#I am nightposting and greekposting at the same time

why are people sleeping on the Greek animated series Ουκ αν λάβεις παρά του μη έχοντος?? It is a continuation of the story of Λουκιανός (Lucian) "Νεκρικοί Διάλογοι" (Dialogues of the Dead) and shows broke Menippos and two VERY tired deities in modern Athens.

The general premise is that the old government (aka the ancient gods) want to retire but there is ooone little detail. The case of cynic philosopher Menippos isn't closed and that stops Charon and Hermes from finally retiring! Their mission? Make stubborn and chaotic Menippos earn just one euro so he can pay Charon and close the financial case. But the dedication of Menippos to being a hippie and strange circumstances will get in the way of their eternal vacation.

Do not think for a second this is a serious show, and that's why it's one of the most beloved shows for Greeks. I mean what else perfectly pairs Greek bureaucracy and the ✨Dimosio✨, Frappe-zombies, Edward Cullen, Snow White and Angel Gabriel together??

Charon (or Kharis ☺️) is a hopeful and romantic character while Hermes is a neurotic twink on the bring of a mental breakdown, and his only option of letting off some steam is killing Menippos again and again.

In 20:20 starts a montage of Hermes' blasting Menippos' head off through different eras:
