I Love How Everyone, From Ancient Greeks To Classical Artists To 21th Century Greek Mythology Fans Mutually

I love how everyone, from ancient greeks to classical artists to 21th century greek mythology fans mutually decided that Perseus has a juicy ass. Let's keep it that way.

Nobody talks about Aphrodite and the Lemnian Women enough:

Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 1. 114 (trans. Aldrich) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.) : "Lemnos happened to have no males at the time [when the Argonauts visited the island], and was ruled by Hypsipyle, the daughter of Thoas. The reason for this was that the women of Lemnos had failed to give due honour to Aphrodite, in return for which she afflicted them with a foul odour. Whereupon their husbands took to bed women whom they captured from neighbouring Thrake. For this dishonourable treatment the Lemnian women slew their fathers and husbands."

The exact same person who tortured Psyche, tried to kill her, made people commit sexual crimes and cursed parents to lust after their children (and vice-versa) decided to punish a group of women by making them smell bad.

To be fair these pictures give me stronger Athena vibes than any picture of a big owl, so I can see why she chose them instead.

Shout-out to the great goddess of wisdom, master of war and crafts, oh clear-eyed badass queen

For choosing out of all the great majestic owls there are, this one:

Like... It's so scruffy. It looks like it got into the rain and didn't enjoy it one bit. I wanna put it into a blanket burrito. Like what compelled the goddess of I-am-the-best-actually to look at a snow owl or a barn owl or the freaking eagle owl and be like no I want the tiny one that looks like a wet cat, I like that one. Was it the attitude? Cos I think it was the attitude.

Nu but seriously now, what the hell is this?!

I love how everyone, from ancient greeks to classical artists to 21th century greek mythology fans mutually decided that Perseus has a juicy ass. Let's keep it that way.

They are Cersei and Jaime.

“Zeus and Hera are like Cersei and Robert from GoT” excuse me good sir they are Ned and Catelyn Stark

You know for a matter of fact that young Björn Andrésen would've been the perfect cast for Dorian Gray.
