Greek mythology from A to Z:
[P] - Pandora (Πανδώρα), the first woman, was created by Zeus to neutralize the blessing of fire, which had been stolen by Prometheus from Olympus.
In Hesiod’s Works and Days, Pandora had a jar containing all manner of misery and evil. Zeus sent her to Epimetheus, who forgot the warning of his brother Prometheus and made Pandora his wife. She afterward opened the jar, from which the evils flew out over the earth. Hope alone remained inside, the lid having been shut down before she could escape.
» Nike & Dike are two different gods. Nike is the goddess of victory & Dike is the goddess of justice
» Hades is the god of the underworld & Thanatos is the god of death
» Persephone isn’t just the queen of the underworld, she’s the goddess of spring
» There’s two goddesses named Thalia, one of the muses, and one of graces
» In Greek, a name like Hekate or Kassandra would be spelled with a K, but in other languages it can be spelled with a C
» In Roman Mythology, Apollo is still Apollo (there many be other wording to how it’s spelt, but it’s still Apollo)
» Hermes could fly without his sandals as they were simply symbols for him
» The definition of the twelve Olympians changes because multiple texts decipher other gods/goddesses as being apart of the twelve Olympians
» The titans were not ultimately bad gods, some would say they were nicer to humanity and never tried to destroy humanity (this idea was popularized by Percy Jackson), and the Olympians attacked first
» There is no “Pandora’s” box, Pandora, who is actually a woman created, actually opened the box after being gifted it on her wedding day
» Not many people worshiped Ares because he was majority of the time on the losing side & he was considered too violent and difficult to have on your side
» At first Rome’s gods had no appearance until they absorbed more Greek Mythology
» The Trojan War is still being debated as actually happening, there has been debris found that could indicate that there was a siege to the city
» Male demigods tended to have higher-than-average ambition and physical powers, while female demigods (like Helen of Troy) only were gifted with exceptional beauty
» Death gods were pretty laid back compared to other gods & the only person/god Hades ever killed was Asclepius, but only because Asclepius was bringing the dead back to life & disrupting the cycle of life

Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the only thing in this world that does not hurt.
