So anyway, I cheated again and we’re not getting a divorce, but she’s making me build a habitat for peacocks out back.

And she tried to kill my mistress' baby in its crib
so i turned into a goose and got laid
I think I know this couple
“I am her Hades” “I am his Persephone” would probably work better
It's actually really interesting that both
"Hades kidnapped and basically coerced a girl into becoming his wife"
and
"Persephone conspired to elope with her boytoy, using legalistic maneuvering to ensure she could stay with her true love against the wishes of her family"
are equally ancient interpretations.
... and that "This MIGHT be holsum" is one of the most positive relationships in the whole Greek pantheon.
Hades also went to the father for permission first before doing anything, which by the norms of the time made him a perfect gentleman (certainly better than Mr. Let-me-secretly-impregnate-you-as-a-golden-shower, anyway). The mother's opinion on the matter was irrelevant.
This has been your periodic reminder that ancient Greece was spectacularly misogynist.
Maybe it's like an inverse of the twice-shy situation; Hades and Persephone were both sweet on each other but neither one knew the other was interested and they both enacted zany romcom shenanigans to get together simultaneously when either one could have just asked the other out.
Dear God(ess) that's a fun take and easily justified, but it was holsum=wholesome that really threw me. It's almost like three millennia old morals have little relevance to the current world, and yet, the kardishans, trump etc say no. Silly apes. Still like Eris best, much fun.
Oh good, it wasn't just me who got stuck on that.
Those are cooler names anyhow.
I am my Narcissus 😏🪞
Would I fuck me? I'd fuck me. I'd fuck me so hard
Whoever made this had no grasp of the actual mythology behind it. Just went straight to the top.
Or they only know Greek mythology through Disney's Hercules.
Does the sister-wife know about his side chicks and cocks?
I guess she does, seeing as shr is trying to take revenge on them and their children
Couple wearing these shirts approach you: "Hey, we saw you across the bar and really like your vibe."
He's trying to knock me up and she's going to kill me?
"I am her imbecile with delusions of grandeur and didn't pay attention in school", "I am still in this relationship because being alone is worse than hanging out with a dumbass who buys stupid shirts".
Because I haven't seen it stated and not everyone may know:
Zeus and Hera were brother and sister, as were their parents. Their family tree is a wreath.
Hey, Zeus did his part to add some branches. Credit where it is due.
Alabama hours (Hera was Zeus's sister)
And Zeus barely slept with Hera
Cuck fetish,I guess ?
I am my Pan. Epicurean friend of nature. I may be dead, so said some drunk halfwit sailor
