The characters of Lore Olympus.
Nymphs
open/close all folders
In General
Nature spirits who are tied to certain things like flowers and rivers.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Just like the gods.
- Fantastic Racism: Often the victim of this. They’re often treated as only the side chicks of major gods, which is something that Minthe and Thetis struggle with.
- Our Nymphs Are Different: The nymphs that appear in the series seem to be sprung from nature itself rather than born to a pair of parents. Subverted in the most recent chapter with the introduction of Nereus, an ancient sea god who fathered the Nereids. The subspecies that have appeared so far are
- Anthousainote
- Dryadsnote
- Oreadsnote
- Naiadsnote
- Nereidsnote
- Pointy Ears: What distinguishes them from goddesses.
Minthe
Minthe
- A-Cup Angst: Once she finds out about Persephone, Minthe starts becoming insecure about her body and checks out her breast size in the bathroom mirror. Humorously illustrated in the December 29th Q-and-A
, which included an image of Minthe and Persephone based on a famous photo of Sophia Loren side-eyeing Jayne Mansfield. - Adaptational Expansion: In the original myths, she is just some minor nymph who Persephone turns into a mint plant after catching her flirting with Hades. Here, she is one of the main characters and has been dating Hades long before he and Persephone meet.
- Aesop Amnesia: In Episode 103, she realizes what a terrible "friend" Thetis has been to her. Too bad she's so caught up in her jealousy and resentment that she forgets about it and immediately sides with Thetis and Thanatos the instant they dig up some dirt on Persephone.
- The lesson finally sticks in Chapter 214, where she says goodbye to Thetis for good.
- And I Must Scream: After she repeatedly insults Hades and boasts about exposing Demeter and Persephone's cover up to Zeus, Persephone turns Minthe into a plant specifically to take away her mouth. She still remains aware of her surroundings and her only means of communication is shaking her leaves.
- Asshole Victim: Minthe being turned into a mint plant is a Fate Worse than Death that Persephone inflicted on the former for not just giving Hades more emotional and verbal abuse in front of the latter, but ruining the latter and her mother's lives by reporting Persephone's act of wrath to Zeus out of spite. Very few tears were shed, but Hades and Thanatos are both more shocked than crying over her. The only person who does "grieve" for Minthe is her False Friend Thetis, and even then those are Crocodile Tears at best.
- At Least I Admit It: Unlike Thetis' relationship with Zeus, Minthe and Hades have no illusions over how shallow their relationship is.
- Big Bad Wannabe: Minthe's introduced as abusive girlfriend of Hades and The Rival to Persephone who sent her to Tartarus and helped revealed Persephone's act of wrath out of jealous spite. She seems like a major threat to Hades and Persephone's love story... only for her to be the first villain to be conquered, hence her fate as a mint plant.
- The Bus Came Back: Persephone succeeds in healing her after the Time Skip.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: When she realizes that Persephone is the girl that Hades was photographed with, she sends her on a search that leads her to Tartarus.
- She also has a opinion about Thanatos hanging out with Daphne, despite having no meaningful romantic interest in him.
- Cool Teacher: Her new job during and after Persephone’s banishment. Which she is both genuinely competent at AND content with.
- Didn't Think This Through: Minthe tries to flush out Persephone's slaughter to discredit her to Hades, but Hermes points out to her that this only makes her more suitable to be Hades' bride, because no one else has been/could be willing to stay with the God of Death.
- Domestic Abuse: Minthe has repeatedly emotionally and psychologically abused Hades, and as of Chapter 76, physically as well. Eventually Hades dumps her for good and refuses her repeated advances.
- Everyone Has Standards: Seems annoyed when Zeus uses a pimple as an excuse to flunk Persephone.
- Foil:
- To Persephone, for obvious reasons. They are starkly different in upbringing, class, and worldview. However, they do have some similarities. Though Persephone is sweeter, kinder, and more approachable than Minthe, both have pretty nasty tempers and both have rather deep insecurities about themselves. Each is pretty naïve in her own way, which allows for other more malicious people to take advantage of them. Also, each is employed by Hades for a time and ends up being romantically involved with him.
- It's also revealed that Minthe suffered from Parental Neglect as a child, while Persephone had to deal with the controlling and over-protective Demeter.
- To Thetis. Both are nymphs with royal Olympian boyfriends, but Thetis is far savvier and more confident as a girlfriend. Once Persephone shows up, all of Minthe’s attempts to seduce Hades using Thetis’ “stay mean, keep ‘em keen” methods fall woefully flat or just bring out her abusive side. Thetis also has none of Minthe’s insecurities or rage issues and is perfectly suited to dating Zeus, who has far less of a moral compass than Hades and is oblivious enough to let her get away with whatever she wants. However, Thetis always makes sure never to show Zeus her worst characteristics. It’s possible that Zeus sees her as less of a person than Hades does Minthe simply because she never speaks out against him. Also, since Zeus is married to Hera, she will forever be The Mistress which is why she’s so jealous whenever Minthe and Hades progress in their relationship.
- To Persephone, for obvious reasons. They are starkly different in upbringing, class, and worldview. However, they do have some similarities. Though Persephone is sweeter, kinder, and more approachable than Minthe, both have pretty nasty tempers and both have rather deep insecurities about themselves. Each is pretty naïve in her own way, which allows for other more malicious people to take advantage of them. Also, each is employed by Hades for a time and ends up being romantically involved with him.
- Forced Transformation: After Minthe disparages Hades in front of her, an enraged Persephone turns her into a potted mint plant.
- Forgiven, but Not Forgotten: Hades forgives her for her actions in Episode 76 and lets her keep the apartment he gave her, but makes it clears that he has no intention of getting back together with her and that her continued employment depends on her proving that her latest apology to him meant something through her actions.
- Gold Digger: Is one to Hades, although she does have legitimate feelings for him.
- Heel–Face Turn: Had one in the decade of Persephone’s banishment to the Mortal World. While she and Persephone still aren’t friends, she no longer bears any meaningful grudge against the spring goddess and happily puts it behind her. Thetis isn’t pleased.
- Hidden Depths: The first signs we get is when her usually abrasive behavior cracks and she shows legitimate feelings towards Hades and breaks down when she thinks he might be leaving her for Persephone. She also panics at the idea that Hades might want to marry her, believing she is not up to all the responsibilities and social pressures that come with being a queen.
