You know, in the end of the first series, Dionysus's character seemed more nice to me. Tho, I didn't go into complete positivism and I didn't fall into conclusions right away- because I knew that the Olympians, gods do not really change, whatever have happens.

In the first series, some interections that happened between Dionysus and Percy somewhat proves that Dionysus is a relax and a careless god, but he also kind of grudginly respects Percy. And like you said, he showed that he cares about his children and his wife, and he did help Chris by curing his madness. Somewhat and sometimes he cares about something/s. ect. Tho, I still did not and do not believe that he cares really and actually that much. Because he is a god, after all. But I did think that sometimes and somewhat he does show some care and decent, in the first series.

Then, those somewhat 'decent' and 'positive' things about Dionysus, and the other things that he showed some care for others dissapered all, and those things back-fired in the HoO series right away. The way he acts in the second series; when Jason and Percy were fighting with the Giants, Dionysus didn't even bother to do anything and just sitted and watch. He didn't care that if Jason and Percy were going to get killed. He didn't care about the demigods- and he didn't even bother to come in the last war ect. That proves that he actually doesn't care, in the reality. (And I know that at that time gods were struck between their Roman and Greek aspects- but for Dionysus it wasn't the actual reason that he was acting that way. Because he knew what were 7 trying to do- he knew that the fight/s happening, but yet and still he didn't care at all.)

And Aphrodite doesn't care about anything- her priorities are romance and the lovey-dovey stuffs. She doesn't care about playing with people and messing with their lives, she manipulates them, she manipulates people's minds, she even doesn't hesitate to manipulate her own daughter's mind. The world will die and collapse and Aphrodite still doesn't care at all.
