More like she will motherfucking murder you with Zeus' approval and thunderbolts.

Athena is also fairly chill and the least likely to fuck you up hardcore. Don't be a jerk. That is all you have to do when Athena confronts you.

Better trick her daughter and force her to be my rapeslave for half of the year every year forever. Sure, it means that humans will have months of freezing cold and privation instead of bountiful summer weather and never-ending crops, but at least I'm getting my rocks off.

At least Zeus had the sense to fuck mortals, where it didn't matter if their parents were angry because mortals can't do shit.

>>1106127
The version of Orpheus and Eurydice I heard was that he swayed Persephone, who convinced Hades to do it as a favour and the only nice thing he'd ever do for her. And Herc only got to borrow Cerberus if he managed to wrestle this giant hellhound, unarmed, and make it submit to him, which is not exactly just loaning him out like a truck. Honestly, in my memories a lot of the times Hades is mentioned in a myth it's Persephone convincing him to be less of an asshole.

But maybe that's just all the Myth-O-Mania I read as a kid.

It's not Orpheus and Eurydice specifically, but he does say the both of them were so moved by Orpheus' emo song they said he could have her.

He asked her father for permission first, which for the standards of the day was actually entirely reasonable. And in some retellings Persephone eats the seeds entirely voluntarily to get away from Demeter's overbearing personality, so it's not like the legitimate marriage thing is a modern retcon. Still not great by modern standards obviously, but Hades is still the closest thing you have.

The biggest dick amongst the Olympians was Apollo, he was vengeful and cruel as fuck when he wanted to.

His good qualities all had to do with logic, reason and intelligence like music, medicine and prophecy. But it does highlight that the Greeks did not think that a wholly intellectual mind wasn't less prone to violence.

She turned a lady into a spider out of pity, because the woman had hanged herself out of shame for her inferior weaving skills.

She masterminded the fall of Troy, but she also turned against the Greeks after seeing how viciously they treated the defeated Trojans,and went so far as to collaborate with Poseidon against them, at least in Euripides.

Homer's two books, Iliad and The Odyssey are the oldest literary sources, dated approx 800 BC. They have among the earliest references to the Greek pantheon, as well as characters like Achilles and Odysseus who became legendary.

Iliad is about battle and honour. Odyssey is a fantastical voyage to home and hearth featuring cyclops, witches, giants, sea monsters and sex goddesses.

It is literature, but it will edify anybody with an interest in Greek history. Reading this stuff is like having a mind-meld with the people of ancient Greece because you are exposed to the myths, stories and fragmented cultural memories that go back as far as the bronze age; the stuff the Mycenean bards may have sung about

I recommend the Fagles translation.

mentions a similar story, but Athena fought off Hephaestus and kept him out of her vagoo because she wanted to maintain her virginity (when the semen fell on the ground, Erichthonius was born, and that's the closest Athena ever came to having sex.

Myths were supposed to explain things. They could and did survive losing this function if the "tale" was interesting enough or was still able to serve as a metaphor, though.

>>
>>1112578
Attena is literally the nemesis of modern feminism. She's basically the prime example of woman doing what is expected from her following the standards of one of the most patriarchal societies of history. Classic Athens was in full-patriarchy mode even when compared to other city states. When the armies of Xerxes plundered the city and the citizens escaped, some prestigious women were left behind because one of the best virtues of a wife was to avoid be seen by anyone outside the house (probably a legend t.b.h., but an exemplary one).
>>
>>1112615
So her war title is more of a defense of the home and bringing luck sort of thing? Tactics and patience rather than brawn and aggressive?
>>
>>1112626
She is literally wisdom. Not a wise woman, but wisdom herself. She's related to war for the same reason she's related to arts, science and justice.

Keep in mind that, unlike Mars, Ares was more feared than whorshipped. Greeks didn't hate him but he was dangerous.

Hephestus trying to rape Athena and kind of succeeding (getting it on her thigh but not actually inside her) was a way of Athena having a "son" without violating the fact that she was a virgin goddess and completely under the command of Zeus her father rather than a legitimate husband. The son would go on to be a legendary king of Athens, thus strengthening link between the city and their patron goddess. Why Hephestus in particular and not someone more respected, that is a bit more unclear.