- As a result of the Parental Neglect she received from her mother, she has no interest in raising children.
- Hypocrite: Was perfectly fine with hooking up with Thanatos before her relationship upgrade with Hades, but when she catches Hades just looking at Persephone, she flies into a jealous rage. This is especially egregious in that they had previously agreed that they weren't exclusive.
- Insecure Love Interest: To Hades. She's well aware she's screwed up and status-wise she's far below him, particularly when people keep making snide comments about her, and it brings out the worst of her behavior.
- I Reject Your Reality: Hades finally decides he's done with their relationship after her treatment of him in Episode 76, but Minthe refuses to accept that she won't be able to win him back. Even when Hermes points out to her that Hades just isn't interested in her anymore and is interested in Persephone, and Thanatos later comes to agree with him, she starts ranting about how they "can't possibly understand the complexities of the type of relationship we have!"
- Jerkass: Her "Stay mean, keep 'em keen" approach to dating.
- Deconstructed when Hades finally has enough and leaves her.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Just as Hecate suspends her until further notice for hitting her boss AND boyfriend Hades, she tries to apologize for what she’s done as she’s dragged away, but it comes off as if she’s more worried about possibly getting fired than pure concern for Hades well-being.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Minthe's spiteful and vindictive actions swing clean back at her when she blurts out that she reported Persephone and Demeter after Hades offered her a job move to help her get over him and do what's best for her.
- Karma Houdini Warranty: It specifically expired because Minthe wouldn't accept Hades transferring to her a new (BETTER PAID) position where her former relationship with him wouldn't be brought up to her every two seconds. Minthe would have gotten away with everything she's done if she could just accept defeat.
- Kick the Dog: Hitting Hades AND having the gall to compare him to Kronos, all the while blaming HIM for her mistakes.
- Lower-Class Lout: How many view her, a rude, gold-digging nymph who treats her deity boss and lover like trash. Angry comments from Thetis also implies that, as a river nymph, she's low on her own species' social ladder as well.
- Narcissist: Just like Apollo, Minthe fails to understand what part she plays in things and does not take full responsibility for her actions, blaming others and lashing out when things don't go quite the way she would like, especially in regards to her toxic relationship with Hades.
- Subverted somewhat. She actually questions her own abusive behavior and attempts to apologize after she strikes Hades. She even shuts herself in her apartment and is depressed for several days straight afterwards.
- Never My Fault: Constantly blames others, especially Hades, for her own bad decisions that bite her in the ass.
- Once Done, Never Forgotten: Her cruel verbal and physical assault on Hades was the straw that broke the camel's back regarding her behavior. Hecate suspends her from her job on the spot and news of her actions quickly spreads through the company grapevine and throughout Hades's family, bringing her already dismal reputation to all new lows.
- Parental Neglect: Was one the receiving end in her childhood. She apprently never knew her father, and her mother never wanted her, preffering to spend her time partying, leaving child-Minthe to care for herself for long periods, and completely ignoring her attempts to gain her affection.
- Pointy Ears: Is self-conscious about her pointy ears being big, something Thetis uses to chip away at Minthe's self-esteem by comparing hers to Persephone's small and cute rounded ears.
- Right Behind Me: When she confronts Hades over her better-paid job transfer and his unwillingness to take her back, she rants about his personal insecurities and reveals it was she that reported Persephone and Demeter to Zeus, not realizing Persephone herself had just walked in behind her. Persephone SNAPS and turns Minthe into a mint plant.
- Sanity Slippage: When her plot against Persephone begins to collapse and it becomes clear Hades doesn't want to go back to a relationship with her, she gradually begins to enter this through constant self-denial and refusing to accept it's over.
- It comes to a head where she more or less snaps in Episode 152.
- Shown Their Work: Unlike the Adaptational Personality Change many major mythological figures received in this comic Minthe's role as a jealous, conniving former lover of Hades actually has a clear basis in one ancient literary source.Oppian (Greek poet C3rd A.D.): "Mint (Mintha), men say, was once a maid beneath the earth,...and she lay in the bed of Aidoneus [Hades]; ...but when he raped the maid Persephone from the Aitnaian hill, ...she complained loudly with overweening words and raved foolishly for jealousy, [...] For she had said that she was nobler of form and more excellent in beauty than dark-eyed Persephone and she boasted that Aidoneus would return to her and banish the other from his halls".
- Starter Villain: The first member of Team Snarky Chat, if not the entire modern-day story, to be taken down for setting up the events of Season 2.
- Villainous Breakdown: Undergoes a massive one when Hades offers her a new job after it becomes apparent she's not getting over her, which leads to her blurting out about Hades' personal insecurities and that she reported Persephone and Demeter. This bites her on the ass considering who's nearby.
Thetis
Thetis
- Adaptational Villainy: In the original myths, Thetis saved Zeus from an attempted coup and raised Hephaestus after he was rejected by his mother. Here, she is a shameless, scheming homewrecker.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Finding his being part mortal "gross" aside, she is nothing but a doting mother to Achilles.
- False Friend: Is this to Minthe. Thanatos calls her out for only wanting Minthe around because she was so insecure that Thetis could always keep under her thumb and crush her down if she ever did anything better than her.
- Fantastic Racism: She calls Minthe a "mud sucking, low class, river nymph" when the latter tries to break off their friendship. She also thinks of Achilles’ human side as gross.
- Foregone Conclusion: Her plan to steal Zeus from Hera is destined to fail.
- Green-Eyed Monster: Becomes jealous when Hades and Minthe enter a public relationship and plans to ruin Zeus' relationship with Hera to "up her game". She also sabotages Minthe and Hades' relationship by getting Minthe too sloshed to make her dinner date with Hades and stoking her insecurities to make her keep being mean to "punish" Hades..
- Hate Sink: She's a homewrecking nymph who takes advantage of her adulterer of a boss to attempt to ruin Zeus and Hera's marriage, ruins her own friend's relationship out of jealousy and then forces her to go clubbing after Minthe got in trouble, and reported Persephone to Zeus, even though she doesn't have any reason to hate Persephone and has no personal stake in what's happening in the Underworld, out of petty spite and desire to stir up trouble on Olympus. Only Apollo and Leto are worse than her, right now.
