The Sister Trio - Tumblr Posts

It could be coincidence, but this view of some of Zeus children (there are MORE) is quite interesting, though I don´t really know the middle sibling pair and I thought Artemis was borned first even in some retellings helping Leto (their mom) give birth to Apollo, so maybe the parings are Artemis and Athena and Dionysus and Apollo. With this one Dionysus and Apollo role would lend more towards the arts and madness (the two usually afflict people with this), while Artemis and Athena i don´t see their roles so clear.

and in the middle siblings pair, I would say their roles are more tied to the underworld as Hermes guides the soul of the dead (psycopomp) and Persophone (as queen of the underworld), also being one the few entities that are allowed to enter and exit said place.

I might be wrong so feel free to correct me if I´m worng, and sorry for the rant!

I've been thinking about the bro trio (Apollo - Hermes - Dionysus) and the sis trio (Athena - Persephone - Artemis). There is a similarity between them.

Apollo and Athena are the oldest siblings and represent civilization (both help find cities and are deities of intellect)

Hermes and Persephone are the middle siblings and preside over rural areas (husbandry and agriculture)

Dionysus and Artemis are the youngest siblings and embody the wildlife and animalistic nature.

Hmmmmm...
