more lore coming your way!! part two electric boogaloooo.

-none of the gods in any sphere celebrate or really care for the idea of birthdays, as time has no real meaning to any of them. while the concept of celebrating when one is born is foreign and odd to them, quite a lot of them vividly remember and can recall the specific moment they were born or how they at least manage to came to be.

-with that being said, a lot of them are always down to celebrate a 'birthday' in the mortal realm for whatever reason. not everyone is a party-goer, obviously. but attending events with festivities is something most don't mind doing, no matter where it is or what it's for.

-i believe i've shared this more than once before. but zeus' main kids birth order consist of the following. a mix between all the elder girls of the muses, kharites, and themis' girls. athena, ares, 'aphrodite', hephaestus, artemis/apollo, hermes, 'eileithyia', 'enyo', dionysus, persephone, hebe.

-those in bold are claimed to be and are seen/accepted as children of zeus in an upfront glance for various reasons. but in truth, they do not really come from zeus in any way, and predate him as well.

-in the case of dite, despite the siblings having a feeling and have BEEN knowing for a very long time that she is far older than them and not really a spawn of zeus. it is an unspoken rule to casually point it out, especially in front of zeus or hera. despite knowing though, they do treat her and consider her a 'sibling'.

-dite actually doesn't mind if the kids or anyone bring up her age or her origins when it's just them. it's just that they tend not to mention it out of respect to her and to preserve the sanctity and that illusion of being one of zeus' precious daughters.

-hera (along with her siblings) know too, that dite didn't really come from zeus. but it is also an unspoken rule to really mention it for her as well. so she keeps the facade of being ignorant. 'accepting' the idea she is a daughter of zeus and dione.

-ares, heph, and hebe are the only real siblings that are from zeus and hera. those three can sense their kinship, but not with their 'sisters' of elei and enyo. though they are respectful in that they'll still say they are related even though they sense something with those two.

-in fact, none of zeus' kids really buy into the idea that elei and enyo are related to ares, heph, and hebe. ESPECIALLY the three sibs themselves. but they keep a silent mistrust on this even more because hera insists elei and enyo are her children. and zeus actually THINKS they're his with hera too. in contrast to dite in whom is more obvious she's not from zeus, and everyone is aware of that, including him.

-to put it simply. dite can hang and be respected and treated as a sib by zeus' kids. but elei and enyo have a vibe of, i don't really know you like that. y'all are like strangers.

-elei doesn't really try to hide her sketchiness as she's vague about things. enyo tries to hide it, but her nature makes her seem like a troll so it's hard to tell where she comes from.
