#pjo Peitho

[bugwolfsstuff]

Peitho, minor goddess of persuasion and wife of Hermes joining Luke's cause because she refuses to be ignored (whether it be by Hermes or in general as a minor goddess)

And we watch Hermes lose his wife and son 😁😁😁

[cynthiav06]

I'm really pleasantly surprised that you answered :)

Of course, here are some materials from where I got information about Zagreus and Peitho!

For Peitho:

https://mirrorpalace.wordpress.com/2009/10/17/an-exploration-of-peitho/ - her research, which I really love.

And here is the stream of consciousness about her - https://mirrorpalace.wordpress.com/2009/08/17/thoughts-on-peitho/

They both don't belong to me.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/3093410 -the fanfiction in which she appears, just keep in mind that it can be very difficult and dark there - Nico Di Angelo becomes a victim. This fanfiction also doesn't belong to me.

Zagreus:

https://hades.fandom.com/wiki/Zagreus - his wiki page, though I can't judge how good it is, because mostly I just read fanfiction/posts on tumblr and get information from there.

and - https://www.tumblr.com/happyk44/tagged/Zagreus - there is also a lot of good material about Zagreus.

And here's one fanfiction - https://archiveofourown.org/works/47538967/chapters/119808652 - from there I draw the creepy and dark part of Zagreus. It doesn't belong to me.

I'm sorry if you get a little confused. I "collect" Character images from various sources, reinforcing them with my own thoughts. For example, Peitho in my understanding is basically the same as in "An Abyss for Atonement" with some additions and my changes. And if you were wondering why I see Percy as a legacy of goddess of charm and a chthonic god - the answer is simple - Percy is beautiful and charming,He is most likely one of the most beautiful demigods of his generation and he can convince you to do what he wants. And I think Percy has some kind of connection with the underworld, it's a subtle dark atmosphere and the fact that he likes to travel through the shadows. His connection to the underworld is subtle and not too noticeable, as if, funny to say, ghostly.

I think this was the hardest of asks, but somehow, I liked it entirely too much. It's a bit out of box take, but I have already done one where I wrote Percy as a Legacy of Odysseus, so I think this fits too. Why do I have a feeling this is going to be a recurring theme for asks?

I am so terribly sorry for the delay but I didn't want to make the post without reading up on most of your suggestions; as I have said I was really unfamiliar with both Zagreus and Peitho.

As per anon's request Percy is a Legacy of Zagreus and Peitho through his grandparents. Percy Jackson as the Legacy of Zagreus and Peitho. [His grandmother Estelle was the daughter of Zagreus, and his grandfather James - son of Peitho].

Peitho is a very interesting deity. I suggest all readers check out at least one of anon's references. She is the deity of seduction, of persuasion , of divine charm and thrall. A force of passion and abstract power.

In certain versions, she is also an alternate representation of one of the Moraie. Lachesis, to be precise. She also used to represent the concept of everything that has happened before or has been till now.

Zagreus, though intriguing, is a bit more straightforward. I know I know I just called a chthonic god straight forward, but he is. Now, the wiki states that he is the God of Blood, but in one of the codex entries, Achilles says he is also a God of life.

He has connections with Styx and has traversed through Tartarus and here's a fun fact in the orignal myths Zagreus and Dinosyus are actually the same gods or at least father and son which would kind of create an extremely strange and entertaining dynamic but let's stick to game wiki. Not to mention the very newly layered dynamic now painted between Percy, Hades, and Nico.

Now think, Percy, eloquent and charming, words dripping with unspoken power. People think it's the tongue of the sea, of sirens, alluring and hypnotic, but it's far older, far more primordial, of Peithos, of divine eloquence, of persuasion.

Perseus Jackson, who none, not god nor mortal, can deny. Persuasion by words, persuasion by war , is it not all the same? Both reflect passion and thus reflect Peitho.

Perseus Jackson, beautiful and alluring, yet dangerous. Too sharp edged. Not a gentle beauty. A sharp, passionate, bloody beauty ,whether of sea or underworld we know not yet.

Percy Jackson, with midnight black hair, so vivid, so deep, that even the Lord of the Underworld balks at the resemblance, to his own line and that of Poseidon's.

Percy Jackson, who dreams and dreams yet again of things that have been, ages before or just now, it does not matter. He has my sight drawls Peitho , lips red with blood and rose, from somewhere far away, but perhaps Sally hears it all the same for she has it too, the gift of her line.

Perseus, whom Styx spares the fatal curse of Achilles not out of Roman interference but out of familial bonds, of primordial connections. The Underworld looks after its own, does it not? And Perseus Jackson is most certainly of the Underworld, will always be.

