I have some more questions sorry👉👈

(Tw: mentions of rape! I know this is greek mythology and it’s to be expected but I have some followers just from pjo so I don’t wanna risk it)

-Was there any actual evidence of romance between Achilles and Patroclus or is it just a ship? (By evidence i mean like was it confirmed in any text or anything). I’m working my way through the Iliad but it’s a little above my reading level and I’m having a hard time understanding it. Also are they cousins??? I just started hearing that but I thought they were from different kingdoms and everything? Idk bro this is why I’m asking jdjdjfj. (Also do you have any tips on making the Iliad easier to read or am I just gonna have to struggle?)

-Is it true that Athens tended to be harsher on the gods with their myths? Like I’ve heard that most of Ares’ bad myths come form Athens, Hera throwing Hepheastus off Olympus was from Athens, etc. Idk tho that could be wrong I just want to know!!

-Did Artemis send Dionysus to rape someone? I’m aware of the myth of Nicaea but that’s different I think and I’ve heard something like that??? It’s just always sat weird with me idk. And if I’m not just pulling that out of my ass djjfj, why would Artemis send someone to rape a girl when she’s supppsed to be a protectress of them? (This is nothing against Artemis or her devotees I’m just curious!!)

-was there any reason Apollo specifically stood out for his beauty? Like isn’t Aphrodite just known for that? (I know all of them are supposed to be attractive I just mean why Apollo is specified for it more than the other gods). Maybe he’s not and everyone on here just has a crush on him idk skdjfjf

-is Artemis usually portrayed as a younger girl or is that just pjo? I’ve tried to seperate greek mythology and pjo but sometimes I catch myself accidentally crossing them. I’ve always envisioned her like that but I want to know if it’s accurate or not lol

-is there any reason why certain gods raped more than others? (i.e Zeus and Poseidon vs Hermes and Dionysus)

-does hades have a lot of myths and I just can’t find them?? I was trying to read up on my boy but there’s not a lot to find. Do you guys have any sources you can recommend? All I can really find is the kidnapping one and when Cronus went munch n crunch :(

-okay this one I’ve always wondered!!! Why did Persephone’s name change?? (From Kore). Like was Kore just an earlier interpretation of her or is there something else? I feel like this is one of the mandatory knowledges of Greek mythology and I don’t know it sjdkfjfkdk

Thank you!!!!!!!!!! (And sorry for the excessive keyboard smashing)
