Blood follow’d, but immortal; ichor pure, Such as the blest inhabitants of heav’n May bleed, nectareous; for the Gods eat not
Ichor is the ethereal golden fluid that is the blood of the gods and/or immortals, said to retain the qualities of the immortal’s food and drink, ambrosia or nectar. Golden in color and lethally toxic to mortals. Great demigods and heroes occasionally attacked gods and released ichor.
