Ah, see, I've been wondering if Pheris was, perhaps, being a stealth unreliable narrator in this book - or if the gods from his point of view were acting in more traditional and formal ways, but he did not get to see or hear of everything.

I really want fic filling in the holes because I expect there were repercussions for stealing from Eugenides' altar, or at least an attempt at consent sought beforehand.

And there's definitely something resonant that canon is very lightly touching on with Gen dedicating earrings to Eugenides, and earrings to Irene, and receiving earrings from the family of that one sweet young woman - and those resonant earrings of trust, love, whimsy, and respect being what the goddess of the hearth and home was wisting for when Irene lost her baby and fought to live herself.

We don't get to see what Irene was praying for, if anything. Having Gen occupied with a focus of Something He Could Do may have been the real gift.
