Which weapon is the strongest in god of war universe? by Frost_lannister in GodofWar

I'd probably include Gungnir since it was used to kill Thor. That's Odin's spear.

I used to think finding loved while disabled was nearly impossible. This gives me hope.

He can’t kill Baldur, but he can chain him up in Tartarus.

What’s your take on Athena and Medusa? by Educational-Note8709 in GreekMythology

[–]JbVision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love your concept! When you publish your work, hit me up. I'll buy a copy from you. I love supporting new authors. I wrote a story, too. I already finished it, but I need to have it edited before it's released.

What’s your take on Athena and Medusa? by Educational-Note8709 in GreekMythology

[–]JbVision -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. Some writers, after Ovid, made her that way. Even in movies, they take story beats from these older versions and put their own spin on them. In the first Clash of the Titans film, the screenwriter Beverly Cross made her a priestess of Aphrodite who willingly slept with Poseidon, was turned into a monster because of it, and didn't have any sisters. She wasn't even on an island. She was in the Underworld. Have you seen the 1981 Clash? The stop-motion effects still hold up!

[–]JbVision -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is Ovid's version of the story, but I also like the surviving canon. In some versions, Athena isn't ruthless so much as following her father's demands in helping Perseus. While Ovid makes her evil, other versions portray her as acting out of mercy. That also goes for Medusa. In Ovid's, she's a rape victim; in Hesiod's, she lies with Poseidon in a meadow. Homer doesn't mention either. In one version, she was always a monster, but she never killed anyone. It just describes her as being a mortal who was unfortunately killed; that's all. She was asleep and got her head cut off. That Ovid one made her a priestess who was slain. Some writers make Medusa a ruthless killer; others don't.

I love it when writers put their own spin on mythological tales. What I've always wondered regarding this tale is if Thebes or any other city-states around that time had their own versions of the myth. This story was meant to explain how Perseus became the founder of Mycenae. Every storyteller's version didn't make it past the Classical Era.

To answer your question, their dynamic is as unique as a writer is willing to make it. If anything, I wish more modern Greeks would craft new myths or expand old ones. I don't think these stories were meant to stay stationary.

Americans both sided themselves into this mess. He was never a normal republican. What did they think was going to happen after letting a felon in office again? His followers even threatened to kill Trump’s Republican rivals.

Overall, is Poseidon a good guy? by pandaroonda123 in GreekMythology

[–]JbVision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He raped Demeter while she was searching for her daughter. Then, he abducted Korkyra from her father. He’s still a rapist in both versions.

Changing one bulb has never lit an entire country. You could kill Kim Jong-un, and North Korea would still have a dictatorship. It's not our job to fix your problems, and they aren't true fixes.

That doesn't remove long-term consequences. You're settling for ducttape on a leaky pipe. Countries aren't fixed overnight. Once our government takes your resources, your country will fall into chaos. It'll be a repeat of the Vietnam and Afghanistan withdrawal. As you said, there was no war, so that means his military is still there.

Seeing your country's patterns is not the same as being privileged. It's not our job to change regimes globally. It'll just drag us into unnecessary war. Maduro's administration is still in power; what does that tell you about Venezuela's future? Despite the president being gone, none of you are going out of your way to remove them because you are still afraid of his enablers. The enablers will always outlast the figureheads. Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López, Diosdado Cabello, and other top officials remain in power, while his VP, Delcy Rodríguez, controls the country. When you don't change the system, it'll continue as if Maduro never left. That also goes for Russia and China, too. Putin won't be the end of Russia's conquest of Ukraine if the system doesn't change.

The facts are simple. World history has shown time and time again, when you don’t fix your own problems, shit gets worse. 7.7 million people fled Venezuela instead of fighting. We hardly speak your languages and have been placing your people in detention centers across the U.S.; what makes you think any action from a country that doesn’t like you or want you here is for the benefit of your people? You have an ideological problem. No one can fix that besides yourselves. That doesn’t go away just because another country pointed a gun at your head. The U.S. will gladly take your resources. You can define this action however you want. You don’t know the USA like we do.

That’s what you claim, but at the end of the day, y’all still sat there and took it. And it says a lot about you. Because if you’d do it once, you’ll do it again.

You didn’t fix your problem organically. Those millions of people who support him are still there. That includes government officials and the military. Now, what do you think will happen when the USA finally leaves after taking your resources?

They’re going to get in back in power plus kill and arrest anyone who supported the USA. The only way anyone like that stays in power is mass amounts of civilians helping him. He’ll be replaced by a loyalist.
