Okeanos and Tethys really dodged an actual bomb because if the Greek myth community didn't focus on the Olympians and their cheating habits so much, they would have been deemed the most horniest and joked about for it all of the time by the fact that they have 3,000 daughters and an undetermined amount of sons (their sons personify rivers around the world, so you can only imagine how many sons they got) easily surpassing Zeus and Poseidon, who are often joked about being the most horniest of the gods.
#greek mythology#greek myth#okeanos#oceanus#tethys#one could argue that since okeanos is depicted with a fish tail that somehow#their children were born in masses rather than one or few more at a time but#thats up to personal interpretation#tethys could actually just be so powerful and insane that so many pregnancies doesnt matter to her.#just like the mymble from the moomins

(A question for the Slipping through my fingers)
Y know since you mentioned the "Kronos thing" in I have been thinking about other Titans and Titanchomany but mosty about Okeanos and Thethis.
Okeanos is describted as rather calm but still scary Titan (he was neutral during Titanchomany), except that one time he ambushed Poseidons palace for a year (I have the feeling he doesn't like his son in law very much).
And Thethis is describted as a motherly figure and doesn't get herself into trouble.
Idk how you view this but i think that by the time Hera was still under their care she was well cared and possibly bonded with Metis even more since she's their kid, Hera is bassicaly adopted by them, so I imagine that losing Metis like THAT, and to see another child the child of her friend in such state (probably similar to hers and her siblings) stung a little more - besides do the grandparents know what happend to their daughter? Do they keep asking Hera or their "beloved" son in law where the hell she is??? Do they meet the only daughter of their probably one of the eldest daughters if not the oldest? Does Hera bring her to them to meet them? Or after some time they find out...
If you have any thoughts I'd love to hear them
oooh anon you're giving me ideas (Tasha, who literally just said there are too many characters in SltmF already, considering adding more bc juicy)
Immediate fan of Okeanos for this cos I too don't like his son in law lol
I find this super interesting, I will have to do some more research on Okeanus, Thetys and Rhea respectively cos I see a lot of potential there, with Hera's relationship with her parents and foster-parents I think Okeanos and Thetys would def put the pieces together seeing Athena. A daughter of Zeus, who was married to their daughter, and about the same age her child would have to be, AND with her grey eyes? You are not being as sneaky as you think you are, Zeus.
I think I'll have Triton initiate them meeting her, actually. Like, Zeus would not want that to happen, but he has no excuse to forbid it, and they would be Triton's grandparents ( Metis and Amphitrite are sisters so... Triton and Athena are double cousins lol) Especially fun if he doesn't know and just is confused why his grandparents keep asking Athena questions that she keeps deflecting bc she's not meant to talk about her mother and they are all upset and he doesn't know why

Haven't uploaded much, mostly working on a LOT of fanart for the ROR fic whose first chapter I haven't even started to write (lol)
The premise is loosely based off EwNasty's
Alongside a dash of @11queensupreme11's Arsenic Blues for the possible yandere, I love your characterization of ROR husbandos and it's your fault I'm so horny for them now /j (sorry for the ping if it's bad etiquette, I should probably learn how to actually Tumblr)
Reader/You are born as Okeanos (Left) and Tethys (Right) youngest child (amongst 3,000 sisters). You're a Leimonides Nymph (one of Persephone's companions, who does exist in this AU world, bottom left), alongside one of Amphitrite's sisters (Bottom Right)
Haven't ironed out a lot of details (besides doing way too much fanart of them as kids, my own Demeter design, Styx design etc) but I'm excited for this new hyper fixation lol.
Had lots of fun designing Persephone, in my AU she won't marry Hades as she's a ball of anger issues and bad temper who honors her name (The Destroyer) while also being a softie for You. She might or might not hate the fact she looks like a young genderbent Zeus lol
Anyways, that's that, toodles!

