Funny ways to have people explain why gods aren’t allowed to meddle in mortal affairs anymore:
Look. Kin-Slaying is a big taboo, possibly the biggest taboo for everyone everywhere. And we can’t do a war when Zeus has fucked everyone’s child bearing folks and therefore everyone is technically kin, and technically Zeus’ kin. And now everyone’s become a really complicated kind of off limits due to not fitting Olympian exception rules and therefore just being like “well I am very dissatisfied with this situation.”
#yes I am still thinking about the logistics of Dionysus vs Perseus with Heracles#when I think they should not all be alive at the same time but also are#Heracles is 41 and also old as balls#and dies shortly before the Iliad which does not feature Dionysus#Dionysus has an entire lifetime series of adventures before being accepted as an Olympian god because he is Technically Mortal Born#but unlike all other mortal born children of Zeus he’s a god either because he burned his mortal form off with Zeus’ light ugh#possesses Zagreus’ heart and was a full god all along#or breast fed from Rhea and gained Mother Fucking Magic#or all of the above and also he’s a nature god and nature gods are not fucking playing#but that only makes sense if he has Zagreus’ heart and maintains a line of Demeter-Persephone-Zagreus-Dionysus#and therefore his nature powers are an extension of Persephone and Demeter who are two of the most powerful goddesses#but I think it’s something that helps make sense of the already present nature aspect of his being
