#mythology Greek mythology

[startheskelaton]

Just a thought: one spark au but all there are gods, goddesses, deities, heroes and various monsters like in ancient Greek mythology

You… have no IDEA… how obsessed with Mythology I am. AAAAUUYGGHHHHHG!!!! ITS SO HARD TO PUT TOGETHER WHAT CHARACTER WOULD BE WHAT GOD BECAUSE ALL OF THEM HAVE SO MUCH SYMBOLOGY AND LORE!! AAAAHUUHYHGGHHHHH!!!

Like for example!!! Megatron and Elita would be perfect as Ares and Athena. Both are two sides of the same war. The brutal violence and senseless killings of war… vs the cold blooded strategy and noble honor of it. You may say “Wouldn’t Optimus prime be Athena since he’s Megatron’s other half…”…. No… he’d be Hestia, god of home, hearth and family, being he’s the glue that keeps the Autobots good.

However dynamics wise, Megatron and Sparkplug would be perfect as Demeter and Persephone. Forget everything you’ve learned from feminist retelling of Persephone, Demeter was not in the wrong for crashing out after her daughter was stolen behind her back okay? Have you seen most of the gods? She had a reason to be overprotective!! However at the same time, it’s been theorized that Persephone is a MUCH older goddess then we believe, existing as a concept before even Hades!! This would be perfect to depict Sparkplug’s strong ass connections to the old primes.

However I do have a really good idea for who some characters could be!!

Nightflyer is a perfect Dionysus. Not only is Dionysus a very old god (to the point he’s just always there), a perfect connection to how Nightflyer was supposed to be a predicon. His whole deal is that he dies and is reborn, the grapes he is associated with rot and becomes the wine that’s his trademark (also perfectly showing how Nightflyer dies and is reborn as a predicon). Both also live to well… live, exist as they are and take part in the joys of raw nature and life.

Soundblaster is a perfect Hephaestus. Both born out of spite and were supposed to be beautiful and perfect. And they were both scored for being ugly, and constantly being overshadowed by the beauty of another , Hephaestus with Ares and Soundblaster with Nightflyer. He is also desperately trying to gain the affection of his arranged wife who’s much more interested in his “brother”. However Sparkplug actually really dose like both Nightflyer and Soundblaster

I really have to work on my webtoon so I’ll cut it off here. I’m just in love with mythology of all kinds (although Greek mythology was the first one I learned about) so I jumped on this question. I’ll probably do more to be honest because I am a yapper . Might do some connections with other mythology’s

Odysseus: *gently hands Athena baby Telemachus*

Athena: …you were PREGNANT AND YOU DIDNT TELL ME?!

Odysseus: what?- no-
