Ares: He was really mad at me. Mars: It's okay, Ares, fathers do that sometimes. Ares: They normally send your half-sister to kill you in battle and tell you that you are entirely replaceable and the only reason why I haven't been replaced yet is because we're related by blood? Mars: Mars: By Jove, no, they don't.

Ares: Are oranges named orange because oranges are orange or is orange called orange because oranges are orange?
Tyr: Which came first, the orange or the orange?
Athena: Orange was first used to refer the fruit 1280 years ago but was not used as a color until 1000 years ago.
Neit: What was the color called before then?
Bellona: There was no color, duh! Everything was black and white!

I'm taking a Classics course this year and it's extremely funny to me that, while some versions do make Kronos into Greek-Satan, in most versions Zeus eventually just... like... releases Kronos after a few centuries.
It's like "Hey dad, yeah, you and the other Titans can come out now. I think ya'll've learned your lesson, just no more eating your kids, K?" And Kronos just... accepts his son's rule. It's honestly hilarious.
From a historical perspective it's meant to be reflective of the Athenian banishment system where you got to return after ten years or so, but it's also endlessly funny to me. Zeus just has his ex-con cannibal father puttering around occasionally offering advice and its usually terrible.
It's even funnier in Roman mythology because in that series of events Saturn (Roman Kronos) and the Titans go to Italy and rule over a Golden Age while making ready for Jupiter and the other Gods to come over with Aneas once the Trojan War is over.
So, I'm proposing an alternative version of Percy Jackson. While the Greeks were fighting the secondd Titan War, the Romans just have to like, settle a dispute between Jupiter and his geriatric father over some bullshit. It's be hilarious.

Do greek gods workout or do they just pop out fucking ripped?
I’ve came to the conclusion that the Greek Gods pop out ripped because Eye of the Tiger didn’t exist back then so people didn’t know how to make epic workout scenes.

Phoebe: For real tho, can anyone explain the difference between romantic and platonic friendships?
Carlos: In a romantic relationship you speak Latin and your empire falls, and in platonic relationships you speak Greek and think about caves.

Ares: My keys fell down the drain again, and my fingers are too titanically muscular to fit through the little metal stripes and rip them out. Mars: Well, maybe we can punch the concrete around it into dust and loosen the bars. Freyja, watching from the side: Himbo convention.

Yo can we talk about that time Persephone snatched someone to the Underworld because she stopped worshipping Artemis?
Tumblr media
Artemis: There's a woman who stopped worshipping me, so I shoot her but let her live.
Persephone, who just dragged said woman to the Underworld: Don't worry bestie, I took care of the rest for you.

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.
