#where the Titanomachy is won by Nyx and Erebos instead of weak and lame-ass Zeus & the other Olympians

One of my most disliked tropes in Greek myth-based fiction: the myths you know are actually a lie made up by the jerkass gods/patriarchy/whomever. Not because it doesn't have the potential to be interesting (I do find it somewhat intriguing in theory), but because more often than not it's just a lazy excuse to write an original story while taking advantage of the popularity of Greek myth. And I also, you know, actually like Greek mythology so when I pick up a book on the subject I'd like it to be about Greek mythology.
#@the hideous series I read recently#where the Titanomachy is won by Nyx and Erebos instead of weak and lame-ass Zeus & the other Olympians#and Zeus is forced into permanent house arrest by Nyx and Hera is killed by Hekate (lol)#and Persephone never actually leaves the underworld because she is a girlboss and Demeter is a bitch#and everything you thought you know is propaganda from the weak and lame-ass gods who want to seem cooler than they actually are#yuck#ramblings#pet peeve#greek mythology
