Overly sarcastic productions///Destripando la historia.

Artemis vs Hera.

Bonus: For those who really love Artemis, don't worry, in DLH they actually draw her giving Hera a German Suplex.

ST Epic Cycle AU feat. Buckingham as Menelaus and Helen

Quotes are from The Illiad, The Orestia, The Odyssey, and Helen

[onceuponaladye]

Wow Jason really is the worst husband (second to Zeus, that is)

[thegrinningghost]

don’t get me wrong, I love the EPIC community and their ‘substitute mentor AU,’ but they can take this so much further

historically, around the Iliad-Odyssey era, Dionysus was still very much in his creepy Mycenaean era

by this I mean his cult, his ram horns, the Maenads, he was an old bearded dude, Hera had Giants tear him apart limb by limb???? oh only his heart was saved and he usurped the role of Prince of the Underworld from Zagreus

I’m just sayin’, y’all don’t have to be accurate about anything, but if you guys wanna have some fun with Telemachus and Dionysus, look at OSP talking about him and take your pick of scary shenanigans from there

[the-unknown-fandom]

(MY) EPIC Headcanons

I love Jorge work so much (Suffering/Puppeteer are my favorites). I also like to thank OSP for giving a brief summary of the Odyssey.

After Odysseus kills/murders the suitors he spends a month relaxing with his son and Penelope.

Odysseus tells Telemachus about his Uncle Polites/Uncle Eurylochus.

Odysseus tells Telemachus about his adventures.

Circe becomes an aunt to Telemachus and a mother figure to Odysseus (Because I said so). Even though Circe doesn't come to Ithaca she sends letters to them.

I'd d like to think Odysseus was a heavy sleeper but became a light sleeper during his adventures.

During the song 'Underworld' Polites was singing open arms, but was holding the baby from the song 'The Infant and the Horse'.

When Ody first met Penelope he LITERALLY tucked a hair behind his ear. Penelope found it cute. Telemachus gets that trait whenever he is flustered & reminds Pene of his father.

Hermes is the Grandfather to Ody. (When researching how Hermes is related to Ody it was tricky and I gave up).

Penelope is the man in the relationship (Change my mind).

Odysseus was scared as shit to go near water because of Poseiden. Took him a few years to heal from that.

Odysseus doesn't know this, but Athena thought Odysseus as a son, a companion, someone closes to her. Even after their falling out, Athena goes out of her way to protect Odysseus. Which is shocking even to the gods. Gods aren't really attacted to mortals.

During Thunder Bringer Zeus actually consider to spare Odysseus crew if Odysseus was to sleep with him (whether he wanted to or not), but Hera intervened. Hera is very protective of men who are very faithful to their partners (Ex: Ody). Plus she knows Odysseus will always stay faithful to Penelope and she loves that about him.

Helena of Troy (after being rescued) had nightmares, even with her husband she's still scared that Paris or any of the trojans coming to get her back to Paris. Menelaus really wanted to rip Paris part by part because of the pain he caused to his wife.

During his childhood, Telemachus would always sleep next to his mother, Telemachus always feared that one of the suitors would violate his mother when he wasn't there to protect her.

Hermes gave Odysseus magic weed- Athena almost beat the shit outta him for that.

(In the Odyssey) Hermes did NOT like Calypso after what she did to Odysseus. Ares had to restrain him from going after Calypso.

Odysseus learned some flirting tips from Circe that he tried to use on Penelope (It didn't work, but he did get a kiss!), Penelope tried the same and Odysseus was a flustered mess.

Athena checks up on Ithaca once n' a while, Odysseus knows this and always left a window opened for the Goddess to watch over his family and kingdom.

While Poseiden was attacking Odysseus for blinding his son, half of it was because he was claimed by Athena, but now because Odysseus wasn't claimed by Athena anymore, Poseiden could do more harm.

Odysseus is a short king (that we almost stan ✨️), he was at the height of his father when he was in his early teens. Odysseus was recored as the shortest king of Ithaca, his son being only 2 inches higher than him.

