since bean is writing about the gods , i though it would be a good idea to say some stuff i noticed about them.
*zeus, the head honcho, is also kind of a jerk. he is like king henry VII. he want food, drink, power, women, flattery. hes not nice to anyone, and he angers easily.
*actually, all the gods are like that, if not as much. the women are bitches (especially aphrodite- ick.), and the men are power-grabbing jerks. therefore, according to the greeks,
*you have to be nasty to get power.
*you also have to be really good looking and/or kill your dad.
*aphrodite, the goddess of love, doesn't love anyone except occasionally ares. this would suggest that love is good for nothing but causing trouble.
*hera, as stated by bean, is an old hag who has nothing better to do that nag her husband. in her defense, i would be a nasty person if my husband was zeus. maybe the greeks werent into marriage. im not either, actually.
*hephaestus is crippled, ugly, and doesnt talk much. yet he gets more done than any of the other gods. actually, he's the only male god with a real job. maybe thats the greeks looking down on the working class.
*the odd thing about the myths is that they were composed like gossip. there is no reverence for the gods in them. theyre just stories, and the gods dont behave well at all. yet these stories are supposed to teach lesson. this is hard to understand.
my favorite god are:
female- i like hestia, then demeter, then athena. although athena can get nasty sometimes.
male-this is hard. most of the male gods are jerks. i like hephaestus, then apollo, then john lennon.
if i had a daughter, i would name her demeter.
if i had a son, i would name him apollo.
