Akherontis Mnemosyne Moneta Rosy fingered dawn is with the god of healing that was killed... Asklepios was apotheosized after his death, just like Herakles. He became the god Paion, physician of Olympos. He married the goddess of soothing, Epione (Presumably an Okeanid), and his children include Hygeia (Hygiene), Panakeia (Cures), Iaso (Remedies) and Aegle (Flush of Health). I would sort of want her next to Astraios, as he is her husband. But, Ariadne isn't up there either, and Herakles and He-be are in different spots, too. He-be with Ganymede because they are the servers of the Olympians, pouring nectar and re-filling glasses

If I let my desire for completion control me, then I'd be spending all my time working on the literally hundreds of obscure gods in the Greek Mythos. Herse, for instance, the goddess of dew, daughter of Selene and Zeus. Or Aristaios, god of honey and beekeeping, son of Apollon and Kyrene. There are far too many.

Mnemosyne Moneta Akherontis Speaking of which, here's an avatar of Persephone as Kore, Goddess of Spring Renewal.  She looks rather innocent, really. Poor Kore. So, which deity are you going to do next? I would like to see Dionysus or maybe Ares, personally. I just want the gods to get done so the Titans come around. I'm obsessed. And Javier, Hades didn't really seek it. Zeus sort of told him to capture Persephone. I don't have all the facts, but I think that Apollo and another god wanted her hand in marriage. Well, Metis was extremely wise, supposedly the reason why Zeus is, too, as he swallowed her. Metis was the Titaness of wisdom, advise, craftiness, much like her daughter Athena. She was a rather smart woman, and I would think that my niece would respect my other niece. I too would wish to see some for Princes Ares and Dionysus, at some point. So even her half-brother[whose case was an illegitimate child by birth, either way!] wanted Persephone's hand in marriage, too. Interesting note. I wonder if Metis is watching over Athena, right now? Her fate beyond getting swallowed didn't seem at all cleared up, to me, other than somehow giving birth to Zeus' brain-child. I hope Hera remembers to do that, and its a good thing that Athena and Persephone may be on decent terms with one another. *bows down to the Queen*

Akherontis Mnemosyne Moneta Akherontis Mnemosyne Moneta Akherontis Mnemosyne Moneta Oh, I wanted to ask you something. Was there a messenger of the Titans? Someone's been telling me that, so I'd just want to know. Iris was the daughter of Thaumas and Elektra, the deities of sea-wonders. The other Thaumantiades were the two storm goddesses known as the Harpyiai (variously called Aello, Okypete, Kelaino or Podarge), and the two rainbow goddesses, Iris and Arke. Iris fought for Zeus in the war, but Arke served the Titans. When the Olympians were victorious, Arke's wings were torn off and she was thrown into Tartaros. Thetis and Hephaistos later incorporated the wings into Akhilles' greaves, hence his epithet 'Podarkes' the swift-footed. Ouch. Atlas' fate was worse. Vengeance was sacred in the old days. Our modern ethical beliefs are very soft, and so mythical justice may seem jarringly disproportionate to a contemporary reader. Holding up the sky for eternity. Though, weren't their pillars do to that, though? Like the pillars of the north, east, west, south? Where the real Titans attacked once their father tried to lay with Gaia? The pillars (or walls, or towers, or whatever they may be) of the north, east and south still stand, but Atlas is the western pillar, inherited from his father Iapetos. He stands on the isle of the Hesperides at the western horizon of the world. Appropriate, given Hesperia is his wife and the Hesperides his daughters. It must have hurt like Tartarus, if i had to make a guess.

Akherontis, two things.
Would you consider having your own Ask Akh thread, for obscure questions?
Next, did any of Zeus' lovers end up happily?

For the second question, Your highness, i recalled Perseus' mum and Helen's raped[at least once!] mum having happy endings[At least Leda may have had, in some versions of her tale!] but the rest felt debatable, at best. I just hope that Hera didn't try to hound Leda the way she hounded the mums of most of Helen's half-siblings.

Plenty of Zeus' lovers had relatively happy endings. Alkmene even got revenge on Eurystheus, who had antagonized her son Herakles for most of his life. Hyllas (one of the Herakleidai) killed the jerkass king and brought his head to Alkmene, who gouged out his eyes with pins. XD Plus there's Io, who became a priestess of Isis in Aigyptos, and there's Leto, who remained a goddess of Olympos. As for making my own thread, I have some plans, but I'm too busy at the moment.

I don't have a choice in the matter, actually. But it is true that I have to be doing something with my time, preferably something creative. Right now I'm working on a photoshop portrait of Thanatos, playing around with the drawing tablet I've had for half a year and never used.

Also, Mnemosyne, Themis, and Metis(okay, she was swallowed, but it could have been worse,) were also not killed by Hera and had relatively happy endings.

Very nice, although it looks more like Triton than Poseidon (who never had a fish tail).

At least most of them got the endings they deserve[Metis is debatable, but the other immortals listed by Professor Moneta who mothered Zeus' children gotten a decent ending, at least, right?]

Can't wait to see it, considering I haven't seen him, in well . . . let's see, ever.

Akherontis Very nice, although it looks more like Triton than Poseidon (who never had a fish tail). Well I was kind of going by the Percy Jackson description in the last book when Percy sees his dad (Poseidon) underwater. In that description he has a tail and Triton has 2. Though in that description Poseidon looks very old for his castle is being destroyed and he's in the middle of war but I made him seem younger. But, anyways thank you for the compliment and constructive criticism.
