If Apollo would be an animal that would be a dolphin.

I'm not going to elaborate nor apologize.

I've also seen people commenting about how that statue of Medusa is feminist because she has "deep hips" or "asymmetrical breasts", so she's doesn’t fit into the beauty standards... as if this isn't real human anatomy that every woman is supposed to have.

I dislike the whole "imperfections that are beautiful" trend, because most of the time those videos end up showing already conventionally attractive women, so their "flaws" only add to their attractiveness.

Get more courage and depict actually monstruous/unattractive women if you genuinely want to spread this type of message.

Found this article on Medusa and it really rubs me the wrong way

Boshemia Magazine

"The face of our own rage"- a feminist interpretation of Greek mythological figure Medusa and female rage. — Boshemia Magazine

The image of a monstrous woman is used to belittle, shame and discourage powerful women, teaching them to adhere to the status quo and remem

Especially this bit:

First off “she was a victim before a monster” is just not true, her earliest versions (Hesiod’s Theogony) all have her born as a monster and the first time she was ever depicted as a victim is by Ovid, centuries later.

Secondly, “soft and womanly” I thought ppl liked Medusa bc she was ugly and didn’t fall into beauty standards set by men yet every single “feminist” depiction of her looks like a pretty human woman with snake hair, I just don’t get it… and here they are talking about how making Medusa more human and feminine is feminist actually, bc ig ugly and masculine (Medusa sometimes had a beard) women just don’t cut it.

Everybody is talking about how Hades and Persephone are uncle and niece (and depending on their impression on them they try to either emphasize or erase this aspect), but let's talk about how Iasion was usually Zeus' son with Electra (No, not that Electra. Another one...), which would make Demeter and Iasion aunt and nephew. So the idea that he was both Persephone's brother and her kinda-somehow-depending-on-how-you-view-it step father is... interesting.

Persephone: Mom, I want to talk with you about Plutus' father.

Demeter: Iasion?

Persephone: Did you make him with someone else?

Demeter: Oh, right...

Persephone: You do know that he was young enough to be your son, don't you?

Demeter: And you do know that Hades is old enough to be your father, don't you?

Persephone: ...

Demeter: That's what I was saying.

So... there's a species of caecilian discovered in the Brazilian Amazon named Atretochoana. But everybody calls it the Penis Snake, despite the fact that it's not a penis nor a snake. 😶
