the greeks themselves had studied and proposed the diferent types of love, and there were some minor deities related to these other types.

@@legion999 If you're really into the Greek mythos, you can relatively be confident that he IS thirsting a little. And you can also be sure that the gods having sex sometimes doesn't mean actual sex. I know Zeus produced an offspring by cutting off a part of his body (or maybe it was someone else's body part? Can't remember). I know Zeus was also pregnant once and bore his own child. Can't remember which one that was either. Greek mythos is weird. Ares thirsting for night mom makes sense though cause Ares is the embodiment of war, and Nyx is the personification of night, therefore, doing war at night is kinda a play on words here. Cause war at night is terrifying and if you have the surprise factor on your enemy you're sure to win the war.

Later on, they were mashed together into a singular being, but became mostly Eathly love version, while Hera got the Family part.

Believe it's the other way around. Aphrodite, like many other gods, had competing origin narratives. Two were particularly popular. As a result, I can't remember who, decided that it wasn't two different origin stories for a god but two different gods with the same name, thereafter calling one Aphrodite Urania and the other Aphrodite Pandemos, ascribing different aspects of love to each.

[@whytho1534]

It doesn’t really matter tho,”Urania” and “Pandemos”are just her epithets not another Aphrodite, every god has an epithet, it’s like saying Athena Parthenos and Pallas Athena are 2 different people, they aren’t, it’s just an epithet used to describe a god depending on where you live and what you believe in, going by ur logic, there are actually 11 different Aphrodite’s, since she has way more epithets then just pandemos and urania

[@unkindled6410]

wasnt the aphrodite more commonly refered today born from Uranus balls (god i hate that i actually said this) after they fell into the primordial sea? which puts aphrodite in this weird position in the family tree were shes KINDA the aunt of Zeus and the gang, but at the same you could just say shes akin to a primordial or something born from the planet itself and you cant say shes relative to anyone. kinda funny.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

I'm not sure how they rationalize him being forced to return to the Underworld even once everyone is pretty much OK with him doing whatever he wants. I know it's necessary for the roguelike structure, but it seems like one of the weaker points in the otherwise incredibly well-thought-out story and lore. I like to think he lives a hero's life, vanquishes some foes, chills out a bit, and then is killed or dies of old age and ends up back home. One of the ending bits is even "Wait" and it implies old age. But from some of his dialogue with Than, that doesn't seem likely. I don't know, I haven't played the game or seen enough of it really.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

Alright I was missing important context there. I went and watched the first ending, from the first time you complete a run. He is, in fact, bound to the Underworld by nature of his parentage, and he just up and dies ("taken by the Styx") after what's maybe a few hours, less than a day. When Persephone was up there he had to battle through to her again and again just to get to talk with her briefly before dying again.

Achilles has a lover, already, named Patroclus. Even had their ashes mixed together after their funeral and became a human blender and slaughtered the opposing forces once he discovered that Patroclus was killed by the Trojan enemy. Achilles calls Megaera 'Mistress' out of respect; Furies are no slouches in combat and Achilles respects that. Also, Achilles is gay.

Same here, it might be a combination of the eschered pose (the dismatch of above and below the shoulders is just very obvious) and the direct contrast to how tastefully and fun teasing other designs like Dionysus' are. It could also be more related to lore, since her domain is love as well, which comes in so many forms (the ancient greek distinction into 8 different kinds fE) so her design is disappointing in the not realised potential added ontop of how common over sexualisation of women already is (let's be honest the drawing could be from a hentai game). Maybe it's something else entirely tho ^^ In any case, personally, I would have loved a more intricate and unique design that continues all the detailwork around her face, which would be closer to the other characters where you can always spot a new bit of detail as visual storytelling.
