If Zeus does something wrong while literally everyone is angry, stressed out and at each other's throats; everybody suddenly has a master's degree in Ancient History, Literature, and Psychology.

But if he does something right; everybody is suddenly illiterate.

Make it make sense

When asked for her passport, Eris pulled her real one from under the seat. Deimos and Phobos knew all along

The Love&War family go to the Mexican Pantheon for vacations:

-At the Mexican Pantheon Border Patrol-

Ares, driving the chariot: Alrigth, we're almost next. Passports guys

Eris: Oh, i just want to remind everyone that my passport is fake in case that makes anybody uncomfortable!

-Silence-

Enyo: I-i'm sorry, what? Eris, you didn't bring your real passport?

Eris: No, i left everything behind :3

Eros: -Tired sigh- Oh my gods...

Enyo: Eris... That's a divine felony, did you know that?

Aphrodite: Why didn't you say this earlier?!

Eris: I did! I just did!! So if you're not comfy with it you guys should just get out!

Enyo: WE'RE NOT GETTING OUT OF THE CHARIOT BECAUSE WE'RE RIGHT IN FRONT OF BORDER PATROL!!

Eros: WE COULD LITERALLY ALL BE DETAIN, AUNT ERIS!

Ares: -Checking Eris fake passport- Margaret... Wartime? Your fake name is *MARGARET WARTIME*?!?!

Aphrodite: WHY DID YOU PICK MARGARET WARTIME?! IT SOUND LIKE A FAKE NAME!

Eros: Should we turn around? Can we still turn around?

Eris: Guys, stop it!! You're really freaking me out! :c

Enyo: Well... YOU SHOULD BE FREAKING OUT, ERIS!

Ares: I-i can't even tell if this is a good passport...

Aphrodite: Guys!! None of us know Margaret Wartime!! She's a random minor deity, we picked up on the way here because we're nice!

Eros: AND WE LET HER HAVE THE FRONT SEAT?!?

- Discussion ensues. Phobos and Deimos are at their little children seats giggling at the general chaos.-

Wether they managed to pass border patrol or got detained, its up to you guys pfft

Saw your last post. You can say "Lore Olympus" don't worry

One of the few examples that in their attempt to avoid insest all together, made things somehow worse (Like Metis being an adult and Zeus 12 when they were dating 🫠)

I know, I just didn't want to name it in someone else's post. And which retelling did it is unimportant because it probably isn't the only one to do something like that.

And Rachel not even noticing the implications of making Hades 19 at Titanomachy is... Ew

Before LO I didn't even consider Zeus' & Metis' ages, now I have headcannons in order to avoid making that mistake: They meet and become friends being children and only start a relationship after the war.

Another thing is, Metis created the sisters on her own, probably already adults because they were born to fight the war and a baby would be more of liability

If that is so, it also kinda creepy the whole secret relationship while two of the daughters have a crush on him

And the part when he sleeps with Demeter by promising she would be queen and then goes back on his word. I'm pretty sure he didn't really know what he was saying at that point

(I'm not sure if that happens before the war, just after, or a lot after. If its one of the first two, he was a child)

[blue-drink]

Do they even have anyone that aren't related to?

I mean, they are like four generations. Chaos and the Primordials could be the first, the Titans are the second generation, and the Olympians the third (+ it being separated into first generation Olympians and second generation Olympians)

Yes, they have a lot of children, but they are also immortal. Maybe there is one new god every hundred years, and we just don't know, they all been there since forever!

There simply cannot be Greek Mythology w/o incest, everyone is related to everyone else in some or other way

In one “retelling” (more like self-insert original work with a greek mythology skin over it) they made Zeus, Poseidon and Hades children of Cronus and Rhea; and Hera, Demeter and Hestia children of Metis. All to avoid incest

And there was still incest! Some which isn't even in myth

Literally, the only way one can be not related is if they are autochthonous (born from the earth)… Oh, wait. They would still be related because Gaia is the Earth

(Also, Zeus is the third to get the crown, and the two before him weren't very good role models. So lol)

seriously just witnessed a post in which someone critiques the way ancient myths were written (as if that's at all an accurate way to describe this) and tries to offer alternatives for how an ancient people and culture with diverse interpretations of these stories and uses for these stories, should have written it instead

because incest makes them uncomfortable.

"In the oldest version Hades kidnapped Persephone." Actually in the oldest version Hades didn't kidnap Persephone because Hades didn't exist yet.

The story of a nature godess losing her shit because her daughter ended up in the underworld and creating winter about it predates Hades existing in the records. Posiden was the underworld god before Hades and chances are with him in the role it was a straight-up custody battle. There's a story from Mycenaean Greece where Poseidon chases down Demeter while they're both horses and she gives birth to a horse daughter named Despoina (another name for Persephone). So in the older version the story likely would have been a father claiming his daughter and a mother fighting to get her back.

When Hades became the God of the Underworld and there was no longer that parental connection the story shifted to it being an arranged marriage without the mother's consent in order for the rest of it to work. The story isn't about Hades, hell it's barely about Persephone, he's just a catalyst for Demeter's story and the explanation for the changing of the seasons. He was slotted into a role that wasn't originally designed for him and has been getting shit for it ever since. Which is so fascinating since the Hymn to Demeter goes out of it's way to absolve Hades of the blame and puts it firmly on Zeus as the father of the bride who gave consent.

