“But the world is about to end!”
After hearing this, the MC looks contemplative at their empty glass and lazily gets up from their beach chair, moaning loudly.
“Then I better go grab another Appletini.”
Walks away.
And that right there is how the story ends.

Oh no. I’m fine with that.
But i recuse to accept that death is unavoidable irl. I will, Nay, i MUST, find the fountain of youth.

Why do you need the fountain of youth?
To live forever, of course!
This mortal form will grow old too quickly, and as it takes me about three millenia to possess another vessel, i’d much rather have one that lives forever instead.

Did the prophecy ever say anything about the bearer participating in a war?
The bearer will meet Cronus, something will get divided, someone seeking truth, something about love and grief, opening gates, a dead bird…
Nothing in there about the bearer fighting a war! 
Everything will be fine, I mean this totally isn’t a Greek hero story. They all lived happily ever after with many children and absolutely no grief at all.

If that happened. In a greek story people would back then hanged the poor bard. Greeks Didn’t like happy endings. They love bloody and incest.

Yeah I know 
However, internet doesn’t. The flag is too obvious. mara would be a snake disguised as a ferret or something. Cute
With a sign saying “Please tread on me.

Not all of them ended badly. Perseus had a happy ending.
Jason got crushed by the Argo, Heracles was poisoned, Theseus died in exile, Agamemnon got murdered by his wife…

Pretty much everyone who wasn’t a villain. Perseus was the Medusa slayer. (who I guess was a victim depending on the version) He rescued his mother, got a wife and only died in another tale, where he was immortalized (literally) in the stars with his wife.

Diomedes got to settle down in Italy with a bunch of hot guys (and without his wife). That sounds like a happy ending to me. 
And he was one of the less evil heroes (these days, he’d probably be seen just as an antihero, rather than an outright villain).

So I was talking to my friend about this story today and she asked since this is based on the Greek gods does that mean our MC’s father can romance us. I looked at her and said “why would that happen?” And she said she didn’t know just that Zeus did have kids with some of his children such as Persephone and Aphrodite so it wouldn’t go past him to do the same thing with the MC. I thought about it and said “I guess that’s true and that he even hooked up with Helen of Troy in the story.” So you know… watch out if your father is Zeus 
this is why Hades is the best dad

Aphrodite wasn’t Zeus’s kid, she was more of his Aunt, made from his grandpa Uranus (the sky) being castrated by Kronos and when his genitals fell into the sea she was born. Plus Poseidon and Zeus had basically the same personality, he even tried to overthrow Zeus. And I’m not sure if Persephone ever did anything with him or if she was his niece or daughter… I certainly never heard of her being with anyone other than Hades. He definitely did stuff with his sisters and mortal kids, haven’t really seen him with his fully divine daughters either.

I thought Persephone was Demeter’s daughter not Hera’s (both are Zeus’ sisters but still…)?
