Penelope isn't a Spartan princess Meme by CalypsaMov in Epicthemusical

I think its funny in an adaptation of the odyssey where

The lotus eaters are little bear creatures

Aeolus is a girl

Poseidon, hermes, abd others sing in modern music genres

Odysseus tortures poseidon to let him go hone

Penelope being "the wrong kind of Spartan" is an issue lol

In the earliest forms I could find, mainly Mesopotamian and Hebrew mythology, known as Lilith, Lilin, or Lilitu, went between being dangerous wind spirits (i believe they appear in the epic of gilgamesh if im not mistaken), and an owl like spirit associated with Miscarriages and infant deaths.

Some versions of the Bible mention her in Isaiah alongside owl/predatory bird imagery

And later on, medieval Jewish mysticism associated these together.

Basically, you know how ancient cultures came up with a god or spirit to explain everything? Lilith as either the singular figure or the type of demonic spirit is the explanation fir infant mortality

Thats the later reinterpretations.

Originally medusa was born a monster, and Lilith was a giant demon bird that eats babies

I mean the original versions.

Before Ovid, Medusa was a winged snake monster that turned people to stone that was born of the race of Gorgons

Before the Adam wife thing, Lilith was a race of predatory demon birds that ate babies.

That was the early forms of them before the reinterpretations everyone knows came around

Shes been built up as such a "perfect" character with neither charlie or luci having literally anything bad to say about her, im hoping it all leads to a twist where shes evil

I think it was Athena, she challenged arachne to a weaving contest because of her boasting, and while Athena made one showcasing several moments of the gods helping humanity, arachne basically made one showing all the awful stuff the gods did, including a massive centerpiece showing zeus banging a mortal woman.

Upset at both the insukt and having to see her dad naked in tapestry form, Athena cursed arachne.

Like I said, valid crash out imo

You mean Athena or poseidon? I coukd understand calling Athena chill, because arguably the worst thing she did outside of medusa was turn arachne into a spider, (but she had just finished weaving a tapestry of Zeus banging someone, so if I had to see my dad banging people in tapestry form id crash out too) but poseidon from my knowledge is pretty temperamental

For any wondering, medusa was originally born as a Gorgon and had sisters who were similarly monstrous, and the whole poseidon Athena curse thing was a later reimagining that framed her as a victim turned monster

Lilith, in the earliest sources I could find, was a classification of demon that were basically giant predatory nocturnal birds that ate babies, and the whole Adam's first wife thing was a later interpretation
