I keep seeing this narrative that Zeus saved Thalia’s life and not Jason’s, and I’ve decided to come back from the grave to offer my two cents (that no one asked for).

Zeus absolutely did not save Thalia. She was never meant to come back out of that tree. Ever.

It was pure coincidence that Luke poisoned the tree and Ananbeth decided the Golden Fleece would save it. It wasn’t an action that was ordained by the gods, it hadn’t previously been foretold in a prophecy. It was simply a demigod solution to a demigod problem. Equally, no one at camp thought that the Fleece purging the poison from the tree would bring Thalia back, at all.

I definitely agree that Zeus turning Thalia into a tree was a deliberate act to prevent her going to the underworld. Though I would argue that this was as much (if not more so) to spite Hades as it was to stop Thalia being sent to eternal damnation in the underworld.

But to say that he saved Thalia’s life and then let Jason die is giving Zeus entirely too much credit. Jason is a proven hero, who was good friends with Nico, and died at a point in time where the sting of Zeus breaking The Pact had mostly worn off. There isn’t any concern that he’ll be sent to the Fields of Punishment. Thalia, at the time of her death, had only done this one big act as a hero, Nico and Bianca were still in hiding, and Hades was clearly pissed about her existence.

If Hades gets Thalia’s soul then he’s won. If Zeus smites the monsters that are attacking her, then Thalia lives but that runs the risk of her destroying Olympus when she’s 16.

Zeus wanted to contain her.

Trapping her spirit in a tree stops Thalia from ending up in the Field’s of Punishment, yes, but it does not save her life by any stretch of the imagination. And I’m a little tired of people pretending that what Zeus did was an act of kindness. It was literally less than the bare minimum. He was saving his own skin just as much as Thalia’s.

[magnificentposting-fabrizioart]

How would you have died in Greek mythology?

Me, it's 50/50 between

A) Trying to court Athena

B) Trying to pet the monster (doesn't really matter which one)

To be clear- this is your PERSONAL myth demise.

It is not "how would you die in the *world* of Greek myth?". Statistically, that's plague, giant disaster, war or monster rampage.

This is the myth with your name on it, the one that becomes an example. You get to be the main character in this ill-fated morality play, and it's gonna be something that's like yeah, that's me.

[kindred-spirit-93]

Sup it's me Astron

I want the story to take place in modern Greece but I'm a bit hesitant to confine the story in any real location so I think it might be best for the story to take place on one of Greek mythologys many fictional islands but give it the modern Greek treatment.

Ogygia is a good contestant (Calypso's island) or maybe the isle of the Hesperides (some sources call it Erytheia, Erytheia was also the place where, according to one account, the sun god Helios kept his sacred cattle it was also knows as the Isle of Juno).

If we go with the Erytheia route, we can say that it became a greek colony years ago and now is a thriving yellow apple (or tomatoes and citrus) farming community. The fruit being the main export

Anywho, I hope that you are feeling a bit better

aw tysm! today was very pleasant :D ate a beloved dish (malfoof), got some work done, stayed awake & payed attention during classes lol. a lil nudge in a better direction :)

oooohhhhhhhhh!!!! very interesting, i assume we start on olympus? (unless zeus' wedding took place somewhere specific then they went back to olympus and made up and then astral train is set in motion *snort*) and heras self reflection takes place on le island?

very much like erytheia since its a little less known? but mainly because juno is indeed hera and i love lil references and stuff hehe!

having it be an agriculture based island i suppose it falls under demeters domain, perhaps we get some sister bonding time?

no tomatoes thank you i despise them. and yellow apples (i only like sour green ones lol) wbu?

[bluepetalite]

Either he's happy to get a break from his paperwork, or he's stressing over the buricratuc mess waiting for him when he gets back. I could see Olympus shutting down without him.

Either way, he's gonna appreciate the underworld king's open toga policy.

Currently brainrotting over the idea of Mobei-jun as Hades and Shang Qinghua as Persephone. That is all.

Danny: Hell didn’t want me when I died, and heaven cast me out. So now I’m stuck in between on this little place called Earth. Sometimes I like to think it’s my own personal hell, but who am I to judge?

Tim, who was on day 5 of being awake: have you tried to fight god?

Danny: oh, I did, and I won. But the bastard is manipulative and decided that I wasn’t allowed in heaven because of pure spite.

Tim: interesting. Do you still want to fight gods?

Danny: depends. Me and Hades are under a truce, and Zeus kicked me out of Olympus. Sometimes I thought about fighting with Wonder Woman to get a rise from Zeus, but Hippolyta told me I wouldn’t be invited for dinner if I messed with her daughter, sooo….

Tim, pulling out his phone: cool, cool, so his name is darkseid, and he’s an asshole

Danny: say no more
