I just saw someone say that Greek Mythology is about Intergenerational Trauma and Abuse. and
I kinda want to scream.
#greek mythology#yes#it's a valid way to use mythology to tell a story#but the greek myths aren't one thing#they are everything at the same time#About desire#about the relationship between Man and nature#about mortals and the divine#Trying to understand the unknown and give meaning to the chaos of the world#about human flaws#and about human greatness#And to have a good laugh at the misfortune of some fools#it's a drama and a sitcom at the same time#it's a clusterfuck of barely coherent random bullshit stappled together with duct tape#and it's some of the most universal stories#in part because of romans being conquerors but still#to try to define it as a single thing because you like that version of that thing is foolish#myth#myths
