I have considered a small number of possibilities:
Son of Aphrodite
Son of Eros (With Explanation)
Son of Hermes
Son of Zeus
Son of Khione
Or I could make another god which would be a number:
Zeus
Hades
Poseidon
Pothos
Hermes
Apollo
Erebus/Erebos
Tartarus
Mod
I think Pothos would be the most entertaining to do out of all of them, personally.
If you want you could do one of Ker lol, as long as you explain it since I believe I put she can't have kids. That would also e disturbingly entertaining.
Mod
Mod
Thanks. I just finished Hermes I think when I get back form my weekend away with my family I will make Pothos. I feel that Ker shouldn't have children I think it would be impossible even if she could have kids. They would all kill each other and other people ending in a death sentence in prison lol.
Mod
They totally would lol. If she could have kids it'd be those horrible ones you hear on the news, where the little kid shot someone or whatever.

One of the more shadowy and elusive of the Greek mythological characters is the goddess Peitho, patron deity of the arts of Persuasion. The name Peitho in Greek means "Persuasion," which makes the goddess one of those abstract allegorical figures on the order of Tyche ("Chance") or Ate ("Discord"). Unsung in Homer and Ovid, indeed hardly mentioned in any of the standard legends or tales, she remains a mysterious background figure--like some distant and teasing mirage.
Peitho is associated with beguiling eloquence and the power of rhetoric. In a few sources, she is identified not only as a personified Persuasion, but is also associated, like her Roman equivalent Suada, with Deception and Desire.
In a few scattered literary references and on numerous Greek friezes and vases Peitho is typically depicted as an attendant in the company of Eros and Aphrodite. In the image below, for example, she sits pensively atop a column in the upper left background of a first century relief--an indirect participant in an intriguing seduction scene. Seated in the left foreground are Helen (of Fall of Troy fame) and Aphrodite; to the right stand Eros and Paris.
Aphrodite has placed her arm around the seemingly shy (or artfully coy) Helen, perhaps confiding to her young protege (as expert to talented novice) some secret insight about the joys and rigors of forbidden love. Meanwhile Eros and Paris are having their own tete-a-tete, with the winged love-god apparently offering last-minute encouragement to the daring but understandably anxious Trojan. But note: whatever Eros and Aphrodite appear to be saying to the nervous couple (on the verge of the most notorious Abduction/Elopement in all of literature), their words come ultimately from Peitho. Consider, for example, the goddess's posture of extreme concentration (much in the manner of Rodin's Le Penseur). It appears that she is not merely guiding, but actually telepathically inspiring the speeches that will shatter Helen's resistance and bolster Paris's resolve. No wonder Helen and Paris run off together. Who can withstand the combined forces of Persuasion and Love?
Peitho as Seductress
A fundamental psychological and rhetorical insight can be deduced from this scene, and it is a perception as old as the story of Troy and yet as contemporary as today's most advanced marketing techniques and advertising designs: Persuasion is strongest when in the company of desire. All persuasion, that is to say, is ultimately a form of seduction. (Or as advertising people like to say, Sex sells.)
Effective persuasion, in other words, involves either the direct satisfaction of a need or the artful manipulation (through "trigger" words, alluring images, and other verbal or graphic stimuli) of latent desires. A corollary insight to this principle is that you can't sell anything--a candidate, a product, a proposal, an idea--until you make your audience want it.
This goes to show both connections to Hermes and Aphrodite.
goddess or spirit (daimona) of persuasion, seduction and charming speech. In combination with force (bia) she also represented forceful inducement and rape (including bridal abduction).
Pietho was usually depicted as a woman with her hand lifted in persuasion or fleeing from the scene of a rape. Her attributes sometimes included a white dove and ball of binding twine.
Pietho is the only goddess known to bare a child to Eros apart form his consort Psyche. Hygeia was the goddess of good health. She was an attendant of the medicine-god Asklepios and his daughters Panakeia (All-Cure) and Iaso (Remedy), and a companion of the goddess Aphrodite.
When Zeus ordered the creation of the first woman: Pandora, Peitho and the Graces put golden necklaces around her neck, and the rich-haired Hours crowned her head with spring flowers. Peitho is also the wife of Phoroneus, and the mother of Aegialeus (by Phoroneus), Iynx/Jinx (by Pan), and Apia (by Apollo).

Will you be on tomorrow? I have all day to work on her so... that's what I'll be doing. And calling on you for backup if you're onnn xD

Basically she was ignored by Aphrodite and Ares, so she went to her real dad and hung out with him. Aphrodite was not pleased and married her off to Phoroneus. As tends to happen, he cheated on her. So Peitho divorced him, but was already pregnant at the time. Having no idea how to raise a kid, she went to Hermes for help. Which is why people think they're married.
Does that work?
Mod
Cool :3
What country is she from?
