Summary
Athena dies during God Games, but it seems that her death has awoken something deeper, more sacred: a mother’s rage. Metis’ rage.
Now, ignited by grief with the first Queen of Olympus and ex-goddess of wisdom by their side, the Olympians may finally be ready to overthrow Zeus.

Summary
Okay so I've been thinking a lot about the Greek Gods and there dynamics lately. I know the myth says Athena sprung from Zeus's head as a young adult but what if that wasn't the case. What if she spent the first few years with her mother in Zeus's head before being ousted from that home and into the world.

Summary
basically js the end of love in paradise but Calypso is Ares for pain and Polites is Pallas, Poseidon is Eurylochus, and Anticlea is Metis. I’m going to stab my own heart out to bring you pain.
anyways, “/“ means a relationship and “&” means friendship so for those who think I’m shipping them, no I’m not I’ve seen people like those on my past fics.

To have your heart go walking around outside your body by Mahfiruz for Mer_acle

Summary
So the brilliant neal-illustrator drew a picture of Zeus helping baby Athena learn to walk with the caption, "The tale says that Athena popped out of Zeus’s head an adult but rumor on Olympus is we just didn’t get to meet her till she was grown."
And that inspired me to write a fic where Athena pops out of Zeus's head as a 7 month old.

Summary
˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.
Odysseus of Ithaca, his family by his side. A family more loving than the one the gods were born into. And is that not tragic? They are supposed to be more than humans in every way and yet, somehow, this is the part where they’ve failed. Laud to them, the mightiest of all: divine and powerful and above all mortal, ageless and holy and fated to be great. Laud to them, the mightiest of all: a father who struck down his child and her siblings who stood by and did nothing but watch. What does it mean, to be a god? He does not have an answer.
˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.
Faintly, Apollo realises that Athena does not think of her family as she dies – but of a mortal man and his wife and son; of a carved wooden owl and olive trees; of an infant in her arms and bright smiles.
˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.
(or: Gods are complex beings. That does not mean being siblings means nothing- not when their sister is suffering their fathers wrath. It is wrong: they will not stop it. All they can do is collect what's left in the aftermath, and pray that it may heal.)

So this is an accompanying peace for my The Owling fic, that takes place post God Games. It references several scenes from The Owling so I would go and read it so that it will make more sense and hit harder.

Summary
Poseidon hasn’t seen Metis in many years. No one has, since she, presumably, got tired of putting up with Zeus. This became less presumable when her daughter emerged from Zeus’s skull.
————————————————————————
I found a version of Athena’s birth in which Poseidon was her father. I immediately had to make that work.
