Genuine question but why does Zeus get called a girldad when it's only Athena & Artemis who receive the same love from Zeus that most of his sons do?

Do you see Zeus giving a fuck about Dike, Eirene, Eunomia, Atropos, Lachesis, Clotho, Persephone (in a fatherly way), Eileithyia, Hebe, Thalia (of the graces), Euphrosyne, Aglaia, Calliope, Clio, Polyhymnia, Euterpe, Terpsichore, Erato, Melpomene, Thalia (of the muses), Urania, Britomartis, Pandia, Ersa, Melinoe, Ate, or Helen

...the way he gives a fuck about Apollo, Hermes, Dionysus, Heracles, or Pollux?

Even several of his mortal sons like Arcas, Aeacus, Minos, Rhadamanthys, & Sarpedon get more love from him than nearly all his godly daughters besides Athena & Artemis. (Heck! Even Tantalus was loved before he pulled that shit!)

He seems more like a boydad to me.

In honour of the playtest of Hades 2 an Ate I did in the style of the game!

"(She) that blindeth all—a power fraught with bane; delicate are her feet, for it is not upon the ground that she fareth, but she walketh over the heads of men, bringing men to harm, and this one or that she ensnareth."

In the Argonautica, Hera says that "even the gods are sometimes visited by Ate".

Ate is the greek goddess of mischief, delusion, ruin, and blind folly, rash action and reckless impulse who led men down the path of ruin. She was considered the personification of ruin. According to Hesiod (Theog. 230), a daughter of Eris, and according to Homer (Il. xix. 91) of Zeus.

I personally made her like Eris, and like her grandmother Nyx, with soooome details of Zeus.

Ate appears in a story in the Iliad, where it is told how she came to be thrown out of Olympus, and never permitted to return. Zeus held Ate to blame for blinding him to Hera's trickery which resulted in the loss of the birthright Zeus intended for his son Heracles: to be lord over the Argives. As punishment, an enraged Zeus:

"seized Ate by her bright-tressed head, wroth in his soul, and sware a mighty oath that never again unto Olympus and the starry heaven should Ate come, she that blindeth all. So said he, and whirling her in his hand flung her from the starry heaven, and quickly she came to the tilled fields of men. At thought of her would he ever groan, whenso he beheld his dear son in unseemly travail beneath Eurystheus' tasks."

Homer, Iliad 9. 498 ff :

"The very immortals can be moved; their virtue and honour and strength are greater than ours are, and yet with sacrifices and offerings for endearment, with libations and with savour men turn back even the immortals in supplication, when any man does wrong and transgresses. For there are also the Litai (Litae, Prayers), the daughters of great Zeus, and they are lame of their feet, and wrinkled, and cast their eyes sidelong, who toil on their way left far behind by the spirit of Ruin (Ate): but she, Ate (Ruin), is strong and sound on her feet, and therefore far outruns all Litai (Prayers), and wins into every country to force men astray; and the Litai (Prayers) follow as healers after her. If a man venerates these daughters of Zeus as they draw near, such a man they bring great advantage, and hear his entreaty; but if a man shall deny them, and stubbornly with a harsh word refuse, they go to Zeus, son of Kronos, in supplication that Ate (Ruin) may over take this man, that he be hurt, and punished."

Darling may I request a sketch of the goddess Atë? Your art is simply magical. If your art was song you’d long have brought sailers to their doom simply by hearing the magic of your voice or more accurately it would be, by seeing the magic of your art

took i while but I TRIED ANON!!

since Ate is a goddess i dont know to much about, i tried to go creative here lmao

decided to go with a more childish look since she is the personification of mischief and all

I hope you like it anon!!!!!! AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE KIND WORDS THAT MADE ME SO HAPPY!!!!

[sarafangirlart]

Atě did that shit but she didn’t deserve to be dragged by her hair by her own father and banished from her home I feel so bad for her.

[sapocipo]

Peitho as Ate's child is everything to me... Curious how she is described with male pronouns here

[sarafangirlart]

Reading the Iliad and these two pages stuck out to me, first off fuck Agamemnon calling Hera a mere woman/female, I don’t know what Hera sees in him, I can get why she cared for Achilles but not Agamemnon.

Second, it’s so gross how Zeus boasts the fact that the woman he raped is about to give birth to his child, idk if it’s just the translation but it really seems that Alcmene is an afterthought in this whole situation, like idk Zeus is just chilling on Mount Olympus while the mother of his child is in the mortal world and he doesn’t even like… visit her? Comfort her? Idk this whole sit is bad from top to bottom (Also fuck Zeus). Hera is no better either, she didn’t need to delay Heracles birth after Eurystheus was born, she really wanted that poor woman dead.

Also Zeus using his children for power is also another yikes, a lot of ppl don’t realize that he doesn’t have sex with women just bc he’s horny and that a child is just an oopsie, he’s intentionally having children to use them to exert his power (and to exert his power over women and their bodily autonomy. Notice how Hera brings up that Eurystheus was still descended from Zeus?

Now we get to Ate (who’s named Delusion here for some reason) being thrown off Olympus and I feel so bad for her, she’s literally doing her job yet her father banishes her, at least with Hephaestus they seemingly came to good terms and he got to return to Olympus but not Ate. Like ppl go on and on about how abuse Zeus is to Ares when the way he treats Ate is everything ppl thing his relationship with Ares is like.
