why the fuck is no one naming their children after greek goddesses? Name your fucking child Persephone?????? Bitch???????!?
If that makes you happy, my name is Demeter
In my experience, people named after Greek goddesses are some of the most ethereal, chaotic forces I have ever encountered.
Our Art Department’s nude model, for example, is a woman named Hera. She’s stunningly beautiful, rides a motorcycle as apparently her only vehicle, grows all her own food, and keeps bees, turtles, and a dog named Argus, who she walks around town with a peacock feather attached to his leash.
I am thoroughly convinced she is not of this realm.
I’m pretty sure you just met Hera.
I met two little girls in the Badlands this past weekend named Persephone and Calliope. Their parents were using ‘Percy’ and ‘Calli’ as nicknames.
They’re out there, and they approach you from behind a 60 million year old rock formation to tell you that they are 5 and 8, and they have their ears pierced.
