Editing Scion (section)

====Dodekatheon (1e)/ Theoi (2e)====
The Greek pantheon, known for being a shining example of how being family doesn't prevent people from hating each other's guts, especially due to their persistently swollen egos. During World War II, they participated on behalf of Italy after Caligula poisoned and impersonated Zeus. Their gods include:

*'''Aphrodite/Venus''': Goddess of love and sex. Married to Hephaestus, but has a long-running affair with Ares. 
*'''Apollo''': God of music, prophecy, healing, and the sun. A renowned archer whose arrows spread deadly plagues, he is also the patron of seers and oracles. 
*'''Ares/Mars''': God of war. Least beloved of the gods in Greece for his bloodlust and rages, although in Rome he was revered as an unyielding commander of armies. 
*'''Artemis/Diana''': Goddess of the moon and the hunt. Having sworn never to marry, she is a devoted protector of women.
*'''Athena/Minerva''': Goddess of wisdom, war, and law. Famous for emerging fully grown from the head of Zeus, she is a peerless tactician and guardian of civilization. 
*'''Dionysus/Bacchus''': God of wine, revelry, and epiphany. An unpredictable source of both wisdom and excess, and often associated with madness. 
*'''Hades/Pluto''': God of the Underworld. Neither especially cruel nor particularly kind, he is a gloomy fellow who prefers to keep to himself.
*'''Hestia/Vesta''': Goddess of the hearth and sacrifice. The calmest and humblest of the Greek gods, but her role in providing heat and light is undeniably important. 
*'''Demeter/Ceres''': Goddess of the harvest. When Hades kidnapped her daughter Persephone, she denied the world its harvest until Zeus returned her- but as Persephone is still obliged to go back to the Underworld for half the year, Demeter makes the land barren during that time to remind the gods not to steal from her again. 
*'''Persephone/Proserpina''': Goddess of the Underworld. As Demeter's daughter she shares her power over the things that grow upon the earth, and is said to grant the gift of reincarnation to the worthy dead.
*'''Hephaestus/Vulcan''': God of the forge and industry. Hera hurled him off of Mount Olympus for his ugliness and withered legs, and while he is diligent he can also be quite vindictive when crossed. 
*'''Hera/Juno''': Goddess of marriage and queen of the gods. Zeus's endless affairs are a constant sore spot for her, and her jealous rages are nothing short of terrifying for those who have been the subject of her husband's advances. 
*'''Hermes/Mercury''': Messenger of the gods, and the god of boundaries and travel. A trickster who acts as the patron of all who live by their wits, he is also associated with commerce and magic. 
*'''Poseidon/Neptune''': God of the sea. Violent and temperamental, his fury generates earthquakes and stirs up storms at sea. 
*'''Zeus/Jupiter''': God of the sky and king of the gods. Greatest and wisest of the Greek gods...and possibly the greatest philanderer to have ever existed, given his reputation for seducing anything that looks vaguely female (and the occasional handsome boy as well). 

In 1e, Caligula and Quirinus joined the Dodekatheon during WWII. According to 2e, Julius Caesar was originally a Scion of the Theoi but for his part in subjugating the Nemetondevos in the Gallic Wars he became the god Divius Iulius after his assassination.
