The Son of Olympus

The Family Tree Of Perseus AKA: Dad's sad tale

Look. I'm a pretty chill dude. I don't get mad or upset too often, but when my so called godly brother and sister pop out of thin air, and say my other brother, who is also a god, wants to kill me, I freak. But wouldn't you?
So, once Thing One and Two poofed out of Camp half-blood, Chiron decided to help me out. He stood in front of the black board, and tried explaining things. "Okay Aaron, you are the son of Perseus, god of Heroes and time. Perseus was born a demigod, but accomplished such heroic feats Zeus granted him godhood. Since he used to be a demigod, and a very liked hero, he became the god of Heroes, a sort of protector of all demigods.
He became the god of time, because he defeated the Titan of Time, Kronos, which earned him godhood in the first place. "
"Nike, the goddess of victory, fell deeply in love with him. His heart had been broken by his mortal love, and she had been there to capture the broken pieces. But Aphrodite, goddess of love had her eyes set on him. Perseus fell for Aphrodite. Aphrodite bore him a child, Ambros, God of heartbreak. But Perseus eventually fell in love with Nike. He wed her, and their wedding was on Olympus. I was actually there, beautiful ceremony. Perseus had four children with his wife. He was very faithful to Nike."
I interrupted Chiron. "Then how was I born?" The old centaur sighed. "Well, Aphrodite wasn't happy with Nike. Aphrodite actually grew very fond of Perseus. Aphrodite had a child with him. But Nike, a minor goddess, replaced her in Perseus's heart. She felt scorned. Aphrodite wanted Nike to know that Perseus will never be totally hers. Aphrodite had her son Eros, shoot Perseus with one of his arrows. Perseus fell for Aphrodite. She seduced them, and she gave birth to another child. Phaedrus, God of Affairs. Nike was furious. She and Aphrodite fought, and Perseus went to Earth to protect his ears from the goddesses screaming."
"He fell for a demigod girl, Mira, a daughter of Apollo. He had a child with her, Julien. He was the first demigod child of Perseus. His only demigod, until you, of course. But Perseus never fell for a demigod again, after Julien. He learned his lesson when Julien got involved in the Giant War. He lead an army of 2,000 demigods, Greek and Roman, with Perseus's blessing. They were horribly outnumbered, I am afraid to say. They were all slaughtered, along with Julien. Perseus was crushed. His tears reached the Earth, and created a valley, from the previously flat ground. He turned each of the demigods into a jewelled flower, each one different. His son was the one solid golden flower. It's a beautiful place, for a grave. It would be even more beautiful if it weren't for the bright red soil, for the blood of all the demigods permanently stained the land."
My eyes widened. That was hard core. In a bad way. I tried to imagine my father's sadness. I couldn't, for it must have been so great. Chiron continued.
"Perseus was so heartbroken, because since he was the god of Heroes, he could feel their pain, their death, their prayers to him to help. When he came, it was too late. They were all laying on the field, dying. So to relieve them off their pain, he turned them into flowers. "
"Afterwards, he could barely see, because of his tears. He stumbled into the underworld. His cries of pain and suffering caught the attention of Eris, goddess of Chaos. She pitied the young God. She tried comforting him, but his pain was too great for even her to heal. Eris fell for him. She gave birth to his child, a son named Archer. He was born from his Father's tears, and his mother's jealousy. Yes, jealousy. Eris envied Nike, who was her love's wife, and Aphrodite, who Eris thought would have no trouble comforting Perseus. The moment Eris gave birth, Perseus felt a wave of guilt. He loved his wife, leaving Eris spiteful. Archer became the God of Jealousy. Perseus continued his journey through the Underworld, his cries once again flooding the Underworld. Nemesis, goddess of revenge, answered his cries. She took him in, and tried comforting him. She, like Eris, fell for him. She gave him a child, a girl, Daphnis. Goddess of Peace. Even though the child soothed him, Perseus's heart once more filled with guilt, for he loved his wife. He left again, wandering the world. He encountered nymphs, monsters and immortals alike, all who tried to win his heart, but his heart still yearned for Nike."
"Finally, Hecate, goddess of Magic found him. She offered to lead him out of the Underworld with her torches, but only if he would stay with her for 10 months. With those 10 months, Hecate used every hour, trying to win his heart. She earned his love, but not his heart. She gave him two children, both daughters, hoping that out of love for his daughters, he would stay. But Perseus refused. He loved Hecate deeply, and their children even more. But he needed to stay with his wife, and he would not play favoritism with his children. Bitterly, Hecate lead him to the gates of the Underworld. He left the Underworld, but had sired many children with his rescuers. He found his way to his wife, and he continued residing in Olympus."
I blinked, slowly. My dad did kind of a mean thing, ditching all those goddesses. I know he did it out of respect for his wife, but it was still pretty cold. Those goddesses were also to fault, though. They basically whored him out for help. But the children? My siblings? "So Archer is the god of Jealousy. Is he that bad?" I asked Chiron. Chiron looked miserable. "I taught Archer. I taught a lot of Perseus's children. I taught Perseus himself, when he was just a demigod son of Poseidon. He went by a different name, then."
I was curious. "What was his name?" Chiron smiled, a twinkle in his eye. "When I taught him, he went by the name Percy Jackson."
