They can still be fun to look at or to pass the time

Family trees can still be useful within a single work (but even then sometimes authors contradict themselves).

About the map, it's about trying to place many of the obviously fantastical locations into real life geography.

Though both the family trees and the maps can look awesome as artistic pieces sometimes.

If Hephaestus is so ugly, how did he pull two bad bitches? 🤔

Art credit to u/hera_hell_art

In the Argonautica (and the Aeneid, which is more Roman than Greek), Hephaestus was happily married to Aphrodite. In the Iliad, after his divorce, he married Kharis/Aglaia. And in Lucian's Dialogues of the Gods he was in a relationship with BOTH of them at the same time! What a chad. He's Hera's boy, of course he'd be a chick magnet

^(Yes, I know he wasn't ugly, just disabled. People who call him ugly are ignorant at best and ableist at worst)

(I added the Eros art for u/TheSuperBunny )

I built a OC more powerful than Zeus. It’s called Janus. What do you think? Did I perhaps make it too much of a "Mary Sue"?

Description:

"Arise, O Consivius, throw wide all the gates, be propitious.
Now he will heed us. You are the good Creator, the good Janus.
He will come, by far the best of those kings.
Raise a song to him, Father of the Gods, supplicate the God of the Gods."

"Whate’er you see anywhere – sky, sea, clouds, earth – all things are closed and opened by my hand. The guardianship of this vast universe is in my hands alone, and none but me may rule the wheeling pole. When I choose to send forth peace from tranquil halls, she freely walks the ways unhindered. But with blood and slaughter the whole world would welter, did not the bars unbending hold the barricadoed wars. I sit at heaven’s gate with the gentle Hours; my office regulates the goings and the comings of Jupiter himself."

Maybe I made it too OP, guys?

"Did you know that, in the oldest versions of the myth, Demeter was actually my literal IRL mother so I NEED to project all my traumas on the goddess?"
