No seriously though. What is it?

The most we’re told is that fertility goddess’s are rare. And incredibly powerful. But there is zero insight as to WHAT their powers are. We see Persephone heal Ares, ep 100-101. Hades turned into a titan, ep 183. And when Persephone is mad she grows stuff out of her back?, ep 128. And these are explained to have happened because she’s a fertility goddess. The only other thing we know about them is that every generation has a fertility goddess that’s destined to be used to over throw the last generation?

We have NO other information otherwise.

And I really wish I could say that this is a “fill in the blanks from context clues” thing but RS can’t write like that. (Which the way she writes exposition is a whole other issue.) The best example of her terrible way of giving background information is in ep 238

In the first picture below Persephone says “Elysium” which is stated to be newly made by her but gives NO context as to WHAT it is and expects them to understand even though it was JUST made. (It’s where all the hero’s go for eternal paradise. And yes I had to look it up.) but immediately explains to Hermes what a Demi-god is? Please pick a lane! Are you going to over explain things or not explain anything and leave it to interpretation? And if you are going to do both could you please do it when it’s appropriate, (I.e. explaining what Elysium is but not explaining Demi-gods.)

I love Persephone with short hair honestly, it was cute (just maybe in a different style so she doesn't look like a Rachel self insert) and I loved her lighter colors in the pilot and earlier seasons compared to the highlighter pink we see now. Also wanted to add some green in there, since goddess of spring and all.

(It’s probably not going to be coherent so bare with me)

Does anyone think that Zeus constantly goes to the mortal realm because it was his first home? Bare with me it’s a far-fetched theory but hear me out….

Zeus was raised by nymphs until Rhea came and told him that he needed to fight Kronos. Now, Zeus was raised by a group of nymphs who he considered his mother/mothers, he was also constantly moving from place to place because Kronos was going crazy, so when Rhea came and told him she’s that she’s his mother and that he needs to rescue his brothers, and fight his father…yeah needless to say Zeus’s life was thrown upside down.

RS doesn’t give us much information about how Zeus rescues his brothers, how he developed his powers, or anything that isn’t Hera being a double agent (which is clever in its own right but wasn’t written well). RS doesn’t give us much on the aftermath when the war ended. My personal head-canon was that Zeus wanted to stay in the mortal realm but since he drew the metaphorical short in of the stick, he’s stuck ruling Olympus.

there is one important detail about Greek mythos that Rachel seems to have glossed over... Again. There were GODS of fertility. Not just goddesses, gods, including Hades and Poseidon themselves! And guess what? Metis wasn't even a fertility goddess (from the research I did). Demeter was, Persephone was, even Hera is a fertility goddess, but not Metis. You know who else is a fertility god??

ZEUS. Zeus is a fertility god! Now some might say that in LO, if they are fertility gods, they got it from a fertility goddess loving them. Counter point, Amphirite wasn't a fertility goddess. The only thing I could find on her possibly being a fertility goddess, is if we consider her existence pre-greek mythos where she was probably a mother goddess. But in Greek myth itself?? No, can't find anything. And guess what? Some believe that Artemis was a fertility goddess! So where is her all powerful powers?? Why isn't she going Mary sue on Apollos ass? Granted, in others she isn't consider a fertility goddess, but still.

Some might argue it's to create more drama. Bro... there are so many other ways to make drama. Rachel could have focused on the relationship of Hades and Zeus, the affairs that Zeus has, hell, maybe Zeus learning about the affair Hera and Hades had!! Maybe focus on Zeus's own trauma about having to constantly run in fear. Focus on Artemis and her learning about Persephone, or Hestia and Athena! Maybe focus on Eros and Psyche more?? Or even Eris and Hera? There was so many things that could potentially create drama, and Rachel sees none of it.

Then there is the fact you have to physically fight your father, or find some way to get your brothers out of him. Then you watch as your brother gets torn, bitten, ect. And I know this may never be brought up, but your own brother has an affair with your fuckin wife. You are aware that you cheat, and that you backslide, but your brother is being a fuckin hypocrite by having an affair with your wife.
