Atlantiades

Atlantiades's History

One of the Demigods of Love called the Erotes, Atlantiades, known to mortals as Hermaphroditus, is the God of Androgyny and Unions, Lust and Desire, among several other things.

Atlantiades is the eldest child of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, by Hermes; she made them from her body, something not even Zeus could match, for her own pride, and Atlantiades grew resentful of their mother because of it.

Meeting Wonder Woman

As the dimension of the Olympians collapsed after Ares took his own life while imprisoned in Themyscira, Atlantiades found themselves in the city of Summergrove, Connecticut where they decided to establish a cult based upon free desire. Soon, Wonder Woman and Atlantiades' mother, Aphrodite, were led there by the sword of Antiope and tried to contrast their cult, being that people were acting immorally because of desire.Atlantiades explained than that it was all because of how Aphrodite used him in the past, leading to them deciding this was a second chance to become a true god of love.

After Diana made Atlantiades realize that this way was not a sane and happy one for their followers, Atlantiades talked to them about the fact sometimes desire must be sacrificed for the people you care about. This led Atlantiades to grow fonder of Diana, with them trying to seduce her multiple times. Diana resisted though, thanks to her true love for Steve Trevor. Then, Atlantiades decided to follow Diana into a portal in his temple, as they were unbeknownst about his presence. Even if their mother tried to talk them out of traversing it, they did it nonetheless, helping Maggie retrieve her sword and then getting inside Dimension Chi together with her and Diana.

After finding out that several Amazons were refugees inside Dimension Chi because Grail, after the collapse and reconstitution of Themyscira, took the throne for herself, Atlantiades was given a suit of armor from Diana and helped her sedate the spirit of Grail's army to conclude the battle in their favor. After Grail was defeated, Atlantiades came back with Diana to Earth from Themyscira, and reconciled with their mother Aphrodite. They also met Steve Trevor, with Atlantiades unimpressed by the man Diana loves.

After the death of their mother Aphrodite and the consequent loss of love in the world, Atlantiades felt desolate and lost, but when Diana of Themyscira needed her friends even though she could not count on their love, the Erote abdicated their former love for her in favor of Steve Trevor, and for that sacrifice the eternal spheres allowed them to ascend to godhood, and Atlantiades inherited the throne of love from Aphrodite, becoming the new God of Love.
