Cause for as much as hera hates her children with Zeus, she hates her husband's children with other women more, and Zeus treats them like shit to appease her
how come Apollo was punished for Octavian but Ares wasn't punished for helping Luke with the lighting bolt?
#Yiu need to fucking treat women better you fucking douchbags#mysterious#ways#its actually a shame#that the goddess of marriage and commitment and family (to an extent) is trapped in a loveless faithless marriage#for what is essentially her husbands political clout. and THEN. ti make matters WORSE. her children with him are despised. hephaestus for#his appearance and ares for being a bloodthirsty violent warmonger (literally. his domain is war but specifically the Horrors faced by#foot soldiers. not the gleaming academic tower of mikitary tactic like say. athena. his half sister. not by hera. see the connection?)#meanwhile. zeus's OTHER children are well known and renowned.both by humans and the other gods! athena is intelligence and learning and#military strategy and complex learned arts (like weaving!). apollo is MUSIC HEALING PROFECY AND the ***SUN***!#artemis is the HUNT and the MOON (and a Lil Bit ).#hermes is Trade Travel Herdsmen/Cattle Boundaries Thieves Athletes Speed Cunning and Wit#Dionysis is madness and WINE.#and persephone-! ahem. *sorry* Dread Perseohone is the *queen of the fucking underworld*. a legitimized daughter of the king of heaven who#was married to the king of hades (Hades). at the end of all things persephone will hold power and domain over much more than hera does as#wife of the king. and for it not ro be one of her *own* daughters must fucking sting.#and this isnt even getting into the minor gods nymphs and mortals that zeus has sired.#hephaestus is beloved by craftsmen yes; but that is a very small portion of people. and. very. very few people Love ares.#so. should apollo have been punished the way he was? no. not at all. i feel like punishing the god of PROPHECY for acting in maybe isnt th#it? yes. absolutely. she may hate her Own children but she wouldnt see them disgraced like that (as she hates them for Being disgraces in#her own eyes). hence why ares was Npt punishedm. But apollo? free real estate.#and its a shame that things have lead her to that point.
