Artemis: a queen, one who shuns the presence of men. Ruler of the night sky and the hunt, she doesnโt give a flying fuck about your gender roles. Women can be single. Women can be hunters.
Athena: a scheming, cunning, genius woman, Athena is the mastermind behind every battle. Goddess of both wisdom AND war. Women can be smart. Women can be warriors.
Aphrodite: a gorgeous woman, beautiful beyond belief, she was married off to a man she did not love. She refused her husband, and is with the chaotic man she truly loves. She loves romance novels and tragic love stories without your permission or stereotypes. Women can be independent. Women can be beautiful. Women donโt have to love you because you say so.
Persephone: she is Queen of hell and goddess of springtime, drawing the line between death and rebirth. She loves her husband and mother, but refuses to let anyone tell her who to be or where to go. Women can be sweet. Women can be brutal. Women can be complicated.
Hera: a practical woman, she is the goddess of marriage, her husband is always off fucking mortals. And she always makes sure he pays for it. This doesnโt stop her from being a fair queen, even more of a ruler than her husband. Women can be powerful. Women make their own choices.
Demeter: a farm girl at heart, she rules the harvest, her mere emotions causing the seasons. Her daughter eloped with the god of death, and she misses her every day. She loves her loyal farmers and the crops they tend. Women can be nurturing. Women can be depressed.
Hestia: a goddess of small renown, Hesta gave up her spot on the council to Dionsynius to keep order. She is the goddess of the hearth and home, fire and family. She represents the controlled chaos of a fire in the fireplace or a family in their home. Women can be sacrificing. Women donโt need to be super to be important. Women can be chaotic.
Enough with this patriarchal Greek society. We all know who really ruled Olympus.

I just love the myth of Persephone, i mean the real, original version of it, because itโs not like she got kidnapped, no, this bitch was la-de-da-ing in a meadow and she just happened to find an entrance to the Underworld and she was likeย โImma check this outโ. And she just wanders into the Underworld and discovers that hey this place ainโt too bad.
Meanwhile Hades is in the backgroundย โ????? UM??? PRETTY GIRL??? WHY ARE YOU HERE?????? YOU ARENโT DEAD???โย
And Persephone (who was originally called Kore just a little fyi) just looked at him and saidย โI like it here. Iโm staying.โ
And Hades kinda just went with it, until Demeter started throwing the temper tantrum of the millenium upstairs and Zeus had to intervene because this shit was getting out of hand and its actually his job to be admistrator of justice. Which considering the shit heย gets up to is kinda histerical but thatโs another story there.ย
And basically Persephone wasnโt a prisoner or kidnap victim at all she just really loved the Underworld and her (eventual) husband, and the Greeks feared her arguably more than her husband because Hades could be reasoned with but Persephone was the one laying the smack down on sinners, and really, who wouldnโt be at least a little scared of someone whoโs name means something along the lines ofย โthe destroyerโ
Basically, Persephone is amazing and everbody needs to get on her level
