Not everything the Christians do is stolen from some anonymous pagan culture. I'm sorry y'all but the Christians did actually come up with a bunch of shit on their own.

Hestia with bronze skin, warm and dark like the shadows her fire casts.
Hestia with wide, fluttering eyes, each the colour of honey and cocoa powder.
Hestia with a pumpkin orange veil over her chocolate curls.
Hestia, looking as warm as she is on the inside.

Noumenia Prayer to Zeus Ktesios
Zeus Ktesios, mighty serpentine protector of the home.
Hear me, most-revered king of the immortals:
You who are the source of abundance and prosperity,
As you descend, lightning-cloaked, towards the earth,
Bringing your rains unto the fertile ground.
And you are the benevolent lord of all realms,
Granting blessings of wealth upon the storerooms of mortals.
Your generosity is felt within every meal I partake in:
And with gratitude in my heart I call to you,
Requesting your divine aid once again.
Watch over our home from above, great Zeus,
Keep our possessions safe and our pantry full.
May my words reach you upon lofty Olympos,
So you may be favorable towards our oikos in the coming month.

(Ranting about a comment I saw on TikTok.)
I genuinely need people to stop blaming ancient Greek religion/the gods for ancient Greek societal conventions like infanticide, slavery, and misogyny.
Exposed infants were protected by Kourotrophos gods!
Versions of the gods exist who were liberators of enslaved persons!
Women undeniably found the most freedom in the religious sphere!
For all of ancient Greece's sociocultural conservatism, the gods virtually demanded that worshippers subvert customs. In the words of my professor, "The Greek gods are a lot more progressive than you'd expect from the conservative ancient Greeks."

Y'all @/shuttered-gallery that posts "art" from the 1800s by Emile Corsi is all AI art. It's reblogged by tons of pagans/polytheists because of the aesthetics, which is why I'm writing this. Please stop reblogging AI art.
They disclose its AI art in tags but not in the post so that disclaimer gets lost the moment its reblogged once.