Odysseus comforted his sister about Eury's death. Eurylochus was married to Odysseus younger sister, Ctimene, making Eurylochus Odysseus brother in law (Odysseus actually helped Eurylochus marry his sister, because he knew Eurylochus was the right and prefect husband for his sister.

ARES DEBUNKED

I’ve scrolled down probably ten dozen posts on Greek mythology with such misinformed facts that I kind of want to die…. My classics professors would probably have been eviscerated by how some of these questionable takes are being presented as fact.

IT’S FINE TO HAVE YOUR OWN INTERPRETATIONS OF THE MYTHS BUT DON’T STATE THEM AS FACT WITHOUT EVIDENCE/SOURCES ESPECIALLY WITH THE MORE HISTORICAL STUFF.

And don’t link like a website with ten thousand ads which also has no citations as your source cmon Tumblr we’re better then that lmao

To debunk of some them now:

No, Ares wasn’t worshipped or known as the ‘protector of women’. He does have a better reputation with them than others and you’re free to interpret those myths as supporting the idea but DON’T PRESENT THEM AS FACT BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE. I will say that he’s a better dad than most of the pantheon.

Also the whole ‘Ares Gynaecothoenas’ being proof of his ‘feminism’ is gonna be the end of me. Yes we have Pausanias’ account of this BUT HE NEVER MENTIONS THAT ARES DIRECTLY HELPED THE WOMEN FIGHT. THEY DID THAT THEMSELVES. WE COULD INFER THEY PRAYED TO HIM THROUGH THEIR ACTIONS AFTER BUT AGAIN HE DID NOT DIRECTLY HELP. always kinda funny when people inadvertently make an already fairly ‘feminist’ story less so by stating that a male god was the reason behind their success lol.

Also would suggest reading the Wikipedia articles for the myths people use to prop him up as the chivalrous protector of women - not a good source itself but they link all the primary sources way better then most Tumblr users will ever. For example, the ‘Ares got abducted while saving his mother and sister and was repaid when Artemis saved him’ thing is quite a distorted take on the story. Yes the giants did want to get to Hera and Artemis but some versions of the myths have Apollo actually kill them. Ares does get abducted in at least one version of the myth but no myth actually states Artemis went with Hermes to save Ares (misconception from OSP I believe but even their wikia explicitly states that Red is wrong here).

Did Ares rape/assault women? Ok now this one’s very interesting because even my classmates don’t agree on a single answer. The general consensus seems to be that he did EXPLICITLY rape/assault but some of the wording regarding Astyoche and Phylonome is kinda vague. I haven’t read the original text yet (my Ancient Greek is not amazing) but all translations use ‘seduce’ and I guess if you consider Leda and Zeus to be rape then Phylonome would be dubious at best.

Now was Ares was the patron of Sparta? I’ve not got enough knowledge on the subject to feel comfortable enough explaining to I’ll link a blog I think does a better job @the-good-spartan

Is Ares a pathetic loser? Now this one’s up to your interpretation. Personally I see him as a victim of the Worf effect - sometimes cool, other times not so much (Iliad and Diomedes… I know Athena was helping him but point still stands - he’s as strong as the writer/storyteller wants him to be). Still a big fan of his dynamic with Athena - so fun seeing the duality of war.

If anyone wants to add more be my guest (all I ask is for a source to be included hehe)

[nerdasaurus1200]

At last, it’s Argonaut time!!

First off naturally, the stars of the show, Jason and Medea. I tried to give Jason a bit of a peacock color scheme to reflect Hera since he’s her champion. With really shiny and colorful armor both to reflect his prince status and also how much of a showboat he is and how he views himself as a heroic golden boy. Medea, I used mostly purple to reflect her magic and royal status, with just a dash of red to reflect how bloody her story is. And I gave her a cat because why not? I heard somewhere that cats are vaguely connected to Hecate so it felt fitting.

And of course, the Dioscuri Pollux and Castor. I tried hard to really lean into the young Spartan boy aspect while also making them close enough that you can’t really tell them apart from a distance. OSP on youtube inspired some of their physical features- with Pollux having lighter hair, blue eyes, and lightning marks to reflect his demigod status while Castor looks a little more human.

