>>76972003>>76972249> It's also not just all bullshit,Unless you've been invited to the VIP club up on Olympus it is all bullshit. The gorgons never existed, The sun is not pulled by flaming horses, and Aphrodite will never give you a BJ, it's sad, but true. Mythology is largely bullshit, occasionally punctuated by some sliver of something that could have feasibly happened.
> and the fact that you think it is is very telling. It's people like you who don't care aboutI'm gonna cut you off right there because as I write this there are two books on mythology at my side and God knows how many more up and my room leaving out books from the library or stuff I just found on the internet. I'm not claiming to be an expert on the subject, but I like it quite a bit.
> Anon, why should I just accept these terrible, watered down versions of these myths when literally nobody has ever done them properly? Because they're art and they have no duty to be historically accurate, doubly so accurate to events that never happened.
> Your different interpretations point might have had some weight if any of these interpretations ever did a single thing better, but they haven'tThat's subjective as all hell and again they're art. No one in DC was trying to provide an accurate depiction of Greek mythology. If they claimed that was what they were going for then YOU would have a point, but as it stands you're upset that they didn't meet expectation that they never sought to meet.
> You always start yelling "nobody cares! Just be apathetic and accept bad art!" But I do actually care.Two things, one that was my first post in the thread and two as stated above I do care as well. I cared so much I didn't rely on DC to form the depths of my knowledge about Greek mythology and that's why I'm confident in the only man on this board that ever claimed Hestia as his waifu who wasn't talking about the /a/ character.
