20. Incredulous
They tell me not to read mythology and
believe aimlessly what is forever told.
Of the formation of this universe, the
chaos that metamorphed into the sun,
the stars, the planets, you and me. The
violent rage and act of defiance by
Amnon and his death acting as a deterra
-nce, probably the first where the crime
did someone free. Did you know of all the
Greek tragedy, my favorite is the one told
bySophocles? It talks of love, honor, the
duty, oppression and tyranny as it unfolds.

I recall now that I once read, of woman so
strong, warriors she fed. Madhavi was her
name and she bore it with pride, she was
used as a fortune by them. Alas, it was
written by men. Forever, I did try to find the
genesis of his highness Macbeth or of
Sisyphus, who twice cheated death. If you
close your eyes, you can hear poor Orpheus’
lore.

When they ask me to believe, I do often
gather, the four horsemen making their way
to end the world, but I’d take hurricanes and
tsunamis rather. Fearless as they are, it’s the
women who call me from the narrative they
are written in, always longing to be at par.
The mightiness of the men, their heroism is
at what the story is often sold.

Where is the lie?
Come on founder/king of Athens, aren’t u gonna slay the Bull of Minos or not?
Huh…
Huh…
“Slay”, huh.
this isn’t the ship of Theseus I’m used to hearing about
Looks like Theseus guessed wrong on who’d be getting speared
I always find it strange that Christians call it “good friday”. How is it good??? Isn’t this the day they killed the guy??? How is the day they killed him considered better than the day he came back??? Isn’t that guy like, your guy??? I thought you liked him???
i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a g**damn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake
fabulous
i mean they did also kill jesus. that was a pretty significant thing that happened. like i understand where you’re coming from here but they very much did kill jesus.
happy good friday
Leo knows it’s not enough to just train your body; you also have to train your brain! That’s why he makes sure to solve these word scrambles.

Reading back through some of my favorite older myths, there are a lot of the “King in the Mountain” tropes where a great hero of yore doesn’t actually die, they just go chill somewhere until their given countries “time of need”. So like..the apocalypse is going to be pretty epic if any of these are true.
