Yeah, the Percy Jackson books are very much concerned with issues of absent parents, and are not at all interested in excusing the phenomenon. It's not that the gods can't be there for their kids, it's that they are bad parents, so they aren't there for their kids, and this is something for said kids to rail against and demand better of the gods for. It's one of the major reasons the films were so utterly, irredeemably awful, that they turned that on its head and gave Poseidon the usual cop-out "I'd have been there for you if I could, but there were big important
This is also why, for instance, I generally perceive the books as giving Hades a pretty fair shake; caustic and bitter though he may be, of all the Olympians (certainly all of the Big Three) he comes off as the one who remains the most invested in and the most willing to be a father to his demigods. He's not an absent father - he's bitter and he grieves his mortal wife, and he doesn't deal with that as well as he should in how he treats Nico and Bianca, but he nevertheless stays by them with no cajoling or browbeating required.

Not sure what situation you are referring to. It remains mostly the same, just that he didn't die via Zeus before his death in Sicily, just struck lame. Are you referring to the part where Zeus compels Aphrodite somehow? As this is shortly before Troy, she was already broken.

I'll need to reread the relevant information, I was under the impression that Aphrodite was whole at the time.
-Aphrodite sided with Zeus during the counter rebellion and was whole at the time.
-Post revolution, Apollo and Poseidon worked at Troy.
-Within a few generations (Laomedon was King at the time, Anchises was his half-sisters son) she wasn't (we now know)
I'd need to double check, but as far as I know all of this is correct. Unless you want to change something, we now have an era of when Aphrodite shattered
This also makes me curious as to how the newly broken nature of Aphrodite affected Aeneas and the future Roman Empire (could her warlike aspects have memetically spread to the Romans?)

Nope you got it. I did stretch the timeline for earlier myths, ie Heracles and the Argonauts because post-Mycenean Greece had everything from the Giant War to Troy happening within two centuries at most. Obviously this is not really feasible, as they imagined Mycenean Greece as this wonderful age of myths and legends and didn't seem to have a solid grasp on how ages work. The Argonauts is where it gets really egregious, when people mentioned as the crew might have been because they thought they were legitimately there, but also might have been literal fanfiction because being an Argonaut was prestigious and a way to make your OC seem awesome.I'll need to reread the relevant information, I was under the impression that Aphrodite was whole at the time.

Part of this last chapter, putting the Argonauts as after Athena's rule and Heracles had already ascended at that point, was outlining how the Greek myths were edited and 'squished' to erase Athena's reign as King, and that's why it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Riordanverse completely ignores the Mycenean time period as well as the preceding Minoan eras, and assumes even the oldest of the gods are circa 4 to 5 thousand years old. In PJO, Poseidon's Name of Posedao is not even a Faded deity, he just doesn't exist and had never existed.
Aphrodite was whole until canonical Troy. Aphrodite's shattering is what led to the Great Bronze Age Collapse.

You say that she was whole until the myth of Troy, but she had shattered prior to the birth of Aeneas, unless in AUoS Anchises wasn't Aeneas' father?
I'm going to start on a timeline, with these events now that I have some more detail.

'Led to.' The Troy myth covers a lot, not just the Trojan War with Hector and Paris vs Agamemnon and Achilles. I will say that the whole deal with Zeus deciding the world was overpopulated so he blocked Eris from Thetis' wedding via Hermes and the golden apple shit and the Judgement of Paris?
Did not happen that way.

Wait wait what? Aphrodite's shattering led to the Bronze Age Collapse? I am sorry but was the whole Innana/Istar thing that important?

As we covered earlier in the thread, if you kill the sun gods, you kill the sun. Inanna had a syncretism train that covered the entire region from Greece to Asia, all in one goddess. Her Domains covered everything from Royalty to War to Justice to Hunting to Healing to Love and more.
She was the Queen of Heaven.
Why wouldn't there be a backlash on humanity?

