Sing of the god of the stars

by Anaklusmos and Strychnos

Tell of the story of Perseus, a god amongst the gods. Tell of his deeds, which resound across the lands, as even the fair nymph Olympus herself bows to the Lord of Winter. Tell of how he walks among the stars, guiding heroes who seek his guidance, who seek to navigate our world. Sing of Perseus, O Muses, Sing.

"If there is nothing to die for, there is nothing to live for."

Perseus Apollyon, Son of Zeus and Nyx, God of Stars, Night, and Nocturnal Lightning.

Also known as Summanus.

The fourth among the Olympians.

Eldest son of Zeus, he was born before his fathers siblings were freed.

He fought in the Titanomachy, holding down Kronos while Zeus dismembered him, earning himself the sickle of Kronos as Zeus cast the scythe into Tartarus.

He built the walls of Troy with Apollo and Poseidon, standing with his son, Sarpedon, against all of the forces of Mycenae and Sparta, Pylos and Achaea, all of the Greek host.

He fought his banes, Asterius and Azeus, alongside Dionysus in the Gigantomachy.

He battled Hyperion, when said Titan would have attacked the birthing Leto and Artemis.

He searched for Persephone alongside Demeter, bringing Winter where he walked throughout the mortal plane.

His two children, Sarpedon and Zenobia, brought glory to his name.

He was known among demigods as the god of tragic heroes—his children were perfect examples of such.

This is the story of the God of Night, Stars, Valor, Camaraderie, Nocturnal Lightning, and Winter.

His rivalry and romance with Athena.

His battles with Oceanus and Hyperion, as his symbol of power, Astron.

How he subdued the three brothers, Perses, Astraeus, and Pallas, so they forever remained neutral to Olympus.

Enter the saga of Perseus, the destroyer.

In the end, a god of war.

"Why should I weep when my tears would dilute the blood of a worthy enemy as it splatters across the gold and marble, ivory and ebony, of the accursed throne room of those too arrogant to be damned? My family?"
