From: Artemis

I've got a question! Since there's a lot of different gods, am I supposed to treat the ones from the religion my god is from like family? And does anyone else have animals like deer or anything else at their temples?

Oh, and does anyone know how to put a blessing on objects? My shinki can't come inside the temple, and I don't think he likes sleeping in a tent too much.

What's a family tree? Is it an actual tree?

[He doesn't get it...

OH MY GOSH]

I was thinking of something fluffy, but those little guys are adorable! You think I can teach them not to kill what they hunt?

<font face-"courier"><b>No, it's a form of diagram used to trace a person's lineage. They call it a tree because, further back you go, the more it branches out, much like on a real tree. They often look like <a href="http://myexceltemplates.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/FamilyTree.jpg">this.</a> Actually, numerous family trees have already been compiled by mortal scholars, however, as you can see, <a href="https://ludios.org/greekgods/greek-tree-full.png">they get extremely complicated.</a>

<a href="http://9gag.com/gag/azENomm/the-almost-complete-greek-god-family-tree">This one</a> is one of the easier ones to follow, and contains the most prominent members of the pantheon. The line directly below Zeus contains all of our <u>divine</u> siblings, although Zeus has also spawned a large number of demigods and heroes, such as Heracles - more commonly known as Hercules, but I don't think we'll have to worry about them showing up at the Far Shore.

Absolutely, the same as with any dog. While hunting and herding instincts certainly remain, dogs are highly trainable. In fact, I have a few books on training dogs around my temple. I think they primarily contain methods for encouraging herding behaviors, as that falls under my domain, but there might be something about hunting training in there as well.

[..... That...... Zeus has a lot of kids.... and he doesn't see to believe in monogamy... note to self: Don't be like dad.

BUT SIBLINGS!!!!!]

That would be a really weird family reunion if Zeus was actually here. I think I'd call him dad just to mess with him.

I've never trained a dog before, only sheep and cows.

[It's okay, Roxas. Out of all the Greek gods, Artemis is the LEAST likely to be like dad.]

Anyone who behaved in a way that has earned them title of Zeus probably deserves to be messed with. We'll have to find all of our siblings and get them to call him dad. :)

I've never had a pet myself. I never really had an appropriate lifestyle for one, but trained dogs were relatively popular in my village. You can borrow my books though, if you like.

how do we know who's our sibling unless they tell us?

Really? That'd be great. And when I get a dog, you should come over!

We ask people what God they're here for, and then we put them on the family tree to find out.

Sure, but it sounds like you're having issues with men around your temple? I might not be allowed in, even as your brother.

That's gonna be a really big family.

Family is probably different. We can always try.
mybadhabit: (They've got a plan for us)

I can't imagine they'll all show up. It will probably be mostly just the Olympians and a few others. The primordial gods and the titans weren't really worshiped the way Olympians were.

That's true. I'm sure it won't hurt, and even if it doesn't work, I don't mind being outside. The dog will probably enjoy it more, anyway. :)
missingache: ([18] To the good old days)

Even if they were worshiped differently, they might still show up.

Dogs are all about the outside world. It's a lot more interesting than staying inside all day.
mybadhabit: (We can burn it and leave)

A fair point. We'll just have to wait and see, won't we?

I'm inclined to agree with them! I grew up out in a forest, so being outside in the trees is a much more comforting place to be in, for me.