Next the other set of brothers- the Boreads, Zetes (left) and Calais (right), the Argo's eyes in the sky. They're the sons of the North Wind but for ambiguity's sake I made them look a bit like Aeolus. After a LOT of consideration and trial and error I tried to make their clothing a little warmer looking than the other Argonauts but still breezy. Something that would easily flow in the wind. I imagine them both as the Eugene Fitzherberts of the group. Super protective but also kinda vain at times

Next, Meleager and Caeneus! I imagine they both step in as leader of the Argonauts when Jason isn’t around. Meleager was fun but a little difficult cause I wanted him to look heroic but also simple. Caeneus was a such a blast as I was digging into his mythology to figure out his design. I tried to make him look a little androgynous but mostly masculine. You’ll notice I snuck the trans pride flag into his outfit.

And the three teenage stooges- Hercules, Atalanta, and Orpheus. They’re probably among the youngest of the Argonauts. Because I’m a disney girl at heart I made Hercules look very close to his disney counterpart. This new version Atalanta was fun cause I wanted her to look like she’s kind of at a level 1 compared to my first design for her. And since Orpheus is a musician and half Muse I tried to make his outfit really flashy, kinda like a circus performer.

Next up is Hippomenes and Eurydice! Now I couldn’t find any concrete source saying they were for sure on the Argo but somehow Hippomenes was there according to some source. And the idea of Eurydice being there too is just too wholesome not to include. Plus more women is never a bad thing.

For Hippomenes since in my headcanons he also grew up isolated into the woods like Atalanta, I wanted to parallel that by also dressing him in brown. I also made him a little bit of a beanpole cause I like to think he was kinda the “weakling/runt” of Chiron’s students.

Eurydice was super fun cause her being a nymph, I wanted to make her look really flowy and unique. To reflect her being a field nymph I put her in a really bright almost flower-like red. And turns out she’s Apollo’s daughter, so I made her a deer nymph since that’s one of his sacred animals.

And finally Autolycus and Laertes, Odysseus’s father and grandfather and the resident Dad Friends of the Argo. In the Epic fandom I tend to see a lot of people dress Odysseus and/or Telemachus in blue, so I thought it’d be fitting if Laertes is part of that pattern. With Autolycus being Hermes's son I put him in teal, as a nod to both the Ithacan royal family and his own divine lineage. Like Meleager I tried to make both look a little simple and humble, but a lot more weathered.

[gemini-queen42]

I've been seeing a bunch of Hera designs recently, so here's a sketch dump of mine :]

Most of these are from over a year ago-bcuz I originally made this design for a dnd Campaign where I played her !

[You can see the other pcs in the last image- Aphrodite, Eros, & Dionysus]

Ik I have more sketches but id have to go find em cuz these r just the images I've got on my phone rn... till then, Design Details under the cut ♡

I was SUPER particular abt her design, I was super proud of that drawing of her [the 1st one] when I made it. I still am when it comes to drawing her features, though I'm not as much a fan of that original drawing anymore.

Anyways, I based her face shape & structure on that of a cow, in fact I refferenced a very specific cow breed- id have to go find my sketchbook where I wrote it down to be sure, but I think it was the Agathonisi? There were reasons, though I don't quite recall them rn.

Anyways, The reason I chose to base her features on cattle in general is because their associations to her, and that she has the epithet Boṓpis - which I adore as a word and also means "cow-eyed". I swear she's also been described as "cow-faced", but I can't refind it...

[Also, I can't remember if I made her eyebrows that shape in the same vein or if I decided I just Liked Them cuz I think it was at least a mix lol]

But! Although she's mostly cow-like in features, I did include peacock elements. Her little hair strands at her cheeks, for one. Her body type is also a merging of a peacock & a cattle- I think her leg shape is also mixed? You can see it clearly in the 7th image. Joints wise its closer to cattle, but I think there's peacock influence in there as well.

Sloping shoulders was also an intentional choice, related to both the animal anatomical inspiration and small details to help her look more maternal.

