Thanks To The Looney Tunes Dionysus Meme Now I Cannot Look At That One 300IQ Scene From Bugs Bunny Without

Thanks to the Looney Tunes Dionysus meme now I cannot look at that one 300IQ scene from Bugs Bunny without thinking of him.

I know that the myth of Oedipus is about how one cannot avoid destiny, but honestly it's funny to know that Oedipus left his home because his adoptive parents didn't tell him that he's not their biological child.

And that, good people, is why having an open conversation with your family is very important.

HE'S SMILING I SWEAR I SAW HIM SMILING!!!

Me after reading about the same 2 people falling in love for the 116283682637th time:

While it is true that Ancient Greeks were more ableist, you have to keep in mind the fact that WW1 weapons and technology were way more advanced (to be fair WW1 represented a major transition from traditional to modern weapons). Here's a short list with some of them:

Also, this is the actual damage that war caused to soldiers:

There's a difference between having scars and having your entire face permanently desfigured.

This was also the main reason why restorative face masks were so famous back then. These men were so worried of how people would react when they would see them because their own faces were a constant reminder of the disturbing, traumatising war that many wanted to forget.

Also, here's a short video about Anna Coleman Ladd and her prosthetics:

Now, I'm not saying that an ancient soldier couldn't have been permanently desfigured as well, but that the chances of the injuries to be so calamitous were very rare.

I imagine that Amphitryon had some really nasty battle scars, something that really messed up his face. I read that WW1 veterans who had deformities due to the war where ashamed of going outside and even being with their loved ones, so they had to wear prosthetics, now imagine that but in Ancient Greece where they were way more ableist and hateful toward anything and anyone considered ugly and they didn’t have any prosthetics.

I imagine he was deeply insecure about returning to Alcmene, he fought this war for her and he’s ashamed to not return in one piece. Perhaps when Zeus visited Alcmene disguised as Amphitryon, he didn’t care to stay true to his scars and instead had perfect skin (partially bc of vanity but also bc Alcmene wouldn’t know), but then when she sees her real husband she’s relieved, she’d take comfort in knowing she’ll never be deceived again, bc no one can (or would) replicate Amphitryon’s humanity and imperfections.

Socrates: “We are in a kind of prison, and must not free ourselves or run away.”

Also Socrates: *commits suicide*

Found the post:

Don't know if it's just me, but if you need to belittle the person ("crazy self-proclaimed greek mythology expert") instead of criticizing the opinion by bringing up any arguments then you just cannot accept the fact that other people have different views and nobody can have the same perpection on something.

Lmao, I never proclaimed myself to be an expert tf.

Sorry I pointed out something that the vast majority of Greek mythology fans who watched the show have pointed out already. Hera would never cheat, especially with Poseidon, end of story.
