my students react to greek mythology

thoodleoo:

  • “no offense but why would you follow dionysus if that means you have to party in the woods” “why wouldn’t you?”
  • *after learning about the chimera*“dude what you can’t be a lion AND a goat AND a dragon that’s too many”
  • “in fairness, if apollo wanted to date me, i’d turn into a tree too”
  • “she can’t be his wife, she’s his sister” “that didn’t stop zeus
  • *after learning medusa gave birth to pegasus” “OUCH????”
  • “is there anybody zeus didn’t get pregnant”
  • “like seriously i had to make a mythology family tree for english class and it’s literally all zeus”
  • “hera’s kind of a jerk” “dude she literally threw her kid off a mountain because he was too ugly what did you expect
  • “why is everything about horses”
  • “oh, he starts eating people! typical”
  • “so basically you shouldn’t ever interact with a bull in ancient greece ever”
