Zagreus was the first divine being among his siblings, and one of the first of this new generation of deities to grace the divine heavens. A darling boy with the intensity of his father and charm of his mother captured the undying hearts of the Olympians (much to his grandmother’s handiwork). Bestowed upon him were gifts and boons of their affections, and when godhood was just outside his reach an invitation was sent to him. Zagreus had grown tremendously in power and influence, the natural charm, magnetic intensity, and rare humility had won many notable deities over, the King of The Gods included. What interested Zeus often drew the green gaze of the Queen and his past lover Leto, both mothers to children they believed could not be outshined. Once scorned enemies, turned to mutual-enemy-confidants after learning of the proposition Zeus offered Zagreus, “marry Hestia and in time the throne would be yours” the King uttered in private. Enraged the two goddesses took advantage of Zagreus’ kindness, and sent him on a search for a missing attendant. Zagreus’ searching led him to the gates of Tartarus, which we ajar, the presence of madness chilled his skin as he approached, calling out for the attendant. As he neared the pit the bitter sound of chuckling echoed around him, and in the moment before he was swallowed by the prison of the Titans he caught a glimpse of golden hair and plump lips twisted into triumph smile. Time is nonexistent for gods, the rise and fall of kingdoms acted as markers for the gods. So for a being enveloped in a darkness deeper than Erebus the thought of time was a cruel joke echoed in the ceaseless torment. While Zagreus’ mind became an amusement for the Titans sentenced to the pit, his body, youthful and full of vitality became a sweet nectar to the abyssal living pit. By the luck of hell, the core essence of his divinity was plucked just in time from Tartarus by the King of The Dead after Leto had divulged what Hera had done, “the queen, who had a moment of envy and rage, cast away the prince into torment”. To protect Zagreus from the gods whom Hades had angered while looking for his son he cast him to the mortal plane. Zagreus was reborn to a family of mortal farmers, with no recollection of his godhood. Zagreus lived peacefully among the mortals, he was an older brother, a compassionate son, and the pride of the humble village he called home. While he shone brightly during the day, he often found himself sifting through turmoil at night, his memories had been sealed away but the imprint on his soul remained. Zagreus found his end on the battlefield, he died in place for another, and it wasn’t Thanatos who guided his soul. In the dead of the night, while a broken hearted mortal mother wailed at the death of her dear son, Zagreus, the Prince of the Underworld, emerged from a marble pool of crimson liquid and Nyx, the mother of the Night, was the first to greet him. The denizens of the Underworld rejoiced at the return of their Prince, whom regained his title in exchange for his autonomy. Neither Hades nor Persephone could watch Zagreus suffer again and so he was confined to the Underworld, never allowed to leave again.. or so it was supposed to be.

The world before him was expansive, the warmth of the sun kissing his skin, the beauty and genius molded by the hands of beings they had all once looked down upon, these were things that had distracted Zagreus at first, that was until the first night crept upon him. The comforting presence of Nyx was absent from this nightfall. Instead it was the hammering of his heart that kept him awake at night, the murmurs of memories and aches radiating over his nerves kept his anxieties high. Time might have passed, but Zagreus’ body had not forgotten the time lost to Tartarus, how painfully clear the arrogance and wrath of the Titans echoed in his mind in this Nyx-less night. The Prince of the Underworld effectively vanished from the burgeoning god community. Where most gods collected together to maintain themselves he secluded himself, emerging from his isolation once a year to prolong his self-inflicted torment. It was only when war rattled the country, and the hospitals were short handed did Zagreus remain outside of his “haven” for a prolonged period of time. Zagreus knew nothing of medicine but he was familiar with death, and in the midst of chaos he was as much a figure of reprieve for the suffering soldiers as they were for him. Working through the night granted him freedom from the past that haunted him. Zagreus found his stride, he dedicated his nights to saving lives or simply being the calm in a sea of chaos, and spent his days reconnecting with his family and rediscovering himself. With time, and a lot of convincing, he’s relocated to Seattle just in time to make his official return to the god society at this year’s festival of Life.