Her hair is generally brown, coppery? but glints this gold color in the light- you can see how I tried to shade it in the digital. I think it's partially because at the time, I was used to picturing Hera as OSP draws her- all Golden, w/ golden hair. But she's mostly depicted w/ dark hair, [plus this is a more realistic design] so.. boom. Golden glint. I think that's also part of the reason I gave her a yellower undertone?? Plus Ichor being gold so yknow. In a similar vein I also recal partially lamenting limiting her skin to something paler in accordance w/ her "white-armed" epithet. [I imposed this on myself. You can tell no one else was going this deep.]

Abyways, The way her hair swirls is meant to partially imitate a peacocks tail feathers!

Oh, her eyes- dark & cow-like in shape! But also, I designed them to look a lil swirly/scribbly, pupil-less- "if her eyes were any lighter you could see the madness swirling inside them" I think was the phrase I liked using.

Now she didn't wear her usual clothes in the campaign as it was set modern era- but there was thought in there too! [Refferencing the 1st drawing again]

Pomegranate pin bcuz associations, she has lil cattle horn detailings on her diadem/polos [I intentionally designed it to be a mix between the two style-wise, idk if it gets across tho lol]-

She has elements of ancient Persian clothing, notably the cloth pinned w/ the pomegranate & I think the sash? [I'll find the real names l8r]- that's cuz apparently the peacock was also called the Persian Bird in ancient Greece, and I think that led me to finding some stuff abt her having some origins or associations w/ Persia? Id have to refind it all, but yeah. And lastly ofc, the most obvious, big peacock train!♡

Ok thats all I can remember rn- if you've got questions abt anything or.. well literally anything idk feel free to say lol-

[Nearly crashed out cuz I thought tumblr ate this post when I tried to save it to drafts but she didn't yippee !! But the images did get moved a bit +some other lil things- I did my best to fix them but if they're still screwy sorry <//3 lemme know dhjdej]

[mydnite-moonrabbit]

i feel like you either can or could at some point recite the names of all the greek gods off the top of your head

Can't do ALL of them since like. Every single river and mountain had its own god. But I can do some of the big ones

Zeus - God of lightning/thunder and hospitality and also king of the gods

Hera - Goddess of marraige and family and rulership and also Zeus's wife/sister(They're gods, it's fine)

Athena - Goddess of war, specifically the fancy noble stuff like battle tactics. One of three Virgin Goddesses

Ares - God of war, specifically the more brutal parts(hence why the ancient greeks seemed to not really like him).

Demeter - Goddess of nature and making things grow. She's the one that brings the plants back to life in Spring, not Persephone

Persephone - Daughter of Demeter, wife of Hades. Due to pomegranite shenanigans she has to stay in the Underworld 6 months of the year and when that happens Demeter gets all bummed and stops things from growing

Hades - God of the dead. Probably the only major god with a functioning romantic relationship

Hestia - Goddess of the Hearthfire. Another one of the Virgin Goddesses

Apollo - God of music and medicine and archery and I think civilisation and later took Helios's role as sun god

Artemis - Goddess of the hunt and medicine and archery and later took Selene's role as moon goddess, which causes some issues since Artemis is a Virgin Goddess and Selene's only story is her falling in love with Endymion. Go watch the OSP video on it

Dionysus - God of wine and maybe parties. Used to also be a god of chaos and madness but the ruling class kinda toned him down to just be the chronic drunk of Olympus

Pan - God of the wilds I think. Canonically the oldest god despite being Hermes's son and Hermes being the youngest god. Don't think about it

Hermes - God of messengers and roads and stuff and one of the many psychopomps in the mythology

Poseidon - God of the seas and earthquakes. Everyone knows about Zeus not being able to keep it in his pants but Poseidon couldn't either

Aphrodite - Goddess of beauty and love and sex I think. Sometimes she's really sweet and other times she straight-up tries to murder people. Probably the only one of the big 12 to be universally worshipped in day-to-day life

Eros - God of love. He's the guy that shoots arrows in things to make them fall in love. Son of Aphrodite

Hephaestus - God of smiths and craftsmen. Disabled, either from a congenital illness or injuries from the fall after being chucked off of Olympus. His forge is located in Mt. Etna

Eileithyia - goddess of childbirth. You probably haven't heard about her. Hera periodically kidnaps her to keep Zeus's bastard children from being born.

