If Zeus is everyone’s father…

Ares is everyone’s grandpa, cause wth, why does he appear in everyone’s family tree?

Dionysus, Asclepius, Heracles, Helen, Clytemenestra, The Dioscuroi (these last ones are siblings so idk), uuuh… Menelaus & Agammemnon, Acteon ( @artemiz0npawz Aktaion mentioned, pookie), and probably ETC.

Or perhaps I’m just obsessed with him and his genealogy, that could also be

Sapphire 💙

As it is with a lot of my art now, i started this 2 months ago and finished it recently lol😭 anyway meet Sapphire, her lore is that she’s one of Tony’s buddies/juniors from AEON (the company he works at). Through their dad, she becomes acquainted with Silkver and Soni, and sort of has a big sister relationship with Silkver. Also she has fire powers yay 🔥🎆

Tony knows 4 ppl rlly well at AEON and Sapphire is just one of them, the other 3 have names but no designs yet. Either i’ll come up with designs for them soon or i’ll have someone else design them for me,,,

GET EM PERSEUS

(i put the greek text cuz i feel super out of my depth and i dont speak it pls correct me if I'm wrong) Ὁ Δείναρχος ποιητὴς οὐκ ἄσημος ὢν τὰς Διονύσου πράξεις ἀφηγούμενος, ὅσα τε αὐτῷ πεπόνηται, καὶ μὴν καὶ Ἀκταίονα καὶ Λυκοῦργον ὅπως εἴη πεφονευκὼς, εὖ μάλα διειρηκὼς ἀνῃρῆσθαι καὶ αὐτὸν ὑπὸ Περσέως καὶ κεκηδεῦσθαι παρὰ τὸν χρυσοῦν Ἀπόλλωνα. -Cf. Cyrill. C. Jul. X, 341:

"Dinarchus the poet, being not obscure, recounting the deeds of Dionysus, [recounts] as many things as have been suffered by him, and indeed also [recounts] Actaeon and Lycurgus—how they were killed—having clearly spoken that he also was slain by Perseus and was buried beside the golden Apollo" Well, I don't think Dincharchus (of Delos) was killed by perseus, so I'm pretty sure this is the earliest source of Perseus killing Dionysus if the 5th-century mfs are correctly citing the Hellenistic period dude. Real possibility of this being a genuinely old myth and not some random shit johnnny appleseed or whatever made up.

Some other stuff about Apollo and Dionysus sharing Delphi and Bacchus having a tomb, but tbh it doesn't include Perseus, so I don't care.

[alexanderthejustalright]

mythology characters who definitely did nothing wrong and I would defend with me life.

Hector of Troy- literally just doing his job. Yeah he killed Patroclus but in his defense he was a just doing what soldiers/generals do.

Amphinomus- nicest and most polite of Penelope’s suitors. He convinced the other 107 suitors not to kill Telemachus and was told to leave by Odysseus but Athena wanted them all dead.

Medea- yeah she killed her family,children and others but it was all for a good reason and we love killer women.

(in some versions)Acteon- guy was just trying to hunt but unfortunately Artemis was bathing and in every story gets eaten by his dogs

[less-ismore]

Antonio Tempesta, Actaeon killed by his own dogs (Actaeon a proprÿs canibus discerpitur), from Ovid's 'Metamorphoses', 1606.

The hunter who became the hunted too.
