a quick psa to anyone recently getting into greek mythology and is a victim of tumblr and/or tiktok misconceptions:
-there is no shame in being introduced to mytholgy from something like percy jackson, epic the musical or anything like that, but keep in mind that actual myths are going to be VERY different from modern retellings
-the myth of medusa you probably know (her being a victim of poseidon and being cursed by athena) isn't 100% accurate to GREEK mythology (look up ovid)
-there is no version of persephone's abduction in which persephone willingly stays with hades, that's a tumblr invention (look up homeric hymn to demeter)
-as much as i would like it, no, cerberus' name does not mean "spot" (probably a misunderstanding from this wikipedia article)
-zeus isn't the only god who does terrible things to women, your fav male god probably has done the same
-on that note, your fav greek hero has probably done some heinous shit as well
-gods are more complicated than simply being "god of [insert thing]", many titles overlap between gods and some may even change depending on where they were worshipped
-also, apollo and artemis being the gods of the sun and the moon isn't 100% accurate, their main aspects as deities originally were music and the hunt
-titans and gods aren't two wholly different concepts, titan is just the word used to decribe the generation of gods before the olympians
-hector isn't the villain some people make him out to be
-hephaestus WAS married to aphrodite. they divorced. yes, divorce was a thing in ancient greece. hephaestus' wife is aglaia
-ancient greek society didn't have the same concepts of sexuality that we have now, it's incorrect to describe virgin goddesses like artemis and athena as lesbians, BUT it's also not wholly accurate to describe them as aromantic/asexual, it's more complex than that
-you can never fully understand certain myths if you don't understand the societal context in which they were told
-myths have lots and lots of retellings, there isn't one singular "canon", but we can try to distinguish between older and newer versions and bewteen greek and roman versions
-most of what you know about sparta is probably incorrect
-reading/waching retellings is not a substitute to reading the original myths, read the iliad! read the odyssey! i know they may seem intimidating, but they're much more entertaining than you may think
greek mythology is so complex and interesting, don't go into it with preconcieved notions! try to be open to learn!
Ithaca saga completely changed my brain chemistry.
Observing Carlos sainz while being neutral is so interesting bc on one hand you have absolutely devoted fans that will shit on different drivers and their fans for him
And on the other there are just as passionate haters that will shit on him for anything and everything
And then there me who just watch all of the arguments from the side and mostly here to read fanfiction
Antonius: Only the ocean and I will know~
Poseidon: Oh Tartarus nah!
Poseidon: The ocean will snitch! The ocean will snitch so hard!
Poseidon: The ocean will be pulling up to your king with a clipboard, tell him to sit down, and explain in incredible detail everything that happened with bullet points.
Poseidon: The ocean will be showing a PowerPoint presentation of the event.
the monza 2024 flashbacks are killing me-
Anytime I see these two names side by side on the grid I am haunted by the cursed words..
“Papaya Rules”
The mentale gymnastics some people are doing in the last couple days to try and discredit oscar's talent is mind boggling These results aren't because he's been favored but because there are results of his improvement over these past 3 years if you truly pay attention to races and not just read the stats year by year his improving you don't even have to like him to see that
