Adonis is a strong hunter and a god who exemplifies male beauty in Greek mythology. Aphrodite and Persephone had fought over him, which resulted in Aphrodite locking his spirit away in Pandora's Box. Aphrodite forgot that she locked him in the box while Adonis patiently waited for the goddesses to decide his fate and was freed several millennia later by Neil. He instantly gains the attention of all female company in sight, much to Neil's displeasure. His reappearance causes Aphrodite and Persephone to fight over the hunter again, causing Envy to appear.
Unaggressive and good-natured, he is challenged by Neil, who he continues to mistakenly refer to as "Ned", to a beauty contest. Envy appears to curse Neil, who is saved by Adonis. However, he is possessed with envy and attempts to kill Neil until Envy is trapped in Pandora's Box, freeing Adonis from her possession. He decides to give up on Persephone and Aphrodite in order to go to a place where strength of character matters more than appearance so that he will be treated as a person and not an object.
Mythology[]
Queen Myrrha was cursed by Aphrodite with insatiable lust for her own father, King Cinyras after bragged that her daughter was more beautiful than the goddess. Driven out after becoming pregnant, Myrrha was changed into a myrrh tree but still gave birth to Adonis.
Aphrodite took him to The Underworld to be fostered by Persephone. Adonis grew into an astonishingly handsome young man, causing Aphrodite and Persephone to feud over him Zeus settled the dispute by decreeing that Adonis would spend one third of the year with Aphrodite, one third with Persephone, and one third with whomever he chose. Adonis chose Aphrodite. One day while Adonis was hunting, he was wounded by a wild boar and bled to death in Aphrodite's arms. The boar was either sent by Ares, who was jealous that Aphrodite was spending so much time with him, or Artemis, who wanted revenge against Aphrodite for killing her devoted follower Hippolytus.
