Funny how those people are convinced they are the underdog despite being supported by the biggest corporations and political parties in the world. Meanwhile the hateful alt right right boogeyman barely has enough money to pay rent.

It’s a very christian perpetual victim mentality. Women and fags are very prone to it.

Andvari's Curse by Emil Doepler

Greek hero relief from Patras

A well-known anecdote from Strabo describes how the sculptor Pheidias designed his masterpiece, the great statue of Zeus in the sanctuary of Olympia, as a reflection of three verses from Homer’s Iliad. The most prestigious and authoritative cult image of the high god is there presented as the solid shape of epic verse, one medium appropriating the other, a massive monument of stone carved out of a great monument of poetry. The story is part of a recurrent trope of Greek literature concerning the prevalence of early epic poetry on the religious imagination of the other arts.

Poetry and Early Greek Religion
R.Gagne

Unlike Achilles at Troy, Jason’s quest for the Golden Fleece, or Theseus on Crete, Herakles was not associated exclusively or primarily with a single great undertaking, a single myth, or even cycle of myth. From infancy to sudden death while still in his prime, his life itself was like a grand myth cycle, encompassing countless incidents and adventures, ups and downs, triumphs and suffering.

H.A.Shapiro

Apotheōsis—the Greek word for which means ‘being transformed [from human] to god’—is preceded by a most painful death, where the hero is burned alive over the flames of his own funeral pyre. Thus the transformation of Hēraklēs into a theos or ‘god’ is a process of immortalization, and, by using this word, I mean simply that the mortal as mortal is required to die first—and die most painfully—before he can become immortal like a god.
Hēraklēs experiences the most painful death imaginable, climaxed by burning to death. This form of death is an ultimate test of the nervous system, by ancient Greek heroic standards.
