Fantastic Creatures of the Greco-Roman Mythology: The Chimera

Author’s note: The following article was previously published in Spanish language in my Blurt blog on September 13th, 2023. Banner elaborated with Canva; source of the image: Wikipedia. In the past post we talked about Typhon, fantastic monster who’s remembered for its legendary battle with Zeus, king of the gods, whom he defeated at first, only to be buried on Mount Etna. We also explain how…

this app is NOT prepared for all of my silly little girl thoughts

Needed some time in order to calm down my own hyperfixation, but then I knew that I needed something that will cheer me up so I drew King Neptune and his Family from my AU where The Royal King and Queen of the Ocean are going out while spending some time with their own Three Lovely Daughters.

Also, before anyone asks on where Triton is supposed to be, he's not born yet in this picture. This is mainly set in the Medieval Era where Mindy and her Sisters were born, but needless to say that I headcanon Triton being born in the Modern Era (making him the most youngest of the Family).

Character

Ares, AKA Mars, is Greco-Roman god of war, spirit of battle and courage. Second son of Zeus and Hera. Although he was disliked for his short-temper and aggressive demeanors, he is known as “father of Amazoness and Rome”. Arranged marriage with Enyo was needless to describe, toxic and dysfunctional; Enyo neglected and occasionally abused him with cruel words and physical violence. He endured for their son Enyalios to live normally, but when the abuse was revealed to Olympians Ares was encouraged by Hephaestus, Hestia, and others to divorce her. Although freed from Enyo’s abuse, he remained love-touch starved but finds comfort of blue roses sent anonymously to him. He occasionally accompanied Aphrodite whenever his brother Hephaestus was out working. While flattered that she’s attracted to him, Ares didn’t wish to betray his brother. One day, on his way home from war, he found little dove crying for its mother. Feeling sympathy, he picked it up and take it along to his home to care for it. However, he was shocked when the dove transformed back as Aphrodite. He was offended by trickery, but surprised to see petals of blue roses she rained in his house as she confessed her love to him. Realizing he himself loving her all along, the two began the love affair, but exposed to the gods by his brother Hephaestus who have heard of their affair from Helios and Apollo. Ashamed with guilt and humiliation, Ares left to Thrace. Eventually, reconciled with his brother, he learned that Aphrodite had his child and gave birth to a son named Eros.

Because of his dysfunctional first marriage, he had been touch/love starved as this lead to emotionally unstable conditions, lashing out his misery as anger when in war, causing many deities to fear or avoid him more. Unlike uncaring Zeus, Ares is no sex offender as he prioritizes consent of others. Equally loving his children and grandchildren, he would go in any level to protect them. Whenever Aphrodite shows a slight self-consciousness of her own appearance, Ares would immediately comforts her in his surprisingly bashful but genuine affections, melting the love goddess’ heart. According to many deities, Ares is the “sub/bottom” in relationship with Aphrodite.

In Fairly Odd Parents AU: Being one of the Olympian gods survived from the downfall, he resides with his wife Aphrodite. According to Eros/Cupid, Ares is described to be THRICE vindictive and jealous than Hera’s. He is also one of a very few gods Jorgen fears. It is also revealed he is “father of Amazonian Fairies”, as Amazonian fairies call him “papa”, “dad/daddy” or “father” with sheer glee when he visits them. The love god told Timmy it was Ares who taught him archery, and the godchildren can see Ares is a family man, unlike neglectful Zeus.

In Courage the Cowardly Girl AU: Along with other Greek deities, he witness his father falling for Courage Bagge, much to his annoyance and chagrin. He seemed disturbed how 2000 years of imprisonment in heaven can make Zeus forgot how to approach women. 

In Grimm Adventures of Billie & Manny AU: He is one of the Olympian gods who support Hades’ status as Greco-Roman underworld ruler. Due to casualties from war, Ares help Hermes’ part-timing in counting the dead before retrieving their soul to underworld. Taken interest in Manny’s attitude, he thought of training the blond teenager as fine soldier. Watching Manny and Billie’s interaction brought him the times he and Aphrodite spend their time together.

In Camp Lakebottom AU: He was only mentioned by Esmeraldus, the merman who reside in Lakebottom. Ares was well-known for the first Olympian god for being pardoned from murdering Poseidon’s son and yelled for women’s right. According to Aphrodite, Ares partake in protecting female victims and a feminist. 

In Disney Retelling - Heracles AU: Ares is portrayed as a main antagonist, finding Heracles’ existence as a threat as he believes he would replace his position as Olympian god as Ares is least liked by fellow gods. Hearing truth of Heracles’ birth, Ares decided to “avenge” his mother by concocting plan to get rid of Heracles. Throughout Heracles’ adventures in arc “Heracles; Year 1-12”, Ares sabotages or bring trouble in his and his friends’ lives. Ares is also a vindictive and jealous god, mercilessly making Aphrodite’s flings’ lives miserable or attempt to kill them for “defiling” his love with “their lowly seeds”. Through the journeys, Heracles confronted him as the god of war persuaded Hera to turn back on Zeus and take over Olympus. Heracles then saved his half older brother from Typhon and later, the two bothers finally make amends.

The Departure of Phaeton, stone, c. 1547, by Jean Goujon

The artist sculpted this bas-relief for the Château d’Ecouen.  It is now in the Condé Museum at the Château de Chantilly.

I’m not sure who that fellow with the bouquet of flowers on the left is supposed to be, but he keeps drawing my attention away from Phaeton.

About This Blog

Welcome to this Strange Blog (which is created by @the-indie-owl). 

I have decided to create a Greco-Roman Mythology themed based on the Nickelodeon Show (SpongeBob SquarePants) and its own Personal Takes on the Sea Gods (including both King Neptune and King Poseidon from the Films and Shows of SB respectfully). In which, this is mainly a King Poseidon/Neptune blog inspired by other Character-Fandom blogs.

In this blog, you would see and expect almost everything based on Greek/Roman Folklore with a Dash of a Silly Aquatic Show.

This is also considered to be a Polacia (PoseidonXSalacia) blog since it’s my Main Mythological-Based OTP outside of the Franchise (most notably based on the “Wife-Swap” theory of Neptune and Poseidon’s wives being switched based on Ancient Myth-Legend lore).

You are also feel free to ask some Headcanon Questions around my Ask Box (as long if its anything appropriate but I’ll mostly take some SB/Sea God questions since I have decided to move some of my headcanon asks here in this blog).

Even though I may run this blog, sometimes, I would like to note to take off a Quick Hiatus at some other time in any other day.
