(follow me on spotify for more!)

persephone - queen of the underworld, goddess of spring

artemis - goddess of the hunt, the virgin moon goddess

aphrodite - goddess of love and beauty

poseidon - god of the seas

zeus - king of the gods, god of the skies

hephaestus - god of fire

hades - king of the dead, god of the underworld

hestia - goddess of the home and hearth

athena - goddess of wisdom

hera - queen of the gods, goddess of marriage and fertility

apollo - god of music and poetry, patron of the arts, chaser of the sun

demeter - goddess of the harvest

ares - god of war

hermes - the messenger god, patron of thieves

dionysus - god of wine and ritual madness

*bonus*

her lips tasted like pomegranates - if hades and persephone slowly falling into love with each other was an angsty indie movie this would be the soundtrack

maybe they loved each other once - are we even worth saving? (zeus + hera)

you’re like me - i thought i hated you, but i think it was because i saw myself in you. hating you is all i know how to do, even if i’ve been loving you this whole time. (athena + poseidon)

icarus - you never did know anything in moderation

storm goddess - you tremble before her, but its nothing compared to the way the earth trembles at her word.

glory. - the glory of gods never was meant for men

figuresinthevoid:

The Water(house)’s creatures

Paintings (and details) made by the English Pre-Raphaelite painter John William Waterhouse (1849-1917). This artist was fascinated by the figure of the woman in Greek mythology and Arthurian legends. In addition, he will resume the analogy between the archetype of “feminity” and the water: calm and quiet (like a pond), mysterious (like an ocean or a troubled and shady water), or even dangerous (with storms, waves).

(In order: Circe Invidiosa, 1892; The Lady of Shalott, 1888; Ulysses and the Sirens, 1891; Miranda - The Tempest, 1916; Nymphs Finding the Head of Orpheus, 1900; A Mermaid, 1900; Echo and Narcissus, 1903; A Naiad or Hylas with a Nymph, 1893; Hylas and the Nymphs, 1896)

I CAN’T SAY SHIT ABOUT SHIT RIGHT NOW EXCEPT THAT IT MIGHT BE TIME FOR YOU TO GET FUCKING EXCITED

DON’T TALK TO ME. DON’T TOUCH ME. DON’T LOOK AT ME. IT’S FREAKING HAPPENING, PEOPLE!!!

You touch on this a bit in DoL and The Last Seed, but I was wondering, in your telling, are the Olympian Gods/Goddesses serving the whole human population or just the anient Greek population? I know it is mentioned about the Persephone/Ereshkigal and Aphro

Spoilers, sweetie.
