A/N: 

Sad depictions of each of the 12 Olympian Gods + Hestia and Hades! If any are wondering, it's Greek Mythology

Zeus

Enforcing the law,

Pressure coming in from all.

Duty, not pleasure.


Poseidon

Unrestrainable,

Younger brother's bias rule,

My elder banished.


Hades

Loneliness filled me.

Dealing with the dead and souls,

Did all forget me?


Hera

Traitorous husband,

Arrogant, misshapen sons,

Not a family.


Demeter

Do you know me well?

My daughter taken away.

Eat some cereal.


Hestia

I was the eldest,

No power, no throne, no life.

Left out of the myths.


Aphrodite

Born from foam and blood,

My domain causes sorrow,

Lust and Desire.


Ares

War, violence is evil.

But it is my very soul.

Not what I wanted.


Hephaestus

My wife loves Ares,

All my gifts forgotten,

She cares about looks.


Artemis

The horror of males,

Things that can't be forgotten.

My sisters are gone.


Apollo

My blind confidence,

To hide my pain and sorrow.

Happiness left me.


Athena

My books are knowledge.

Can never handle disgrace.

Hubris causes monsters.


Hermes

Rushing everywhere,

Insufficient time, energy.

I hate my duty.


Dionysus

Rather be mortal,

Watching my lovers all die.

Can not interfere.
