    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?

      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.