Favorite obscure myth?
Don't really have a favourite. But I was recently thinking about Rhea wrestling against Eurynome, and that almost entirely lost myth sounds dope as hell:
"Pherecydes, again, who is much older than Heraclitus, relates a myth of one army drawn up in hostile array against another, and names Kronos as the leader of the one, and Ophioneos of the other, and recounts their challenges and struggles, and mentions that agreements were entered into between them, to the end that whichever party should fall into the ocean should be held as vanquished, while those who had expelled and conquered them should have possession of heaven". (Origen. Contra Celsusm 6.42 = DK 7B4 = Pherecydes fr. 4 Ancilla to the Pre-Socratic Philosophers)
"And he sang how first of all Ophion and Eurynome, daughter of Okeanos, held the sway of snowy Olympus, and how through strength of arm one yielded his prerogative to Kronos and the other to Rhea, and how they fell into the waves of Ocean; but the other two meanwhile ruled over the blessed Titan gods, while Zeus, still a child and with the thoughts of a child, dwelt in the Dictaean cave; and the earthborn Cyclopes had not yet armed him with the bolt, with thunder and lightning; for these things give renown to Zeus." (Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 1. 503)
"As he [Helios] shines on the Ophionides [descendants of Ophion] . . . ((lacuna)) the older gods [Titanes?]." (Callimachus. Aetia fr. 177)
"And thou, O brother, most beloved of my heart, stay of our halls and of our whole fatherland, not in vain shalt thou redden the altar pedestal with blood of bulls, giving full many a sacrificial offering to him who is lord of Ophion’s throne [Zeus]. But he shall bring thee to the plain of his nativity [Crete], that land celebrated above others by the Greeks, where his mother [Rhea], skilled in wrestling, having cast into Tartarus the former queen [Eurynome], delivered her of him in travail of secret birth, escaping the child-devouring unholy feast of her spouse; and he fattened not his belly with food, but swallowed instead a stone, wrapped in limb-fitting swaddling-clothes: savage Centaur [Kronos; reference to his union with Philyra], tomb of his own offspring." (Lycophron Alexandra 1191) he's worse than Nonnos
"For before Kronos and Rhea, Ophion and Eurynome, daughter of Okeanos, ruled over the titans. But Kronos overcame Ophion and Rhea overcame Eurynome, casting them into Tartaros. They ruled of the gods until they themselves were cast into Tartaros by Zeus when he took power." (Tzetzes on Lycophron 1191)
The most convincing theory I've read, in my opinion, is that Ophion and Eurynome are parallels of Okeanos (Ogenos for Pherekydes) and Tethys. Okeanos and Tethys are sometimes fitted into genealogies preceeding Kronos and Rhea as parents of the titans (Plato Tim. 40e), similarly to how Ophion and Eurynome are fitted into the succession myth. They are always banished to the river Ocean (save in Lykophron), to which Eurynome is always connected, being classified as an Okeanid by both Hesiod and Homer, who also makes her dwell there (Hom. Il. 18.394-405). Her watery association is also present in her sanctuary in Arcadia, where her xoanon had the form of a mermaid (Paus. 8.41.4-6). Nonnos still pictures Ophion inhabiting the ocean (Dio. 8.150-160), and the world-encircling river being imagined as a world-encircling serpent isn't too far-fetched, considering the orphic propensity for world-encircling serpents, and Okeanos' appearance in vase art. Perhaps a myth existed where Kronos and Rhea battled Okeanos and Tethys for the throne, but who knows. In any case all of this is just conjecture (fun conjecture though).

Thetis, Leucothea, and Palaemon.
Leucothea and Palaemon were originally the humans Ino and Melicertes, whose family fostered Dionysus as a child, until they were doomed by Hera's curses.

Sun in Pisces I (18-28 Feb 2024)
The Sun enters Pisces I The Labyrinth in Austin Coppock‘s naming system, on 18 February 2024 at 11:13 pm EST — and exits on 28 February at 9:44 pm EST. During this time, Aquarius and Pisces will be crowded with almost all the major players, while Jupiter and Uranus get more intimate in Taurus — a couple in flagrante delicto in the bedroom while the main party takes place elsewhere. It’s a…

Often in the course of the boy's training Okeanos would have a pretty game, lifting Phaethon on his midbelly and letting him drop down; he would throw the boy high in the air, rolling over and over moving in a high path as quick as the wandering wind, and catch him again on his arm; then he would shoot him up again, and the boy would avoid the ready hand of Okeanos, and turn a somersault round and round till he splashed into the dark waters, prophet of his own death.
Nonnus, Dionysiaca 38. 108 ff

OKAY! Geeking out time!
So for those of you who are all 'what is this?' the E/V Nautilus is one of several ROV mission ships doing underwater research around the world that also has livestreams during active missions. (There's also the Okeanos Explorer, which is run by NOAA, and a few other smaller boats, but the big two you'll see on YouTube are Okeanos and Nautilus.)
And they're livestreamed nearly all day during their mission seasons with scientist commentators, both on the boat and a team of scientists who'll call in to do specialized identifications.
And they're all geeks, the lot of them, and the livestreams are basically all Like That. It's fantastic.
I love them both, but the Nautilus team often does collaborations with Hawaiian cultural experts, and I think they're worth a check out just for that. They're both inactive as I write this, and will post their missions probably in May/June? I'd definitely check them out if you can and love learning about the ocean!
Content warnings though (just in case) for both deep ocean everything and dead animals. The staff will 100% get those cameras up close and uncomfy with dead animals, especially whale falls, but that's relatively rare.
Nautilus expedition live streams (+ their commentary) 2020 / 2021 / 2022
