OKAY SO. For the final for Ancient Greek History (aka Monuments of Greece), we have to write three five-page essays and one seven-page research paper. One of the options for the essays:[Poll #1565558]

Awesome topic! I still think about the Shakespeate final where one question was a long quote about Measure for Measure that ended with "...which makes a lovely Christmas card but isn't Shakespeare." Dr. Lord simply asked "So what IS Shakespeare?'

The answer is Epimetheus, because it would FREAK HIM OUT.

Let Prometheus design it too. ;)

Oh, don't think I'm not considering it. I'll have to ask the prof if you could build sanctuaries for the Titans.

". . . Is that statue supposed to be me?"
"It looks just like you."
"What the fuck is going on with my hair?"
"Really, the resemblance is uncanny, if I do say so myself."
"I look like a mushroom!"
"Like I said."
"I'm going to punch your lights out."

I kind of like all the options and support the underrepresented gods and goddesses. I love hearing about what you're doing in Athens and I miss studying Classics.

[adiva_calandia]

*snickers* Athena is hardly underrepresented, with the whole Acropolis primarily dedicated to her!

I'm glad you're enjoying the Athens updates. :D

I voted for Hestia, but I have to say: Aphrodite twice, but no Hermes? :O

[adiva_calandia]

AAAAH I KNEW I FORGOT SOMEONE. Dammit!

Hermes would be a good one, too . . . *ponderingface*

I basically voted for all of the ladies who interest me. BECAUSE I CAN.

Also, what about Hephaestus?

[adiva_calandia]

What the heck is his deal, anyway? I can never remember. He's not one of the Twelve, unless he's displacing Ares or Artemis and Apollo count as a unit or something; I guess he's Hera's son, though, and he does have a shrine in the Erektheon, so he's worship-able.

Hephaestus and Hestia are the two who didn't have thrones. He worked in the forge and she gave up her seat to Dionysus saying that her place was among the mortals.

I like the idea of making a sanctuary of Ares for the obvious paradoxification reasons. But Athena is and always will be my favorite.

You had to ask? >_>

OURANOS

Yes, I am biased.

Also I think it would be awesome. :x

You just gave me an MST3K flashback...

In Heracles and the Captive Women there is the line "Today is dedicated to Uranus!" The MST3K cast says they just had nothing to add so they gave the line a moment of silence on either side.
