Hey, ramble to me about your Greek god rarepairs. (Please)
UHH OK SO- we have the basic one, apollomes. which is Apollo x Hermes
I honestly love seeing them together and since in Greek mythology they had funny interactions and it just kind of makes sense to me to ship them. Plus cobaltdreams on famfiction.net made 4 fics about this ship and I was in love with it. (There's also aungcha who drew apollomes and I was once again, In love with the ship.)
Aohrollomes is next, to be honest I don't even know when I started shipping them, it's such a silly ship but then when I thought more about it, it started to make sense? Since in Greek mythology Aphrodite and Hermes had an affair, plus Apollo and Aphrodite shared Adonis (the male lover of aphrodite) so they both dated him. But yeah, I love that silly ship that I totally didn't get brainwashed into liking by @skepticism105
Theres also Apolleremes which is Apollo x Eros x Hermes. Its another silly ship I just thought of because of a fic on Ao3 and a drawing of Aungcha- but if I get deeper into it, I have a little plot in my head about those three. It's like the myth of daphne where Apollo got shot with the love arrow by Eros but instead Eros and Apollo have fallen in love with Hermes, who is oblivious and freaked out by some of the messages he's getting (they are...let's say sexual, but some are nice though.) And so They both compete for Hermes' love
Theres also Apollohermesyus which is Apollo x Hermes x Dionysus. I just ship them because you coukd say those 3 are the cool guys in Greek mythology and I just like seeing them together, plus its funny in some sense
And Aphrollohermeresyus, a long ship name, i know. Its Aphrodite x Apollo x Hermes x Eros x Dionysus. I don't know where I began shipping them, but me and skeptic talked a LOT about Hermes ship, so all of a sudden I thought abt this and we started talking abt an au which was funny (If I get an ao3 acc I could finally write that au since its so silly I need to write it.)
Theres also Aphrothena which is Aphrodite x Athena, I dont know but its so funny that the goddess of love is with another god of war, you could say she has a type. This is also a silly ship I saw on tiktok and I just couldn't help but ship too but it's not that much since Athena is a virgin goddess and I like to respect that.
And now, aphroathenatemis, which is honestly just Aphrodite x Athena x Artemis, the same goes for this ship, it's silly and I like it I guess.
Artemis x Callisto, I LOVE the myth but I am also sad about it. Callisyo seemed genuinely in love with Artemis, maybe it was just admiration? But the way she died because of having Zeus' child (because he, non consensual changed into Artemis and got her pregnant afterwards.) and she couldn't be with the hunters anymore since she had lost her virginity makes me feel bad. But anyways, there's not that many posts about this ship but some fics that I enjoyed reading and started to ship this.
Hera x any of Zeus' affairs (Maia) I like to think that Hera gets revenge by just also having affairs with the women she got cheated on and Zeus just doesn't know how to react through anger. But I like to also ship her with Maia (Hermes' Mom) All that because of a fanfic on ao3 that was about why Hera spared Maia from her wrath when she usually gets angry and tries to end the women. And it's all because Maia was the only one there for her when she was going through everything (Like losing her virginity before getting married because Zeus transformed himself into a bird that was hurt. Then of course he non consensual had sex with her.) And I like how in the fic, Hera and Maia raised Hermes.
Circe x Scylla, I don't know honestly why I ship it but it's because I like enemies to lovers kind of, even if scylla didn't see Circe as an enemy of love. If you don't know the myth, Circe was in love with some mortal guy that was in love with Scylla. And what do you do when you're jealous in Greek mythology? You kill or curse someone. So Circe cursed Scylla into an ugly monster.
And I ship it because I like to think scylla was in love with circe and wanted her attention in some kind but it ended wrong.
Paris x Menelaus. HONESTLY I JUST FIND THE IDEA OF PARIS GOING FOR MENELAUS INSTEAD SO FUNNY😭 Aphrodite will be just looking at him speechless and say "Paris this was not the plan-"
Yeah I ship it because it's silly, and because of Qinny's posts which included some Paris x Menelaus (I swear if I have an ao3 acc, I will write about this ship.)
Diomedes x Odysseus, I dont know if its a rarepair since those mfs are very gay to me, and in the illiad they also were very gay, even their interactions. So yeah
Achilles x Patroclus, Idk if they are rarepair but the same goes for them🤷♀️
Alexander the great x Hephastion, not so many know about these gay fucks and I'm sad because of it. Like alexander idolized Achilles that much that he got his own lover (Hephastion = Patroclus) and they were childhood friends, no one got exiled.
There are also some epic ships I like.
Hermes x Tiresias, honestly, I dont know why everyone began shipping them (probably because of their voice actors, Mason and Troy making those videos) but I like this silly ship.
