Iamblichus, The Life Of Pythagoras (trans. Guthrie)

So there was this sentiment that young boys are the dearest to the gods, and the gods are especially attentive towards their requests. And since Apollo is a perpetual young boy himself, with Zeus being the one to grant him this gift in one version, it makes sense that Zeus has granted so many of Apollo's wishes. He spared Prometheus and Periphas upon Apollo's request even though he was personally offended by them. He agreed to suppress Gaia and Athena upon Apollo's request when it came to the oracular business. He even revived Asclepius to console Apollo despite Apollo's frankly disrespectful reaction to Asclepius' death.

I wonder how it would feel to be a deadbeat father.

Like, I wonder how it would feel, knowing you made a child, and your job as a father is to nurture, teach, support and grow that child to be the best person they can be— and fucking up so badly that you can’t even consider yourself a father anymore.

Like I wonder how it would feel knowing you’re seen as a disappointment to your child. I wonder how it would feel knowing that sometimes, sometimes even more than sometimes, your child is embarrassed to be seen with you. I wonder how it would feel knowing your child is concerned for you and your well-being, yet can do nothing because you refuse to get help.