No one else is coming to mind at the moment

Harmonia I literally downloaded the OSP chibi pic of Harmonia, and I will give you what I had on my clipboard, Harmonia Wikipedia page

In Greek mythology, Harmonia (/hɑːrˈmoʊniə/; Ancient Greek: Ἁρμονία /harmoˈnia/, "harmony", "agreement") is the goddess of harmony and concord. Her Roman counterpart is Concordia. Her Greek opposite is Eris, whose Roman counterpart is Discordia.

Family[edit]

Harmonia and the serpent

According to one account, she is the daughter of Ares and Aphrodite.[1] By another account, Harmonia was from Samothrace and was the daughter of Zeus and Electra, her brothers were Dardanus and Iasion being the founder of the mystic rites celebrated on the island.[2][3]

Almost always, Harmonia is married to Cadmus. With Cadmus, she was the mother of Ino, Polydorus, Autonoë, Agave, and Semele. Their youngest son[4] was Illyrius.[5]

Mythology[edit]

Polynices giving Eriphyle the necklace of Harmonia. Attic red-figure oinochoe, ca. 450–440 BC. Found in Italy.

Those who described Harmonia as a Samothracian related that Cadmus, on his voyage to Samothrace, after being initiated in the mysteries, perceived Harmonia and carried her off with the assistance of Athena. When Cadmus was obliged to quit Thebes, Harmonia accompanied him. When they came to the Enchelii, they assisted them in their war against the Illyrians, and conquered the enemy. Cadmus then became king of the Illyrians, but afterwards he was turned into a serpent. Harmonia, in her grief stripped herself, then begged Cadmus to come to her. As she was embraced by the serpent Cadmus in a pool of wine, the gods then turned her into a serpent, unable to stand watching her in her dazed state.[6]

The cursed necklace[edit]

Harmonia is renowned in ancient story chiefly on account of the fatal necklace she received on her wedding day. When the government of Thebes was bestowed upon Cadmus by Athena, Zeus gave him Harmonia. All the gods honored the wedding with their presence. Cadmus presented the bride with a robe and necklace, which he had received either from Hephaestus or from Europa.[7] This necklace, commonly referred to as the necklace of Harmonia, brought misfortune to all who possessed it.[2] Other traditions stated that Harmonia received this necklace (ὅρμος) from some of the gods, either from Aphrodite or Athena.[8]

Polynices, who inherited the necklace, gave it to Eriphyle, that she might persuade her husband, Amphiaraus, to undertake the expedition against Thebes.[9] Through Alcmaeon, the son of Eriphyle, the necklace came into the hands of Arsinoe (named Alphesiboea in some versions), next into those of the sons of Phegeus, Pronous and Agenor, and lastly into those of the sons of Alcmaeon, Amphoterus and Acarnan, who dedicated it in the temple of Athena Pronoea at Delphi.[10] The necklace had wrought mischief to all who had been in possession of it, and it continued to do so even after it was dedicated at Delphi. Phayllus, the tyrant, stole it from the temple to gratify his mistress, who is married to Ariston. She wore it for a time, but at last her youngest son was seized with madness, and set fire to the house, in which she perished with all her treasures.[11]

Hyginus gives another version. According to him, the thing which brought ill fate to the descendants of Harmonia is not a necklace, but a robe "dipped in crime", given to Harmonia by Hephestus and Hera.[12] The necklace gave peace and held Harmonia's powers in it, which is what made it cursed.

Harmonia is also rationalized as closely allied to Aphrodite Pandemos, the love that unites all people, the personification of order and civic unity, corresponding to the Roman goddess Concordia.[2]

do it :3

[oddballtumbles]

Building a Percy Jackson OC in my head right now. Have not read the books in years, I plan to reread them, just can’t right now. But this just WON’T leave me alone.

