Heaven's BBS || Text: Greek Pantheon Role Call

From: Hermes

I was planning on discussing this anyway, as I have been researching the Greek pantheon for an idea of what my followers will be expecting of me, as well as what I should be expecting of my followers, but Artemis's post has given me an idea. I really would like to pursue the idea of a family tree. I believe it would only benefit those of us in the pantheon, as a way of keeping track of each other and providing a support network, even if you don't want to believe in the family aspect. Having business connections, if nothing else, can only enable us to do our jobs better.

Or we can descend quickly into sexual chaos and violent feuding, the way the original pantheon did, my expectations are admittedly low. We are not, historically speaking, a nobly behaved bunch (Athena is especially known for being petty).

Without further ado, an INCOMPLETE family tree, done in tables until I can come up with a more efficient way of doing this, because seriously, this gets so quickly out of hand, mostly because SOMEONE (Zeus/Dad) cannot keep his dick in his pants. I have been up all night working on this. I know it's not pretty, I am not a web designer.

Primordial Gods	Gaia	Eros	Thanatos	Hypnos	Eris	Hyperion	Uranus
Olmpyian Gods	Hestia	Hades	Hera	Poseidon	Demeter	Zeus	Aphrodite
Child of Demeter				Persephone
Child of Zeus	Ares	Hephaustus	Artemis (Roxas)	Apollo	Hermes (Sonic)	Athena	Dionysus
The Muses (Also Zeus's children)	Calliope	Clio	Erato	Euterpe (Sheryl Nome)	Melpomene	Polyhymnia	Terpsichore
			Thalia	Urania
Child of Hermes and Aphrodite	Tyche	Rhodos	Peitho	Eunomia	Hermaphroditus	Abderus	Pan

There are others, but this was enough of a headache as it was, and I don't hate myself that much. Some of this may be wrong due to conflicting information (Aphrodite's parentage, for example), or because I am tired and don't care anymore. These are the primary gods and goddesses (and my children because I will need to keep track of them at some point). I already did the ones I know. Don't ask how I got pictures, please. I am a ninja, I have ways. Please comment below to be added to the... chart... if you're a part of the Greek pantheon. Please comment below if you're a part of the Greek pantheon that was not included on the chart, so I can make a place for you. You're probably one of Zeus's many other illegitimate children. If you don't know what pantheon you're a part of, please comment below, and I can find out for you.

Comment below if you feel like trolling! You're going to do it anyway, I might as well make this an open invitation event.

If you're worried about this ruining your relationships, don't worry about it. Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus, and the original Hermes still managed to have several children with her. Monogamy didn't matter much, and neither did incest. The Greek pantheon is a complete clusterfuck, as I said before.

I'm going to bed. I will deal with this in the morning, and as it pops up over the course of the day. You're all welcome.

[Sora didn't read half of what Sonic wrote because tl;dr but he finds this pretty cool.]

you guys are lucky there are so many of you. it's just me and leo over here.

this makes me wonder how many moon goddesses we have because i can list four off the top of my head and they should probably know about each other too lol

also roxas is your brother that's awesome!!!

[mybadhabit]

[Bless you, Sora, for taking this as lightly as he had meant it. Probably because you didn't read the whole thing, though he suspects no one else did either.]

You'll probably have more people soon. The Norse mythology is still very popular among the mortals. Frankly, I'm impressed we don't have a Thor, what with all the movies they apparently made about him here.

It would be interesting to see where overlaps lie, but that will have to be a chart for another time. Having this one full will give me a good start towards other research projects, I think.

He's as much my brother as he is yours :P

[oathkeeper]

...there's movies about thor? really?! [Great guess who's gonna be binge watching for the next three days.

Also here we go again about Roxas, maybe Sora should try to explain more when they meet up later.]

so... not your brother at all! ;P

[mybadhabit]

There are comic books too. He's very popular. I'm not sure how accurate they are, though.

:P Certainly not by blood or emotional connection. I'm willing to take him in, if he's as bright as you.

[oathkeeper]

wow i'm definitely going to read and watch everything he’s supposed to be my brother i think so it’ll be cool to see what they do with him in movies and comic books!

ahah i think he’d be really happy to have you as a brother, he likes stuff like that. he can have his grumpy moments but he’s one of my best friends so you better be nice to him XD

[mybadhabit]

I'll send you links to where you can download the books and movies. Loki is also featured prominently in these stories, from what I can tell, but not Baldr.

He invited me over to his temple when he gets a dog. Don't worry, I'll treat him as kindly as I do you. Perhaps less silly videos, though. That's our thing. ;P

[oathkeeper]

sonic you're too good to me :3

[He's really excited now, despite Baldr not being featured.]

...whaaaat so he really is getting a dog! i thought he was only thinking about it! i'm coming over too!

well that is if you can get in his temple, i'm the only boy that's been able to XD but there's always his yard!

[mybadhabit]

Only because you're good to me too.

He seemed pretty set on it, and we discussed possible training for it. I'm bringing him books I have at my temple.

He thinks it might be different because we're family. It won't hurt to try, anyway.

[oathkeeper]

you’re one of my most favorite people, that’s why!

i really hope that works, and I’m really glad he’s getting a dog. things have been hard on him and i don’t like him being alone. he's seriously going to be so happy to have you as a brother he couldn’t have gotten a better one

[Incoming sappy Sora.]

[mybadhabit]

I'm sure you say that to many people. [Because he can't actually imagine himself being anyone's favorite. He's not even his own favorite]

That's putting a lot of pressure on me, Sora. I'm sure there are better people out there. I barely know what I'm doing.

[oathkeeper]

hey i really mean it!

uwaa sorry i just mean its great you guys are getting along it makes me really happy because he needs that! you're a good friend sonic, he gets sick of me hanging out with him all the time haha

[Literally all the time, Sora's at his place more than he's home.]

[mybadhabit]

Forgive me if I remain skeptical. I don't doubt your intentions, but we've hardly known each other all that long.

If he's sick of having you around, maybe you should just let him have his space? Why are you do worried about him being alone? There's nothing wrong with solitude.

[oathkeeper]

i guess i get attached quickly lol

[For example, telling Neku they were friends 5 minutes after meeting him.]

ehhhh it's complicated, nevermind! forget i said anything!

[mybadhabit]

You're ridiculous.

[He's attached too. It's scary. He doesn't like it.]

Everything surrounding you teenagers sounds needlessly complicated. I'm glad I'm past that age. :P
