Imagine seeing an interesting beetle keep confidently walking up to random other bugs trying to fight them, losing, and then trying again. That's weird enough to be interesting. You got nothing better to do so you watch it go. It gets flipped over so you take a little straw and help it upwards again, so it gets up and skitters to go fight yet another strange bug and lose. But it lives and keeps going. You keep watching this crazy little creature. There's a puddle in the way it's going, so you put a stick over the puddle so it won't drown because you want to see what dumb thing it will try next. It falls off the stick so you get another straw to gently nudge it out of the water. Determined, the beetle gets back on its five or six little feet and keeps going.
I think that's what it's like from the other side, whenever there's a legendary hero who is favoured by a god. You are a cool, shiny bug, determined to do strange and inadvisable weird shit, and they want to know what the hell you're planning to do next.
