[QUOTE="AliasBot, post: 8002024, member: 7021806"] Sort of? It's not 1:1, but there's definitely a fair bit of overlap. Gods you can swap out for their Olympian counterparts with essentially zero alteration: Erebos -> Hades Purphoros -> Hephaestus Karametra -> Demeter Gods you can swap out for their Olympian counterparts with minor alterations: Nylea -> Artemis Thassa -> Poseidon Mogis -> Ares Other Olympians' portfolios are split across multiple Therosian gods: Athena -> Iroas (god of war) and Ephara (god of the city) Apollo* -> Heliod (god of the sun), Keranos (god of prophecy), and Pharika (god of healing and diseases) Zeus -> Heliod (ruler of the gods) and Keranos (god of storms) Phenax is sort of like a twisted Hermes, emphasizing his "trickster god" aspect and acting as a reverse-psychopomp, being the patron of escapees from the Underworld, living and undead alike. (The other elements of Hermes's portfolio are absent, as far as I'm aware.) Then there are a couple of gods based on non-Olympian figures from Greek mythology (Athreos is Charon, Klothys is the Fates), and a god that doesn't overlap heavily with any Greek mythological figure that I'm aware of: Kruphix, god of both knowledge and the unknown. There aren't any Therosian gods that overlap much (if at all) with Hera, Aphrodite, or Hestia. There [I]was[/I] a god that overlapped a fair bit with Dionysus, Xenagos, but he doesn't appear in this book, on account of being dead. * One major part of Apollo's portfolio is absent, to my great sadness: there is no god of music. (Xenagos probably would have been the closest.) [/QUOTE]
