Hello, guild members! Mnemosyne here, with 'Olympian Advice'. This will be my thread, unless the other gods decide to help me out with this. Though, be smart with your questions. Obviously you're not going to ask Hades how to get a girlfriend(sorry, Hades), or ask a satyr how to get a girlfriend, either.(Especially Pan)
So, members! Hopefully the other gods will come around, as I will be bored. Though, I am millions of years of experience(and all that to remember, too).

Ask away!

Why did Lady Hera chose to punish Prince Dionysus, exactly, Lady Moneta? *bows down*

Feels like an Ask Mnemosyne thread, doesn't it?

Well, the thing was, Hera and Zeus were married by that time, Javier. And you know how picky she could be. She had already dealt with Leto, Maia, and the rest, and Dionysus was the youngest Olympian. Because of her jealousy and hopes of keeping the family in line, she tried to kill him. As, unlike the other Olympians, he was a demi-god, a son of Semele, who wasn't divine all up until Dionysus saved her.

And don't call me Moneta, unless you want to address my Roman side, who I find is dumber.

Yes, Milady. *bows down*

I recalled well that it was said that Semele was a demigoddess daughter of Harmonia, yet even being Hera's technical great-granddaughter was no real protection against her wrath.
How come even if you're a great-grandchild of Hera[from Ares' side, at that!] its no real protection from a scenario of getting killed because of her, like with Semele's case?

Because rage can make the mind fogged from the important things. I've seen it before with Zeus before, Javier, and once he's out of lightning bolts, he just steams up. Don't get into his path, then. Only Themis and Hera are the ones that try to calm him done. Hera was filled with some much jealousy and hatred over the woman, she didn't care of her parents, just wanting her dead, including Dionysus.

I wouldn't dream of getting on the receiving end of the anger of the children of Kronos[although i might be considering questioning their methods in caring for whatever demigod children they may have, but that's best saved for another time in this thread, later on!] as their demigod children's and potential descendants' rage would already be frightening enough to avoid at all costs.

Prince Dionysus[Harmonia's grandson through his mum, Semele!] had to fight tooth-and-nail just to get his mom back, until he finally succeeded in the end.
That took more guts than not only most people would give him credit for, but also more guts than i believe i can ever expect to manage without military training[or even with Military training, for that matter!]

Did they ever said about exactly what became of Harmonia, herself[Hera's immortal granddaughter] after she left Thebes with her husband?
I don't think it was cleared up much.

You didn't mean Harmonia or her daughter, Semele, right? sweatdrop
Are you referring to Lady Persephone, your majesty?

How do you do that? Is he like a super cow, transformed by the gods? I bet Demeter did it. That's her style. Shoots look at Demeter.

Though, what I don't get it why Hades doesn't through a party sometime. Gothic goddesses would love it.

He probably gets enough of the chthonic goddesses.

I think one of the disciples of Hera turned me into a cow, by using my fear against me. redface
If it helps, milady, i think one of the ancient and mystical cows could have augmented me with a gift of power, in this form, until i get back to normal.

Would you believe me if i said i said nothing ill about Hera, either?
