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

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.

Okay, I think I figured out your problem. Maybe just say sorry and let it go.

[mybadhabit]

...that's all?

[But Axel, how is he supposed to do that? He doesn't know how to let things go!]

[doestheickyjobs]

That's all.

Skip the cheese basket. Cheese baskets are weird.

[mybadhabit]

Are you sure? That seems wrong. How do I know if it worked if I don't check in on him?

[doestheickyjobs]

You're really bad at this, aren't you?

[Not that Axel has any right to lecture other people on being bad at social graces, but you know what, this one he's got.]

You know it works because he doesn't bite your head off next time you talk. With stuff like this you've gotta give people time to cool off.

[mybadhabit]

U_U People are not my forte. I've spent too long killing them to have much experience with conflict management.

I don't think that's going to work, though. He's not required to accept my apology, and I think it will take more than giving him time to cool down for him to see that I meant to harm.

[doestheickyjobs]

The point is, pissing him off isn't going to make him accept it any faster.

Why's it such a big deal if he accepts it or not, anyway?

[mybadhabit]

I don't know. Is spite an acceptable answer?

[doestheickyjobs]

You want to make him forgive you out of spite?

Seriously, what the hell. That's just weird.

[mybadhabit]

I do a lot of things out of spite. Making him like me has become something of a challenge, and I hate simply giving up without a fight.

[doestheickyjobs]

You're one weird guy, Hermes.

[mybadhabit]

So I've been told. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