(Adult language and shit btw)

Daughter of Hephaestus, her mom met him in her early 20s, girl is 7/12, mom was pregnant 7 times, multiple sets of twins. ALL of them are kids of Hephaestus, their house is basically warded against monsters because by the time the second set of twins were on their way, Mom had enough and made Hephaestus deal with it. Hades now has a state of the art fetch machine for Cerberus, and monsters don’t bother her family until she dies. (Spoiler alert, Momma achieves minor godhood eventually due to popular demand and the invention of … something I haven’t decided yet; but it accidentally causes no monsters to be able to go after her bloodline. EVER lol)

Daughter is NOT an engineer (most of her siblings are engineers, tech developers, etc) but is thorough in SASS, and is more of a tinker type. The kind of person who knows random stuff and always carries ducktape but is more likely to only quick fix then refer you to professional than actually fix the problem. Just because the crack is taped doesn’t mean the bucket is fixed.

Specific interaction that keeps popping in my head:

Aphrodite (mad about long relationship with her husband, taking it out on the child of said relationship that happens to be in front of her)

Daughter (full of sass and absolutely fucking done with any and all dieties who think they are above the modern world just because they deign to exist within it occasionally. She has read the texts and watched the OSP videos. Nope)

A: I can’t believe anyone would even last that long! What could there possibly be to interest her in him???

D: idk but I can tell you that she likes the chair. Admittedly if she sat in it less there’d be less of us soooo.

A: please I be he’s only paying attention because she is the only one to look back.

D: well seeing as I’m a combo of both of them and when I went to camp everyone tried to send me to your cabin I’m not sure what that says about your poor taste. Or maybe eyesight?

A: are you calling me old?

D: you are literally older than Greece. What do you want me to do with that?

A: you-

D: look I’m just going to say this. If you paid even half as much attention to the husband you say you don’t want as you do to the lover you jerk around like an angry chihuahua, I probably wouldn’t be in your face sassing you.

A: Zeus arranged-

D: Oh please don’t get me started on that slut. We will be here longer than my mother’s been pregnant. Idk why Hera doesn’t just divorce the walking penis. It is a thing that exists! Also her taking out her rage on the kids and victims of his philandering is just avoiding the problem and causing more grief for the rest of us. If it’s some sort role play they are doing, nobody else is consenting the involvement, they both need to stop.

(Shocked silence.)

D: oh please, I cannot be the first to come up with that.

A: I’m not sure whether to smite you or give you a job.

D: I’ve never been smote before! Unless we count that time in the metallurgy which we do not talk to mom about. I came back fine! Barely even counts!

——————

Idk if I want her to have a Greek name or just a random one. I feel like she would get along with PJ-Dionysius in a “let’s drink and get high” kinda way.

She definitely has slept in all the cabins for no reason other than she broke in and felt like it.

Occasionally Hermes feels like she might be threatening his job a little, especially when she worked as a courier with heelies and a skateboard.

She’s ace by the way. Probably aro too, which is why she has no fear in front of Aphrodite.

[pompompurin1028]

Something about The Sandman having beings that are anthropomorphic personifications of concepts just as the mythological gods were personification of physical and conceptual phenomenon is so delicious. I love the absolutely complex relationships portrayed between the gods and the endless because they are all literally symbolic concepts personified with actual complicated relationships with each other, connected yet sometimes competing. Because they are not technically 'characters' they are concepts.

[hamable]

All 2020 AND 2021 pins back in stock?!?!

[thegodofkhaosinkarnate]

I watched this post appear on my dash and slowly descended into shock, horror, and pity. This poor soul is going to get struck down.

Like. Confusing Zeus for Odin? Odin is the Nordic god of wisdom, travelers, and ruler of the gods. He is Thor's father and a known trickster. He is nothing like his Marvel counterpart (Marvel does this a lot with their gods, they also got his relationship with Loki wrong- Loki is his sworn blood brother, not his son) and he is NOTHING like Zeus. Really, he's closer to Hermes. Zeus is the head of the Greek Pantheon, god of the sky, lightning, hospitality, and leadership. He banged just about any mortal who took his fancy, earning the wrath of his wife Hera and siring many demigods. He fills an entirely different mythological niche in terms of what he represents and encourages.

Please, please, if you have any interest in these mythologies, go watch Overly Sarcastic Productions on Youtube. OSP summaries many of these myths in quick, funny videos that are easy to understand. I am begging you, there is so much rich storytelling and history in these myths, learning is fun, please go learn.

this website’s easy watch. *dangles a bunch of greek gods like keys*
