Does it bother anyone else that there are parts of your life you don’t remember? You have done and said things that you don’t even know about anymore. That means you don’t even have the right perception of yourself because you don’t even fully know who you are. However, something that you’ve forgotten about could be a prominent memory in somebody else’s mind. It trips me out.

how to love a mortal: i. stay away from him. gods do not love. you are a god. do not love something that will someday die. ii. small-boned, soft-hearted, voice smooth as stones. when he breaks his ankle you think to yourself: oh, how easily the world wounds him. oh, how easily he bleeds. iii. he kisses you first. he is thirteen and human and he will someday die. do not kiss him back. iv. you say: mother, can a god love a boy? thetis sharpens her teeth. she says: well, what good has love ever done? v. you were born a weapon but you kiss him anyway. you kiss him because he is beautiful and temporary and you do not yet understand what it means to kill. vi. making love to him feels like being remade, doesn’t it? here, the knife in his mouth. here, the starlight in his eyes. here, his sweat on your tongue like salt of the river Styx. vii. in this dream, you kill Agamemnon. in this dream, there is no war. in this dream, he lives forever. viii. he puts your clothes on and you forget he is mortal. he puts your clothes on and he forgets it, too. ix. when the world burned, your mother whispered: you knew, didn’t you? i told you not to love something that will someday die. x. you do not say: i knew, but i was selfish. i am a god. it is my nature.

You probably deserve someone better but I swear no one wants to wake up to your face as much as I do.

GREEK MYTHOLOGY: ares.
He was disliked by both his parents. Whenever Ares appeared in a myth, he was depicted as a violent personality, who faced humiliation through his defeats more than once. In the Iliad, it is mentioned that Zeus hated him more than anyone else; Ares was also on the losing side of the Trojan War, favouring the Trojans. He was the lover of his sister, Aphrodite, who was married to Hephaestus. When the latter found out about the affair, he devised a plan and managed to humiliate both of them. The union of Ares and Aphrodite resulted in the birth of eight children, including Eros, god of love.
