Gods of Ancient Greece By wolfanita



(D'Aulaires Book of Greek Myths)

[Progressive Pessimist]

They were all complete scumbags except maybe Hephaestus.

Hades was a dick too, but I always feel compelled to say that he wasn't quite as bad as his brothers.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Athena (nerd, sane), though Artemis and Demeter are huge girlbosses too

[Rand]

Aphrodite cause I love sex.

[Mopsus]

They were all complete scumbags except maybe Hephaestus.

Hades was a dick too, but I always feel compelled to say that he wasn't quite as bad as his brothers.

Hermes and Dionysius also have fairly unproblematic records.

True. I'll include them as well.

Hestia is definitely the best one morally

Hephaestus tried to rape Athena, so nah.

What about Hestia? Demeter and Persephone seemed nondramatic and ethical too.

I think Hermes and Dionysus mostly stayed out of the ethical lapses/pettiness that got to Athena, Apollo, Artemis, and Aphrodite? And I think the worst Aphrodite did was her affair with Ares?

Athena (nerd, sane), though Artemis and Demeter are huge girlbosses too

Athena cursed Medusa into being ugly and turning others to stone… because she was raped in Athena’s temple. Plus she wasn’t actually the goddess of wisdom, she was the goddess of deceptive warfare and said to be war-loving. She was sly and cunning in war but not representative of wisdom itself.

Artemis also killed people more than once for petty reasons.
