see someone spreading misinformation about ancient greece online, gently correct them, they say "well discerning whats canon and whats fanon in greek mythology is really difficult". i am killed instantly.
#my brother in christ contemporary texts are free online <3
#sometimes by multiple different translators
#trying to correct people who believe that in the '''''original myth'''''' persephone just walked to the underworld of her own accord is hel
#fyi i was saying hell on earth and ran out of letters
#i was not trying to be quirky and reference a completely separate culture's myths i prommy
#if i ever use 'hel' in like a casual context instead of when specifically talking about norse mythology i need to be put down
#greek mythology
#i speak
#reminds me of that post that claimed that gorgon heads were used to mark womens shelters in ancient greece w/ no source
#and everyone believed it
#as if gorgon heads weren't on basically every building
#(being hyperbolic obv but. basically)
#like i don't get this modern urge to give power and agency to women in mythology by either
#(a) pretending nothing bad ever happened to them and everything was of their own volition (bad. stop it.)
#or (b) pretending that they have uniquely bad stuff happen to them and no one else had bad stuff happen to them and its only this lady
#so therefore everyone else involved is evil (also bad. also stop it.)
#like when one of those modern 'feminist retelling' greek myth stories w/ the same covers about ariadne
#it actively adds bad stuff to happen to ariadne when shes a mortal woman in greco roman myth who actually gets a happy ending
#like whats the point of that??
