also i wonder how siren reproduction works are they an all female society or are there gonna be big buff male sirens? or are all the sirens just lesbians baiting dudes? 
and if so how do they reproduce? imagine it’s via eggs (cuz the siren egg… kinda exists)
It’s either eggs or doing the deed with an unlucky sailor lost in the dark seas
sigh… i want my lesbian society to be canon in ao 
ALSO HOLY SHIT THAT’S DARK 
that’s legit ahem grape
Well this is Greek mythology we’re talking about, not necessarily full of rainbows and sunshine
yeah that’s true i lwk forget how messed up it is sometimes cuz i just view it as smth comical and entertaining cuz a lot of greek mythology is super funny.
tho i was mostly talking about this in the context of ao ig. idk i wonder if hades and persephone according to the homeric hymn to demeter happened in ao
cuz as someone who actually mostly knows their shit it pmo when ppl say that hades and persephone is some cheesy romcom love story 
cuz it’s not in any way shape and form and people who say that are no better than the ones who say medusa is a grape victim (she is not. the roman medusa is the one who was graped also it was written by ovid so it’s more like a fanfic of mythology from what i understand cuz from what I’ve heard ovid hated women)
actually i might’ve gotten a bit off topic lol
There are hundreds of versions of same myths and they’re all canon really
Zeus’ wife is WHO??
yeah but i’m talking about the main version that most people who study mythology rely on
tho i can definitely say that there is not a single ancient greek version of that myth where persephone and hades are happily married because that’s not the point of the whole myth. it’s about how girls in ancient Greece were married off young and stolen from their mothers and the mother’s grief over losing her daughter.
hera…? (am i stupid because i don’t understand what you mean here)
One of his others
and if you meant the medusa myth then no. medusa in actual greek mythology was ALWAYS an evil monster. a gorgon. that literally means something like “ugly monster” in ancient greek she was killed by perseus who was aided by the gods because she was a monster. not some tragic victim
the idea of her as a victim is a later invention that was popularized in modern day because it’s possibly more interesting ig but it just feels weird because the later myth is not greek and never was. it’s roman. and unlike popular belief the roman and greek deities are very much separate and the mythology has differences. it’s simply similar because the romans adopted a lot of greek art and mythology and basically appropriated their culture
EDIT: wrong person i replied to
no. his WIFE is hera. there’s no such thing as not cheating in greek mythology. here, it means that he cheated on hera with demeter. also how is zeus being her dad relevant? that’s also part of the myth. fathers from my understanding would arrange marriages for their daughters for profit or political influence
