Zeus: "If you don't end him now, you'll have no one left to save."

Athena: "Finish it."

Aeolus: "The end always justifies the means."

Poseidon: "Ruthlessness is mercy."

Hermes: "You can be hurt or you can beat her. ... I'll help you conquer her."

Tiresias: "I see a man who gets to make it home alive, but it's no longer you."

Hestia, probably:

spoilers? i don't even know what is or isn't a spoiler anymore.

i like to imagine this is what had to be happening at ithaca during the events between little wolf/we'll be fine and get in the water

[wolfythewitch]

hiya wolfy! was thinking about something you once said about your gods' designs being based on animals (athena, owl, and hermes, rooster) and after your god games animatic (which!!! soo good!!! as always!!!) i wanted to ask if you had some thoughts/ideas for your design of other gods?

Ooooo disclaimer the designs in the animatic aren't mine! They're primarily Jorge's and the artists who designed them haha.

But I think the rest were

Dionysus - leopard (I think?)

Artemis - deer

Hephaestus - donkey/dog

Hera - ox

Zeus - eagle

Demeter - snake

There's more but I'm blanking atm

With Apollo and Aphrodite, I have Apollo be based off deer as well, though he also changes form often when speaking to mortals (like looking like Paris when he speaks to hector) (no particular reason for this I just think it's fun for the god of prophecy to look like the person most likely to cause you the most. Y'know. Emotion)

And Aphrodite looks like the person you find most beautiful

Pelops and his ivory shoulder

[l-bubee-l]

Cowboy Poseidon.

Two things that looks so wrong when you put em together.

But listen... He's the god of horses. So him being the original horse girl, it was only a matter of time till this happened.

ODYSSEUS: makes even the smallest important decision

EURYLOCHUS: fuck I can already hear the boss music. which god is it this time? is it Zeus' turn? Ares? fuck man, I do not get paid enough for this

[gingermintpepper]

Obsessed with the way Evadne's relationship with Apollo is described. Obsessed with the way Apollo was especially gentle with her because she was sheltered, hidden away and hadn't had any sort of experience with love prior to Apollo (and due to it being described as her 'first learning Aphrodite's joy' through Apollo', it was probably her first time even being attracted to someone). Obsessed with the way when she runs away, she stops in a violet patch to give birth. Y'know, violets, very famously the flower so strongly associated with Aphrodite that they were used in love potions? Those violets. Obsessed with the way that when Apollo realised his lover was going to have to deliver their child alone, he sent BOTH the goddess of childbirth and ALL THREE OF THE FATES to help and support her. Obsessed with the way that Apollo sends snakes to feed his baby honey straight from their fangs because Evadne abandons their son out of straight primal fear when her stepfather finds her and how the description of that honey is 'sweet venom' [ἰός] of the bees and is DEFINITELY a poetic pair/pun with [ἴον] aka violets and that every single thing about this relationship, conception and birth is a complete and utter fairytale down to Evadne's insanely overprotective stepfather having an immediate change of heart when he learned Evadne's child was an actual, legitimate Son of Apollo and the babe, after being cared for by his dad's honey-fanged snake buddies, was found perfectly healthy five days later swaddled in a blanket of violets (y'know the flowers so strongly associated with Aphrodite that they were used for lo-) and they called him Iamus aka Boy of the Violets which is AAAAAARRRR I AM GNAWING AT MY ENCLOSURE

Iamus was made of love. Everything about him was surrounded by deep and profound love and like, let's not even talk about his whole Thing of when he came of age and was like "I need to find out what my purpose is" and he literally had a Disney Protagonist moment where he ran out into the wilds and was like "Father!! Grandfather!! Tell me what I'm supposed to doooo!!" and then APOLLO FUCKING ANSWERED AND LED HIM TO ONE HIS TEMPLES ENTIRELY BY TALKING WITH IAMUS AND LETTING HIM FOLLOW HIS VOICE FOR THE WHOLE JOURNEY LIKE -

What do y'all know about the kind of SSS tier romantic escapades Apollo had fr?

[live-laugh-ukotoa]

hi what the fuck I just realized Odysseus won the Trojan war by hiding in a wooden horse. a HORSE. who created horses, again? can someone remind me? wasn't it POSEIDON?? Poseidon, who is Odysseus' GREATEST ENEMY throughout the odyssey?? ...the creation of his enemy.. helped him win... i needa take a nap

[sapphireroses282]

The real Black Beauty! <3

Majestic like a horse! >:D

[2stepadmiral]

The city of Troy fell technically over the outcome of a bidding war disguised as a beauty pageant. Like I’m imagining Paris at a podium with the golden apple in one hand and a gavel in the other.

Paris: I have strategic wisdom and unbeatable combat skill from the armor-clad lady with the owl, do I hear any competing bids?

Aphrodite: I’ll make Helen of Troy want to bang you.

Paris: I hear Helen of Troy from the seashell lady with the doves, do I hear any other bids?

Athena: isn’t that prostitution?

Hera: I’ll give you the most powerful empire the world has ever seen!

Paris: I hear one global empire from the jealous peacock lady with the dysfunctional marriage, going once, going twice…

Aphrodite: I’ll make Helen of Troy only want to bang you for the rest of your lives.

Paris, slamming down the gavel: SOLD

Athena: Aaand that’s slavery.

What was it like for Poseidon to put the covering over Horse-Odysseus' eyes? Did Poseidon have to chase for a long time or was it easy to capture Odysseus and put it to him?

Initially Poseidon had to stay on Ody’s back for three whole months, until Odysseus was finally too tired to run wildly and buck. That naturally took quite a bit of energy from him, and in that time Poseidon had commissioned Hephaestus to create the bridle. Odysseus was simply too tired to do much running. And after it was placed on, he simply couldn’t see where he could even go, relying on Posieson to be led.

I'll give you some news to all of you who moralize about Posally: if I, at Sally's age, had met the god of the sea and creator of horses I would have fucked with him right there on the beach

[mcsiggy]

He likes horse memes

More Cowboy Poseidon!

I'm a teensy bit obsessed, if y'all couldn't tell.

The first thing I knew I wanted to add to my Poseidon design was rocky elements, since he’s also the god of earthquakes, @gigizetz ’s design being my inspiration. I also opted for the horse route which originated by @anniflamma ’s. Merging these two aspects I made him a centaur body, basing it off the greek messara horse.

I used my friend, Diallos’ design as general inspiration, giving mine a waterfall like her design. I covered one of his eyes to symbolise him being the father of the cyclops. Fun fact! He snacks on the fish that swim in his hair.

I went back and forth debating if I should make his horse tail a dolphin one but decided against it. Same with the idea of giving him horse ears and clothes.

For accessories I gave him lip piercings, glowing kelp wraps around his hair, and my clone made me add the pearls.

As for colours: Taking the blue from the canon Poseidon design as a base, fading into dark stone, scattering green mossy freckles all over including his face (and more as requested by my clone), bright hair as contrast, and with the browns he looks more in tune with the earth. It feels fitting.

My Poseidon is made to be lesser than Zeus, opposing each other.

- His younger brother is bigger and taking up space, while he’s slimmer, shorter, and keeping to himself

- Zeus’s hair being thick and out of his face, while Poseidon’s is clear and draping all over him

- Zeus being fairly humanoid while Poseidon is literally half rock-horse

- Zeus having many outfits while Poseidon doesn’t have anything, at most jewellery

- Their main colours being parallel on the colour wheel

- The obvious is them having the colour brown “stain” their feet. Except Poseidon’s is mud. If you think about it hard enough, it’s almost mocking
