That time in ancient Greece when Aziraphale needed a speedy horse and accidentally invented the pegasus

VS.

Whatever Crowley had going on in medieval times

#Crowley just really misses the unicorns ok??? #Also Crowley didn't start from a horse to make a new unicorn #he looked at a horse and was like.... nah #then looked at a goat and was like YEAAAAH LET'S GOO LET'S MAKE YOU BIG AF AND YOU CAN ALSO SPIT FIRE WHAT A GREAT IDEA!! #While Aziraphale is fretting over the fact that he accidentally gave WINGS to a HORSE and every time that the angels asks about it he's lik #whaaat?? PegaSUS naaaah never heard about it. Must be a made up thing. humans...right?? silly little things ahahah *sweat nervously* #good omens #crowley #aziraphale #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #pegasus #unicorn #Do I wanna draw the precious good omens beans? yes. #is this an excuse to draw more horses? also yes. #medieval crowley #ancient greek aziraphale #CAVALLIIIIIII 🐎🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴 #good omens comic #historical husbands

thinking about how the (greek) big three swore to never sire any more demigod children because those children are just too powerful (dangerous) and also thinking about how the characters that, arguably, seem to have the greatest proclivity for cruelty in the name of justice or vengeance are also the (greek) big three children... there's something there, a connection to be made I'm sure of it

#and its not just cruelty... #its like this spiraling into... darkness? power? #for percy and nico at least #thalia we dont get to see as much and I need to reread ttc #but like... she's SO tempted by power #its like she has to actively fight against those base instincts to rule (like her father) #when she chooses the hunters #she removes her role (her power her agency) in the great prophecy #and idk I feel like there's subtext there that she's worried what she would have done had she been the prophecy child #but sincerely there's something about greek big three kids thats off kilter #and that aspect only gets more pronounced as time goes on and they get older #like not only are they scarily powerful #but their mental states are just... messy #almost like in comparison to other demigods #they're a little more god a little less mortal if that makes sense #and they have to fight to maintain that mortality (their humanity)

Homer: This is the lead hero of my second epic poem. He has a mind like Zeus’ own and possesses unparalleled strength, courage, nobility, cunning, and wit. He’s nearly undefeated in battle and has mercilessly overcome every trial he has faced.

A underrated Masterpiece from DreamWorks in the 2002s.

The Best Horse-Movie I‘ve Ever Seen, beats Stormwind, Flika & Black Beauty (Second favorite After Spirit). It’s so different and that in My opinion makes it so Special, also because how they Portrait the American West (which I Love dearly, because I was there on my winterholidays along time ago) and how they Show the War between the native Americans and the US Calavary (because this is how it really was, as a History Freak you have my garanty). I‘ve never seen another Western Movie doing that, (and also they treated everyone as real People) this so rare and should‘ve been Done way more often. The Horse Characters Are amazing but the best I think is our Main Stallion.

you can already see seeds Annabeth's fatal flaw in the second episode. the expressions of agreement like "yep" when Percy says "I know you're better at this than me." the way she leaves him on the cliff knowing Clarisse would be after him. the way she shoves him into the lake, knowing there's a chance she could be wrong about this guy. she knows how incredibly smart she is and is confident in it, however, she's also confident to a fault. it'll be a big source of problems for both herself and those around her. i know it's not a lot but it's there, and I'm here for it

#massive MASSIVE props to Leah for doing so much in so little time #i'm probably reaching here but i've always found everyone's fatal flaws really interesting #like it's such a good nod to the greek myths #and how it can be applied in real life #so good #percy jackson #annabeth chase #leah sava jeffries #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo tv show #pjo tv spoilers #isoceratops

Back on my high effort joke bullshit

#bedrock’s #ultrakill #sisyphus prime #minos prime #psych there’s some deeper meaning re: ancient greek male nudity + trans minos #maybe one day I’ll do a proper dive #also fun fact the pattern on his himation is a version of the cretan stitch! #which is a little dubious because (as far as I know) it came from minoan embroidery #which is distinct from ancient greek? #and minos was the king of crete in GREEK MYTHOLOGY #which is. younger than minoan civilization. #he’s possibly younger than the ancient civilization that was named after him (fun!) #anyways I’ll let you get back to your scrolling that has been Walker’s Wiki-Walking Hour #nvm I misremembered the cretan stitch was not from the minoan #still! the intersection of history and myth is just. augh #funfl fact did u know the archeologist who discovered the Palace of Minos was also named Minos

No but I gotta talk about Medusa for a minute actually.

It's been. A very long time since I read the PJO books so I don't exactly remember how Uncle Rick presents Medusa in the book. But the way the show introduces her myth? Fascinating. For me as a Greek mythology enthusiast, that is.

The show makes Medusa a victim of Athena. Of course, the show is mainly for kids, so they can't exactly say that, hey, kids, Medusa was Athena's priestess and she was raped by Poseidon, YEP, or protagonist's father, IN Athena's temple, nah, that's neither kid-friendly nor does it endears us to Poseidon. Not that Poseidon is very dear to us viewers/readers at this point, our narrator/protagonist can't stand his own dad.

But still what fascinates me is that even though they twisted the myth to ft the narrative they still managed to evoke Athena's curse as being actually a gift, and Medusa not feeling wretched over her condition but blessed.

Which is not a modern reading of the myth, actually. Saying that Athena couldn't punish Poseidon for his transgression and could only punish Medusa, but did so in a way that would give Medusa weapons to defend herself against whoever and whatever would try to harm her again, is a narrative that exists since Antiquity.

My point is that the re-framing of Medusa's myth, departing from the traditional, non-kid-friendly version while still incorporating both classic and modern elements, is a good frame of reference for the series (book and show)' entire approach to mythology. And I guess I'm saying that mostly for the non-book readers who are discovering this world, many of whom might be Greek mythology fans and might have gone "wait, why is Hades AGAIN presented as the bad guy when he's the chillest, most normal, most stable god in this entire pantheon", because that's a conversation the book fandom has been having (over and over again) for more than a decade.

Anyway, yeah. As a long time book fan and a show appreciative, here's my advice to anyone who knows WAY too much about Greek myths and still want to enjoy the ride without going every five minutes "wait, that's not correct": reframe. Contemporary rewritings, modern audiences and Fantasy genre.
