Hey all, here is my third and final Lore Olympus piece for the day. Anyhow, this time, we're delving into one of my more...serious headcanons, regarding Rhea. Mind you, we all know she's dead or in hibernation, but what if that never happened? What if in an alternate timeline, there was a little more family drama?

In this version, Rhea's desperation to save her sons went too far and she ended up forcing Zeus, the only one who didn't get eaten, to go through brutal training sessions the moment he turned old enough. Poor Zeus was forced to endure this every day and was never allowed to leave the island of Ida... like what happened with Persephone and her mother. One day, Rhea finally went too far during a heated argument that led to her smacking Zeus flying...right for a bunch of sharp rocks near the shoreline. Zeus survived due to being immortal, but he never trusted his mother again and resented her ever since.

In fact, after the war, Zeus had decided that Rhea was simply too dangerous to be around him or his brothers, so he promptly gave her the boot, which is what's happening now. Heck, Zeus was so pissed he actually went Titan sized! I know, I know, not a lot of people like Zeus, but I've always liked playing Devil's advocate and Rhea being portrayed as flawlessly perfect always bugged me. As for the scars, Zeus doesn't really show them to anyone, using magic to keep them hidden...and that's the sad part.

I mainly drew Zeus myself (not bad for a first try), though I did have to trace Rhea because she's so complicated. As for why her hair's red...I didn't want her to be mistaken for Persephone and I like how it turned out. Anyhow, like or hate, feel free to leave a comment.
