I adore how in every Hymn to Artemis or Apollo the poet takes a paragraph or so to go: And I would like to take this opportunity to say that they have a mum that loves them to bits and that they would absolutely kill for

ASK CHATGPT??????? i would NEVER. i ask all my questions to the pythia at the oracle of delphi like apollo intended.

the fact that zeus is not only a paternal god but also one who has explicitly carried and given birth to his own children... i think it's beautiful & i would love to see more depictions of zeus as the patron and protector of pregnant trans men.

alsooo smth smth zeus consuming metis is actually really wild because zeus' mind is such a major part of his power. the mind of zeus is holy and unknowable and the mind of the universe itself. and metis' name literally means wisdom/cunning and there is even a homeric epithet for him coming from that word. metis is the embodiment of that cunning intellect and she is feminine!!!! the mind of zeus is embodied as a feminine being and zeus integrates her into himself and the product of that union is athena, who governs war and philosophy and politics– the realms of men– in the appearance of a woman (and also rules over weaving, the primary activity of women). and she was birthed by the Father King. i mean can you ask for more divine androgyny?