The story, as far as I can tell, has always been about a father violating a mother's right to her child and almost getting the world ended for it, Hades just got caught in the crossfire.

Made a thing for Zeus

(I'm technically not helpol, does it still count as a devotional act? Does it count if its digital instead of traditional?)

The space at the right is to write things, like a poem or his epithets (is that you spell it?)

you can download it if you like it, btw

Zeus: *Laying face down on the ground* Hades: So Hera said she liked you? Zeus, *muffled*: Yeah Poseidon: ...and you asked her to marry you? Zeus: Yeah Hades: …and?! How’d she react?! Zeus: Dunno, I ran before I could scare her even more *Meanwhile* Hera, *kicking in the door to the Demeter's room with 12 bottles of champagne*: DEO! Babe! Holy shit! I'm gonna get married!

Según Archivo Mitológico, es propaganda de Atenas

[Acording to Archivo Mitológico, it is propaganda of Athens]

Así que probablemente se puede ignorar

[So you could probably ignore it]

I try to hold all gods to the same standard, but Hefestos really makes that hard with shit like trying to rape Athena and harming his caretaker/adoptive mom Thetys in an attemp to also rape her. And the golden net thing was also such a douche move tbh (Nobody in Olympus wanted to see Ares naked butt, Hefesto)

Its just... Why are you like this?

If you guys have myths that paint Hefestos in a better light, please pass them 🫠

Adultness

Zeus, looking at a mess their kids made: Mmm, yes, that is a problem

Zeus: We need an adult

Athena: You are the adult

Zeus: We need an adultier adult

Ares, whispering: The adultiest adult

Zeus: You are a genius

What I mean:

A group of [gods] are [creating animal life on earth]. In which the [animals] have to survive

They are implementing the different [animals] and [Prometheus and his brother] are in charge or distributing all the abilities they had brainstormed to the different [animals] so they have a fair chance of surviving

They are giving some resistance to cold weather, others the ability to fly, etc. But when they get to the [humans], they have already used all the abilities and have no unique attribute for them

[Prometheus] goes to [Zeus] and asks if they can use [fire]. [Zeus] refuses because it would make them too overpowered but [Prometheus] [takes] it anyway

[Prometheus] is [punished]. The rest now have to find a way to balance out [humans] as [the humans have already started using fire and have become dependant], and they can't [take the fire] unless they are willing to restart [humanity]

The only way they find to do that is to [create Pandora's box: Sickness, hunger, etc.]. Things that weren't planned out this early in development

But if they did that, [all humans] would die out [imminently because they still didn't really know how to use fire]. It was just too much of a nerf. So they ended up introducing [Pandora a.k.a. reproduction] and giving [Pandora a bunch of knowledge so they had a head start]

They were the first developers

Imagine this:

A group of game developers are making their first indie game. In which the NPCs have to survive

They are implementing the different NPC and two devs are in charge or distributing all the abilities they had brainstormed to the different species of NPCs so they have a fair chance of surviving

They are giving some resistance to cold weather, others the ability to fly, etc. But when they get to the last specie, they have already used all the abilities and have no unique attribute for them

One of the devs goes to the project director and asks if they can use that one ability that didn't make the cut. The director refuses because it would make them too overpowered but the dev implements it anyway

The dev is kicked out of the group. The rest now have to find a way to balance out those NPCs as the ex-dev wrote spaghetti-code, and they can't take the buff out unless they are willing to restart all the project

The only way they find to do that is to implement the harsh weather conditions, the hunger bar, etc. Things that weren't planned out this early in development

But if they did that, those NPCs would die out at the start every time. It was just too much of a nerf. So they ended up introducing the repopulation mechanic and giving that species a start up buff

This is about Pandora's box

This is how I interpret Pandora's box

Mission Impossible (I ran out of titles)

Poseidon: Ok, let's clean the dishes! If I clean the dishes, I'll also have to clean the pots. If I clean the pots, I might as well clean the stove. Poseidon: I should also clean the cabinets. [Opens glasses cabinet] Why are these here? These are dirty as fuck! I probably should clean these too. Poseidon: Oh, has anyone picked up the clothes? Nope, still here. I should do that. [An hour later] Poseidon: [Has started 50 tasks. Did not clean any dishes] Shit.

Zeus: Ok, these smell SO bad. Maybe if I put loud music. [Puts music] Nope, nope, nope. Too much. Zeus: There is still food here! Ugh, I need gloves. This is so nasty. [After getting gloves] Zeus: Ok, these are way too many. So I have to pick all of these up and put them far from me so I can focus… [Looks around] And there is no space. Great… Zeus: Just, pick a few up, put them on a chair or something; go back and repeat. When there are like 3 plates, 5 glasses or 10 silverware; take the soap and clean them up. When everything is soapy, use the water and put them to the side. I should put a cloth on the counter so they don't get dirty again. Then dry them and put them away. Zeus: And then repeat like… [Counts the amount of plates] Three to five times… Nope, I'm out of here!
