The constant temptation and promise of everything and nothing in the odyssey. The sirens promise odysseus to know, and the lotus eaters promise him to forget. He could be an immortal, and he could be a beggar. Be known, and be a stranger. He could be alive, and he could be dead. He could be odysseus, and he could be nobody. And the man of many ways tries to be a little bit of everything.

Dances with the Vulture c. 28/40
A/N Demeter characterizationβ
The goddess is a sweetheart, no doubt. She would always be representative of the lovelier side of divine motherhood (to the extent of my readings, of course). She is, to me however, a terrifying force accumulated from sheer disgust of machismo.
While contemporary reimaginings often antagonize her in support of HadesxPersephone, I take her from the perspective of a woman who herself was a victim of r*pe. What tier of love it must be to accept wholeheartedly a daughter borne from malice?
And only later on be swindled by her brothers, her family. She searches for her daughter and they knew where the girl was kept. What twisted mind does that?
My take on her is dark, for sure. But thereβs more to this antagonism that meets the eye, more than a nuisance to her daughterβs βhappy marriage,β more than mere sulking.
With powers unleashed, she could be one of Olympusβ most terrifying nightmares.

Hostages tortured to death. Parents executed in front of their children. Doctors beaten. Babies murdered. Sexual assault weaponised. No, not Hamas crimes. This is part of an ever-growing list of documented atrocities committed by Israel in the five months since 7 October β quite separate from the carpet bombing of 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza and a famine induced by Israelβs obstruction of aid. And yet while the western establishment media has been chock full of the most lurid allegations of savagery directed against Hamas, sometimes with little or no supporting evidence, Israeli atrocities are excused or quickly forgotten. Accusations against Hamas are endlessly reheated to paint a picture of a supremely dangerous and bestial militant group, in turn rationalising the slaughter and starvation of Gazaβs population to βeradicateβ it as a terrorist organisation. But equally barbarous atrocities committed by Israel β not in the heat of battle, but in cold blood β are treated as unfortunate, isolated incidents that cannot be connected, that paint no picture, that reveal nothing of import about the military that carried them out. If Hamasβ crimes were so savage and sadistic they still need to be reported months after they took place, why does the establishment media never feel the need to express equal horror and indignation at equivalent or worse acts of cruelty and sadism being inflicted by Israel on Gaza β not five months ago, but right now? Israel's torture of doctors, its sexual assaults of Palestinian women, it's leaving premature babies to die after its forces stormed a hospital. Where is the outrage? This is part of a pattern of behaviour by the western media that leads to only one possible deduction: Israelβs five-month-long attack on Gaza is not being reported. Rather, it is being selectively narrated β and for the most obscene of purposes. Through consistent and glaring failures in their coverage, establishment media β including supposedly liberal outlets, from the BBC and CNN to the Guardian and New York Times β have smoothed the way for Israel to carry out mass slaughter in Gaza, what the World Court has assessed as plausibly a genocide. The role of the media has not been to keep us, their audiences, informed about one of the greatest crimes in living memory. It has been to buy time for US President Joe Biden to keep arming his most useful of client states in the oil-rich Middle East, and to do so without damaging his prospects for re-election in Novemberβs US presidential vote. If Russian President Vladimir Putin was a madman and a barbarous war criminal for invading Ukraine, as every western media outlet agrees, what does that make Israeli officials, when every one of them supports far worse atrocities in Gaza, directed overwhelmingly at civilians? And more to the point, what does that make Biden and the US political class for materially backing Israel to the hilt: sending bombs, vetoing demands for a ceasefire at the United Nations, and freezing desperately needed aid? Worrying about the optics, the president expresses his discomfort, but he carries on helping Israel regardless. While western politicians and commentators worry about some imaginary existential threat those brief events of five months ago pose to the nuclear-armed state of Israel, Israel is quite literally wiping Gaza off the map day by day, quite undisturbed.
