Henry Jekyll and Victor Frankenstein are either hardcore rivals that hate each others guts and always claim their science is better than the others. OR. Henry can see this 20-something year old with issues and take him under his wing immediately.

In my last Hades ramblings, I was discussing in a broader sense how I'm hoping to see fragmenting of Melinoe's allies as Prometheus sways many of the mortals (or mortal adjacent) to his side. I mentioned Icarus very briefly in that mortal group because his dialogue in response to finding out Prometheus is their enemy is him being quite confused by that. Which I mentioned it mostly to highlight the trend of reactions from mortals basically all going "wait our favorite dude is fighting against us... huh", not because I genuinely thought Icarus would turn against Melinoe.

But I've ruminated on Icarus more, as well as got some more dialogue from him and about him in game, and found an interesting trend.

Icarus is a character on borrowed time. It comes up constantly (I recently got Circe's dialogue on it), that he's only allowed to fly freely as he does while the gates of Hades are open. Once they defeat Chronos, and everything goes back to "normal," he will be shoved back in the underworld, never to fly again.

Icarus' whole thing is that he was raised in a prison, was allowed to fly freely for a beautiful moment, before daring to fly a bit too high, and then went tumbling to his death. And then upon his death, he was constrained to a different prison. And in a more metaphorical sense, he's shackled to his shitty dad's legacy too.

Of course Icarus recognizes that if Chronos is defeated he'll be trapped again. That the skies he loves will be once more a faded memory, but chooses to fight for the gods anyway. To fight with Melinoe who he obviously cares a lot about. Which is why I never really considered him "betraying" her.

But hmm, idk. Like I said, I just got Circe's dialogue on him, so it's on the brain. But she basically goes "awww that boys so helpful. Shame he can't fly forever, but it hey, it is what it is, hehe." Just the casual acceptance of it all. And she's just one example of that sentiment. That of course he'll step back into his accepted place when this is all over, that he has to or he will suffer the consequences. Icarus has been fighting endlessly for the gods, but they don't even consider an exception or anything really. Mortals can not fly too close to the sun.

So, while Icarus has expressed otherwise, and I don't think he was lying, I do wonder if down the line, faced with the choice to follow the gods back into a prison this time he will never get to leave or soar once more in the sky he adores... which will he choose?

Oh shit I forgot to mention this about Kaos bc I thought I was imagining it (due to how absurd it is) but then I checked and it’s true:

Prometheus mentions Hestia was Zeus’s puppy who got killed by Kronos. She isn’t a goddess or his sister in this universe.

[arrgh-whatever]

so many good things are coming out in November: Arcane, Great God Grove, Over The Garden Wall special (and a handful of other things I forgot about but I feel that there's something else). it will be a good month

Prometheus Freed

Dramatis personae

PROMETHEUS - Titan of foresight bound no more

HERACLES - Son of ZEUS and PROMETHEUS’ saviour

AETOS - Eagle of ZEUS and PROMETHEUS’ tormentor

CHORUS - Oreads, nymphs of the mountains

Scene: PROMETHEUS lays bound to a cliff face somewhere in the Caucasus Mountains, arms and legs chained to the rock. A large scar marrs the side of his torso. The CHORUS hide between ridges and crags, watching his torment with morbid fascination.

In case anyone is ever confused as to WHY the Engineers we see in Covenant look different:

It's because they don't force everyone/everything to adapt to their progressive advancements in technology.

Their cities, despite looking ancient, are actually designed to be like time capsules, or marks of their history and development.

It's a cultural thing.

This is mentioned in the David 8 art book, by the way. PLEASE go buy it if you can. It's amazing.