Oh…yeah. I knew Innana was a big deal but wow. Just wow. What caused her to shatter again? Or is that spoilers?
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Perhaps off topic, but are you including the Thurian/Hyborian ages from Lovecraft's mythos in AUoS?
In the Spacebattles thread it was revealed it was her attempted consumption of Ouranos and failed ascension into an Old god that caused her to shatter.

Correction, she was already an Old God. She attempted to ascend further into an Elder One and did not succeed.

Whoops missed this part. No. And yes. Kind of. Boreas in classical mythology had a home in the Thracian mountains where the mythological land of Hyborea lay beyond. It is mentioned, albeit not by name, in Heart to Heart at the A&W chapter by Khione, when she offers to show them the divine wards at the Edge of her father's territory. It's been merged and altered as fitting into Greek mythology rather than the other way around as the canonical 'land beyond the gods' as meaning more than just Alaska and having an actual reason why Young Gods have a reason not to be there at all.
If you want, I can post the ongoing compendium from SB here on SV. There was a lot more chatter and pulling of my threads over there, so there is a ton more background information in the Cast List. @ExNihilo was maintaining one over here, so I didn't think it was necessary. But if you want to know more about my notes, I can post it here anyway? It's not necessary to enjoy the story, I am definitely not going to be referencing something only SB knows about because we talked about it. This is all extra. If it comes up in the story, it will be officially covered, ie when Percy meets Aphrodite for example.

There is quite a lot
One of the bigger things is that it was confirmed that Pontus is Cthulhu
I just spent like 40 minute looking for the quote about Aphrodite and couldn't find it. My timeline is going to include sources (so I never need to do that again)
More so I was meaning things like Lemuria, the continent of Mu, Conan, etc. If so I would assume that was during either the War or during the Age of Titans.

Ah, Conan and such, no. Some of the gods of the Hyborian Age like Thog will be present (Lotus Casino...). Things like Lemuria and the sinking of Atlantis was during the War before the Feast and things like the continent of Mu may have taken place elsewhere not on Earth as it wasn't a one planet deal. Kronos and co just had the luck to be Earthborn slaves as opposed to Mercury or Mars. Which quote are you looking for exactly? I can help you find it.

Mostly I'm wondering so I can figure out when pre-humans got brought to the solar system (if the Lemurians are a thing, it was around 50-20 million years ago)
The one were you talk about Aphrodite's attempted use of the Sky Father to ascend.

Eh, I have, tentatively, the Star-Spawn Rebellion taking place roughly 3-4 million years ago before the Pleistocene Epoch, the last Ice Age. The Feast is the end of it. I'm not sure Lemurians were that long ago? I'm running on the assumption that the Cataclysm was 20,000 BCE give or take. And sure. It's this one where it was first mentioned and then confirmation in this one.

You might have already answered this but... could she have succeeded?

I have not answered that. Technically, there is one member of the Greek pantheon that did succeed at it. The general concept is sound. How Inanna went about it was not.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Before I head out for a while, I will mention that according to my research the 20-50 million year figure seems to be from Brian Lumley (his introductions of Theem'hdra and Shamballah respectively), even so they were "proto-humans". The oldest mention of humans I can find from H.P himself is 200,000 years in Out of the Aeons.

Ah, keep in mind I am not taking everything from the Expanded Mythos into account. For one, there is just too fucking much, lmao. Generally I am aiming to restrict myself to H.P and Howard with smatterings from other authors mainly concerning the Elder Gods as a faction.

Who succeeded at the ascension to Elder God? I mean Inanna choked in her own ambitions but it's actually possible?

We will see them in story soonish. Immediately after we catch up to Ch 1, and we only have two major events between now and then, one of which being recovering at Rhea's, so I won't say anything more about them. However, yes it is possible. A lot weaker than the Elder Gods behind Nyx and Ananke, but the term Elder God in story just means their divinity and power is completely independent of humanity. Think ascension to a Great Old One in Lovecraft terms, rather than ascension to Outer God.