Percy, whose mind bends blood as easily as it would water sees not the gift of Zagreus, but a horror of Tartarus but he will come to see, after all blood is life and life is blood. Of blood and over blood child, that is your power declares Zagreus from the deepest caverns if the Underworld and Percy thinks he's heard the whispers of the pit but perhaps, just perhaps blood will serve him well, better than sea, better than water.

Perseus, whose call the rivers obey, the rivers of the Underworld. They recognize the blood of their own, do they not? They do, and they answer. They always will, and so will the dead if he dares call upon them. One day, one day whispers Achilles to Zagreus as they watch, the rise and triumph of the favored child of the sea and the Underworld.

Percy, who puts all in his thrall just with the green of his eyes and the smile at his lips. He sees not the divine Peitho in himself, but Aphrodite does not miss, neither do the Olympians.

Perseus, who teeters on the edge of mortal and divine as does Zagreus between living and death. Both, neither, one more than the other. Which one? We may yet see, but Peitho knows, and so does Zagreus. They do not say it, but the Olympians feel it. The wave of change.

Percy, who finds his way in and out of his uncle's, once and again, and then always. New ways and old ones, even forgotten ones. Perhaps Zagreus will be out of a job soon, thinks Persephone fondly. Not even the Lord of the Dead finds it in himself the words of chagrin.

That's all the thoughts I can think up at the moment but I will reblog with more I am sure cause this will stay with me.

I wrote it a bit too dramatically, but I think it fits well. All things considered. Also, anon, let me know if this was to your liking.

Also, I think Zagreus's dynamic with Nico could be super interesting, and maybe just maybe it deserves it own post.

I was thinking about your scion headcanons and thought of an Hermes kid with Peitho -the goddess of persuasion being with a trickster sounds kinda interesting- and then I found out that Peitho is (sometimes) married to Hermes

And that folks, is how god marriages works lol. Humanity pairs gods together depending on their domain and how often they interact. Like Love and War, Beauty being the inspiration and being in craftsmanship.

Cause you have to remember anon, the gods are concepts that humanity tacked on based on their own culture and society, rather then actual people. They're a reflection of the values, ideas, and life of a civilization that worshiped them.

Besides, I already answered an ask about a Hephaestus having a kid with a legacy of Aphrodite > [Link 1] || [Link 2]

So the goddess of Persuasion being 'married' to the God of Tricksters sounds about right, cause tricksters often have to persuade people. (i.e. Tricksters are not just mischievous or those who wanted to pull scams on people, as tricksters are also known for being smart so being a little bit of a trickster is a good character like Heracles did with Atlas to trick him into giving back the sky)

Also it could still happen honestly and frankly not the worst thing Greek gods have done either. It's not like the Hermes kid is Peithos kid either, if anything Peithos may be attracted to the Hermes demigod because they remind her of Hermes so much which is flattering. So a scion of being born from a Hermes' demigod and the goddess of Persuasion would made Chiron's hair turn grayer faster. Can you imagine the sheer chaos that could happen?

[bugwolfsstuff]

Aglaea is Hephaestus's wife actually

Hermes's wife in some myths is Peitho, the personification of persuasion (very fitting for him)

I don't know why I wanna talk about that, but—

Hermes has a wife. The nymph Aglaea.

I mean, Rick mentioned that romance between Aphrodite and Ares... But like Aphrodite and Hermes has a child.

I wanna talk more about gods and goddess being sluts and cheaters.

Okay, so for my own fanfictions, most of which take place post-TOA and therefore post-Percy "claim your children" Jackson and Jason "honor minor gods" Grace, I made myself a spreadsheet of all the cabins I believe could plausibly be at Camp Half-Blood, and ended up with a whopping 270, and there's probably more dieties whom I couldn't find any information on, and some dieties whom I don't believe would have a cabin (ex. Kronos) (if you think I should add someone comment) and decided to paste it here, since I don't feel comfortable sharing my original spreadsheet. I did add the water dieties, even though their kids could also plausibly go to the underwater camp, but I've decided to give them the option of what camp they want. I also didn't copy their domains, but I have the list from my research, so you can ask if you'd like, I'll be glad to explain! Most of my research was from Theoi Project - Greek Mythology, and Brittanica, and probably some others I've since forgotten, so if you know any good Greek Mythology resourses and books, please share!

Here's some symbols before we begin:

* - virgin goddess. I added them because Athena and Artemis already have cabins (and Athena kids by magical means)

" - Dieties whom have faded in the series. Their cabins are more memorials to them.

Additionally there are 2 dieties named Thalia, (1) Thalia refers to the muse, the goddess of comedies, and (2) Thalia refers to the goddess of festivities and banquet

So that's my list. I don't really have a rhyme or reason for why each number is each, but I did clump together gods with similar domains because that's where they were easiest to find in my research... I honestly think kids of minor gods are very underused in TOA fics, and even in PJO and HOO to an extent. Jillie, my nine year old daughter of Gelus with a contageous laugh? One of my fave OCs.

