Added DiffLines:

!!Dumuzid
The Babylonian God of agriculture and shepherds, the former husband of Ishtar. He isn't directly called by his name, but Ishtar references him during one of her ingame taunt quotes.

* DraggedOffToHell: Ishtar's single quote which references him without saying his name (possibly because she's that angered towards him) mentions Dumuzid ending up in the underworld after betraying her.
* HappilyMarried: Was this with Ishtar, until he did something which pissed her off and got him banished.


Added DiffLines:

* GodOfTheDead: The queen of the Mesopotamian afterlife, with her husband Nergal being the king.
* TheUnderworld: She rules over Irkalla, the place where all humans from Babylon went after they died.

!!Nut
Goddess of the sky and lover of Geb. Unfortunately, Ra found this relationship unhealthy and forcefully separated them. Geb is pissed at Ra as a result, but for some reason, it seems that Nut's on Ra's side . . .

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of the sky. [[RareFemaleExample Unusual as typically the main sky god in a lot of religions is male]], but Egypt had a distinct thing for sky goddesses.
* TheCameo: Appeared in the skybox of the Domination game mode, which is no longer playable.
* MoreThanMindControl: While unclear on the details, Nut seems to agree with some of Ra's sentiments that she should separate from Geb, though the latter does not understand why, making him think that Ra manipulated or brainwashed her.
* OppositesAttract: Zigzagged. Geb's the earth and she's the sky and their relationship seemed to work at first. But Ra found it to be "unfit" and Nut changed her mind and agreed with him. Geb still doesn't see what was wrong with their union and thinks Ra brainwashed Nut into agreeing with him.
* StarCrossedLover: With Geb. Not only are they of opposing natures, but their relationship is forbidden by Ra. He physically sent another god, Shu, to literally come between them and keep them apart. Geb can only look up at the sky longingly now.

Bonus Boss was split between Optional Boss and Superboss.


The snake of chaos and Egypt's GodOfEvil. Ra and his children constantly battle him for the world's safety. The last time he was heard, Bastet and Anhur seemed to have slain him for good. However, he returns as the BonusBoss in the new Egyptian-based Clash map.

* BonusBoss: Takes the place of the Fire Giant in the new Clash map.

Baleful Polymorph was renamed per TRS


* BalefulPolymorph: Artemis cursed Actaeon to take the form of a stag with no hope of turning back. While deer can be dangerous and unpredictable animals in real life, in this myth he was helpless once transformed and was quickly dispatched by his dogs.

* BalefulPolymorph: However Od turned into a sea monster, it probably wasn't anything he could control and it's likely Freya would never be able to turn him back no matter what she did.

!!Ereshkigal
The Babylonian Goddess of the Underworld and the sister of Ishtar. When Ishtar descended to the underworld to expand her domain, Ereshkigal found her guilty and sentenced her to death, trapping her inside the underworld. It took certain gods loyal to Ishtar, like Enki, to rescue her from there. She is mentioned by Ishtar if the latter gets killed in combat.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* SadlyMythtaken: Much like Od above, almost everything about the King Midas myth presented in ''Smite'' is grossly inaccurate, [[UpToEleven even with there being several different versions of the myth existing in real life]]. As stated above, Midas was made villainous even though nothing in the sources gave off this impression of him; he willingly helped a lost god that was a friend of another and was rewarded for it. Bacchus also warned Midas about his wish, which is missing from ''Smite'''s version because it would cease to make sense; instead it seems Bacchus granted him the wish as a way to punish him (which, considering other Greek gods' punishments, comes off as ''incredibly'' light). In short, there was NoAntagonist in the actual myths, but in ''Smite'' Midas is more or less elevated to that status.

Dewicked trope


* SuddenNameChange: Apollo's lore correctly spelling her name when his sister's botched it makes it come across as this trope as well, considering she's only mentioned in these two characters' lores and Apollo wasn't made playable until almost a year after Artemis. And Leta isn't a valid alternate spelling of her name. Myth/ClassicalMythology's clear her name's Let'''o''', though Zeus did have another fling named Leda. [[WildMassGuessing Maybe Hi-Rez got the two mixed-up?]] [[LoadsAndLoadsofCharacters (Not that you]] [[ReallyGetsAround can't blame them.)]]
