Welcome to Gaia! ::

I don't think she was really important in fighting, Hestia. She was a peaceful goddess. If anything, I'd see her cooking and tending the hearth, not out fighting the Titan War.

I could see Demeter fighting, but it would be rare. Demeter was one of the goddesses known for their tempers. Maybe she fought during the war alongside Poseidon.

I just realized something through my reading. How much children did Zeus stir during the Titan War? I do remember hearing Ares and Athena participating, but I could be wrong.

Athena and Ares against one another, you mean. They are essentially martial deities with distinctly opposing idealogies, and thus they fit together like yin and yang.



Demeter was a very violent and vengeful goddess, actually. One of her epithets is Erinys, the Unstoppable, and she is often depicted riding a war chariot. But there is little evidence to suggest that the female Kronides actually fought in the Titanomakhia. Hera was definitely sent to be fostered by Tethys and Okeanos (the only Titan who remained neutral in the war), but it's uncertain whether she was sent away before or after the war.

How many children of Zeus fought in the war? None. Zeus himself was still a youth (and the youngest of all gods) at the start of the ten year war. His only consort at the time was the Oceanid Metis, and he was already the victorious king by the time Metis begot his first child, Athena. He had seven other lovers before finally seducing Hera and taking her to Olympos as his queen.

Professor Akherontis:I recalled how Athena and Ares are polar opposites, as well as Step-siblings + half-siblings, from Zeus' first marriage with Metis.
Correct me if i am wrong or half-right, though.

Lady Moneta: It would completely make sense to imagine Demeter unleashing what would be fatal blows with her powers, especially during the Titan War, as clearly Hera could not have been the only Goddess among the children of Kronos who was a badass at the time, right?
Demeter clearly was a massive badass, too! cool

I wonder if the main reason for Hera gritting her teeth on Persephone was more because Demeter was her sister, or its some other reason going on, because i recalled that Hera likes Athena as a step-daughter, and i also recalled that Hera doesn't always go after demigod children sired by Zeus[that's not to say that she didn't try to kill Hercules and Prince Dionysus, but their other demigod half-siblings that she may have placed in harm's way appeared to be more like collateral damage and means to an end than outright targets, themselves!]

So beauty could have been the main factor as to why Hera didn't hound Persephone, then.

You know which avis I want to see? Phobos and Deimos. Fear and Terror.

And here's my interpretation of Demeter. I've given her golden hair, which is uncharacteristic of her siblings but seems to be consistent with mythical accounts.
