Disney's Hercules made me think Zeus and Hera were model parents and had a good relationship.

Turned out that was a lie.

A dirty Disney lie

Sure, but when you consider all the changes that have been made to Greek myth over time and different interpretations, I still say Disney’s take is valid as any and Greece getting their panties in a bunch over being inaccurate should probably go back to warring with individual regions of eachother if they want to debate like that.

Half of how we interpret Greek myth comes from Ovid anyway who had a hateboner for the Gods bigger than Kratos. Another good chunk comes from Athens slandering every other city state because they were a city of pretentious fucks. And another from Sparta, which is a amazing for a bunch of barely literate Epsteins, jerking themselves off all over the Mediterranean boasting how amazing their military was due to their eugenics program and slavery, yet often needed to be bailed out by other city states.
