Hey! I was really into Greek mythology in middle school. And high school. Even got a minor in college. I even have a set of Greek/Roman mythology tattoos!
Oh wait... I am gay. Fuck.
You're in good company buddy. Don't have the tattoo but I did have one planned. How can they blame us when half the mythological Greeks are just half (at least) naked hunks?
"I just like the stories, Mom!!!!" Lol
TIL I'm gay? I actually carried around a copy of D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths in my backpack, and I have basically zero attraction to other men. Then again, I was over it by high school, so maybe that's why I'm not gay.
I love that book. I still have a copy. That said, it is an incredibly sanitized version of what the Greeks actually believed because every bit of the sex is cut out and it's basically 90% sex.
I'm planning to get a tattoo of the Kyparissos myth... for reasons
you kill puppies?
Maybe I'm the puppy :'(
For me it just happened to be the same time that the percy jackson series came out
