I think The Hera of Zeus: Intimate Enemy, Ultimate Spouse should be required reading for anyone who wants to say anything about Hera, her dynamic with Zeus, or her actions towards mortal women and heroes
#this book is so good#i’m reading the third and last part right now and it’s one of the best academic books i know#it actually analyses things! it’s so helpful#instead of saying the same 'Hera is a jealous woman / Hera hates Zeus / their mariage is abusive and unequal /#Hera hurts Zeus’ lovers without any reason / Hera would kill Zeus if she could' or any other common takes it goes so much deeper#and shows how that’s actually not at all the case#i rarely enjoy an academic book that much#helpol#classics#hera#the hera of zeus#zeus#hera deity#zeus and hera#zeus & hera#tagamemnon

Five minutes before god games:
#epic the wisdom saga#epic the musical#personal opinion on why everyone participated:#Apollo#<- forced to be there stuck around cause he wanted to listen to listen to everyone sing#Hephaestus#<- forced to be there and only participated so he could get back to work#Aphrodite#<- only did it cause ares was also there#Ares#<- Hera told him to do it#Hera#<- Zeus is her husband so-

i like to imagine that the rest of the gods on olympus were all watching ody turn poseidon into swiss cheese, with a variety of emotions throughout them.
zeus: *impressed but slightly very worried* maybe i let him cook for too long on that island.
zeus: oh well rather poseidon than me
hera: *mainly nonchalant but hiding a tiny smile behind her chalice*
hera: *after hearing next to my wife* that is what you call a man who loves his wife *side eyes zeus*
zeus: *sweats*
hephaestus: *kind of impressed* well he avenged his crew *shrugs*
ares: *in awe* athena didn't lie about the bloodshed!
ares: *hears poseidon beg for mercy* *odysseus doesn't give him that*
ares: *now in love with ody* THIS IS MY FAVOURITE MORTAL EVER
aphrodite: *just blinking in disbelief* he's not wasting anymore time to get home i guess?
hermes: *is proud but also in slight shock* thats a mindset change alright...
hermes: *gasps* i need to tell athena!
hermes: *grins* but first-
hermes: guess ~ i ~ should be the one to take poor dear uncle to the infirmary! *giggles at the drama he's about to cause there*
apollo: *sighs* let me get another bed made up
apollo: *heads off to his olympus infirmary*
#listen if you see hera heading into hephaestus' forge#inquiring about tridents the next time zeus cheats on her#no you didn't#zeus: *arriving back on olympus* *shivers* something just happened#ares now just constantly gushes to athena and aphrodite about odysseus#epic the musical#epic the vengeance saga#epic: the musical#epic: the vengeance saga#odysseus epic#poseidon epic#athena epic#zeus epic#hera epic the musical#apollo epic the musical#hermes epic the musical#epic ares#aphrodite epic#hephaestus epic the musical#epic the musical spoilers#epic the vengeance saga spoilers#crack#incorrect quotes

reason's to watch kaos:
queers everywhere
the furies are butches that ride motorcycles
the fates are genderqueering it up in a sexy little dive bar in the desert
eurydice and orpheus tale but eurydice is sick of orpheus and about to break up with him before she's sent to the underworld. except she can't pass over because orpheus also took her gold coin to keep her in place so he can rescue her. cue eurydice growing more bitter about him.
disabled daedalus
trans amazonian stories
dionysus is there getting rawed by cute boys in bars
prometheus and charon are boy toys together
billie piper as cassandra
zeus and poseidon torture human beings for fun. it's a pass time of theirs.
hades is a sleepy old man who can barely keep his head up and pesephone is a hot babe secretly in charge of the underworld. she's hades backbone.
zeus has a house full of pretty boys in tiny shorts that he kills for sport and they never complain :)
poseidon's huge bulge on display at all times
hera is as much a prisoner to zeus as zeus is a prisoner to her and they keep esch other like prison wardens

When you step into sunlight, you honor Apollo. When you admire the moon, you honor Artemis. When you admire cloud shapes, you honor Hera. When you smell petrichor, you honor Zeus. When you laugh at a joke, you honor Hermes. When your body twitches to dance at a particularly upbeat music, you honor Dinoysus. When you enjoy the first bite of your breakfast, you honor Demeter. When you choose your peace over any conflict, you honor Athena. When you warm yourself up by sheltering yourself in blanket, you honor Hestia. When you listen to Ocean sounds, you honor Poseidon. When you smell flowers, you honor Persephone. When you admire the coolness of first day of Autumn, you honor Hades. When you wear your favourite jewellery, you honor Hephaestus. When you smile, you honor Aphrodite. When you exercise, you honor Ares. When you light a torch in a dark room, you honor Hekate.
Your body is a shrine to Gods, your being an act of devotion for them. You, by yourself, are enough for them.

Zeus, Hera and Dionysos being called the lesbian triad by these authors is iconic imo. yes they are. lesbian Dionysos isn’t a new thought for me but now i’m also thinking of butch Zeus with femme Hera and i love that
from The Hera of Zeus : Intimate Enemy, Ultimate Spouse, in an extract about Hera’s cult in Lesbos
#this is probably a sign that i shouldn’t be trying to read academic stuff rn#i’m so tired#in 1h30 i read like 20 pages#my brain doesn’t work#BUT lesbian gods !!#hellenic polytheism#helpol#classics & queerness#classics#the hera of zeus#hera#zeus#dionysos#dionysus

You don't get Hestia as an option because what, you think I'm gonna make this EASY on you?

Epic!Hera having a Groovy 70/80's aesthetic is something i really love, since i'm used to seen her being despicted as a very regal goddess, so seen her dancing and posing in the animatic of God Games was a pretty funny and original to me.
Crazy thing is that is not even the first time i see Hera with this type of vibe, since Destripando la Historia used the song "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" by ABBA as inspiration for Hera's song, wich was released in 1979 and is very catchy and upbeat song. I guess musicians just read about Hera and somehow get very Grooby vibes from her.

Aphrodite who cries for the people who hurt themselves because self love is love too
Artemis who doesn’t hunt animals anymore (humans do it enough) She now walks in clubs looking to hunt the real animal
Athena who donates hundreds of books to local libraries and schools
Apollo who watches all street musicians hoping their talents can get them a little money (He gives more than a little)
Dionysus who watches over everyone’s drinks at the bar making sure they stay safe
Zeus who makes it rain for the couples that just want to frolic and dance and kiss in the rain
Hera who donates to woman’s and SA survivors shelters
Ares who is at the forefront of every protest because those are battles too
Hestia who holds and keeps thousands of secrets so the ones who whispered them into flame don’t have to
Hades who let’s families get one last goodbye to a loved one before they die
Persephone who personally makes sure that the ones taken too early feel safe and secure in the Underworld
Demeter who gives Her best crops to food banks and homeless shelters
Hecate who is a street magician and does actual magical for the kids
Poseidon who finds the best seashells and leaves them on the beach for someone to find and treasure
the Gods aren’t gone they ARE the little things in life