- It's All About Me: Forces Minthe to go out to a party with her under the excuse of having fun when clearly Minthe isn't interested, and when Minthe asks to hide from Poseidon's wife she tells her off for "spoiling her fun". This is the last straw for Minthe, who ends their friendship.
- Laser-Guided Karma: It’s eventually revealed that when Persephone was banished to the Mortal Realm after her trial, both Thetis and Thanatos were banished too.
- Her antics during Persephone's trial also net her Nereus' disdain and he tells her point-blank that she's not one of his favored daughters.
- Oh, Crap!: Her reaction to the fallout of Zeus's verdict of Persephone's trial, given that a full-scale riot takes place in the court room.
- The Resenter: She hates Hera and wants to break her marriage to Zeus. Though it's less about loving him in particular and more about wanting to gain all the perks of being Queen of the Gods. But she doesn't know what a massive cost there was for Hera to gain the title...
- Sadist: She not only has no issue with the pain Zeus' cheating causes Hera, remarking that "crying is for wives", but she also enjoys Minthe's unhappiness. She takes pleasure at the prospect of Hades leaving Minthe and actively sabotages their attempts to have a positive relationship.
- Stepford Smiler: She's a lot nicer to Zeus than Minthe is to Hades, but she is a lot more malevolent than Minthe.
- Toxic Friend Influence: While Minthe's not a nice person, it becomes clear that a lot of her behavior is enabled and encouraged by Thetis. Even when Minthe concedes she might be overreacting to Persephone, Thetis drags her insecurities back to the surface and feeds her doubts.
- The Unfavorite: Is revealed to be this among the Nereids, her father Nereus needs to be reminded of who she is and when he finally realizes who he's talking to he makes his disappointment VERY clear.
Daphne
Daphne
- Adaptational Species Change: Was a naiad in the original mythos, is an anthousa in the comic.
- Alone with the Psycho: Daphne to her great horror when she finds out the kind of person Apollo really is.
- Armor-Piercing Question: When Thanatos goes on a rant about Persephone getting special treatment from Hades, Daphne bluntly asks why that's such an issue (albeit not very professional in the workplace) and wonders why he cares so much.
- The Bus Came Back: Healed from tree form following the Time Skip.
- Foregone Conclusion: Unless things go radically differently in the story, she's going to be turned into a tree to avoid being Apollo's latest victim. She eventually does turn into a tree after she realizes what Apollo did to Persephone courtesy of an arrow shot at him by Ampelus/Psyche.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: Is this with Echo. The two are clearly very close friends, share stories about their respective lives freely, appear to be protective of one another and give each other support and advice when dealing with Gods. Daphne, for instance, advices that Echo be careful in her plan to surprise a downtrodden Hera organising a visit by her children, including estranged Hephaestus.
- Locked Out of the Loop: She's unaware of what happened between Apollo and Persephone, though it doesn't take too much time as Apollo's rebound girlfriend before Daphne catches on to his obsession and bails.
- Ms. Fanservice: As befitting a model. Apollo specifically brings her along with Thanatos to interrogate Helios for this reason.
- Nice Girl: So far, she's been shown to be sweet and kind. She's even genuinely nice to Thanatos, making him blush a bit.
- Official Couple: After the second Time Skip and returning from being a tree, she gets together with Thanatos.
- Oh, Crap!: Daphne appropriately experiences this when she learns from Psyche's Arrow of Hate Apollo's true personality, and it doesn't help that she's alone in the middle of nowhere with him.
- She Knows Too Much: Apollo decides this when he realizes Daphne now knows of his rape and attempts at a forced marriage on Persephone. Daphne only manages to escape this fate by the skin of her teeth by turning into a tree.
- Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: Daphne eventually realizes that she's just Apollo's poor man's version of Persephone, and promptly leaves their date through the bathroom window.
- Silk Hiding Steel: Daphne is an unbelievably sweet person but being a anthousa from the Mortal World with an initial blindspot for Apollo leads a few beings to assume she's a fool. She doesn't hesitate to call Thanatos out on his prejudice of Persephone and influences him into being a better person. When she learns the truth about Apollo, she shrugs off his Mind-Control Music and turns herself into a tree with the intention of telling the truth to everyone she can the moment she gets out of hibernation. Had Demeter not gotten herself captured by Leto, Apollo's plan to marry Persephone would have ended right there.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: She's effectively Persephone as a nymph, right down to being a Rose-Haired Sweetie. Which is probably why Apollo is dating her. It gets to the point where Apollo, after talking about Persephone in a rather disturbing way while on a date with Daphne, asks if she's ever considered getting a pixie cut...to which Daphne makes her excuses and nopes right out of there.
Amphitrite
Amphitrite
The Nereid wife of Poseidon and Queen of the Sea.- Happily Married: Very worried about Poseidon during the years he was under Kronos power and catatonic.
- Polyamory: Her relationship with Poseidon is this, with Hades specifically saying that Poseidon doesn't cheat like Zeus because his marriage is an open one.
- Violently Protective Girlfriend: Downplayed but she snaps at ZEUS of all people when she makes it clear Poseidon is her priority not his drama, even more notable in that not only is he King of the Gods but despite being all but treated as a goddess herself, she is technically a nymph, and thus even lower on the celestial food chain than even one of the other gods would be when compared to Zeus.
Echo
Echo
- Adaptational Nice Guy: In the original myth, Echo was the one who constantly distracted Hera with asinine tales about this and that so Zeus could chase after his newest mortal crush. Here she just seems to be a Hypercompetent Sidekick to Hera. Though seeing as Zeus was the one who made her Hera's assistant...
- Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In the original story, Echo is sent by Zeus to distract Hera so he can sleep around unimpeded. When Hera realizes the scheme, she curses Echo to only be able to repeat what others say. In this version, Hera and Echo develop into a romance.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: Is this with Daphne. The two are clearly very close friends, share stories about their respective lives freely, appear to be protective of one another and give each other support and advice when dealing with Gods. Echo, for instance, warns Daphne in no uncertain terms against dating Apollo based on what she'd heard him say about Persephone in Hera's office.
- Hypercompetent Sidekick: She thinks up a means to derail Apollo when he comes to visit Hera; while Hera refuses the plan, it earns her a position as her secretary.
- Nice Girl: She always comes across as friendly and supportive not only of long-term friend Daphne, but also Hera, as shown when she's keeping her company alongside Hebe while the Queen is resting in bed after her night terror.
