#ancient: helios

[ishgard]

You know, I really do like (even prefer, personally) the idea that the Scions don't have Ancient forms, but. But you see. -gestures- I am helpless.

I really love the idea of his name being Helios but when it's that close to Apollo, twin of Artemis, it's really hard not to lean that way.... still undecided. 🤔🤔🤔 Main thing is I love the idea of him having that sun-aspect compared to Nyx. 😌

Silver tetradrachm (13.48 g) of Rhodes, minted between 205 and 190 BCE (Hellenistic period). The obverse shows the sun god Helios, readily identifiable by his radiant crown. While relatively unimportant in cult elsewhere in the Greek world, Helios was the patron deity of Rhodes. According to a mythical account already found in Pindar and popular in the Hellenistic age, Helios had been absent when the Earth was portioned out among the various deities. Upon his return, he sensed that a new island was about to rise from the sea and requested it from Zeus as his portion. The reverse bears a rose, punning on the Greek name of the island, Rhodos.

Odysseus’ men need to stop killing random livestock that may or may not belong to a god/monster. Historically it doesn’t end well for them.

The fact that Hephaestus isn’t allowed to be angry or cruel or even cunning and ppl prefer to portray him as a soft boy who doesn’t think he deserves love or respect and needs the able bodied beautiful woman to assure him he deserves better is hella ableist.

How I picture Selene and Helios' if they had a conversation during the Thunder Saga in EPIC

Helios: Hey Selene? Selene: Yes? Helios: Can I tell you something? Selene: What is it Helios? Helios: The fucking mortal murder my cows Selene: ... Helios: ... Selene: Who.
