Greek myth retellings

While checking on Instagram I discovered a author named Greer Nadeau is making a "queer retelling of Daphne and Apollo". Not sure what to think about it

There's a brazilian author named Michelle Castelli who made a book about Despoina, judging by the cover she will be a winter goddess

There's another author (also brazilian) called Helena Lopes making a "Queens of Olympus" series. She's preparing a book about Ares, with someone who isn't Aphrodite because this one is happily married to Hephaestus 🙄

Who is Despina ?

Despina, daughter of Poseidon and Demeter, is the goddess of mysteries, fertility, and nature.

In fact, according to my research, her association with frost and winter is very recent. Traditionally, this was not the case.

Nevertheless, I link her to this because, for me, the evolution of the perception of deities is important. Today, we connect things and assign functions to the gods that are specific to us, based on our image of divinity or what seems coherent to us.

Offering for her ✨

🪻Walking in nature. (With our animals, or alone)

🪻Immortalizing nature. (Photography, painting, writing...)

🪻Training one's menstrual cycle (for women)

🪻Celebrating life.

🪻Studying mystery cults, or those specific to a region.

🪻 Growing plants

🪻 Appreciating winter moments (if it's linked to winter)

🪻 Taking an interest in the wheel of the seasons

Song for her..

For some reason I think it would be hilarious if Persephone didn't even stay with Demeter when she's up on earth. Like she visits ONCE at the beginning of spring, the interaction is at MOST a minute and thirty seconds, and she's gone before her mother can even get a word in. Basically "Sup. I'm alive, I'm up here—like you wanted—bye". Then she spends the rest of the spring and summer at her sister Despina's place where the two of them catch up and bitch about their mother.

A character from a dnd game I ran. A young harpy girl that got adopted by the party after they rescued her from a gang. Her name is Despina and it's her first day at school.