- Politeness Judo: She kindly but firmly makes it clear to Apollo that he has no right to act like he's entitled to an appointment with Hera when he barges into her office unannounced.
Leuce
Leuce
An anthousa who was brought to the Underworld by Zeus.- Adaptational Species Change: Historically, her father is Oceanus which assumes she's some sort of oceanid. Here, however, she is an anthousa.
- The Bus Came Back: First seen during a brief interlude during the Time Skip when Zeus tried to open up negotiations with the Underworld that failed spectacularly. Returns after the Time Skip to seek a job in the Underworld... with Thetis in tow.
- Foregone Conclusion: Another one of Hades' lovers who will eventually be turned into a plant, this time a poplar tree.
-
Poor Man's Substitute: After Minthe turns her life around, Thetis recruits her to be the new "Minthe" aka Hades' gold-digging, discord-spreading mistress. The problem? By this point, Hades is VERY Happily Married and his wife Persephone made it very clear she will have a "Take No Prisoners" approach to any side chicks. Even if the first two points weren't an issue, she also isn't smart enough to make it work, to Thetis' dismay. - Proud Beauty: When they first meet, she's a bit huffy that Hades (politely) declined making her his lover.
- Small Name, Big Ego: Will not shut up about how she almost became Queen of the Underworld and still thinks she's got a shot with Hades.
- She tells anyone who asks that Hades messaged her about how much he desires her and regrets not marrying her, even directly saying this to Persephone herself. As revealed in Episode 251, this is a lie. She made and edited the messages herself. She calls it "manifesting." No one is pleased with this excuse, not even Thetis.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Due to being pink, Leuce has a passing resemblance to Persephone. Zeus brought her to the Underworld to seduce Hades after Persephone is banished to the Mortal World.
Mortals
Psyche
Psyche
Click here to see her as a nymph
A beautiful mortal who won the heart of Eros and the ire of Aphrodite.
- Adaptational Angst Downgrade: In the original myth, Aphrodite puts Psyche (who’s pregnant at the time) through multiple life-threatening trials. In this version, Psyche merely accompanies Aphrodite through her daily routines, with no mention of danger or even antagonism between them.
- Adaptational Angst Upgrade: In the original myth, Psyche's parents were tricked into thinking Psyche will be taken by a monster. Here, her parents verbally and physically abusive and sell her off to a cruel husband before Eros intervenes. Her two sisters not only talk her into attempting to kill Eros like in the original myth but also insult her intelligence and put her down for trying to learn how to read and write.
- Ambiguously Brown: She has dark brown skin and dark hair.
- Death Seeker: She is fine with Aphrodite trying to kill her for having broken Eros's heart, which halts Aphrodite's rage towards her briefly.
- God Of Human Origin: After the trial Zeus makes her into a god to both ease his family relations, which he just threw into chaos by exiling Demeter and Persephone, AND to keep an eye on Apollo for him.
- Gone Horribly Right: On the flip side, her plan to strip Apollo of his good publicity works perfectly: a horrified witness learns every last filthy deed, including what he did to Persephone.
- Gone Horribly Wrong: On the downside, said witness is not Artemis as intended, but Daphne, a lowly nymph who lacks the divine power to get away with it. Ultimately, Psyche's plan results into Daphne turning herself into a tree to escape Apollo's Gaslighting or worse.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Upon learning that the man who had taken her was Eros and her misguided murder attempt drove him away from her.
- Secret Test of Character: Currently acts as one for Eros, unbeknownst to him. In order to see how true Ero's feelings for Psyche really are, Aphrodite has her pose as one of her personal nymphs.
- Took a Level in Badass: She learns archery from Eros while disguised as a nymph. In general, she becomes more proactive and assertive as the story goes on.
- Zeus makes her a goddess to allow Eros to marry her and to keep an eye on Apollo.
- Trophy Wife: Her parents tried to sell her off to be the wife of a cruel rich man before Eros rescued her.
- Two-Person Love Triangle: She kisses Eros while disguised as the nymph Ampelus; she subsequently worries he now Loves Her Alter Ego.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Look, Psyche meant well and was really trying to help everyone when she hit Apollo with the "Arrow of Hate" (actually, an arrow that reveals the target's true nature). But her actions ultimately only resulted in Daphne transforming herself into a tree, leaving behind a heartbroken Thanatos and Echo.
- World's Most Beautiful Woman: Mortals declare her to be more beautiful than Aphrodite, something that the petty goddess takes personally.
Semele
Semele
- Ambiguously Brown: Like Psyche, she has dark skin and dark hair.
- Cute and Psycho: A little bit. After Semele tells Zeus that she wants to set fire to her loom and see what her father does, he thinks she is unhinged... but hot.
- It's implied that this is a result of her suffering from Rich Boredom.
- Death by Childbirth: Dies from complications giving birth to Dionysus.
- Dies Differently in Adaptation: In the myths, she dies as a result of Zeus showing her his true form. In this comic, Zeus claims she died as a result of Dionysus being premature and her mortal flesh being unable to successfully carry him to term.
- Foregone Conclusion: She's destined to be Dionysus' mother. A fate that has befallen her as of chapter 243.
- Smitten Teenage Girl: While her age is currently unknown she acts this way when she is with Zeus.
Kassandra
Kassandra
A Trojan priestess of Apollo and a prophet. She gives prophecies that no mortal believes.
- Ambiguously Brown: Like Psyche, she has dark skin and dark hair.
- The Cassandra: The original, natch. But only mortals don't believe her so far. Gods and non-humans realize she's telling the truth.
- Deadpan Snarker: As a result of her situation, she tosses much snark and sarcasm at Apollo.
- Foregone Conclusion: She's destined to foretell the fall of Troy and the aftermath.
- Friendless Background: As a result of her prophecies, she's barely tolerated at the temple. That Apollo insures that no one else can see him but her when he's there doesn't help.
- Mark of the Supernatural: Her purple eyes, as a result of who gave her her power.
- Not-So-Imaginary Friend: As the giver of her prophetic abilities, Apollo is hers and she's as happy about this as you think she is.
Others
Hades' dogs
Hades' eight beloved pets Cerberus, Cordon Blue, Mushroom, J.P, Russell, Fudge, Big John, and Pomelia "Meli".
