Didn't she weave a tapestry making GBS threads on the gods for all their, you know, poo poo like this or Zeus raping people and the like?

That was also undeniably better than Athena's thing, of course.

Well yeah, she just weaved a pony.

Arachnea was so good at weaving that she said she could beat the Gods themselves. Athena was like "nuh-uh" and she was like "uh uh" so they had a weaving duel, and she did beat the Goddess so she was like "Well if you're so good at weaving then how about you weave for the rest of your life?" :smug: and turned her into a spider.

The greek gods are so believable to me because they act exactly like a normal person would when granted godly powers. It's like a Mount Olympus prison experiment.

Artemis was probably the least crazy goddess because most the people she did bad poo poo to were because they tried to abduct and/or rape her.

Or peeped on her in the bath, which necessitated being turned into a deer and then torn apart by his own dogs.

Artemis is the best.

Attempted to rape Athena.

The person who said Hestia is the least hosed up is right but iirc she mostly just hung out at home.

e: and Demeter didn't do anything hosed up I can recall offhand.

I was going to make this exact comment, except I was going to spell out It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Artemis is solid. The way she went from a fairly standard and uninteresting throw-away character in her first appearance, to her current status as major utility player, is one of my favorite developments on the show. I like how they pepper her into episodes without wearing her out with overuse.

Hephaestus is my favorite because he figured out his wife was banging Ares, devised a nearly invisible net trap for his bed so that next time they banged, they'd be ensnared.

They get trapped mid-coitus, ol' Heph jumps out from behind a curtain to drag them to the middle of Mt. Olympus for the other gods to laugh at their naked asses.

Sometimes I look back and remember my father pointing me in the direction of Greco-Roman myth when I was looking for something to read around age eight or nine, and I laugh. Thanks, Dad! I really liked the bits with Oedipus!

Between Odin and Loki I don't think there's anything that went unfucked.

The Norse believed witchcraft had to be done with jizz, specifically someone else's jizz. Odin was determined to learn every form of magic.

Ah, mythology.

It would probably be more accurate to call it the Canaanite God or a Mesopotamian god as the story predates Christianity by a loooong time

Everyone knows the difference between stingrays and manta rays but landlubbers and daft cunts

I even once almost caught an eagle ray on a squid jag when I was a kid. And then the adults wondered why I had to be carried back to shore rather than wading.
