This retelling of the marriage of Hephaestus and Aphrodite just feels so misogynistic.

The goddesses are literally portrayed as hating Aphrodite on sight, even the three "virgin goddesses".

You know, the ones who've sworn off men and live in a world where men act entitled to women's bodies.

So, logically, they are the ones who would BENEFIT from someone stealing attention away from them.

Really, Rick? Suicide is a "cowardly act"?

I thought you knew better than this. Shame on you.

You can't just have Athena take pity on a suicidal mortal?

I thought you were better than this, Mr. Riordan.