- The Baby of the Bunch: Pomelia, the newest and youngest addition of the family as of Episode 94 who is still just a little puppy.
- Cuteness Proximity: Persephone experiences this with every single member, especially little Pomelia.
- Fluffy the Terrible: Cerberus.
- Fuzz Therapy: Hades implies that he adopts dogs to deal with his loneliness and his therapist has asked him to stop.
- Gender-Blender Name:
Word of God has confirmed that Big John is actually Female. - Happily Adopted: It is implied that all non-monster dogs were taken in by Hades after they died due to mistreatment when Hades saves Pomelia from the mortal world.
- Precious Puppies: Pomelia, the sweet, adorable King Charles Spaniel puppy that Hades finds and adopts in Episode 94.
- Team Mom: Big John is implied to be this due to her more nurturing, gentle demeanor compared to her siblings.
Aetna
Aetna
- Adaptation Species Change: In the myths, she is either a mountain nymph or the goddess of Mt. Etna.
- Benevolent A.I.: She is a very cheerful intelligence and is happy to help Persephone, gleefully destroying the blackmail photos Apollo had on her.
- Gamer Chick: She takes great pleasure in beating Hermes in online video games.
- Shipper on Deck: When she sees on the news that Aphrodite can't fulfill her duties, Aetna encourages Hephaestus to help her with a big smile on her face.
Asclepius
Asclepius
- Adapted Out: His past of reviving humans and being killed by Zeus on the behalf of Hades and being resurrected as a god for it is changed to him being a demigod who's not particularly familiar with any of the gods aside from his father.
- The Mole: In the past, Hades privately called upon Asclepius to help him with his infertility only for him to immediately break doctor-patient confidentiality and tell his father Apollo, who promptly told everyone in Olympus about it. When treating Hera, he had told his father about his appointment with her ahead of time.
- Nervous Wreck: He clearly has anxiety from having to give Apollo the personal details of Hera, who threatened to tear his head off if he tells anyone her business.
- Older Than They Look: A flashback from Hades showed that he has been practicing medicine at least since the Olympian equivalent of the flapper era.
Chiron
Chiron
- Adaptational Job Change: Though it actually happened in-universe: she went from being a physician in the Mortal Realm (like the myth) to a psychiatrist in the Divine Realms.
- Gender Flip: She's male in the original myths.
- Proud Scholar Race: Between her and Persephone's professor at university, Centaurs in Lore Olympus seem to be leaning more towards this trope.
- The Shrink: Of the Awesome variety. She doesn't shy away from uncomfortable questions and sharp observations, but she always comes across as supportive, non-confrontational, non-judgemental, and nurturing, which helps Persephone open up to the point of discussing her rape within their first session.
Titans
Kronos
Kronos
- Abusive Parent: Ate his sons alive out of fear they would usurp him. Even worse, he knew it wouldn't kill them and constantly mocked them while they were in his stomach, Hades especially.
- Adapted Out: This version of Kronos does not wield a sickle as a trademark weapon.
- Adaptational Villainy: In the myths, he was said to have ruled a golden age of peace and prosperity, only being an enemy to Rhea and the Olympians. In the comics, he was a destructive maniac that would have cast Earth, Olympus and the Underworld into an age of darkness had he not been defeated.
- Big Bad: Is still seen at the biggest threat to Olympus and the Mortal Realm despite being imprisoned for thousands of years. Whether he will be freed from his prison and fully embrace his role is yet to be seen. He eventually does break free after Persephone's trial and banishment putting the entire Underworld to sleep including Hades and trying to obtain Persephone's powers for his own so he can leave the Underworld. Persephone is able to trap him in Tartarus again after she consumes the pomegranate and becomes the Queen of the Underworld.
- The Caligula: The trauma left from his father Ouranos's implied abuse combined with the constant paranoia of being betrayed and overthrown took a MASSIVE toll on his sanity. Near the end of his reign, he was completely unhinged and would go on extensive rages where he would scream nonstop for hours.
- Composite Character: Of the primordial god of time Chronos and the titan of harvest Kronos.
- Dem Bones: Resembles a giant skeleton in the present day, as a result of wasting away in Tartarus for ~1500 years.
- Dirty Old Man: The Olympians finally bring him down via Hera seducing him. While his main plan for Persephone was to either drain her powers dry or eat her, his attempts to convince her to join him are very reminiscent of an old businessman trying to trade sex for favors to a co-ed. He also apparently said some horrifying things to Thanatos while possessing Hades.
- The Dreaded: He was this to Rhea and her sons. He is also hated and seen as a tyrant by the current populace of Olympus and the Underworld.
- Domestic Abuse: In his rages, he fatally wounded his wife Rhea.
- Evil Is Petty: While he was horrible to all of his sons, he was especially venomous to Hades. Zeus suspects that this is because Hades looks almost exactly like Ouranos.
- Fate Worse than Death: He's currently stripped of all flesh and imprisoned in lowest level of Tartarus after losing the Titanomachy.
- Fallen Hero: He overthrew his own corrupt father but after it was prophesized that he himself would be usurped by one of his sons, he himself became corrupt in his attempts to hold onto power.
- Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: With the possible exception of eating them alive, Ouranos was as nightmarish to Kronos and his siblings as Kronos was to his sons. Fighting his father off was an experience that Kronos never really recovered from and his terror would eventually seep into all of his motivations and interactions with his subjects. As Hera points out, this DOESN'T excuse his being monstrous to everyone around him.
- Greater-Scope Villain: Kronos was defeated and imprisoned millennia before the story began but Hades and the other Gods are still traumatized by his actions. He does eventually break free from Tartarus before being trapped there again by Persephone.
- As of the second Time Skip, he's currently holding what looks to be a child God's soul hostage in Tartarus and possessing, and possibly attempting to subvert, Hera for unknown reasons.
- Ignore the Fanservice: Rhea tried (unsuccessfully) to seduce him in order to buy Hades enough time to hide.
- The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Inverted. Kronos seemed to be obsessed with two things: obtaining a relationship with Hera and tormenting his firstborn son, Hades. Once he escaped Kronos' body, Hades very happily avoided his father as much as possible, even during the war. Kronos barely cared about Zeus, despite him having masterminded Kronos' defeat and even swallowing a Fertility Goddess to succeed.
- Our Giants Are Bigger: He's the size of a mountain.
- Pet the Dog: He allowed Rhea to raise Hades for six years before going through with his plan to eat him.
