someone should write a helen/menelaus oneshot of menelaus dissociating after he finds out paris and helen have had a daughter together
#i love this but i also think it would bring him a weird sense of relief#because it means helen HAS a reason why she stays for troy#because her daughter is half trojan and this is her home#of course it doesnt negate the jealousy he’d feel over helen *abandoning* their family to start a new one#or the sinking feeling of losing the title of helen’s husband and father of helen’s daughter#but i think it would motivate him continue the war to reach helen to ask her if its true#(and imagine the tragedy if helen of troy was a child conceived by rape. helen did NOT ask for that!)#also unrelated but yes hector having a respect for menelaus >#menelaus#helen of sparta#helen of troy#hermione of sparta

I've seen many people say that the name of the mother of Megapenthes is unknown, but one of her possible names (as the specific one isn't consistent) is Pieris, so to anyone who love angst and a complex Menelaos x Helene relationship especially regarding the Paris matter, don't forget to use Pieris, and please, I need fanarts of her, the fact she's a Aitolian is interesting as it mean she's likely not a war prize like Briseis and co'
#either pieris or tereis!#tereis ccording to Acusilaus#pieris according to an account by Apollodorus#menelaus#megapenthes

Zeus would totally beg Hera to do the “sorry we’re late my wife was throwing a fit” trend
#zeus would be on his KNEES. just to see her demolish everyone else else#zeus heraios#hera#zeus#zeus x hera#greek mythology

Aphrodite as the daughter of Zeus and Dione makes her conflict with Helen so interesting as a power imbalance between two sisters
#i see the appeal but they’re just not toxic yuri to me#aphrodite is giving big godly sister who WILL get her way even at helen’s expense#especially when you read about all she does to keep helen in line#helen of sparta#aphrodite#greek mythology

Other Ancient Greek Writers: there’s no way you can make Leto and Hera like each other at ALL. They hate each other!
Plutarch: Hold my beer





“Hera is the earth, Leto is night and oblivion” —Mikolaj Domaradzki
#i imagine plutarch writing this with leto as zeus’ ex wife because it then it makes sense for cithaeron to be like oh zeus is with leto rn#plutarch: no you dont get it they’re twins they’re cool hera likes leto and honors her even#plutarch: even their kids are twinning!#i am fond of what he was going for here#them being friends in one universe is nice ❤️🩹 probably had something like hera-themis have in the iliad#hera#leto#greek mythology#plutarch#earth and moon besties#there’s a possible allegory with zeus being the sun but this aint about him for now

Helen arriving in Sparta
This is Hermione, Helen's daughter, welcoming her mother back. In my version when Helen eloped Hermione was around 6-7 so she kiiind of remembers her and her elopement.
Now, about Helen leaving : I imagine she did have feelings for Paris but she wouldn't leave with him if it wasn't for aphrodite's emotional manipulation. Hermione didn't know about Aphrodites involvement and in her eyes her mother abandoned her and she was the reason her father left too. So I imagine her relationship with her dad is much better and when Helen is back she's very cold and stern with her.
The designs and hcs are heavily inspired by @kashuan and @chotomy
Helen's design is also : here
@godsofhumanity should I tag you in Iliad stuff too? 👀

Hi! I love your work! Are you able to draw Eileithyia? I just feel she is underloved and grossly underrated.
Long time no see! I hope you're all doing well ♥ This was a nice opportunity to update her design once more : )
Eileithyia, goddess of childbirth and labor pains. Daughter of Zeus and Hera.

A scene of sacrifice. Heracles, readily identifiable by his lionskin and quiver, roasts meat on two spits. A tail rises from the flames; it has been suggested by the scholar Milette Gaifman that this indicates the gods have accepted the sacrifice. A dog rests beneath.
The mythological import of this scene is vigorously disputed among scholars. Some (e.g. G.F. Pinney and B.S. Ridgway) identify the dog as Cerberus and interpret the scene as Heracles returning from his final labor, in which he retrieved Cerberus from Hades. Others, pointing to Side B of the vase, which depicts Helios, Eos (Dawn), and Nyx (Night), prefer to read the scene as Heracles's journey to the western extremity of the Earth to slay Geryon and steal his cattle. It is also possible, as Gaifman points out, that the scene represents an otherwise unknown myth concerning the hero.
Attic black-figure lekythos (perfume container), attributed to the Sappho Painter; ca. 500 BCE (late Archaic period). Now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, USA. Photo credit: Metropolitan Museum of Art.
