me trying to explain to some of the dumbass people on this website that ancient greece was actually a horrifically misogynistic society and as fun as feminist retellings of myths are the feminist lens is a lens of analysis and not grounds for rewriting thousands of years old stories that actually reflect how horribly women were treated in greece and by erasing that you end up with a picture of an ideal society that just simply did not exist which is harmful because at the end of the day it is historical revisionism that harms womxn and yes i’m especially talking to you the “persephone pegs hades” crowd

Let’s get one thing straight.....
I didn’t want to be a half-blood. I didn’t even know what that was until 2 years ago. Apparently 15 is late to find out that the parent who abandoned you is a God or Goddess but here I was about to be attacked by an ugly winged demon thing on a field trip for school. Suddenly all hell broke loose in my world. I was told to pack my things and was sent to OlympCampus. The orientation was something out of a storybook.
OH HEY BY THE WAY! NOT ONLY ARE YOU STRANGE BUT YOUR MOTHER IS A GODDESS WHO HASNT CLAIMED YOU YET! CONGRATS AMARA
Nothing seems normal anymore. It took two weeks for my mother to claim me. A glowing pomegranate above my head. I’m damn near forbidden really. How did Persephone get 9 whole months out of Hell to have me? Hades would’ve never allowed it, would he? He just didn’t seem the type. My life was going off the deep end fast
I love OlympCampus don’t get me wrong. Well I love it now I didn’t at first. I felt out of place and strange and like I would never learn. I felt dumb around the other students. I was coming in late and it showed. If I could tell 15 year old Amara that she would one day love her “dumb old boarding school”. That only 2 years later she would lead tours of the school for new Half-bloods and help comfort the new students, I don’t think she’d believe me.
It’s nearly my 18th birthday so I’ve decided to start writing about my experiences at school and being a Daughter of a Greek Goddess.

:There is so much more to the Persephone story than...
It’s literally never a story about “choice” and the tumblr fad of making the mother an evil controlling bitch is so misogynistic it’s gross as hell.
lol it’s a highly metaphorical fictional myth created in a time period of extreme misogyny, one that has multiple levels of interpretations and analysis in academia on top of multitudes of re-imaginings by feminist poets and storytellers, many of which that involve the discussion of power and choice through metaphor and indeed explore the topic of abusive overbearing mothers, which is a real thing that happens to real women in their real lives, but I mean stay intense and mad at dumb shit if that’s what gets you through the day
