Bow before the Father of Gods and Men. Mighty Zeus, you descend to earth In lightning, exploding the deep. Our hearts beat wildly before you. Everlasting is your power, Father of the Deathless Ones. From your head sprang forth Pallas Athena, And in your thigh you hid the infant Dionysus. By you cities are lost or won. Be moved by our prayer, Bull roaring Heaven Lord. Nod your august head, And bless us here. -- Chris Marbutt {{Roleplay blog of Zeus, The Father of Gods & Men, from Greek mythology, comic and movie depictions.}} Revamp in progress

I do not stand before you on a matter of business, son.

Zeus. Is there something I can do for you?
Zeus mildly smiled in return, he motioned for the young man to stop as he, himself crossed his arms and looked at the younger. "I've been doing well. What about you?"

Iacchos smiled politely at his father and walked forward to him. “Hello Father”, said the younger God. “How do you fare?”
Had you not been impatient, you would have received one. So instead, I shall wish you a good night.
Typical.
However, such things are too predictable for me to dwell upon … I shall retire for the night with my husband.
Goodnight.
Then learn to speak more quietly, Thanatos.
I do it all the time what’s going to stop me now?
Apollo, you've been keeping to your duties, have you not?

Hello, Father.
Do you enjoy speaking to yourself as if we can not hear you and your thoughts?
tonight is a night of dads
daddy issues with Gabe then Thanny goes and talks to his daddy and now Zeus and it’s like Father’s night or something

The King of Olympus didn't feel threatened or wary of the booming voice of the man his opposite; no, instead he was quite comfortable with it, the voice's strength matched his own. The man was his equal, even though Zeus was accustomed to the respect and adoration given to him from the Olympians and men, he liked how the man before him treated him as an equal.
"I've been faring well. How have things been going for you?"

Shiv grinned as the Olympian approached him. It had been ages since he had met any of the Gods from the western lands. He’s been swamped with his duties leaving him no time to visit, unless it was for meetings of the head’s of the various pantheons. “Hello, Zeus”, said the Destroyer in his usual booming voice. “It’s been a long time since last we met. How are you, Olympian?”
"That I am," he looked her over, "the same goes for you, I can tell you are of a greater power but yet I've never come across you before."

I welcome you good Ser. Your aura is particularly strong, be you a god?
Zeus stood straight, his eyes bright as he looked at the whining God before him. "I resent that statement, seeing as how I take a good deal of care when regarding my children. Whether they are aware of it or not."

Ugh. The God giving my own father a run for his money in the “bad dad” competition. The hell do you want, Zeus?
He responded with a smile as well, "indeed it has been. You look stunning, as always."
Macha sensed that another deity was near, and she turned around, recognising his face. “Zeus. It has been quite some time.” she said, a smile on her lips.
It is merely a trip for pleasure that brings me here, Kali. I have decided to check on the rest of the land I oversee.

Zeus… to what do I owe the pleasure?
Alright, so after creating this blog with the influence of my friends I thought I should create a multi-listing for Gods and mythological roleplay blogs. If you're interested in joining please send a message so I can add you to the masterlist.
PS. I need to finish some things before replying to you guys but for the meantime, hello!
Just what are we? A multi-listing of independent roleplayers of the religious and mythological sort!
What are we doing? We wish to help better expose you and your roleplay blog to the others within tumblr to help line up your interests.
Who are we looking for? The roleplayers taking on characters that aren’t of the tumblr norm. There are few of us religious and/or mythological roleplayers, so why not join together and have some fun?!
Interested in joining? All you need to do is shoot us a message from your roleplay blog!
"Was it not you, yourself that chose your faith? You make it seem as if I had exiled you to rule the Underworld when it was your own hand that picked your faith."
The ruler of the Olympians eyed his brother, not budging and standing in place. Showing that he has no fear of the other and if a fight were to break out, the others would quickly show up to protect their Father.
He stopped, as if considering his brother’s request, before simply replying with, “No.”
He paced before Zeus slowly, his ashen robes flowing over the gleaming floors of Olympus. Everything on Olympus was gleaming and pristine and he was decaying and decrepit.
”I sought only to see my old home. You expect to lock me in that prison of a kingdom and not miss the very mountain I was raised?”

"We all have things for which we are willing to make exceptions for. I'm sure you can find it in your heart to release her from your entrapment." Just because he was ready, didn't mean he would attack his own without any real reason. Zeus is well aware that Hades and Persephone are now married and past the abduction but the sense of betrayal remains within Zeus' heart.
"What business do you seek on Olympus? You should have called Hermes instead of making an unwanted appearance."
”And yet your daughter was the one who ate the fruit of the Underwold, binding her there. Or does that fact slip the mind of the almighty Zeus?”
He was pushing him, his very voice taunting Zeus to take action against him.
"Things could be different between you and I. Zeus does not tolerate abductions of the Olympians let alone my kin. Return my daughter if you wish to consider Mount Olympus your home once more, brother."
Zeus stared coldly at his older brother, ready to call upon some lightning if the other were to make a move.
He could himself getting under skin of the king of the Gods. His stern stoic expression shifted almost imperceptibly to one of mischief. He almost smirked.
”You would have me banished to the Underworld yet I cannot visit the home of my childhood as I please?
Zeus had been on guard just as much as Hades had. The brothers had a bit of a stressful relationship and the abduction of Persephone only helps add fuel to the fire. "Do you have any business here on Olympus? If not, I think it's time to shorten this unexpected visit."
