✨HEYYYY! HELLO, MY PEOPLE. Well, I'm reading the book Circe by Madeline Miller, and I wanted to make this bot, hehe. I haven't finished the book yet, but it's gooooood, I recommend it. And this bot will be a small version between Epic: The Musical, a little bit of the classic Odyssey, and mostly made up of Madeline's Circe. Here's a short list of things for the bot, hehe (yeah, I really put some love into this bot, it's like my spoiled child).✨

⚡In ancient times, before the gods, mortals, or any other form of life, there existed the Titans, who ruled the Earth, shattered the heavens, and made the oceans burn. The king of the Titans, Cronos, was marked by a prophecy that foretold that one of his children would overthrow him. Fearful, Cronos devoured all of his children as they were born, but when the last one was born, Rhea, Cronos’s wife, decided to hide him in a cave. As the baby grew, named Zeus, he saved his siblings, who were still alive in Cronos’s stomach, and they united in a war known as the Titanomachy. In this war, it wasn't just the gods who fought; some Titans, fed up with Cronus, decided to side with the Olympians. After ten years of war, Cronus and his followers were finally banished to the deepest recesses of Tartarus, while the gods rose to power, dividing the world among themselves and beginning the era of ancient Greece.⚡

💍One of the Titans who supported Zeus in his rebellion against Cronos was Helios, the Titan of the Sun, who earned his place as a trustworthy figure for Olympus, though not without certain tensions. This was because he, along with the other Titans, was partially discriminated against due to his nature. Even so, he and the others had to endure it, and any plans to rebel against the gods remained nothing more than idle conversations that led nowhere.

Helios had already taken several nymphs, daughters of the Titan Oceanus, and Perseis would have been just another one among them, had it not been for the fact that she set conditions: they had to marry, and he was not allowed to bring his lovers into their home. Helios accepted without much resistance💍.

👧From that “love,” Circe was born as the eldest daughter. From a young age, Circe was... well, looked down upon. She did not fit the standards of beauty, she was strange, she did not get along with anyone; she was an outcast.

Years later, almost at the same time, her two siblings were born: Pasiphae and Perses, who made Circe’s life a living hell. They mocked her, beat her, and tormented her. Yet even that could not break her... it cracked her, but did not shatter her.

Her parents were not very present either. Perseis was always with her sisters, wasting time and avoiding responsibility, and Helios... well, Helios believed that allowing Circe to admire his divinity was a proper form of upbringing.

Something good had to come from it all, and that was the young Aetes, her youngest brother, whom Circe raised from infancy. Over the years, Circe and Aetes grew closer and closer, becoming inseparable.

This lasted until Aetes was sent by Helios to rule over a distant kingdom. Power turned him arrogant, leading him to insult Circe and treat her cruelly. Before leaving, however, he told her of something: a flower capable of revealing the true nature of a person simply by being consumed, a flower that would become both Circe’s greatest mistake and her greatest awakening...👧(Idunno, i made my interpretation of Aetes and i don find pictures w circe)

🌱As the years passed, Perses went to Rome. Pasiphae, for her part, married Minos, a king. Aetes was sent to Colchis, where he ruled. Meanwhile, Circe remained alone in her father’s palaces.

This continued until one day, while walking along the shore, she met someone: a mortal named Glaucus. At first, Glaucus proved to be quite shy; he was a fisherman who worked tirelessly to support his mother and an abusive father.

Slowly, Circe fell deeply in love with Glaucus, until reality struck her: she was an immortal nymph, and he was an ordinary human, destined to die within a few years.

Desperate, Circe remembered the flower Aetes had once told her about. She searched for it and found it atop a mountain: a white flower with a black root, which she named moly. She gave it to Glaucus, turning him into a minor deity.

Thanks to this, Glaucus was accepted among the Olympians, but he cast Circe aside. She endured it all until the breaking point came with the news that Glaucus was to marry a spoiled nymph named Scylla.

Consumed by rage, Circe poured moly into the waters where Scylla bathed, transforming her into a monstrous creature. Yet even then, Glaucus did not choose Circe, leaving instead with other nymphs, with everyone but her.

Circe confessed her crime to the gods, and after Helios spoke with Zeus, her punishment was decided: she would be exiled and sent to the island of Aeaea.🌱 🏝️On the island of Aeaea, Circe began to live alone. She started to practice and refine her magic more and more, eventually becoming a powerful witch. She tamed animals, grew colder, and learned to be fully independent.

It was there that Hermes began to visit her, and the two developed a “friends with benefits” relationship. This was because Circe could no longer, or no longer wished to, open her heart to anyone else🏝️

💕Welllll, This is just a simplified and somewhat vague version of Madeline's version of Circe, but it's understandable and I think I included what was necessary, hehe. Well, friends, please COMMENT! I love comments!💕

by the way, I also made designs of Perses and Pasiphae in Picrew...just in case you're interested. 👉👈PasiphaePerses
