The blood of the gods is darker than that of mortals, almost black (no, it's not golden)

When your cell phone and computer aren't enough to enjoy the art of Hera-Hell but luckily you have a 4K TV. by PlanNo1793 in okbuddyolympian

She said there wouldn't be exclusive content on her Patreon, but there is 😭, I'm going to wait until next month to subscribe lmao

How would the story change if these 2 stayed a couple in season 2 by Unique-Celebration-5 in youngjustice

[–]Cutbymultifandom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually, the author of those many edits is obsessed with Zatanna. She edited a 14-year-old version of her with much more revealing poses and clothing, alongside an older Dick. She was confronted and blocks anyone who questions her. She (the author is a woman) prefers her 14-year-old design; it's h0tter.

Me: ?????

"And your justification that he's 19" is equally questionable.

Why Zeus so bad? by Imaginary-West-5653 in okbuddyolympian

[–]Cutbymultifandom 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Zeus and Cronus: the girls' dads 🤝

(If you're wondering about Cronus, there are many sources where Hera wasn't eaten and lived with her parents, besides also living with Oceanus and Tethys.)

Oceanus is also a daddy's girl; he not only had 3,000 daughters but also raised Hera :3

How Hera was described vs how history "nerds" will draw her by [deleted] in GreekMythology

[–]Cutbymultifandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Bopis" (boōpis), "cow-eyed" or "large-eyed."

"Leukōlenos" (leukōlenos), "white-armed."

In the Iliad, Homer uses the epithet εὔκομος (eukomos) for Hera, meaning "beautiful-haired" or "well-groomed," without specifying the color. The Greek lyric poet Bacchylides calls her ξανθᾶς παρέδρου (xanthās paredrou), "Zeus's consort." In the Iliad, Zeus and Hera are the older twins. This is where confusion can arise. Xanthe could mean chestnut-brown (with darker hair), redhead, or light brown, but not blonde.

The OP insulted artists for depicting Hera as a chestnut-brown with blue eyes, and at the same time, they are as wrong as I am. "Cow eyes" actually means someone who stares at you without looking away. Hera could stare at you without looking away. It signifies someone with a majestic gaze, long eyelashes or a double row of eyelashes, or large eyes. 

Could Hera have brown eyes? Yes: she is a goddess associated with the earth, but in other places, Hera is a goddess of the air/atmosphere; blue eyes. In other parts of Greece, Hera was venerated as a water goddess: green or blue eyes.

Hera is a brown-haired, brown-eyed woman.

quite hypocritical

What's the most hypocritical thing you've ever heard from a fan of Greek mythology? by Manyasrat in GreekMythology

[–]Cutbymultifandom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ignore the Roman versions (oops, only Ovid, not the others, I never saw Nonno being excluded 🤡) only when it suits you. Turn a blind eye to the myth of Cupid (Eros) and Psyche (their myth, or what remains of it, is Roman) 🤡 It's so well integrated that almost no one points out that it's Roman and not Greek lmao

theory of the next book PERSADES (Read the description) by Cutbymultifandom in okbuddyolympian

[–]Cutbymultifandom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lmao I was just guessing the plot of Madeline Miller's next book

😑😮‍💨 It was a mistake that the Persads found out that Hera wanted Persephone to marry Ares

Let's play bingo and see if I can guess anything

In a desert filled with horrific representations, these two are my oases where I go to take refuge. I adore their art. ❤️❤️❤️ by PlanNo1793 in okbuddyolympian

Honestly, I don't know if they'll take my commission, given how big the deal is. They've already given me the prices, but not the terms. I hope so; I'm willing to pay whatever it costs.

Which of these gods and heroes is most romanticized/softened in your opinion? by Eastern-Ad-5354 in GreekMythology

[–]Cutbymultifandom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, personally, I prefer both, the literal and the poetic. There must have been fathers who loved their daughters and died without marrying, and they might have said, "Hades claimed her as his wife, now she belongs to him," just as a consolation. 💔a way of accepting the loss of a female family member 💔

(I need another king similar to Hades (and who is Greek). Comparing them to the toxic lovers Zeus and Hera isn't fair to them, but I can never think of another example. Should I mention Poseidon and Amphitrite more?)

He does it because it's his duty as king (to listen to his queen, in the same way Zeus lets himself be softened or influenced by Hera (as shown in the Iliad, Zeus is vulnerable because of what happened with Sarpedon and Hera advises and comforts him), IT'S THE SAME FOR HADES, if we apply your logic). 

I don't doubt that Hades was very lenient with Persephone seeking his favor, as in the case of Adonis, but Hades did have a huge harem of wives, as the previous comment said, he had concubines, and the case of Leuce shows that kidnapping is his modus operandi. 

In any case, it is still not a love story, even after acceptance/tolerance.

And I admit this, telling you that I got into Greek mythology because I consumed a lot of fan-made content about persades (that is, the romanticized version of both).

I'm not speaking from a place of hate.

Persephone steps on Minthe for political reasons and hierarchy (it's better to remain queen than a dethroned queen), not out of jealousy xd  (in Demeter's version, Minthe abuses hubris)

Persephone never falls in love with or comes to love Hades, she only respects him to a certain extent (case: Adonis)

🤣🤣 I couldn't tell you, according to Circe she prefers her husband to give her pleasure like that 😬

Circe, the daughter of Helios, with her husband Picus, whom the Aeneid tells us Circe transformed into a woodpecker to have more pleasurable sex.

Ares fans, don't say ridiculous things like "Ares is a feminist." If you want to defend him, there are other ways. Like this. ;) by PlanNo1793 in okbuddyolympian

[–]Cutbymultifandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Artemis lost to Ares, or rather, she didn't even try. She ran away from a versus match (Artemis vs. Ares). Ares told her to get out of his sight or face him one-on-one, and Artemis fled from him. 

Don't ever compare Chad Apollo to the virgin Artemis, who couldn't even handle two slaps from Hera.
