As a Greek Geek, I'll let you in on a little secret: Poseidon Earthshaker (yes, that's his real name!) and his niece Athena got along worse than Hercules and Hera! Which is to say, they got along like cats and dogs!

Haha! Yeah, I know! I still find it a bit strange that they managed to be on the same side during the Trojan War. XD

I did not know that, my friend! Also, what got you interested in Greek mythology? For me, it's that 90s Hercules movie from Disney.

I think I first got interested in Greek mythology when we read about in school (that was in the early 90s, before Disney's Hercules. Haha, I'm so old). I was interested in mythology and ancient civilizations in general, but the Greek gods stood out as so wonderfully flawed and human. So I borrowed more books about Greek mythology from the library and from then on it has remained one of my biggest interests. ^^

Nice! I'm working on a story that is like the baby of Kid Icarus and Mega Man, called (this is a tentative title, btw) Ultra Illiad! Would you like to help me? Also, I'm a 90s kid, too! Born in '95! Did you have a SNES or a Genesis in those days, if you don't mind me asking?

Sorry for late reply. My family first bought a NES and then later the SNES when it was released. Mega Man and Kid Icarus were two of my favorite games to the NES.
Your story sounds interesting. What exactly do you need help with? I'm afraid that the comic that I'm working on takes the most of my time.

I need help with the story. I've got the beginning and the ending, but the middle is blank! Also, don't worry about the response time: one thing I've learned about the internet is that you almost always shouldn't expect an immediate reply, especially if they're either lazy or busy.

Well, to know the beginning and the end is a good start. What exactly is the story about?
π: 0 β©: 1
It basically takes place in a futuristic Greece. If you want some more details, then note me whenever you want to. I like this site, but I'm paranoid that someone will steal my ideas.

Poseidon shouldn't be so salty, especially since that's why he's not the patron of Athens.

Love the expressions, especially Athena's smugness

Thanks! Athena has the right to be smug once in a while.

By the way, you changed his hair colour, didn't you? I remember that he was black-haired before.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, I did. Dark brown hair suited him a bit better (plus it's more fun if Hades is the only one of the siblings with black hair).
π: 0 β©: 1
I figured. ^w^
Did Poseidon, Hestia, Hera and Demeter all get their hair colour from their mother Rhea?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, I think so (I still have no idea what Kronos looks like).

Someone like that sicko...I would say black hair. But that would raise the question why Zeus is blonde...XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Hm... Maybe Kronos has black hair and Zeus got his blond locks from Ouranos?

It would also explain why Gaia had the hots for him at the beginning. XD

That's possible too! :3

"Anything you can do, I can do better! I can do anything better than you!"
Loving Athena's smile, and the great pattern on her dress!

She's of course too polite to say that out loud, but she doesn't really need to because her smile says it just as well.

Poor Poseidon. Guy can never win when it comes to competing over cities. He even put Zeus in a bit of a situation when he was competing with Hera for Argos. XDΒ

I don't remember so much from that story. The local river gods judged who the land belonged to...?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup, pretty much. Zeus couldn't bring himself to make a decision between his brother and his wife, so he had the local river gods choose who would be the city's patron. They chose Hera, and in revenge Poseidon dried up all the wells and springs. He didn't release the land from drought until a daughter of the king of Argos slept with him (after he chased off/killed a satyr that was accosting her, sleeping with her was basically his reward for his deed).Β

Very wise of Zeus.
And I don't know if I should laugh or cry that Poseidon didn't let the drought cease until he got laid...

Both would be acceptable reactions.

I love this, great work
Love these two and how you draw them, love her Ageis.
Their alike in a way, both powerful, and close to Zeus, yet hating him for his using his position to hold sway, and both tend to get swept away by emotions which can be destructive.
Don't know if that's it for your comic, but that's my opinion.
Hell, both use a spear weapon!

Thank you!
Well, they are both quite competitive and knows how to hold a grudge. And they both have some problems to get along with Zeus, though Athena loved him despite his flaws until that whole thing with Prometheus (well, deep down she still has some love for him but she wouldn't admit it).

Welcome
Love it.
Both my faves.
My percy jackson OC, duaghter of poseidon is ironically best friends with Athena. And of course, Percy Jackson is in love with Athena's daughter, her literal brain child, so it's all kinds of fun to remember how these two are contrast. And yet similar
