[Image Description: 4 quotes from plays and 1 painting. The quotes read as follows, 1: “Someone will see to you! The evil you are is the evil you get.” 2: “Klytemnestra: ‘If you kill me, you kill yourself. Orestes—‘ / Orestes: ‘You did wrong. Now you suffer wrong.’” 3: “He filled this house like a mixing bowl to the brim with evils, now he has drunk it down.” 4: “Menelaos: ‘No, don’t do it!’ / Orestes: ‘Oh, be quiet. Endure what you deserve.’” The painting is of King Agamemnon, murdered in his bath, with a net embroidered over him in red. End description.]

Episode 20

Y/N: Zeus listen an advice from a wise person.

Zeus:Since when you're wise?

Y/N:Shush and hear me out.

Zeus:*sighs and listens*

Y/N:women are like glass....fragile...you can break them...

Zeus:That's true. *smirks*

Y/N: ..BUT....if you try to step on them....they will fucking hurt you*evil smirk*

Zeus:*sweatdrops*

Y/N:And that's why I made a few calls. *snaps their fingers* Ladies!

*all Zeus' human lovers + Hera come out*

Zeus:*knows that he's fucked*

Y/N:I believe that is time for your revenge.

Hera:LET'S FUCKING KICK HIS OLD CHEATING ASS!

The girls: YES!

Zeus: Oh would you look at the time! I gotta go!! *gets chained * WTF!?

Y/N: Not so fast old man. You gotta pay for your crimes *smirks and gives Hera a pair of scissors*

BONUS:

~Olympus~

All the gods could hear Zeus' high pitched screams.

Herakles:Nobody is gonna help him...right??

Hermes:Nope. *smiles*

Ares: I care about my life.*clearly scared of his mother*

Poseidon:Not me *reads*

Hades:He has to learn from his mistakes.

Not me getting back on my Greek Mythology bullshit, but I feel like a lot of adaptations of Herakles gloss over the part of his story where Hera literally mind-controls him into killing his family.

Like, Imagine having your agency, you mind, and your reason stripped from you so completely and utterly by a force you can't fight against or comprehend and that force makes you murder the people you love most in the world. Why aren't writers doing more with that! The horror of Herakles!

How he can't lift his fists or his sword or his club without seeing his families blood and brain stained across them! how he can't look in the mirror without seeing his children's faces staring back at him? How do you come back from that? From being a puppet, the weapon that murders your own family? Can a weapon grieve? Does it have the right to?

Hell, the only reason Herakles doesn't kill himself is because Theseus shoulders some of the weight of the crime by taking his hand. (Probably the most heroic thing Theseus ever does).

The Twelve Labors aren't a quest for glory, they're about a guy going on a suicide run by facing the most insane challenges the world can throw at him, but every time he triumphs he realizes that he doesn't GET to die. He has to keep going. He has to keep living. He has to live with himself.

And then, one day, when he completes another task, and he sees the grateful faces of the people he's saved, the lives he's made a little better, he realizes that he doesn't want to anymore.
