There would be Zeus/Hercules slash.
(doesn't know anything about Greek Mythology outside of movies)
Tons of Hera rule 34.
TONS.
Implying there isn't a fandom?
Sheesh. Greek gods have already been confirmed for best gods.
Stop caring and embrace nullness.And all of it would probably be OOC, since she gets pissed whenever Zeus finds himself another woman. That, or it'd make her a hypocrite.
"i'm like the pimpmaster hustledaddy of all snippy bookshrews" -Dave StriderI happened to have read on the Politicians section of One Of Us that Julius Caesar wrote fanfics of Hercules in his youth. I suppose fanfics and shipping are both Older Than Steam concepts.
I now go by Graf von Tirol.Does my weird obsession with Medusa count for anything here?
Stupid doomed timeline...The Iliad was basically a Crisis Crossover.
Gimme yer lunch money, dweeb.Hades gets the Draco in Leather Pants treatment immediately; Hephaestus becomes a favourite of many sympathetic fans due to his ill-treatment at the hands of the other Olympians. Almost like Eponine in Les Miz.
"And every life is a special story of its own." —The Stargazer, Mass Effect 3Hades isn't evil... Like at all. He is pretty much the least dickish of all the gods.
Not that the gods are dickish. The gods are amazing and cool, and they totally don't smite people for stupid shit.
Stop caring and embrace nullness.zeus/hera otp
Alt account of Angeldog 2437.Hades kidnapped a girl and raped her made her his woman!

Nah, Zeus/Danaƫ. Turning into a literal shower of gold just to be with a woman shows commitment.

Gimme yer lunch money, dweeb.To be fair, what he did was basically normal for the ancient Greeks. And in some interpretations, it was entirely consensual, with Persephone wanting to get away from her mother.
(I'm actually a modern-day Hades/Persephone shipper, for the record.)

"We're home, Chewie."Still makes him pretty bad, Values Dissonance be damned.
Well, okay, if you go with the kidnapping thing, yeah. It was pretty bad. But while all of the gods were pretty nasty, Hades was perhaps one of the least nasty. I won't say he was perfect, but Zeus, Hera, Dionysus, Artemis, Apollo, and Athena (to name but a few) either did worse things than he did, or did bad things more frequently than he did.
Hades was also pretty friendly towards mortals and demigods, Heracles and Orpheus being examples.
(And again, alternate myth interpretations!)
"We're home, Chewie."Yeah, values dissonance is never really a good defence. Though I agree that there are various interpretations and it's usually presented as (after initial awkwardness) by and large consensual.
Gimme yer lunch money, dweeb.Hades was okay compared to the rest of the Gods, but he was still bad enough.
I think maybe Demeter was the nicest of them... although I remember something about her cursing one guy to eat himself out of some crappy reason or something.
And I might add that Hades was very faithful to Persephone. No myths at all about him cheating or even being with anyone else before meeting her.
Hmm...should it be Hasephone or Persephades?
I've not actually heard many myths involving Demeter besides the Hades/Persephone one, now that I think about it. As a god of harvest, you'd think she'd be super-popular and get a lot of good myths...
EDIT: Also, I think Hermes might also be in the running for nicest god. He actually didn't do many contemptible things that I can think of, and he helped out my favorite hero (Perseus) at one time, so he's all right by me.

"We're home, Chewie."Do Greek neopagans count as 'Internet fandom'?
Halper's Law: as the length of an online discussion of minority groups increases, the probability of "SJW" or variations being used = 1.I don't know if I'd say religious adherents count as a "fandom," per se...

...phone.
I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.
"We're home, Chewie."He was a thief, merchant, lawyer, and guide for the dead, but nothing contemptible.

Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the GreatI am totally a fan. And I would do fanart if I could actually draw.
Also, yaoi fanboys and girls would be ALL over it. :P
Feminist in the streets, sex slave in the sheetsWell, there was Zeus and Ganimede. (Or is it Ganymede? I get the name confused with that of the Kid Icarus Uprising enemy sometimes...)
Although I think the Yaoi fans would be more into Egyptian mythology. Most blatant case of Foe Yay ever.
"We're home, Chewie."Zeus and Ganymede were "lovers" by kidnap; Apollo, Hyacinthus, zephyrus is a love triangle of godly proportions; Achilles and Patroclus can be assumed to be lovers, but even if they weren't, there was a LOT of Ho Yay; Pan taught Daphnis how to jack off; Hylas was Heracles' twink-boy; and Dionysus is like the ULTIMATE pretty boy. :P Even Hermes and Poseidon got their own male-harems.
But I do admit the Horus-Set hate-sex is pretty awesome.
