Echo's Extensive List Of Greek Mythology Headcanons

Echo's Extensive List of Greek Mythology Headcanons

Hermes and Iris race for fun in their free time (Hermes beats Iris but only because she lets him keep his magical shoes on)

Ares goes into full on protective older brother mode when someone makes fun of Hephaestos except when it's Aphrodite

Aphrodite and Eros scheme together over who should be the next OTP

Hera is a really sweet stepmom to her godly stepchildren after she gets over her initial grudge (that ones not 100% untrue, she's mostly pretty nice to them after she's gotten through her murdering phase, given the child survives that phase)

Ariadne got the ability to create powerful illusions and confusions in people heads after she married Dionysus (being the wife of the god of madness i think might give you that quirk also it fits the labyrinth)

Nyx scares the underworld out of everyone except her children and Selene who comes over for a drink every now and then (also not entirely unbased at some point she scares zeus away when he's after her kid Hypnos (mother of the year) Selene literally never interacts with her but i can imagine them gossiping like 40 y/o wine mums for some reason)

Thanatos is really touched by the people he has to take to the afterlife, when its a child he carries it in his arms or takes them by the hand the entire way into the underworld

Charon hums while he crosses Styx to cheer up the souls (it comes of as horribly creepy but he's trying his best you guys)

Whenever Persephone is in the underworld the place is full of colourful flowers cuz she thinks asphodels are too bland by themselves

Demeter keeps a collection of all the plants that used to be people until they were cursed/transformed to passive-agressivly assert dominance

Athena takes her owl everywhere she goes, unfortunately it's not very fond of mortals, Odysseus is freaking terrified of that bird

The nine muses have to approve and critique every piece of music Apollo writes, there usually isn't anything to critique but he still really values their opinion

Artemis constantly makes fun of her brother for being love sick but she keeps a box full of sweet dates under her place at the banquet table in case she needs to cheer him up

Artemis takes in girls that are survivors of abuse or assault and helps them get revenge on the pderson that wronged them even if they aren't virgins anymore

Apollo and Artemis constantly annoyed Helios and Selene when they were little like: Uncle Helios can i ride in the chariot with you? Dad said you have to let me come with you! Please, just for a little bit, I'm not gonna set anything on fire again, I promise!

Hestia is extremely gentle and soft spoken yet nobody dares to talk back to her or interrupt her (once again kinda plausible since she's the oldest, also both Apollo and Poseidon proposed marriage to her which she politely declined, there's zero consequences for that which is odd seeing how Apollo and Poseidon usually react to rejection)

Feel free to add your own lol

I know these are mostly completely unbased but I've been reading Greek mythology since I was like 4 and this is just what I imagined these characters would be like

Also! There's some lesser known gods on here so to clear up some confusion

Iris: Goddess of rainbows and messenger of the gods together with Hermes

Eros: God of love, Aphrodite's son

Ariadne: Dionysus' wife, helped Theseus beat the minotaur by helping him out of the labyrinth

Nyx: Goddess of the night

Thanatos: God of death (not the dead, that's Hades), son of Nyx

Charon: The ferryman that carries the dead on his ship over the underworld river styx

Hypnos: God of sleep, son of Nyx

Selene: Goddess of the moon, until later mythology where she was often merged with Artemis

Helios: God of the sun, until later mythology were he was often merged with Apollo

Have a great day💕

A dating guide through greek mythology

All tips and tricks from the notes of Eros himself, written in 3500bc, trust me this is totally legitimate dont worry :)))

Zeus: Prepare yourself mentally for death and/or banishment, animal forms, neverending torture and taunting

Poseidon: Will date you anyways if you want it or not, has no jealous wife, but dont mess with his horses he can understand them

Aphrodite: Will murder you if you criticise her looks, also, at least one or two of her jealous boyfriends WILL try to end your life

Ares: Actually treats the people he loves with human dignity and kindness, bonus points if youre badass, might smell like blood after work

Demeter: Nice woman, hasnt murdered any of the people she dated herself yet, do however not step on ladybugs

Hermes: If you die he probably isnt responsible, has 3 jobs, 24/7 delivering messages, dead people and dreams, busy guy, gotta deal with that

Apollo: Is desperate enough to willingly date literally anyone that looks at him for more than 3 seconds, if you arent down, you better turn into a plant fast enough to avoid him doing that for you

Dionysus: Nice wife, friends are drunk around the clock, you may or may not have to see people being ripped apart

Hephaestus: Good guy if youre not a shallow piece of crap, on the downside the living room is always 3000°

Hera: DO

Hestia: NOT

Athena: EVEN

Artemis: TRY

Hades: JUST

Persephone: DONT

Extra tip: consider joining the sacred virgins to avoid immanent death ;)

Pov: You flirted with the hunters of Artemis

Pov: You considered flirting with Hera