- Sanity Slippage: Was apparently losing his mind by the time the Titanomachy took place. Hades cites this as one of the factors which allowed them to succeed against Kronos, despite him being in control of time itself.
- Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: His attempt to subvert Gaia's prophecy about one of his sons usurping him only set the event in motion.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Looks almost exactly like Hades.
- Time Master: Has control over time. He uses this ability to kidnap a younger version of Rhea from the past and his granddaughter (via Hades and Persephone) Melinoe from the future.
- Unrelated in the Adaptation: He is only the father of Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon, not Hera, Demeter, or Hestia.
- Villainous Crush: In the past, on Hera and exploited for all it was worth. It continues after the second Time Skip, to the point that most of his screen time whilst haunting Hera is him demanding her to admit that they were an item. With the reveal of Hera being a Fertility Goddess, it’s possible that this is less about genuine attachment to her and more about hoping to gain her powers.
- What Does She See in Him?: Nobody knows why kind-hearted Rhea chose him for a partner. Hades theorizes he might have been a better person before the prophecy. Rhea herself admits that she indeed thought he was different but realized that she was wrong as he fell into madness.
Rhea
Rhea
- Gentle Giant: Shown to be kind and friendly.
- Giant Woman: Like Kronos, she is mountain sized.
- Good Parents: When she was actually allowed to be, Rhea was a kind and doting mother to Hades and did her best to protect all of her sons. Thanks to Kronos’ shenanigans in the timeline, she’s able to meet Hades as an adult. Rhea reassures him that he ISN’T like Kronos or Ouranos and gives useful advice regarding his marriage and his wife’s powers.
- Killed Off for Real: She was fatally wounded by Kronos in one of his mad rages, leaving her just enough time to meet with Zeus for the first time and instruct him on how to defeat his father before fading away.
- Zig-zagged. Metis reveals she's actually "hibernating" but for the moment, we shouldn't expect her to return very soon.
- Mama Bear: Raised Hades and protected her sons from Kronos despite the prophecy of them overthrowing the Titans for six years.
- Only Mostly Dead: Rhea is referred to by Metis as being in hibernation, implying she's not as dead as was once believed.
- Sizeshifter: Like the other Titans except possibly Helios, she can change her height.
Helios
Helios
- Adaptational Villainy: In the original myths, Helios was a major ally of of the Olympians during the Titanomachy (though his father, Hyperion, fought on the Titan's side) and was even rewarded the island kingdom of Rhodes for his help, and carried the sun on his own accord. During the events of Persephone's abduction his power of omniscience helped a grief-stricken Demeter uncover the true perpetrator behind her daughter's abduction, yet spoke well of Hades' prospects as the former's husband-to-be, as well.
- Comically Small Bribe: Demeter attempted to bribe him to keep quiet over what he saw Persephone do, but it since he's a prisoner there's not much she could bribe him with.
- Dirty Old Man: Openly fantasizes about Rhea and Nyx around Thanatos, Nyx's son, and asks him if his mother is still a spitfire.
- Fantastic Racism: Views the Olympians as traitors and only helped Thanatos because he wasn't one.
- Made a Slave: After the Titanomachy, he was chained up and made to run across the sky each day with Apollo and Astraeus acting as his overseers.
- The Older Immortal: As a Titan, he's been around a lot longer than the Olympians and the minor gods like Thanatos.
- Our Giants Are Bigger: Enormous like all titans.
- Playing with Fire: As he is essentially the sun, no one but sun gods like Apollo can withstand to be around him for very long.
- Unreliable Narrator: Helios’ rendition of Persephone’s actions upon the mortals in chapter 115 is much more brutal and merciless compared to Persephone’s rendition of the same story in chapter 131. We know for a fact that she didn't kill nearly as many people as he described, as Hades had noticed no such sudden influx of souls into the underworld. This is most likely caused by Helios’ bias against the gods that overthrew him. Persephone is Demeter’s daughter, and as such, she (Persephone) is not regarded well in his eyes.
- The Watcher: Due to his position of running across the sky everyday, he can view the goings on of both Earth and Olympus, which is how he saw Persephone's actions.
Prometheus
Prometheus
A titan who was punished by Zeus.- The Ghost: He's been mentioned a few times as a warning about getting Zeus upset. We see a brief image of him in Thanatos' mind, but he has not made an apperance in the comic in person
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: Apparently he and Hades were close friends. When Zeus first pitched the idea of Hades becoming king of the Underworld, his brother suggested that he could just stay on Earth instead and hang out with Prometheus.
- Inventor of the Mundane: He invented pants. It annoyed Zeus at the time because everyone wouldn't stop talking about it.
- Make an Example of Them: Zeus chained him to a rock to be eaten by eagles for a crime not yet revealed in this adaptationnote . Aphrodite panics when Zeus discusses punishing Eros for undermining his authority, and when Thanatos learns that Persephone may suffer a comparable punishment, he immediately has second thoughts.
Metis
Metis
- Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: She survived being eaten by Zeus and instead of remaining a part of him chose to transform herself into a star, she can now only communicate in a specific location for short periods of time.
- Adaptational Species Change: An Oceanid nymph in the myths but a titaness here. (Though to be fair, in the myths it's not impossible to be both.) Plus here she's a fertility goddess instead of a goddess of wisdom/thought like original myths.
- Eaten Alive: According to Demeter, she was consumed by Zeus so he could take advantage of her fertility goddess powers in the war against the Titans. Hecate seems skeptical, but the image is shown again when Hades talks about a time Zeus grew to Titan-size, lending credence to Demeter’s claim.
- Metis herself confirms that this is what happened in chapter 229. She escaped his body by becoming a star.
- Good Parents: She was a very doting mother to Hera and her sisters. She actively prepared Hera for the war to come and helped Hades with his trauma.
- Parents as People: That said, she also told Demeter point-blank that she created her to help Metis kill Kronos. This definitely informed Demeter's style of parenting Kore.
- Hidden Depths: While we often see her a graceful, kind titaness, she reveals a snarkier side in private. Furthermore, like in the myths, she and Zeus were lovers and her love for him were why he was able to use her powers as a fertility goddess.
- Mama Bear: As a Fertility Goddess siding with the Olympians, she knew all along what her ultimate fate would be during the Titanmachy. Which she was fine with, so long as it meant that Zeus would never drain Hera's powers instead.
- Mrs. Robinson: As it turns out, Metis and Zeus were in a relationship. As Hera AND Demeter were interested in Zeus, she hid it from them.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: How does Zeus repay her for all of the aid, comfort, and advice she selflessly gave to him and his brothers? By eating her alive to steal her Fertility Goddess powers for himself.
- Zigzagged as it turns out: While she wasn't happy about how it played out, Metis knew what her fate would likely be from the beginning and had more or less accepted it. Her only request was that Zeus use her and only her powers and to leave Hera alone. While Zeus doesn't treat Hera the way Ouranos treated Gaia, Kronos treated Rhea or even how he treated her mother, Zeus was still at the beginning of the story siphoning Hera's Fertility Goddess powers without her knowledge.
- The Power of Love: Thanks to her being in love with Zeus, he was able to harness her Fertility Goddess powers.
- Related in the Adaptation: She is the mother of Hera, Hestia and Demeter, and grandmother of Persephone, as opposed to Rhea and Kronos.
- Token Good Teammate: To the titans. She's the only one except for Rhea who is shown openly supporting the gods and being kind to them in spite of knowing there would be war.
- Truly Single Parent: She shaped Demeter from the earth, crafted Hestia from elemental flame, and formed Hera out of the stars.
- Winged Humanoid: She has a wide pair of wings on her back.
Leto
Leto
- Adaptational Badass: In myths Leto was a minor mother goddess, mostly worshipped in conjunction with her children. In Lore Olympus she is a Sun Goddess in her own right.
- Adaptational Villainy: In the myths she's called "the kindest soul on Olympus" and loved both her children equally above all. Here she is a social pariah and favors Apollo.
- Birdcaged: Reveals to Apollo that she has a captive Demeter in one of these.
- Black Eyes of Evil: Admittedly the "evil" isn't 100% confirmed, but the biggest visible difference between her and Hera is Leto's jet-black sclera and large, heavily dilated pupils.
- Deadpan Snarker: Apollo's brattiness and callousness bring this out of her.
- Apollo: MOM! Have you seen Artemis today? Did she mention anything to you?
Leto: I'm well, thank you for asking.
- Even Evil Has Standards: If one takes Persephone's nightmare in the Dream Realm as a vision of a potential future, even Leto would be bothered by Apollo abusing Persephone.
- Gaslighting: When Artemis figures out that Apollo hurt Persephone but hasn't fully figured out that it was rape, Artemis naturally becomes very upset. Leto then tells Artemis that getting upset isn't something she should do and backs up Apollo on his Blatant Lies.
- Giant Woman: Averted. Despite being a titaness, she’s the same size as the gods, though it’s possible she simply chooses to be.
- Identical Stranger: Her color scheme is the same as Hera's.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Subverted. She is technically correct that Hades has lots of baggage, much of which he's keeping from Persephone; however, the moment Persephone asks him about it, he opens up without holding anything back, rendering Leto's point completely moot.
- Knight of Cerebus: Just like her son, whenever she shows up, things are going to take a serious turn.
- Light Is Not Good: According to Hades, she's some sort of sun goddess. It currently remains to be seen exactly how evil she is but she's definitely not nice.
- Locked Out of the Loop: While she gives off the impression of turning a blind eye at her son's most unsavoury traits, she looks genuinely caught off guard by just how much Persephone resents Apollo and how little she thinks of him. Episode 167 reveals that Apollo withheld key pieces of information.
- Mysterious Veil: Wears a black lace veil in the present, presumably to avoid attracting attention. It gives her a very ominous look.
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Her attempted manipulation is the final push Persephone needs to finally go into therapy.
- She's spoiled Apollo rotten; this has lead to the sun god being incapable of realizing he's not the most important thing in the room and having poor impulse control. Her plans for her son and Persephone keep getting derailed because Apollo keeps over-playing his hand or doing the worst possible thing at the worst possible time.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: Turns out that her trip to the Underworld wasn't a complete flop after all: she didn't manage to convince Persephone, but she did capture Demeter to use as leverage with Zeus as a plan B. Also, her performance with Persephone was badly hindered by Apollo not telling her just how bad things were between himself and Persephone.
- Poor Communication Kills: Tries to invoke this between Persephone and Hades to break them up. It fails.
- Power Floats: Though not immediately obvious, Leto is seen floating over the pavement while Apollo merely walks. Notably, she's the first being to automatically float.
- Shipper on Deck: In her first appearance she refers to Persephone as her future daughter in law.
- Shipper with an Agenda: Leto leans heavily on Apollo to continue his courtship of Persephone for reasons that clearly go beyond finding her son a good match.
- Smug Snake: If her interaction with Persephone is any indication. Leto might have had an easy time manipulating her own daughter, but her much-anticipated trip to the Underworld boils down to her blending in with the crowd and then pleading Apollo's case in a rather desperate manner, with Persephone easily no selling almost each of Leto's attempts at actual manipulation. She might have scored one only when she dug up Hades and Hera's past affair, but even the effectiveness of that has yet to be seen.
- Not even that works: Hades and Pesephone talk it out and get over it.
- Granted, Leto started at a huge disadvantage, as it turns out Apollo either lied or completely locked her out of the loop in regards of how bad things were between himself and Persephone. Other than that, Leto can be quite The Chessmaster, as proven by her capturing Demeter for Apollo to turn in to Zeus.
- Uncanny Valley Makeup: It's not easy to notice, but her lipstick is jet black, literally matching her eyes and giving her a subtle Nightmare Face.
- We Used to Be Friends: Leto and Hera used to be very close long ago, until Leto had an affair with Zeus. In response, Hera turned on her and banished her from Olympian society.
Selene
Selene
- Always Second Best: Artemis compares herself (and her relationship with Apollo) to her and her secondary position with Helios.
- Ethereal White Dress: All in white with a gauzy veil.
- Flat Character: So far has only appeared twice: in one panel in Artemis' mind in chapter 154, and in the beginning of chapter 230 in the background when Persephone goes to meet her mother.
Primordials
Nyx
Nyx
- Angelic Abomination: Similar to other primordials shown in the series. In her case she's gargantuan, seems to be partially not solid, has gigantic wings, a few extra eyes and sharp teeth. Applies in personality as well as appearance as she's often a comforting presence but every so often will show a more deranged side: hinting at darker intentions beneath.
