#The Song of Perseus

[joemerl]

In my experience, that's usually code for "turns all the male characters into one-dimensional assholes to prop up the female lead (who might also be an asshole, but ignore that because #girlboss)."

I think now would be a great time for that

Greek “heros” as a therapist.

Orpheus: don’t look back on the past for too long, you don’t wanna regret what you could have done. Keep an eye on the future.

Odyssey: it might take you a while to get where you want but if you want it, let nothing get in your way.

Achilles: remember if you love someone, keep a hold of them, you don’t want to loose them because of a mistake you’ve made.

Heracules: if someone tries to test you, show them you can beat all their tests.

Perseus: you can use a shield in life, it doesn’t make you weak.

Theseus: when your life feels like a tangled ball of yarn, there will always be someone to untangle it, so don’t loose that person. Don’t go leaving them on an island either.

I saw another post on tiktok demonizing Perseus (also Lady Athena) and talking about Medusa being a 'victim' and oh my gods someone might get murdered if someone doesnt hold me back

1. The Medusa was raped by Posiedon and cursed (or gifted, i see that one too) by Athena was a Roman myth written by Ovid (i think?). So itd be Neptune NOT Poseidon and Minerva NOT Athena, if you talk about this myth to me and refer to them by their Greek counterparts or call it Greek mythology I will bite you.

Medusa in Greek myth was a gorgon, she was a monster by birth and had two sisters whose names i cant remember right now. She had two children from Poseidon that sprung from her neck after Perseus beheaded her, the winged horse Pegasus and Chrysaor who is often depicted as a young man.

2. Speaking of the hero, PERSEUS ISNT THIS WOMAN HATING MONSTER GOOD LORDS AND LADIES AND HERMAPHRODITUS, I HATE THIS TAKE SO MUCH

Infact my mans drank his respect women juice. The reason why he went after medusa was because a king that wanted him dead and to (forcibly) marry his mommy, Danae. The king trying to get Percy killed told him to go get the gorgons head. Afterwhich when Percy succeeded he turned the king into stone with the Medusa head and became king

Sometime during the bringing of the head to the king, Percy came across this princess, Andromeda, chained to a rock to be a sacrifice and he saved her.

So again not a monster.

So summary:

SA victim Medusa = Roman myth

Monster/gorgon Medusa = Greek myth

Perseus = mama's boy.

PERCY JACKSON WAS NAMED AFTER PERSEUS FOR BEING THE ONLY HAPPY HERO AND I KNOW FOR A FACT PERSEUS HAD DONE HIS SHIT BECAUSE

Achilles: son of an (extremely) minor godess, kills thousands of people easily and wins a battle against a river

Perseus: son of the god of the sky and ruler or all gods, dies because he accidentally turned Medusa’s head the wrong way

I love how even Greek mythology agrees that it doesn’t matter whatsoever who your parents are, you can still be an absolute idiot
