quick reminders about Greek mythology:

• Persephone is black/has dark skin
• Haphaestus is disabled and has some mental illness(es)
• Gaia is black/has dark skin
• Hades is disabled
• Zeus is a rapist [ on multiple occasions ]
• Eros is pansexual
• Athena is most likely asexual
• Dionysus is bisexual
• all of the nymphs are nonbinary
• Persephone is the goddess of spring growth
• Thanatos is the god of death, not Hades

A few more:

• Artemis is most likely asexual and aromantic (some interpretations lend themselves to demisexual)
• Poseidon is also a serial rapist
• In fact, the only one of the Big Three who isn’t is Hades
• Hades is not a terrible person (certainly not when compared to his family)
• Persephone is scarier/more widely feared than Hades ever was
• Apollo is not straight
• Zeus is not straight
• Heracles is not straight
• Eros has a twin brother named Anteros, and he is the god of requited love
• Since Persephone is woc it follows that at least one of her parents (Zeus and/or Demeter) is also poc
• Hera is not a “nagging wife” she is one of many of Zeus’ victims, and she takes her (justified) anger out on the wrong person
• Thanatos is the god of peaceful death
• Hestia exists. And is important.

Persephone was so widely feared that people wouldn’t write her name. They referred to her as Kore (shitty English typing sorry) which translates to queen. She struck more fear into people’s hearts than any other goddess. And she is the reason we have mint. She discovered that Hades had a lover before her and turned her into a leafy plant.
