The twelve Olympians and associated consorts/divinities rendered with V-hacks blanks. This is an ongoing project that I've been working on for the past two years and I'm finally in a position where I'm ready to show off my work. My inspirations are the original Greek myths, the Marvel 616 comic versions, and the MCU's euhemerized treatment of the Asgardians and Frost Giants. I have four Olympians and three consorts finished. More to come...

The dynamic between Poseidon, Lord of the Sea, and hid consort Amphitrite, personification of the Sea itself, isn't extensively developed in the myths that survive. From what we can tell, Amphitrite is unlike Hera in that she doesn't mind her husbands' infidelities and harbors no ill will toward her husband's illegitimate children. It might have something to do with the fact that Poseidon had to woo Amphitrite on her terms, rather than tricking her into marriage, as Zeus did to Hera, or outright kidnapping her, as Hades did to Persephone. Other than that, their relationship was a blank canvas, so I made them a battle couple, a pirate King and Queen.

Hey! Thanks for the kind words. Scott Bernard thank you, that is quite the compliment. I will do my best to do justice to the Olympians.
We've seen the faces of physical courage, unbridled chaos and the freewheeling, untamable seas. Now, for a somewhat more cerebral experience, we visit a humble reading nook on Mount Olympus.

This is a library Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, Defensive War, Craft and Council by D L, on Flickr Athena is the Goddess of many things, probably due to her popularity and her patronage of the influential city state that bore her name. Chief among her domains are Wisdom and War, but only prudent, defensive war. Unlike her belligerent and bloodthirsty half-brother Ares, Athena forebears when the threat is over, though one would be a fool to take her mercy for weakness. Austere and forward-thinking, she is the archetype of pragmatism. Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, Defensive War, Craft and Council by D L, on Flickr Depending on who you ask, the Grey-Eyed Goddess either has no mother or her mother is the unfortunate titaness Metis. Metis was the first consort of Zeus whom he ate to prevent her from bearing a son which could depose him. Nine-months later, Athena sprang fully-grown and fully-armed from her father's head, scion of her consumed mother. Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, Defensive War, Craft and Council by D L, on Flickr Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, Defensive War, Craft and Council by D L, on Flickr Although Zeus favors her, and he frequently relies on her sage counsel, the awkward circumstances of her birth and the hypocrisy of her father has kept her aloof from him. With an unusual birth and descent from Zeus, she has much in common with the heroes of Greek myth. She has taken it upon herself to "foster" her many half-siblings, becoming their mentor and benefactor, mothering them in the way Metis was never able to.
