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'

I'm totally not one of those people from the server who are to blame for the existence of the second part. Totally. I could never. <3

Zeus would totally beg Hera to do the “sorry we’re late my wife was throwing a fit” trend

Aphrodite as the daughter of Zeus and Dione makes her conflict with Helen so interesting as a power imbalance between two sisters

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

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.
Tumblr media
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.