- Elemental Embodiment: Of night.
- Eyes Do Not Belong There: She has additional eyes on her cheeks and between her eyebrows, collectively having five eyes on her face. The art style keeps it from being visceral, but shows her as being something different from the gods and those below them.
- Light Girl, Dark Boy: Gender inverted. Nyx, who embodies the night, seemed to share a close, possibly sexual or romantic, relationship with Helios, who embodies the sun.
- The Older Immortal: Remembers Hades as an adorable, very pensive child.
- Parental Abandonment: Decided to leave her son Thanatos into Hades's care and is implied to have never come back for him since for yet unknown reasons.
- The Sacred Darkness: She seems to be a comforting dark presence for Hades, since he appeared by her pool when he was having a traumatic break. Additionally, she seems to be a kind, if a bit mysterious, titan, holding no ill will towards Hades for being a traitor.
Ouranos
Ouranos
- Angelic Abomination: Has a gigantic ring around him and has three pairs of empty eyes. His hair is clouds as well.
- Arch Nemesis Dad: Was overthrown by his son Kronos.
- Elemental Embodiment: Of the sky.
- Eyes Do Not Belong There: He has two additional pair of eyes below and above his "regular" eyes.
- Greater-Scope Villain: Technically, as the first ruler of the gods, most of the following kings' dysfunction can be traced back to him. Episode 253 implies him to be this for Season 3.
- Marriage of Convenience: Married Gaia to weaponize her powers. Averted, it's revealed later by Metis that there must be a genuine romantic connection for a god to benefit from marrying a fertility goddess. Even if that god is in denial of his own feelings, as it's implied Ouranos was.
- Spell My Name With An S: His name is the original Greek translation, rather than the more common name "Uranus" used nowadays.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Shrink him and give one pair of eyes instead of three and he would easily pass for his grandson Hades.
Gaia
Gaia
- Angelic Abomination: At first she seems just to be a multicolored goddess until you realize that floods are running across her body and her eyes are red and may or may not have three pupils.
- Creator Deity: Likes making things, for better or worse.
- Destructive Romance: Her marriage to Ouranos. She loved him, but he abused her and her powers. Hera believes that she have been denigrated down to her elemental purpose as a result of the way he treated her.
- Elemental Embodiment: Of the Earth.
- His Story Repeats Itself: Unwittingly created the cycle of Fertility Goddesses and their God-King abusers.
- Marriage of Convenience: Ouranos married her for her powers.
- The Power of Love: Appears to be responsible for the very concept of Love and made it a requirement to bond with a Fertility Goddess for their powers. Metis notes this makes it explicitly impossible for someone that a Fertility Goddess well and truly hates to get her powers.
- Questionable Consent: Demeter's re-telling leaves it unclear whether her Marriage of Convenience to Ouranos was voluntary or not. As it turns out, it WAS but it didn't end well.
- Seers: Made a prophecy that Kronos would be overthrown by his own son.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Poseidon is the only one to have inherited her coloring. He’s also associated with water, like her creator.
Hydros
Hydros
The primordial deity of water.- Elemental Embodiment: Of water.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Dismissed the idea of Love that Gaia created which was harsh. They were completely right about Ouranos, however.
- Mother of a Thousand Young: The creator of Gaia.
Tartarus
Tartarus
The primordial deity of the underworld.- Gender Flip: Tartarus seems to be genderless here, but in the myths he was male and the lover of the goddess Nemesis.
- Genius Loci: They're commanding the bowels of Tartarus and have no "form" of their own.
Erebos
Erebos
The primordial god of darkness. He made a deal with Hades when he first came to the underworld.- Abstract Apotheosis: Appears to be the disembodied spirit of the Underworld itself, acting as its voice. He can however take a relatively corporal form if he chooses.
- Ambiguously Related: In the myths he was the husband and brother of Nyx and fathered many of her children. It's yet to be revealed if he is Thanatos' father or if he's even related to Nyx.
- Angelic Abomination: We get our first good look of him in Chapter 240. Like the other Primordials, he's huge. He's a Titan-sized black skeleton whose lower body is comprised several, slightly smaller skeletons. His eye sockets and various bits of him glow with blue-white light and he wears a black, gauzy shroud.
- Deal with the Devil: He had Hades consume a pomegranate that would grant him power to command Tartarus in exchange for... something unspecified.
- METIS is concerned when Persephone reveals she may have made a deal with him.
- Dem Bones: According to Persephone's dream, his natural appearance.
- Elemental Embodiment: Of darkness.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Whether he's actually evil or not is currently up for discussion, but he doesn't like Ouranos OR Kronos either. This is partially why he decides to help Persephone and possibly why he accepted Hades imprisoning Kronos in Tartarus.
- Pet the Dog: He genuinely respects Persephone for how much she tries to protect Hades and the Underworld, since as a Fertility Goddess, it would be easy for her to stay in Olympus and the Mortal World and never look back. As a result, he gives Persephone's powers a one-time boost before her fight with Kronos to make sure she wins.
- The Voice: How is never seen, but he speaks to and introduces himself to Hades. Persephone is eventually able to meet with and speak with him.
Hypnos
Hypnos
God of sleep, son of Nyx and brother of Thanatos.
- Angelic Abomination: Larger than most gods with multiple wings, in some panels, he is shown with multiple eyes as well. He generally seems closer to his mother in type than his daughter (who conforms to the more "modern" idea of a god in size and power).
- Mother of a Thousand Young: In this case the father, as the only named parent of the Massive Numbered Siblings the Oneiroi.
- Naked People Are Funny: The seriousness of his conversation with Hades is undercut with the fact that Hypnos spends the entire conversation naked AND floating. Hades has to make a point to keep his eyes on Hypnos' face and to look away when he can't.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Looks exactly like Thanatos with the exception of being a bit bigger and occasionally have more than two eyes.
Nereus
Nereus
Ancient Sea God and father of the Nereids.
- Humanoid Abomination: Has disturbingly long tentacles instead of arms.
- Mother of a Thousand Young: Or father in this case, the father of the Nereids as a nymph sub-species and has shown noticeable trouble in keeping all his daughters straight.
- The Older Immortal: Predates Poseidon as a sea god and has since retired.
- Parental Favoritism: Openly admits Amphitrite is his favorite.
