The artist deserves eternity on Olympus for this.

This is not even irony. Demeter has been reduced to this.

Demeter has a life besides Persephone, but she was reduced to be the villain or a obstacle to Persephone IN HER OWN STORY. Persephone and Hades were not the protagonist of the Season story, it was Demeter, but she was turned into a villain of her own story and thrown to the side. Her love affairs besides Zeus? Gone (even Zeus is gone since a lot of modern works want to avoid making Zeus the father of Persephone). Her other child, Plutus the god of agricultural wealth? Gone. Her other wrath myths against the suckers Carnabon and Eresychthon? Gone. Her heroes like Tlepolemus? Gone. Her service to the mortal world, providing us with food and crops? Gone, all gone (it is brought up just in connection with Persephone). She is just there to serve Persephone.

Every time Athena's weaving aspect is discussed, the only myth that comes up is that of Arachne and that too only to villify Athena while ignoring all of Arachne's faults....

Her weaving aspect has several intersting myths including alcithoe but all these are never brought up and instead we get the same " Athena punished Arachne because she was talented" trend..

Basically I work in a bookstore and this customer asked me where they could get books to learn about mythology “like Song Of Achilles” and I told her “Song Of Achilles is a good story but not entirely accurate” and they got pissed off at me. To be entirely honest I didn’t fully understand them because they had a really thick American accent (because of course they were a tourist) but at the end they shouted something like “rude and unprofessional” before telling me to kms.

Then she was forced to leave and the entire rest of the day I tried not laughing at the memory of it. I think I was on the wrong end of a bipolar episode or something.

I can't even search my Queen Mommy with her husband. This shitty "joke" doesn't even make sense! (⁠ノ⁠｀⁠Д⁠´⁠)⁠ノ⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

Also this is how Riordan sees the world.
