To be honest, Nemisis is the goddess of Justice. Hestia is the goddess of hospitality. I’ve read all the myths. In the myths, he hid and protected and cherished only the most powerful of his children. He only protected Perseus when he was a baby, he hid Dyonisus away as a little girl, and in the myths, the only thing he did to hide Heracles was name him ‘Hera’s Glory,’ which is what Heracles translates to.
He was better on his godly children, giving Apollo and Artemis the gifts they desired. He was horrible to Ares, though. He despises Ares because Zeus does not yearn for war. He loves Athena because she is strategy and good at calming her father.
I, personally, enjoy the way Rick Riordan portrays the gods, especially Zeus. Compared with the original myths, Zeus is very accurate. He’s depicted not only as a king, but as a person with flaws, which is how the Ancient Greeks portrayed the gods themselves. Zeus was prideful, not very humble, and he has a hot temper. On the other hand, he’s respectable, in many cases just, and often times intelligent.
Riordan portrays Zeus as the Ancient Greeks did, as a person with high points and low points. I hate it when people portray the Greek gods as perfect because that isn’t how the Greeks portrayed them. If you read the myths, they often take their anger out at mortals, like the myth of Medusa and almost every child Zeus had. The gods in the myths had their flaws, often doing horrible things for no reason other than their pride being wounded by either each other or mortals.
About how Zeus is portrayed
I will admit yes, he is a guy who has way too many affairs and way too kids.
BUT he is king. He is the god of justice, of hospitality, of law and order.
He is the strongest of the gods and the most powerful.
He who loves his children and gladly gave Artemis and Apollo their wishes when they came to Olympus. He adores his kids and loves his family. He loves greatly and a great many.
He is not perfect but I do greatly respect him for his achievements and as he is KING.
I personally don’t like how Riordan portrays him, I prefer George O’Connor’s portrayal.
For Zeus is king. He is the greatest of the Greek gods. Lord of justice, order, and hospitality
So regardless if you hate or love him, you better respect him.
My Confession About Apollo
Am I the only one that thinks there will be a sudden decrease in Apollo children after ToA?
Like, don’t you think he’ll become a better god overall?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME WHAT

@rickriordan: This just in from Mount Olympus: A FIRST LOOK at the logo for PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS on @disneyplus!!
Found these brilliant illustrations on Pinterest but they’re originally from a really cool comic book series!
Actually not the worst pun I’ve ever heard
Hermes: here’s a joke everyone! what’s the best thing to wear to court?? A law suit!
Poseidon: is this your way of telling us you broke the law again?
Hermes: it’s my third offense!
sums it up pretty well
Ares: I have yet to encounter a problem where a sword didn't factor into the solution at least in some way.
Zeus: WHO DID THIS??! WHOEVER DID THIS IS GOING-
Athena: it was me
Zeus: to be forgiven because everyone deserves a second chance *walks away*
Poseidon: thanks for that
Athena: you owe me your life. don’t forget it
“Artemis: Goddess of the hunt, archer of the moon” My foray into archer has really given me new purpose, so to celebrate I thought I’d share a painting I’ve done of the original champion herself: Artemis! Twin sister to Apollo, Artemis requested of her father not only to have as many titles as her brother (the original ‘golden boy’) and to prove herself as an equally talented archer. With the mountains falling under her domain, Artemis proved herself a force to be reckoned with, something I take inspiration from in my training!
