Eating his own children does seem bad, but once you look at how they turned out it's clear the babies had really bad vibes.

I always liked the idea that the story of Hades and Persephone is just her crazy mother's side of the story like from an estranged parent forum when what really happened was Persephone just wanted to get away from her. Not the best foundation for a marriage, but when your mom is so controlling that she plunges the entire world in a cold darkness because she doesn't like your boyfriend, what are you gonna do?

This is a huge plot point in the Hades video game and results in a pretty cool moment when the reveal hits.

Quite a few people doing revisionist takes on myths have taken that spin. I think it's because Demeter comes across poorly in it while Hades is a bit contradictory.

If we're talking Egypt, Geb created humanity by cranking one into the river, and/or his wife Nut. Powerful move.

imo the Greek Gods are like the funniest because, at least to me, it seems like most religions tend to portray gods as enlightened beings. Not necessarily perfect or all knowing, but at least operating on a level above humans. But the Greek Gods are every bit as petty, vindictive, vain, and just generally lovely as human beings are. Like someone just picked a number of everyday human jerks at random, gave them immortality and some powers, and there you go there's the gods lol.

FWIW the Greek religious establishment did portray gods as sober, divine beings that were above the follies of petty mortals. Once people stopped actually worshipping them the "frat house on a cloud" portrayal from drama/poetry survived better because it's more interesting.

Did I just say that out loud~~?!!!

This is legit the dumbest, like, elementary school level one-upsmanship god. Like the ancient Hebrews were like "Oh yeah? Well my god is so powerful he can see everything at once, and do anything, and all the things your gods can do times infinity!!" They even mention the other gods and evidently also believed them to be real, and were just like "Nah but gently caress those gods, our god is the best and is better, and more powerfuler than they are!"

this is loving me up if it's true. it sounds more plausible than what i believed from reading the myths, and also more boring, so it's got the sad ring of truth

This is why polytheism owns, once people get bored of multiple gods they're all giant assholes loving each other over, while monotheist religions never get to the "making fun of God" part of the plan.

Yahweh isn't the only God of judaism. El and Adonai are also God, maybe, kind of. It's to be pretended that they are all the same deity.

Sorry sorry, YHWH or Hashem, we aren't supposed to say their name, oh gently caress *gets smited*
