He still doesn’t blame bad, ant, ponk, or punz. Even after he was literally murdered by them.

And I think THAT’S the most telling character trait of foolish. Even after everything, he still believes people can be good.

He’s not naive, he’s literally a god. He’s seen death and murder and destruction. But he still chooses to believe in people, even when they hurt him.

imagine yourself finishing it and, to conclude it, you stand on top of said chandelier and dance to a Toad version of Sia's Chandelier.

has this gone too far?

So far, most of the mythological references are from Greek mythology.

For a start, we know about Techno and Tommy's relations with Theseus; we won't get into that. But that is one of the first direct references to Greek mythology that we see.

Today, Foolish revealed lore about his character which brings me to think he is a combination of Zeus (god of the sky), Poseidon (god of the sea), and Hades (god of the Underworld), as in power.

Here's why:

- He used to be a sea god. (Which is really hecking cool.) Like Poseidon.

- He has control over the sky and can summon lightning (without using a Channeling trident). Foolish said this is due to his sea god powers, but doesn't that seem similar to a Zeus power to you?

- Foolish also used to be a Totem of Death. Additionally, Totems of Undying stop a player from dying, as their name suggest; these are definitely Hades-like powers.

So Foolish has powers of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, the arguably best known and most powerful Greek gods. We already know that he stands at about 23 feet (around 701 cm) tall, which is definitely inhuman. He has also stated to be a god/demigod who has been around for many years, even possibly more than Philza.

(also, note: Foolish and Dream, under Puffy, are brothers in a way... Foolish is a literal demigod/god with the above powers, and Dream has the power to summon the dead thanks to knowledge from the Book of Necromancy. kinda weird that there's a parallel here, isn't it?)

Additionally, Foolish's "summer home" contains elements of and is inspired by Egyptian mythology.

And the Syndicate. They use Greek mythology-related names; definitions taken from here.

Technoblade: Protesilaus A Greek hero in the Trojan War - Despite knowing an oracle had foretold his death at Troy, he was the first Greek warrior to step ashore and consequently the first to fall. He was able to kill a number of Trojans beforehand.

Philza: Zephyrus God of the West Wind, and one of the four seasonal Anemoi (wind gods), often depicted with a pair of wings.

Ranboo: Lethe Greek spirit of forgetfulness, oblivion, and concealment. The River Lethe was also a river in the Underworld which caused you to lose all memory upon touching it. According to Ovid this river flowed through Hypnos's (the Greek god of sleep) cave and induce drowsiness.

Niki: n/a

Unknown: Harpocrates God of silence, roses and secrets; the Greek interpretation of the Egyptian god Harpa-Khruti (Horus the Child).

These names may have foreshadowing... aside from the powers (if any) of the mythological beings related to the characters, they have other similarities: Philza is possibly immortal and his syndicate codename is a god; Ranboo is not human, and his syndicate codename is not human either; Technoblade has killed many of the SMP members, just as his syndicate codename did.

That's all I have for now. Not sure what can be done with this; if you have any other additions or ideas, let me know in the replies or reblogs!!
