  1. Melinoe's candor and her general obliviousness to the depths of the Olympians' pettiness is some of my favorite character writing for her (which is even funnier when she's exhausted with their Trials and lets her impatience bleed a bit).

    Here, it gives the impression that Hera doubts her motivations and sincerity, when Melinoe's consistently been shown to think well of her extended family and either forget (or not know) their spiteful and vindictive natures have harmed others in ways more than her own Trials. Girlie is being sincere, Hera!!

  2. Mel is too nice and kind for the Greek pantheon lol. I think she is a great foil to them honestly.

    Hera atleast is honest and upfront with the fact that the Olympians are not morally upstanding gods and only care about themselves.

  3. Seeing this makes me wonder: How does Hera feel about the House of Hades? We know she doesn't view them as Olympians, she says as much, but aside from that. The House of Hades had a very functional group dynamic. Hades remains faithful to Persephone alone, maintaining a professional relationship with Nyx despite how long they've known each other and how long Persephone was gone. Zagreus has multiple lovers yes, but they all are not only aware of each other, but respect one another and are all perfectly fine with the relationship. Trust, Respect, and Faith are held in high regard after the events of the first game, and even now Hades only has good things to say about everyone, despite their flaws. How does Hera feel seeing that, and comparing it to the dumpster fire of affairs, mistrust, conflict, and dysfunction that is not just Olympus, but in her husband alone? How does she feel seeing this group that she clearly feels is beneath her, being a better family unit, the very thing she is the goddess of, than her own family?

  4. I like how Hera's default tone seems to be one of barely restrained contempt. Given that she arguably suffers worse family shenanigans than a sitcom wife by way of being married to a man who just can't keep in his toga, it's hard to blame her.