As for Roman gods and goddess, I'm not as knowledgable, but hopefully I'll make a spreadsheet for plausable godly parents, though unlike CHB it doesn't need to be organized as there's just Cohorts. I don't write Camp Jupiter fics all that often, but it'll be a good resource to have if I choose to.

[tennessoui]

For Obi-Wan's parent in the pjo au, how about the Peitho, the goddess of negotiation and persuasion?

this pairs well with this ask i got around the same time!:

Re: Obi-Wan being the son of a minor god/goddess My initial thought was Nike (goddess of victory) because even though shit gets rough (infinite sadness and all, he makes it through to the other side victorious just maybe not how he wanted things to work out) also i feel like he’s usually the victor in verbal spares etc etc My second thought was too look up the goddess of wit and/or charm. Turns out Athena is technically the goddess of wit. But the goddess of charm is Charis, who is also the goddess of beauty, grace, nature, human creativity and life/fertility 🤔

so nike is actually one of the only minor gods/goddesses i know 50% because of the sports brand and 50% because of the statue in the louvre

and i think nike is a top contender still but also i love the idea of peitho, goddess of persuasion 10000% because the article i looked up for this has a quote where peitho is also translated to mean seduction and persuasion/negotiation/seduction is like the gray area i love obi-wan falling into

i think for this specific pjo au, i want 25 year old obi-wan to meet the 9 year old child of hades in las vegas - that way, anakin's still surrounded by desert a la phantom menace & i know for a fact from consuming fast and furious 7 that there is racing outside las vegas that teenager anakin would love

AND so obi-wan could be there in las vegas as an 'i'm bored with my life' thing or an 'i have some free time and work in los angeles and i know i am somehow very lucky/successful at gambling' (which would actually be the goddess tyche apparently but we're using the broad sense of victory and or seduction/persuasion)

like i just think i want obi-wan there because he's somehow doing pretty great at the gambling and then has to save this kid and gets pulled into a whole new world

[post-war-luke]

Wanna meet the kid and wife while you’re here?

Hermaphroditus

Hey, Hermaphroditus here! Angelia's been causing trouble so I decided to hop on here.

I hope we can be friends, dont worry, i promise I'm not like the rest of the Erotes or other gods. I am a friend to mortals, especially my demigod demi-siblings, your family to me.

And uhh....Speaking of the Erotes I, on behalf of Eros (because he is not sorry whatsoever) formally apologize to Nico Di Angelo for what Eros did. You did not deserve that.

About me:

I am the minor god and Erote of Intersex people and the son of Aphrodite (hi mama!♥️) and Hermes (dad.)

I like to paint and going to drag shows.

Please do not touch me without warning and especially not from the back. (Ooc: Referencing myth here)

Whatever Angelia says about me, a boat and the....late Luke Castellan is not true. I had NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT (Angeliaibegofyou,pleasedonttelldad)

And if anyone asks I, the Dionysus children and the rest of the Erotes have been sworn to secrecy about 'The Aphrodite and Dionysus Incident of 1872', id rather not recall that incident so dont ask about the events of that week and if you do know what happened there then no you dont. (Reference to one of main blog's wips)

All intersex people, especially children from Hermes or Aphrodite are welcome here!!!

465. Children of Peitho, goddess of persuasion, have the best and most powerful charmspeak. One would think they hate children of Aphrodite, yet they get along the best, since Aphrodite is Peitho’s mother, and hence the latter was associated with persuasion in passion and love, more so than when arguing. In our age : If one of her children set out to flirt with you, you will find them truly irresistible. 

*sidenote : Best wingmen and best at bazaars EVER. In New Rome’s university, you will find them in law schools ** The thing about sexual persuasion : they always make sure you are properly consenting before any act. Not only does it not turn them on to know they are using powers to get you in bed, but they are usually thoroughly schooled on the ethics of their powers.

Since Persephone/Maria di Angelo/Hades seems like a fun headcanon I see a lot

How about Peitho*/Hermes/May Castellan?

*Peitho is the goddess of persuasion, charming speech and seduction and sometimes said to be wife of Hermes (Dionysiaca book 25 (?))

Now Luke can have not one...not two...BUT THREEEE SHITTY PARENTS

YAY!

Percy Jackson as the Legacy of Zagreus and Peitho. [His grandmother Estelle was the daughter of Zagreus, and his grandfather James - son of Peitho].

I am extremely sorry to do this to you but can I get a few pointers and a reliable reference wiki on both Zagreus and Peitho cause I have never played the game and have only recently heard about Zagreus as a character and am now hearing of Peitho from you.

It would help me best understand the abilities and qualities I am supposed to portray in Percy as a legacy of those two.
