Philianos

Philianos is the son of Apollo and Hyacinthus. He's almost identical to Hyacinthus, though he has Apollo's eyes. He is the grandson of Leto and Zeus on Apollo's side. And Pierus of Magnesia and Clio on Hyacinthus' side. He never got to meet Hyacinthus, though after he was reborn, he did finally meet his long lost father. He often goes by 'Phil'. Phil suffers from traumatophobia, the fear of fear of battle and physical injury. He is incredibly nearsighted and can see about a centimeter in front of his face without glasses.

## Early Life

Apollo wrapped his son in a blanket and set him in a wicker basket in the forest. He was found by a Greek slave couple, and then he got shuffled around a lot until giving up on the concept of parents.

### Early childhood

Phil was born in Sparta to Apollo and Hyacinthus, who, before Apollo even knew he existed had died. Apollo left Philianos alone in a basket. He was found by slaves and they raised him, then they got split up and he found a new family, then it happened again and again and then he just gave up .

#### Run in with Death

When Philianos was 5 or 6 years old, a group of other slaves teen boys who disliked him. Philianos would sit at a dock as a little boy,

> 'It soothed me.'
>
>

he explained. He would dangle his feet in the water. One day, some of the teenage boys grabbed his ankle and dragged him underwater. One of the other teens knocked him out and he tied him to a post. Phil recalls waking up near a mountain. Apollo had saved him.

### Bullying

Phil was badly mistreated and bullied for the majority of his life, other slave children would throw stones, sticks and tools at him and take his food, making him very small and skinny from being malnourished and starved. He was was afraid to fight back, and didn't say anything to his adoptive parents.

### Meeting Apollo

For the first couple years of his life, from roughly 6 to 8, he didn't know Apollo or Hyacinthus were his parents. Apollo went to visit his son one day, and appeared at his shack, where Philianos was alone, due to him being too weak to work from not eating. Philianos' first reaction was to cover his face with his arms. Apollo noted that he was shaking and realized Phil thought Apollo was going to hurt him. Apollo hugged him, and Phil was startled and shocked. Apollo explained Phil's parentage, and Phil was shocked and asked Apollo for food. Apollo handed him some ambrosia and tucked him into bed.

## Prince hood

He was around 12 when Apollo told Pierus about Philianos and he went to find his grandson. He was working out in the field as usual and was brought back to Sparta, though the chariot crashed and his right leg was caught in one of the wheels, breaking it badly. As well as skinning his elbow down to the bone. He was knocked out and went into shock. Apollo healed his son, though he lost his ability to run quickly, where his run was more of a power walk. He got around with a crutch for around 6 months, until he could walk on his own. He was prone to accidents, and would often badly injure himself while training to the point where he just stopped going out of his comfort zone.

He fell in love with Hope Crossan/Virgo's brother, Virgeus when he was 13 years old and he was 14, and they started dating when he was 15. Around two years later he was killed by Thanatos. Apollo was grief stricken and honored his son by changing the leaves, so all would remember the young prince.

## Death and Rebirth

In 2001, he was reborn and his name was changed to Philip, though he always goes by 'Phil' which was his childhood nickname. When he was first brought back, his English wasn't very good, him being from Ancient Greece. Apollo and Hyacinthus stopped in Ontario, Canada to go fetch him, his foster mother disliked him, the two could barely understand each other, her not speaking Ancient Greek, him at first not speaking any English, he eventually figured out what certain words meant. His foster mother would often yell at him for not trying in school, not understanding he was from Ancient Greece and had absolutely no idea what was going on. Him missing quite a few centuries. He would often be pulled aside in class for one-on-one learning, though it often had little effect due to his confusion. The only class he did decently well in was art, because he was good at that. But he was still a D or lower student. Him not learning his foster mother's name until Apollo told it to him in Ancient Greek: Ms. Crane. Phil later states:

> 'I do not like Ms. Crane. She yells at me and I don't understand. I don't understand a lot,'
>
>

which is what he tells his parents when they take him home to New York. Hyacinthus understands him, he was new at this too. But, when he got home, he was forced to share a room with his grandfather, Pierus, due to limited space in the apartment. He eventually moved to Arizona with his parents and grandfather, where he did not have to share a room.

## Talents

Cassandra, Hippolytus, Kayden and Hope all agree he's not exactly smart. Hippolytus refers to him as:

> 'Phil is all muscle, no brain,'
>
>

Cassandra called him:

> 'Dumb as a rock'
>
>

Kayden calls him

> 'A strapping idiot.', 'dashing young and stupid prince' and 'idiot prince'
>
>

He's not smart, and he often runs into objects, walls, and people. He is often confused at school, and can't write unless it's in Ancient Greek, and even then it's still limited. He can barely do math, it's limited to simple addition. He isn't great at fighting either. He's handsome, and good at drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry and archery.

## Personality

Phil is considered to be brave, determined, and creative. He enjoys working with his hands, and doesn't like sports, though he would often still partake in sports, do to him being a Spartan Prince, he tried to do what his home saw valued. Which, in Sparta, was sports, fighting, bravery, and similar things. Meanwhile, Phil valued painting, drawing, sculpting, and poetry. Most of this was because of Apollo, though Hyacinthus was gifting with drawing, thought he rarely did. A few things that Philianos disliked were playing sports, though he enjoyed watching them, school, discus, shields you can throw, and bullies. He dislikes bullies mostly because he was bullied as a child and after he became a prince, people respected him more, thought he knew it was just because of his title. Phil is jumpy from being mistreated.

## Appearance

Phil is described as looking almost identical to Hyacinthus, though he has Apollo's sky blue eyes. He's considered to be very handsome. Him being an artist, he is often seen with paint splattered on his face and clothes. He wears black glasses due to his nearsightedness. He is first described as wearing his original clothes, him wearing Spartan armor, which often made him uncomfortable. He is later described as having short ponytail, jeans, plaid flannel over a white t-shirt and red converse. Though in the Liz series, she describes him as having

> 'Shoulder length wavy dark brown hair streaked with brown and copper skin. His eyes stood out, they were a piercing sky blue. He wore blue jeans that were ripped and worn, a black t-shirt under a half-way unzipped tundra camo parka. He was lean, but slim. Like he had spent a few years on the streets. Which, looking at him, he probably had.'

Phil is shorter than the modern day average height, about 4'9 or 5'1. While the average height for elite Spartan warriors were 5′7 - 6′2, while the average citizens were around 5 7′ to 5 10. He's considered to be light, his family and friends would often pick him off the ground with ease. Apollo estimates he's around 90 pounds. Apollo says that he might break in half like a twig, he's really skinny and most of the time you could easily count his ribs.

## Miscellaneous

Philianos is hard of hearing and wears a hearing aid, (off topic, as Philianos usually is; he's usually not paying attention to anyone and is just thinking about Virgeus. He doesn't even listen to Virgeus, because he's thinking about/admiring Virgeus.) He also severally needs glasses he just refuses to wear them so he can barely see where he's going.

Philianos' powers are limited, but include:

* Healing
* Knowledge of the Future (via prophecies, little glimpses and predictions based on the past)
* Knowledge of the Past (History powers, Philianos is completely aware of the passage of time and can tell what's going on)
* Very loud screaming that can make people's ears bleed and knock them out (he doesn't really use this power ever)
