awkwardly raises hand "Ancient Athenians, how does one have, and I quote 'snakelike legs'?"

"If I had a nickel for every ancient Greek city founded by a semi-deific snake person, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice." -Red Doofenshmirtz

In Percy Jackson, "Poseidon and Athena working together to make the Chariot" basically meant she created the thing people stand in and he supplied the horses.
-
Snakes when they crop up in religions: "I am... inevitable." Seriously though, they pop up more often then the idea of a god.
-
Athens: "... And we're like, super cool and dope, just read this totally true story about our origins!" Sparta: "Did I?" Athens: "Did you what?" Sparta: "Did I ask?"
-
Athena:makes a tree All of Athens: I’LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK
-
“Guys, we need to convince everyone that we’re cool and important now.” “Someone wrote this random fanfic about Athena and Poseidon and our city that’s kinda neat.” “MAKE IT CANON.”

Ancient Athenian scholars: “history will be kind to me, for I intend to write it”

my little brother walked in while I was watching this and asked "Is that the owl lady?" referring to red. Which can only mean that Red has the same energy as Eda from the owl house
-
"Hubris is dangerous, so decrees the best city EVAR!" –Athens
-
Other Greek Cities: "Oh yeah we were founded by some great hero-" Athens: "WE HAD THAT AND WERE ALSO CLAIMED BY THE GODS THEMSELVES"
-
Ah yes Athens a myth to scare all young spartans like the boogeyman
-
“ they’re so cute when they’re power-hungry.” That sounds like something Zeus would say.
-
The thing I find retroactively funny is that, if Poseidon's spring was just a never ending flow of water, today that would be insanely more practical then a single tree. Like just for hydro-power alone.
