birds haunt him and his men (his men cried so much over his death they got turned into birds)

[sonoftydeusthemusical]

I really wanna do some fanart for SoT!! How do you picture your Diomedes? Be as specific as you’d like!

Oh my! :O We did not expect this so soon, but thank you so much for this ask !!!

Here's our design concept for Diomedes:

Our design is based on the myths and sources & symbolism for the musical, but it might end up changing in the future with voice actors or other changes to the storyline!

General looks:

golden/tawny eyes (appearing grey sometimes?)

probably quite tan and dark haired

his beard is rly short (just enough to count as a beard at the beginning of Troy) but a full/mature beard over time especially after Troy

Tydeus is said to have been short, but we like the idea of Diomedes eventually outgrowing him, physically (and his armour) as well as symbolically

Clothes:

subtle olive branches and leaves woven onto the hems of his tunic, maybe owls too (hinting at his connection with Athena)

his base colors scheme are probably red, pale & golden

potentially a golden circlet to symbolize his rule (if he's not wearing the helmet)

a lion shaped pin that holds up his cloak

a mesh shirt underneath his armour

Armour/Weapons:

a bronze spear

a sword from his father, adorned with a lion and a boar

a round shield ornamented with the image of a boar

potentially a helmet with boar tusks and a horsetail ornament (these are all mostly based on the descriptions in the Iliad and historical/archeological finds, could help with references)

leg splints (optional)

Curiass made by Haephestus

breastplate from Tydeus, blessed by Athena, also with a boar→ he exchanges this one with Glaucus during Troy, so afterwards, he wears a different armor

Boars and lions are VERY prevalent in his symbolism in the Iliad

Overall for his design the earlier sets of armor are very clearly tied to Tydeus' legacy, and as time goes along we can see Diomedes' outward appearance visibly become less and less like Tydeus

Scars:

Before Troy:

a scar on his weapon wielding hand (symbolizing the oath of the Epigoni: the other members of the Epigoni also have such scar)

talon scars on his shoulder (symbolizing Athenas influence)

a (longer/larger) scar on his back, from the events of the Epigoni (symbolizing the backstabbing in regards to his wife and then entire kingdom, also the whole epigoni mission backstabbing him in every way, with his family members dying (Aegialeus, Adrastrus - leading to him marrying Aegialia, which leads to the betrayal after Troy -, Oeneus, Tydeus and even Thesander dying later before Troy, as well as symbolizing his initial vulnerability/youth in the Epigoni, he did not make it out of there unscathed)

During Troy:

scar on his shoulder (an arrow, right before he fought the gods, human inflicted)

scar on his foot (an arrow through his foot from Paris)

Scars from the Gods:

burn scar from Aphrodite's ichor that splayed on his wrist/arm with which he held the spear, a scar that look almost pretty - something beautiful to look at, that causes a lot of agony - not huge, but just enough to be noticeable

the scars from Ares ichor are more noticeable and harsher, a more violent version of Aphrodite's burns, just a light dusting of scars, a speckled scarring effect where the ichor hit his breastplate and sprayed to his more exposed skin: a little on one side of his face, heavier on his arms and a bit on his legs too, a fanning effect of explosion scars radiating out from his heart

the scars from the gods blood's both have hints of gold remaining

After Troy:

throat scar form the time he almost got sacrificed to Ares

Dares the Phygian

This is the most description we get in any ancient sources about Diomedes' "appearance", though they don't really apply to his looks itself (and they're also a later addition, but we take what we can get!)

courageous

steady

graceful self

somber expression

most active in war

filled with shouting

hot angered

impatient

not acting by feelings

daring

Of course you're VERY welcome to take creative liberties as you want :D These are merely our thoughts we had so far, though we by no means want to restrict your creative freedom!

Thank you so so so much for this ask!!!

Genuinely we had a LOT of fun thinking about our interpretation of Diomedes

Initially we expected to keep it very vague but as we kept talking we ended up with a bunch of ideas that barely let us sleep ^^"

[pand1on]

actually who care about that the real crime is making odysseus look that young. of all the characters to be a grizzled sexy 50 year old man it should be him

i'm sure supergiant has their reasons but nothing kills my hype more than getting a notification about a game on my wishlist only for it to be that it's in early access. why would i pay 40 bucks + tax for a game that isn't finished yet grrrr

[stuffnthangsss]

Gravity Falls x Percy Jackson: GF Characters as Demigods Pt. 3

Click here for Pt. 1 (Mabel!), Pt. 2 (Stan + Ford), Pt. 4 (Side Characters), Pt. 5 (Fiddleford) & Lil Gideon

Dipper time!

Dipper was kind of hard for me to come up with… bc of the whole twin thing? But then I realized I just spent the last two points talking about the Stans being diff demigods so.

But now I realize Dipper could also be an Apollo kid? Either that, or Hermes imo. (I just love Grunkle Stan and Dipper dynamic ☹️ even if that could get angsty with Stan seeing the differences between the two of them despite both being Hermes kids… also writing this I just realized idk how Stan would be a Grunkle to them but yk what forget about logic ok?)

Apollo being the god of prophecy and the truth. Dipper’s search for the author being the truth part. Apollo was also apparently seen as the god of young men? So that works out.

Dipper also likes music despite not being as loud about it as Mabel?? Like liking Babba!

Idk I like the idea of the mystery twins being the children of a twin himself who has a twin sister.

Apollo as the god of youth I feel really fits in with Dipper and Mabel <3. Also, a big theme of Gravity Falls being childhood.

Just looked it up and apparently Apollo was also considered a god of knowledge which def works for dipper!! ALSO, reason and logic. And dipper we know is so incredibly logical. Apollo also said to be a patron of science.

According to someone on quora (lmao), Apollo was also depicted to drive off evil which can be seen in Dipper (and Mabel)’s battle against Bill (I haven’t finished s2, no spoilers please ❤️).

This is pretty lengthy LOL. That’s it, for now.

Might make more parts with other characters? I can see Soos as a kid of Haephestus (kinda changes canon tho but hey another Hispanic Hephaestus kid alongside Leo).

Pls share ur thoughts <33.

[upn-the-sky]

Ares: *minding his own business Kratos: *dramatically crying for help somewhere on earth Ares: Are you serious? Right in front of my salad? Ares: *throwing away all his business and running to an aid ___

Yes, here is Ares/Aphrodite and eating some sea salted salad, because as Haephestus said in GOW3, Ares is a conquered god of war. And Ares kinda feels absolutely not ashamed of it, you know. But at the same time he has duties in his domain and plan of Olympus's fall.. And he wants to live his life in between. Anyway, the point is that time is running a bit differently for gods and for Olympus, okay? That's why Ares managed everything during the Kratos's prayer and jumped from the sky right in the moment to save his life. A god of good endings!

[lakemojave]

As a big dude with a lotta hair, it makes me so happy to see Haephestus' design. Not only is he fat, he's also positioned as attractive and not a funny butt of a joke. It's awesome. I love how diverse Supergiant's designs are.

It's kinda been a process of refinement for the studio to get to this point. Pyre was the first of their games to prominently feature a wide variety of character designs but neither it or Hades did well by fat or disabled folks. Seems like they took extra care with that this time around and boy howdy it paid off. Zee is an incredible artist
