On some level, I recognize the connection they're making: they're both truly awful people with an overblown sense of entitlement who don't know how to accept that no means no.

However, there's a slight difference between them in terms of conscience that actually makes me equate Minthe more with Apollo's father, Zeus.

Yeah, this obnoxious dic...tator who doesn't know the meaning of self-restraint or fidelity.

However, the difference between him and Apollo, and the thing that he has in common in Minthe, is that both of them have just enough self-awareness to realize that they're crappy people, but it's not enough to actually make them change (see Episode 94 and Episode 76 for reference).

Whereas Apollo...

...Pretty sure that dude's a representation of a sociopath.

You know who his closest parallel is, though?

Thetis.

The manipulative, shameless homewrecker who doesn't care who she hurts to get what she wants.

She and Apollo would be a match made...somewhere.

And unlike both of them, Minthe is actually making an effort to change and better herself, and while she's still got a long way to go towards being a good person, I feel a lot more sympathy towards her.

You go, girl.
