    The Greek gods did quite enjoy playing with the mortals for their own, often sadistic, entertainment. Trump is probably their favorite comedic character in the currently ongoing production.

      I’m pretty sure the only chill gods in Greek mythology are Hephaestus, Hades and Persephone, and weirdly enough Dionysus since he is just the god of sex, drugs, and rock and roll also crippling madness.

        I mean have you heard stories from the 60s-70s? I’m thoroughly convinced the only reason this isn’t part of the slogan is it wouldn’t fit on a shirt.

          Honestly yeah. Fun fact I’ve on more than one occasion have considered making lore for a Slaaneshi Ultramarine warband based on the Dionysian Mysteries with some 1970s aesthetics mixed in. Haven’t quite gotten how I’d want them to look down though.

        Ares, while of course being the god of War, was never accused of being a rapist, but he did murder someone trying to rape his daughter.

          Based and dad pilled Ares. Fun fact he was also married to Warlike Aphrodite over in Sparta, which explains why perpetual cheat is part of both of their characters given how Athenians were the ones writing things down.
