Athena's birth connects with Medusa's own birth-giving powers; Athena leaps from a wounded body, Medusa brings forth her fabulous children from her wounds, from her headless trunk in the case of Chrysaor and Pegasus, from her trunkless head in the case of Ovid's snakes and coral.

Unironically, what would Simon be like with a tomboy girlfriend? Not the typical boisterous type, maybe someone a touch more shy and/or reserved?
Simon usually dates women who are on the girly side of the scale, but when he meets you, he's instantly drawn to you.
He first sees you at the gas station where you're filling up your neat Ducati Multistrada’s tank, and he can't help but compliment your ride. You smile back at him with a small wave of your hand, then pick up your helmet and head to the shop to pay.
While he knows he's a creep for that, Simon can't help but wait for you to come out. He wants to exchange a few words, just a few sentences to get to know you a little better. Since he came to the gas station with his own bike, he thinks it can give him a topic to talk about.
After a few years of saving, he bought a BMW GS for himself, and since the two bikes are so similar in style, he feels confident you would be interested. At first you look surprised to see him, maybe a little taken aback, but he chalks it up to his massive build. He flashes a friendly smile at you, which makes you a lot more relaxed around him.
Fast forward to two months later, when the two of you are in a hotel room during a motorcycle trip. He paid for an extra night there because he wants to spend a little more time with you when you're not on your respective bikes.
But there's one little thing that bothers him. You don't want to have sex with him. Every time he makes a move on you, you come up with an excuse to get out of his grasp. Simon hopes that being away from home might help you loosen up, and maybe you would finally tell him about why you've been avoiding that topic.
Before dinner, the two of you go down to the wellness section, opting for the sauna that is surprisingly empty. He starts with a casual chat, discussing the details of the rest of your trip, but then he moves a little closer to you, his hand soon covering yours as he begins to talk about what has been bothering him.
It takes him by surprise to hear it's not him you don't want. In fact, you want him very much, you're just still not sure about his intentions and whether or not he truly wants you.
So he makes it his mission for the night to make you feel good, to make you feel wanted, needed, and when the sun rises in the morning, he finally lets you get some sleep.

Short boy is in love with a goddess.
Who he was not allowed to be with.
The goddess reincarnates every so often without her memories.
She has an adoptive father figure.
He has met her in all her reincarnations.
She has suffered for him.
And the two fought side by side and then were punished by the gods.
