From what I understood of a two hour mutual infodump (I received kratos: god of war lore, he received greek myths)
Kratos is god of war bc he killed Ares (and a lot of other people/gods).
In better news no one is gonna tell the gods about this fuckup of a post bc you’ve assigned Hermes to a comedy club instead of his usual messages lol
this website’s easy watch. *dangles a bunch of greek gods like keys*
#i will put rest of ramble in notes bc you’ve probably already got 10 versions of it#but I love mythology and you did dangle greek gods in front of us like keys#ok starting with homer and did he exist#nobody knows who or how many people homer was ‘homer’ is the name given to the guy(s) who wrote the iliad and odyssey down#in like the 7th century bc ish#bc for the previous few centuries we forgot how to write so those poems had been memorised and passed down orally#my personal favourite theory about ‘homer’ is that the epic poems were in fact written by a group of storytellers#who got together and used their combined knowledge/versions to create the most cohesive version#but yeah we know fuck all#odysseus was also not a god he was a greek hero#he features in both the illiad and (obviously) the odyssey i could talk about him a lot more but gonna move on#pluto/hades are both god of the underworld and the same guy#it’s just that the romans badly copy pasted the greek gods to get their own pantheon hence new name#Hephaestus in indeed a god of fire and of metalwork and the forge#he does live inside a big fuck off volcano which is occasionally thought to be mt etna#hermes: messenger god and also of travellers and thieves#had lots of little statues called herms to help direct travelled and most of the statues had phallueses on#hermes actually bears more similarity to thor’s dad (odin) than zeus does#(hermes and odin both like lying a lot lol as does odysseus for that matter)#zeus is indeed god of the sky in general and his favourite weapon is lightning#he is also king of the gods his most well known brothers are posidon and hades and his wife is hera (goddess of marrige and also his sister)#and yeah not nordic that’s odin#poseidon is spot on and fun fact he’s also god of horses bc why the fuck not i guess#already covered hephaestus#aphrodite is yeah goddesses of love and beauty so da hot one sums it up well#ares and athena are the main war gods#ares more of the bloody vicious side and athena more of the actual tactics and how to win#hades does rule the underworld (aka hades realm aka hades)#ok last tag apollo started as god of plague and then medicine and then archery and prophecy and yk what fuck it he’s god of the sun too#kratos apparently is a god but of strength not war
