The egyptian gods in general were much more nuanced with several, like Isis and Ra being straight up good people. Norse gods were (relatively) chill too with Loki being the main mischief maker. The Greeks were a society of logic and reason so how is it their gods and mythology were so fucked up? >__> Legit a lot of mythology was written to spite other city states. It wouldn't surprise me if the Medusa story could be traced back to Sparta. The Amazons were pretty much invented by the Atheneans to have stories about them were they all lose horribly in war against Athens to spite Sparta (Amazons were descendants of Ares). The Amazons did a few cool things (Hercules has to show up to kill one that was beating the shit out of Athens) but in the end they always lost against Athens. --- https://puu.sh/tcLsT/24f4611235.png https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg <cite>ChromaticAngel posted [p:894608814] in Wait.... s...
