why do so many “icarus and the sun” artworks and stories portray the sun as a woman? do y’all know who controlled the sun? apollo. icarus is gay as fuck, y’all.

Sometimes it was helios, not Apollo. Icarus was still gay as fuck

“Icarus we just escaped prison don’t ruin it by flying too close to the sun”

[Icarus already fucking launching himself across the sky for the sake of some godly dick]

Why was Oedipus against profanity?

Because he kisses his mother with that mouth.

I’m getting really tired of these motherfucking jokes.

modern greek myths: psyche & eros

“What is this?”

“Magic,” his voice is rich with the promise of mischief, spilling into the air they share. Yet his touch is tender. A smooth hand at her elbow, his body is inclined towards hers: not touching, not trapping.

“Magic?” It is an answer to a question she isn’t sure she asked. When he leans in closer, she stops trying to decipher whether the heartbeats she heard is hers, his, or theirs. He laughs the way stars dance and her traitorous heart lurches to bask in starlight.

“Trust me,” he says.

Kiss me,” she answers.

the ancient greek gods are portrayed as doing a lot of petty shit but i think one of my particular favorites is when dionysus gets into argument with a bunch of frogs because he gets annoyed by their croaking

greek deities and their roman counterparts hera // juno

hera was the greek goddess of marriage, women, childbirth, and family. she was the wife of zeus and the queen of the gods. hera was known for her jealous and vengeful nature against zeus’ lovers and offspring, but also against mortals who crossed her. the cow, the lion and the peacock were considered sacred to her.
juno was the roman goddess of marriage and childbirth, but she was also the protector and special counselor of the state. as the patron goddess of rome and the roman empire, juno was called regina (“queen”), and she was worshipped together with jupiter and minerva, with whom she formed a powerful triad of gods.
