Zeus additions

[Votron5]

I'll give it a shot.

 

[Antvasima]

Thanks.

 

[Ultima_Reality]

Well, once I finished some stuff I was planning on reading more into Greek Mythology, or Mythology as a whole, really, considering the overall state of the profiles as they are right now

So... I am not the best person to ask for input, at this Time.

 

[Votron5]

Hmm, maybe just leave this thread in standby until Matthew, Ultima, or some other qualified person can give their opinion on the subject? I can use this time to search for extra quotes and find more feats and abilities Zeus has that I missed.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.

 

[Hellbeast1]

Also I think Zeus should have Power Negation since he could kill Phaethon (A minor deity and son of Helios), Hades also scales since in some versions he kills Asclepius when he was a God (Though mostly it's when he's human and then he becomes a God)

Also does anyone know if there's any documents regarding Herakles as a God? (I know he's comparable to the others but I don't know what powers or feats he gains here)

 

[Antvasima]

Can somebody summarise the suggested changes here?

 

[Hellbeast1]

So Greek Zeus may have:

Possibly Universe level attack potency

law, fire, water, light, darkness, and earth manipulation, Omnipresence, Omniscience or Nigh-Omniscience, Mid-Godly Regenerationn, Telekinesis, Cosmic Awareness, Non-corporeal (In his true form), Power Negation

Orphic Zeus may have:

Creation and Life Manipulation

Absorbtion

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I am not qualified to clear those changes though. We need some knowledgeable staff members to do so.

 

[Hellbeast1]

Perhaps we can contact some of the more knowledgable members

 

[Antvasima]

Well, I only know of Matthew and Ultima, but you can check the Knowledgeable Members List and the Mythology verse page if you wish.

 

[Votron5]

No knowledgable members have given their critique yet?

 

[Votron5]

Found another quote

Zeus resurrected and granted immortality to Eos' son, Memno

"Then Memnon, the son of Eos, wearing armour made by Hephaistos, comes to help the Trojans, and Thetis tells her son about Memnon. A battle takes place in which Antilokhos is slain by Memnon and Memnon by Akhilleus. Eos then obtains of Zeus and bestows upon her son immortality."

- Arctinus of Miletus, The Aethiopis Frag 1 (from Proclus, Chrestomathia 2)

 

[Antvasima]

Have you asked Matthew and Ultima to comment here?

 

[Votron5]

Not recently, I'll ask them again.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

I agree with most of what's here but I really don't have time for this right now, sorry.

 

[Ultima_Reality]

The additions seem reasonable, yeah.

 

[Elizhaa]

If Zeus got mid-godly regen, then other gods should have the same Regenerationn since they share the same nature as @ZacharyGrossman273 commented: Regenerationn (Mid Godly, Not even gods can kill other gods and this includes gods of death who can affect souls)

 

[Hellbeast1]

While I'm here might I point out that the Gods should have Posion Manip for their Ichor? Ichor being the mystical blood of the Gods which if memory serves can actually kill Demigods.

 

[Antvasima]

@Matthew & Ultima

Thank you for the replies.

I could probably change this for the other greek god profiles

Could I get a quote or source on that?

 

[Hellbeast1]

I'm not sure of a source but I've hjeard it stated (I'll do some research and bring my findings here)

 

[Votron5]

@Matthew & Ultima
Thank you for the replies.

Does this mean it is OK to add my suggestions to the profile?

 

[Kepekley23]

Maybe, but you have to understand that in Greek cosmology, they thought the earth was surronded by an infinite ocean and above that was an infinite "Heaven of heavens"

. These were part of the universe.
You do realize this screenshot is not Greek Cosmology but a screenshot from a Biblical cosmology analysis group, right?

The greek version would be somewhat different.

 

[Votron5]

A mistake on my part. I think I found a more accurate version of Ancient Greek cosmology before the Hellenistic period.

As you can see, the Greek and Biblical universe model are pretty similar.


They believed in a disc earth with a sky dome (Which was thought to be Uranus) with the stars dotting it. They also thought a "Boundless sea" surronded the earth (Which is Oceanus) and the pillars of heaven which were held up by Atlas.

 

[Elizhaa]

bump

 

[Antvasima]

Well, since Matthew and Ultima have agreed, I think that this should probably be fine to apply.

 

[Votron5]

So can you open the profile?

 

[Antvasima]

Which mythology profiles scale from this, and which of them are locked?

 

[Hellbeast1]

All up it's just Zeus (Locked), Typhon (Unlocked), Hades (Unlocked) and maybe Gaia and Kronos (Both unlocked)

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I will unlock Zeus then. Tell me here when you are done.

 

[Hellbeast1]

I personally don't feel too comfortable with undertaking the edits myself so I'd recommend leaving it to someone more qualified.

 

[Antvasima]

Yes, I intended that Votron5 could handle it.

 

[Hellbeast1]

It's advisable yes

 

[Votron5]

I'm done, lock it up

 

[Votron5]

I'll edit the hades, kronos, gaia, and typhon profiles tomorrow.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. You can mention here when you are done with them.

 

[ZacharyGrossman273]

Shouldn't orphic zeus have Conceptual Manipulation (Type 2) and Abstract Existence?
