#I have a whole bunch of design notes but idk if y'all wanna hear them because I swear to god all I do is ramble in my posts nowadays

[literallyjusttoa]

I have another one of these in the works, but it's taking FOREVER to finish so I'm just going to post this one.

Here's Apollo's family tree on his mother's side! We always talk about the Olympians, so I thought it would be interesting to look in the other half of the family. Here is everyone listed from top to bottom, left to right.

Coios: Titan of Intellect, and overseer of Heavenly Prophecy.

Phoibe: Titaness of Intellect, and overseer of Earthly Prophecy.

Perses: Titan of Destruction.

Asteria: Titaness of Shooting Stars and Nighttime Divination.

Lelantos: Titan of Air and moving unseen.

Leto: Titaness of Motherhood and Demureness.

Zeus: God of Storms, Justice, and King of Olympus.

Hekate: Goddess of Witchcraft, Magic, and Ghosts

Aura: Goddess of the Breeze and hunting partner of Artemis.

Apollo: God of the Sun, Music, Poetry, etc.

Artemis: Goddess of the Moon, the Hunt, and Archery.

Extra note: While researching to make sure I got this right, I found this little note that makes me giggle and kick my feet bc I have so many ideas surrounding it. LIke maybe a fic I don't know maybe probably that could be it but idk hahahahaha.

Clearly Coios functioned as the prophetic voice of his father Heaven, just as Phoibe was the prophetic voice of her mother Earth. Like Delphoi, navel of the earth, the axis of heaven was also guarded by a Drakon: the constellation Draco.

His grandson, Apollon the god of prophecy and light, divided his time between Delphoi, the shrine at the centre of earth previously held by Coios' wife Phoibe, and--during the winter months--Hyperborea, the land beneath the axis of heaven in the far north, represented by his grandfather Coios.

We never even touched heavenly prophecy in ToA. I wonder what that's all about hmmmmm???
