I like the modern interpretations of the gods, I really do.

But.

Can I have something else rather than Zeus in a business suit being a slut with his PA/secretaries?

Can I have Zeus the Thundering as the leader of a biker gang, on a growling Harley Davidson with lightning bolts painted on the tank?

Perhaps he runs a homeless shelter and dons an apron to help in the kitchen when they’re short staffed. Encouraging the olds vets and everyone else to share their stories with him while they eat.

Can I have Judge Zeus who’s always fair and doesn’t let the scum bags slip through the cracks. A Judge who thinks that women still have full reproductive rights with their own bodies.

Maybe he’s on his last tour with the Royal Marines and all the young’ens call him ‘Dad’, but he’s the first one to suggest strapping himself to the outside of an Apache helicopter to rescue a wounded comrade on enemy territory?

Yaaaaaaas.

I am inspired to make my own for Artemis cause omfg almost all the modern gods posts for Her make me want to scream in rage and cry all at the same time.

Zeus Sêmaleos (Giver of Signs) works construction, winking at a single mom in a minivan as she takes a detour and ends up dropping her kids off at school at the same time as a man she knew in high school.

Zeus Xenios (of Strangers, of Hospitality) runs a bed and breakfast just off a highway. There’s always a vacancy for the weary traveler. He shows them to their room and reminds them to come down for a dirink if they can’t sleep.

Zeus Eleutherios (of Freedom) joins in the protest alongside a group of veterans, lending his booming voice to their cause.

Yaas. ❤
