Seriously Though From All That I Know About The Classical Mythology I Consume With Ares In It I Find Him Such And Interesting Deity - Tumblr Posts

Just thought about this while thinking of some Ocs (a whole thing but I want to introduce them)

But Ares is a little different in PJO. He’s very like- modern Ares. Just- a lot more of once side of Ares and lest of another side we see in the Myths,

(Yes I know there is a lot of contradiction in the myths depending on which one, which version, the time period, etc. but I think when I bring up Mythology Ares vs. Pjo Ares people know the difference I’m pointing out)

But I’d like to propose my half-baked thoughts,

We know the Gods take on different ‘counterparts’ for Ares his Roman counterpart is Mars, etc and etc. and this is usually do to like drastic culture change that still pulls the essence of the God (I’m just word vomiting bare with me)

To preserve my nice little image of Mythology Ares and Ares caring for his kid (even though there’s that whole moment in Sea of Monsters- maybe I read it wrong but like- there’s also like a bunch of other things but PJO Ares and loving his kids doesn’t usually click in my mind first glance) but concept, what if the Ares we see through Percy’s eyes is the American counterpart Ares/ modern counterpart of Ares. An Ares that fits in with our *Hollywoods* idea of Ares,

Okay I didn’t think through this and it popped into my head and I wanted to write it down before I forgot- maybe I’ll make a post about this and if it is a noticeable trend through all of the Gods or if I’m just really being a little delusional.
