@phistorians@antiquidons@mythology I find the explanation of Hermes' role especially fascinating: asking his dad (and his wife) for money to pay Hades so humans can be alive. Do we owe our lives to Hermes hustling for us? 🤔
@AimeeMaroux@antiquidons@mythology Also, I am a big promoter of non-sexual nudity, but in this particular case, if people left my funeral feeling horny it would be extremely funny.
