Dionysus: And then they said "put your hands in the air", and I started dancing. Dionysus: It wasn't until they pulled their gun out that I realized it wasn't that kind of party.

Hera is definitely underrated. The more I read about her, the more I appreciate her.

Apollo: I've said this a lot of times, and I'm gonna say it again now. Mayonnaise is food lube.

Hermes: *nods* Mayonnaise is food lube.

Apollo: You put the mayonnaise on the food to lube the food so that it slides down the tube. That's why you do it.

Hermes: If dad's ever been mad at anything I've said, he hasn't done shit about it. So either he doesn't care or he's a coward.

Weird question, but is there actual evidence that the goddess Macaria was, like, a real thing? Are there references to her in contemporary sources? Because the only text I can find referencing her is the Suda, which was compiled by Christians in the 10th century, and looking at the translation it mostly seems to be talking about an old euphemism. I'm not saying that that's not anything, but its definitely not a lot. Please, if anyone knows more about this tell me all the details. I'm not an expert on this stuff but would love to know as much as possible.

Artemis: Gods, I hate men.

Apollo: What about me?

Artemis: You're not a man; you're my brother.

Artemis: But since you ask, yes. I hate you too.

All I want is for someone to ask me a really specific question about Greek mythology with a really nuanced answer I can spend hours getting into and have them not run away screaming. Is that too much to ask?

Athena: What kind of rock is "amirite"?

Artemis: Well, you are what you eat.

Apollo: Is that why I'm such an asshole?

Artemis: *spits out drink*

Persephone turned Minthe into a mint plant out of rage so... Dyu think that makes her hate mint?

Just wondering

That’s fun to think about. Thanks for the question!

Getting historical, mint was used in ancient Greek funerary rites as one of many offerings to the dead, which implies at the very least Persephone allowed mint into Hades and didn’t hate those who brought it. I want to imagine that Persephone was actually quite fond of the smell of mint. She was a nature goddess after all--I can’t picture her hating any plant. There must have been a reason she chose it of all plants to turn Minthe into. What if she chose mint because she liked the smell, but Hades was didn’t? That would certainly be a cruel, karmic punishment for insulting the Queen of the Dead. The man you love no longer loves you and his wife uses you to freshen up her chambers.
