Out of my face claims, who should I make be Calliope? I think she should be blonde, so I'm leaning towards Amanda Seyfried, but I'm not sure.
okay gang need help with my latest charrie faceclaim Son of Eros and older brother to Hedone (Sensual Pleasure) Pothos God of Longing, Yearning Desire. "The longing toward the unattainable, the ungraspable, the incomprehensible, that idealization which is attendant upon all love and which is always beyond capture." the exact opposite of Himeros who represents attainable sexual desire.
I am considering:
Francisco Lachowski
*Christen Johnson
Danny Schwarz
*Vince Sant
My tops being Vince and Christen
Mod
And Vince
Well in some myths he is Eros's brother and other's he has been a son...and in some he has been nothing close...I wanted to give him an interesting background story by going with the version of him being Eros's son.
if that is okay Haley if not I'll come up with a different story and just change things around for a different background no big ^_^ As I said before I'm highly interested in the many versions of Greek mythology and I often enjoy going with the less pronounced ones...If you want me to change it there will be no problem.
One unstable resource that most will look at to see if this fact is true is wiki.Pothos (Greek: Πόθος) was one of Aphrodite's erotes and brother to Himeros and Eros. In some versions of myth, Pothos is the son of Eros, or is portrayed as an independent aspect of him.[5] Yet others called him son of Zephyrus and Iris.[19] He was part of Aphrodite's retinue, and carried a vine, indicating a connection to wine or the god Dionysus. Pothos represents longing or yearning.[17]
Another resource:
Pothos was the son of Eros and Aphrodite, or according to another myth, the son of Zefyros and Iris. His brothers were Imeros and Anteros.
He is the embodiment of longing, sexual yearning, and lustful desire. In some myths he is actually the son of Eros himself- in the stories where he a much greater god, independent of Aphrodite.
Same as with Himeros, the two are usually bundled together when myths are referring to the Erotes. As with most of the other winged child love gods, he was present during Aphrodite's rise from the sea.
Some versions have stated all of the Erotes being children of Zephyr the west wind. Allowing msot to all being present during Aphrodite's rise form the sea.
Just to show you I'm not making it up, but as Is iad I can change it to how most view it without a problem...I just wanted you to know I'm not simply writing fiction out of mythology.
Do you think Sibylla is an okay last name for Calliope?
Can I speak honestly when I say no, Laura because the name means Prophetess; oracle. Calliope was no oracle and it sort of disturbs me mentally...sorry I didn't want to lie to you.
Oh, that's fine! Thanks for your opinion :) Any suggestions?
A number of personal choices naturally you don't have to like any of them or use them:Catullus - name of an Italian poet
Dantae - Enduring in Italian I felt it appropriate because she is muse of epic poetry.
Kalidas - Poet musician in Indian
Shaira - Poetess in African
Gerodi - Hero in Italian as in the main character of an epic
Eroina - Heroine in Italian
Epicus - Epic story in Latin
Epos - Epic Poem in Latin
The Sibyl was the oracle. Remember when Heracles stole her tripod. Good times, good times.
Is haley going to ever answer my question whether or not she wants me to change my character story. I don't want to get started on him and it to become an epic fail.
I don't think she's on right now, but I'm not sure.
Ohhh, yeah there are loads of variations of every god and goddess. People debate over Amphitrite's parentage so I'm just gonna go with the one I personally favour.
And Laura I like Dantae because the epics endured thousands of years. The Iliad is my favourite book now, and it always will be.
Hayley is busy right now so she'll reply when she's back. It might not be until tomorrow though, but I doubt it'll be that long. Maybe you could start on the basics first Jacob

That's why I would rather wait first and get a direct answer rather than get my hopes up and have them torn down.
Mod
Oh okay...well he can still be immature I mean the guy is married and in love doesn't mean he has to be mature. Believe me when I say that because I know plenty of guys with kids and a wife who are the msot immature creatures to wlak this earth.
Mod
I believe I have his wife, if you want to do something with that.
yeah I mean technically psyche would never be a goddess were it not for Eros. But god's are never in love with their consorts for long..given it is modern times why not put a modern twist they had their two kids and are looking for divorce???
That sounds good. Is that okay, Hayley?
Mod
Everyone has a crush on pretty little Apollo ;)Except for Hera, she hates everybody.
Yeah, I've always had liked Apollo and Hermes :)
Saaame, I mean, if we're going to say our absolute favourites, mine are Ares and Hades, but Apollo and Hermes would toootally get it.
Haha, same. My absolute favorites are Hermes and Athena, for sure.
Mod
Would the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares have Ares' last name or Aphrodite'?
Hayley-A dream is a wish your heart makes- wrote: "Eros- Should I keep his personality as it is or for anyone who has seen it make him more like Lucian from Kill Your Darlings."As someone who has seen it, I would throw a bit of Lucian in there - I love Lucian.
And yes, take Aphrodite's last name. I think Hera would have a literal heart attack if she took Ares' name ;P
Mod
As someone who has..."
Okay :) I do to :)
Mod
I have some claims already if you take a look at my face claims and suggest one of them...
Either Diana Agron or Rosie Tupper, I like them two for that particular muse~
Also guys, for my faceclaim for Erebus, I'm so stuck.I got
Richard Madden
