So I found this tibit on Aphrodite since I was thinking about Orpheus!Piper

Along with that, Aphrodite also had a lover called Adonis, who's technically the god of rebirth, so there's also that

I can't find any source for this epithet? Or of this epithet being used elsewhere for other deities? Aphrodite isn't particularly a chthonic goddess, outside of at best conflation with other goddesses who are (such as Peresephone). The closest I can find is Aphrodite's associations as a war goddess or Venus' conflation with Cloacina (Venus Cloacina) as a goddess of sewers as purification, or like Venus Libertina, where she's conflated with Libitina - a roman goddess of funerals. That's closest, really, but Libitina is also separately depicted as her own goddess.

Adonis as a god of rebirth is kind of tricky, since a lot of that is dependent on his connection to Persephone specifically. It's also somewhat debatable if he's a god of rebirth or just symbolically represents some aspect of rebirth, particularly relating to the life cycle of plants as he's strongly associated with that. Which makes sense, as he might be a translation/adoption of the god Dumuzid/Adon, who is a god of shepherds and fertility and more strongly associated with descent and return from the Underworld specifically in the creation of the seasons.

I don't think Aphrodite needs to be strongly associated with death to tie in to Piper being an analogy for Orpheus; Annabeth is meant to be Atalanta but Atalanta doesn't have much association with Athena. It's not necessary. And I definitely don't think Piper is meant to be associated with Aphrodite's darker aspects to begin with - she's pretty solidly associated with Aphrodite as a love goddess and Aphrodite Urania. The aspect of Orpheus that Piper is most associated with anyways is him as an Argonaut, which is generally far prior to Eurydice's death.

Aphrodite's associations with Adonis splitting his time between the Overworld with her and the Underworld with Persephone could potentially be interesting for the Orpheus associations in Orpheus' later aspects though.

#im pretty sure that information is ai generated so makes sense theres not really much more to find about it

My most self indulgent personal headcanon about Nico di Angelo is that he has a water allergy and also straight up melts away if he touches rivers on the living world at all

Don't ask me how I got so attached to Nico with aquagenic urticaria but somehow I did

#<- prev tags #maria and bianca had to be very alert all the time #though none of them ever felt all that beckoned by water im guessing #considering the whole family hades aspect of them

penelope didn't have to turn the tree bed into a riddle. she could have asked odysseus to prove his identity, to tell her something only he would know — which she actually did a few books earlier, when she asked the beggar to describe odysseus, and odysseus told her about a purple cloak with a particular golden brooch that she fastened herself twenty years ago. when penelope tells telemachus they have signs by which they'll know each other, you sort of expect more of the same. and instead, she decides to trap him. like a bug in a cup.

and it's delightful to me, idk, how odysseus has been trapped and cornered in various way throughout the odyssey, but arguably never so that he has to tell the truth to get out. (with the phaeacians, maybe? the omniscient narrator corroborates some of what he tells them, but do we really know everything?) and in fact he is not trying to get free of penelope. he wants something from her, wants to convince her, wants to be welcomed home, but until this point he's lied to her, revealed himself to other people before her, and been distant with her (though also patient! he doesn't try to strongarm or rush her into accepting him; it's his idea to sleep elsewhere).

except penelope isn't looking for him to be distant and patient. penelope lies in a way that requires odysseus to stop playing along — not only to prove that he knows what odysseus knows, but that he's willing to tell the truth about himself.

#and the thing is he has a scar. a physical identifier. but that one he only shows servants to prove his identity#repeatedly flashing a scar on his thigh is MORE impersonal and less revealing. to him#he must do something far more exposing and vulnerable and revealing with penelope. he must drop the act via @ilions-end
