Isn't everything in existence the representation of some form according to Plato?
>>
>>530121
Nah.

They're real.

>>530142
I don't understand. Are you saying you believe in the gods but not the forms or the forms but not the gods?
>>
they're idealized, so yes

>everyone is normal
>Poseidon is fucking green with a fish tail and bubble hair
fucking comic books

Within their belief system they are. Outside the belief system they're a pale reflection of the ideal pantheon, whatever that is.

He lives in the water, what the fuck is he supposed to be like?
>>
>>530197
He's also the god of the earth and tamer of horses. Can't do that shit with merman parts.

Also Greek art never depicts him as a triton. Comics are dumb.

>>530201
He can if he's a god
>>
>>530228
Well if he's a god then surely he can swim around with man legs no problem.
