      Greek/ancient gods were meant to be a relatable kind with faults and everything. They were not omnipotent or there such. This enables much more compelling stories to be told.

        It’s similar idea with the evil gods of ancient Mesopotamia. Unlike in most religions where evil deities tempt humans to commit evil acts, evil Mesopotamian deities represent the evils of humanity.

    Either OP is an Octavius viewer, or just coincidence that I’m seeing a Zeus/Hera meme the day after they posted a video featuring that story…

        I know, but if I had a nickel for every time I’d seen a Zeus and Hera reference in the past day, I’d have 2 nickels

            Open your own piped instance (no tracking, ads, sponsors, etc.), make it 100% available with proxies (so YT can’t block your instance) and make users pay for using your instance (so also watching memes), financing the proxies and giving profit.
