/lit/ not sure where else I could post this but here goes

I'm currently writing a story about a person who suffers from delusions that involve greek gods/titans etc. personified.

My character is very suicidal, mentally disturbed, thus the deities that fit with their mood appear, so I need greek /lit/ buff to help

who would be best suited to deal with the character during mental breakdowns, suicide attempts, etc.

> Already using Erebos (god of darkness/shadows) and Menoetius (violent rage/rash action) and Dionysus for bouts of substance abuse, any others?

>also what exactly was Abraxas? God of lies/deceit?

Imagine your character is you, and you don't know shit about mytology, therefore your main character doesn't know shit about mytology, and whatever he does knows, that's how his deities and demons will present to himself

Orpheus

He's like the jungian animus of suicidality or whatever

let there be a battle between the two eros personifications battle for his immor(t)al soul ; the heavenly eros wins but irl it's just his pedophile uncle.
it's not what you write, it's how you do it.

>personified versions of character
You don't know what personification means.
Don't write stories involving elements that you have no clue about. Unless you're an expert, it's going to be shit, because I assure you others know much more about it than you do.

This, because the main character can only be this delusional if he is undegoing abuse

the whole of his delusions will have to be the result of the struggle against rape and abuse
