#1 Have you accepted Zeus as your Lord and Saviour?

Post by Norseman »

Well have you?

If not it's not too late read this tract, followed by Hesiod, the Iliad, and the Odyssey.

You might also try Mithraism, after all Mithra's saves, and that's no bull!

P.S. Yes the theology here is a bit wonky, for one Zeus didn't judge the souls of the dead.

I prefer Hepheastus as my personal Lord and Savoir....

at least he's banging Aphrodite instead of Hera...

The greek pantheon sure wasn't big on monogamy. But then, it includes Zeus so...
And there's no I in Ares. Sorry. Batman.

There's approximately 13 billion ways I can explain why there's no actual connection between those two but-my bad? :oops:

That's easy. Hephaetus, her husband, is not banging said faithless slut.

It sucks being the foundry-god.

That is a vile slander upon the Grey Eyed Lady. Athena was defined as a goddess with intelligence and taste. That's why she wasn't sleeping with any of the gods or goddesses.

And it wasn't Artemis. She was a goddess of maidenhood, IIRC. Didn't she kill a guy just for stumbling across her while she was bathing in a pond?

no

She turned him into a dear and set her hunting dogs on him.

She would never sully her hands with something like the blood of a mere mortal

Additionally, she would NEVER sleep with someone who disguises himself as a "golden shower" or cuttlefish to impregnate a mortal. Moreover who she had to burst out of because he ate her while she was a fetus.
