Sorry for another reply not about the book you recommended.
I just wanted to say that Athena is a real beach too in God of War series. She’s been the agent of Kratos, making him serve the Olympia gods for ten years, doing all the dirty work. And what did she do to help Kratos? Nothing except giving him more chores!
And when Kratos did all they asked? “Sorry, sweetheart, but I can’t actually help you get rid of your nightmares… you know, tricking you into killing your own wife and daughter.”
“Oh, I am so sad. Guess I’ll just kill myself by jumping off this cliff.” jumps
“No, you’re not going to die today. We made you the new god of war and you got to serve us more!”
Seriously, fuck that beach.
I feel no remorse when Kratos accidentally penetrated her with a big sword and killed her.
Hey, not a problem. All Haynes does is lay out the actual texts we have with dry wit. Yeah, that sounds about right for Athena. Consider Ariadne, who got seduced by Athena’s champion into betraying her father, then when she ran away with Theseus, he left her on a fucking island to die. In one version, he’s given the excuse that Dionysus wants to marry her, and so he still leaves her without explanation or apology. Every one of Athena’s “champions” are dicks. From war-criminal Odysseus to serial abductor and pedophile Theseus, to Mr. “I’m going to go kill some random lady who’s bothering nobody on an island” himself, Perseus.
You either are on her bad side, or you’re a smug dick who is so awful that you’ve got Athena’s respect, the most dubious honour in the Kosmos.
