Olympian Advice

[Dionysus or Bacchus]

Probably something along the line of being ripped to pieces, made into a slushie by your father, and drunk by your new mommy, ne?  

[coffeebeancloud]

Pretty much. And it didn't help that Themis was standing near me rolling her eyes while this was happening. Sisterly love, yeah. She just read her books and said 'uh-huh' whenever I cursed Zeus.

Um, I'm not gonna answer that. I've had a few run-ins with shepherds, or a certain god dressed up as one.

Whom, Daddy Dearest???

Yes, Lord Zeus, obviously. Stupid shepherd outfit, stupid field, stupid nine nights.....

Well, obviously you went along with it. All I'm asking is how he got the goods on you.

I was drugged. But obviously Zeus didn't tell Hesiod that, 'cause this happened:
"Them [the Mousai] in Pieria did Mnemosyne, who reigns over the hills of Eleuther [in Pieria, near Mount Olympos], bear of union with the father, the son of Kronos [Zeus], a forgetting of ills and a rest from sorrow. For nine nights did wise Zeus lie with her, entering her holy bed remote from the immortals. And when a year was passed and the seasons came round as the months waned, and many days were accomplished, she bare nine daughters, all of one mind, whose hearts are set upon song and their spirit free from care, a little way from the topmost peak of snowy Olympos."

It has no mention that I was drugged with wine or that I didn't know it was Zeus but rather a shepherd. I've hated him since then. You don't want to know what having birth to nine girls at the same time feels like.

What comes after Octuplets again, milady? sweatdrop

I think it's nonupletes. Its amazing all nine of them survived. Though they're immortal so it doesn't matter, anyways. Can gods get miscarriages? Where's that goddess when you need her? Holding a torch, probably,  

[Dionysus or Bacchus]

Hey now, where would Greek Mythology be without all those pregnancies? A goddess of miscarriages indeed; Eileithyia would blow a gasket.  

[coffeebeancloud]

You would know, Dionysus. Like father, like son.
Thing is, it's not like you have to get pregnant. There wasn't really an abortion in Ancient Greece, and anyways Eileithyia would have killed the person that made it.

Its weird 'cause she doesn't have many children herself.

Now that's simply prejudice; just because an Olympian has a dominion doesn't mean they constantly indulge in such things every second in the day.

This is actually more impressive than giving birth to Octuplets[which is a considerable feat, in itself, actually!] if i had to be honest, milady. surprised
Which Goddess holding the torch?  

[coffeebeancloud]

But you do, Dionysos.

It's Eileithyia. The torch is the burning feeling once having a child, Javier.

Why is she holding the torch, milady?
I thought that not all of the Olympians would do it that frequently, milady. redface

Eros has his fun. And I don't, neither Themis. We've only really 'loved' one person.
Because the torch symbolizes the burning feeling, and Eileithyia is the goddess of childbirth.

So have you ever considered what could go wrong if we were all fighting legions of Zombies?
What would be the best advice you'd give to your daughters and anyone else?  

[Javier Cross]

*feels urged to sweat in awkwardness*

So do you recall the titles that Aphrodite would possess, might i ask? sweatdrop  

[coffeebeancloud]

There's a lot of them.. um, you want me to list them all?  

[Javier Cross]

Yes, Ma'am, and start off with Aphrodite, and then follow it up to her retinue, please?
I want to learn.
