What working in the Greek/Hellenic pantheon tradition is like:

(Posted twice to include complete Alt-text, and also cuz THE ACCURACY)
africanaquarian: me, learning about the greek pantheon in elementary: wow, I love athena, so brave and smart me, after reading about the story of medusa: athena is a spiteful, dumb bitch who can't direct her anger at the right people! wack ass hoe indicativeof-sideways-escalation Me, after learning than Medusas head was used as a sign of safety and female autonomy in women's spaces because it was seen as a gift from Athena, to allow Medusa never to be harmed that way again: oh dope, Athenas on our side. Kill a man who dares to look upon you with possession in his heart. Me, after learning that Athena holds herself to the 'not like other girls' standard and usuallys sides with whatever the nearest dick-toting diety says: what the fuck what a fake bitch Me, after learning that most of the media depicting Greek Gods by the ancient Greeks that survives today was commissioned, designed, and made by men, and therefore does not depict female interpretation or telling of the myths, and… …probably extremely biased towards a misogynistic portrayal of a strong woman: the canon Athena was in our hearts all along. buckmebuchanan: Me, after hearing the myth about Athena cursing Arachne into the first spider because she beat the goddess in a weaving contest: What a bitch? The Arrogance. Me, after hearing there are three versions of the myth, and the others have Arachne hang herself in shame so Athena brought her back to life as a spider and the third version having Zeus curse the loser to never touch a spindle wheel and when Arachne lost Athena took pity on her and transformed her so she could weave without breaking her oath: Goddess just wanted this fine artist to weave forever, doing what she loved. she ain't that bitch
