How do I even start to explain the thought process behind me thinking that Zeus/Hera/Aphrodite is a more believable throuple then Hephaestus/Ares/Aphrodite?

[sapocipo]

You see how in both of these cases it not a well balanced throuple and more like a person being added to a couple? All I am saying is that at least Aphrodite wouldn't mind being in the cuck chair considering how many times she is just third wheeling couples (Did you know that her name is sometimes used as an innuendo? Just check Hesiod's theogony, being "joined by Aphrodite" just means having sex), plus she actually ships Zeus with Hera (Unlike how Hephaestus either hates or doesn't care about about Ares/Aphrodite)

Also they all have this quite interesting connection with marriages

I imagine they would have quite the fun dynamic where they all act like work-parents to Hymenaios lol I don't think that Hera nor Zeus would actually be open to add someone to their marriage lmao so at the end of the day the throuple would end up looking like this

Some other points to why Aphrodite/Zeus/Hera is superior to the other throuple:

Aphrodite and Hera share names

Zeus and Aphrodite were lovers in some sources

Aphrodite loves Ares who is Zeus and Hera's son (also sometimes he is just Hera's and sometimes he is just Zeus')

Aphrodite married to another one of Zeus and Hera's son (in a lot of sources Hephaestus is the son of Hera alone, and I'd say Aphrodite did love him, considering that in many sources he is the father of Eros/Cupid)

Hephaestus/Ares/Aphrodite SUCKS. Polyamory wont fix them. Stop ignoring Hephaestus lovely wife Aglaea.

Aphrodite got a funny dynamic with Hera where she will just do whatever the Queen says lol

Hera and Aphrodite share retinue

Actually there is a lot of things connecting Hera and Aphrodite...

It's funny

I hate adds that have a little sample of how their game works but when you are halfway through finishing it they send you straight to the app store like. excuse me. I was hoarding the money that pile on my back on an insanelly high tower so I can expand the store. let me finish this level of your add that so unpolitelly interrupted my gameplay of a game that I actually care about.

Peitho loves Hermes, no matter what.

Hermes is comfortable with being a man, but I do think on rare occasions when he is feeling uniquely mischievous, he changes to the shape of a woman, for his schemes. He and Peitho are the only ones who benefit when this happens.

Is there an actual source for the myth of Apollo being unable to choose between the muses so he unofficially married them all? I do really like the myth I just, can't seem to find an actual source for it. If it turns out to be an invention by some randomass scholar I'm gonna cry

[brimo5]

I'm adding this to my "where's the original source??!!" list, right after "Macaria married Thanatos", "Medusa was a priestess" and "Dionysus rescued Ariadne from the underworld."😵

The "Zeus married Aphrodite to Hephaestus to prevent the gods to cause a war over her hand" in particular really bothers me because I have no idea who even came up with that

[moonstruckdraws]

Aphrodite: “He is very dear to me.”

Anteros: “How could you hurt someone who was so dear to you?”

Aphrodite: “Maybe it’s because I thought of him so dear that it hurt so much.”

-Object: Psiché au tribunal de Vénus

I shared this work before but I am going to share again because I just found out something...

I thought that this lady next to Aphrodite was Peitho but according to the description from the British museum this is HERA!

Psyche before the tribunal of Venus: the butterfly-winged Psyche stands at left, before a carved throne upon which Juno and Aphrodite are seated; Cupid stands and mourns at right; three winged female figures hover behind the throne; before title. 1825 Lithograph

hehhehe look at em

Imagine Aphrodite venting to Ares that she couldn’t seduce his mom.

Not romantic or platonic but a secret 3rd thing (made her name my epithet)

[sapocipo]

Ik this post is about Athena and Pallas, but consider Hera and Aphrodite for a moment

What if the Olympian kids swapped powers?

The reviews of George O'Connors comics really are something else lol, why would you buy a comic featuring a goddess that you hate SO MUCH to the point of dropping two whole stars from the final review?

This other one is also crazy. The person likes both the story and art and their only complain was that Aphrodite took the spotlight... she is an Olympian this is a series about the Olympians T-T! Ofc she would have a volume for herself!

Aren't ratting supposed to judge the quality of writing and such?

Anyways, Aphrodite still my goat, haters gonna hate and if they can take away stars from the reviews just because they don't like Aphrodite then I wish I could give this comic a thousand stars to match just how much I love Aphrodite

[sapocipo]

It's funny looking at stuff on pop culture Medusa™ and finding rando claims about all sorts of gods and heroes getting involved in the middle. I swear she is not that big of a deal lol

With all the hills ‘tis Woe for Cypris and with the vales ‘tis Woe for Adonis; the rivers weep the sorrows of Aphrodite, the wells of the mountains shed tears for Adonis; the flowerets flush red for grief, and Cythera’s isle over every foothill and every glen of it sings pitifully Woe for Cytherea, the beauteous Adonis is dead, and Echo ever cries her back again, The beauteous Adonis is dead. Who would not have wept his woe over the dire tale of Cypris’ love?

-Poems of Bion, the Lament for Adonis

What about Cythera's whole atmosphere being affected by how intense amount of sorrow and grief Aphrodite is feeling? Every element of nature crying with her, mourning the death of her beloved?
