#arete daimon

[arete-virtue]

Can daimons cry?

Can goddesses cry?

To see Arete, on her splendid mountain

Above the world, virtuous as they come

Watching down below?

She watches it all.

She sees the world crumble.

When capitols are stormed

And politics get deep

And lives harmed, she cries.

She is Arete, valor.

And she must watch the twisted valor of humanity.

The twisted "best"- the best that is the worst.

She didn't mean it as this,

She bears the name of greatness.

But if this is the greatest, the greatest country,

The greatest power,

She doesn't want it.

Hey followers! I’m planning on making a playlist for Arete but since I don’t want to this be chock-full of Touhou remixes like usual (I need serious help lmao) I want your ideas! I’m looking for songs that have a can-do attitude, are soft and light, or just have good vibes™.

Wanna just go for a hike, reach the peak. See if I can just feel Arete up there

[arete-virtue]

When I read about Arete being there for Hercules, I wonder if she's doing something similar for others. Keeping me in check, keeping those intrusive thoughts down, always making sure I pick the right path

Homeric Imitation: Arete Hymn

Upon her mountain top, that paradise of purity, may Arete, sweet daimon of valor and virtue, hear our song. We sing for Hercules, his life swayed by her. For the climbers, whose grand fate was her peak. For the followers, the souls who practiced valor. For the believers, who took her with heart and mind for the sake of the gods. Arete, upon her mountain top, hears their song as she hears our. Praised and blessed is Arete, sweet daimon savior.

Who wants to come join the Arete cult? We have mountains and a lifetime of good! Also bees

Oh to be a sculptuer making the Arete statue

You know, if my Hellenic server goes ahead with the pagan village in minecraft I'm claiming two entire mountains, whatever is the most difficult to climb up is getting a flaming nether block "Arete Mountain" sign floating above it while the mountain deity one can be left to its own devices.
