Oh, I'm not saying that any of the reasons I listed are completely reasonable in any way; only that the things I put down are Damon's personal reasons for his conflicting emotions toward Hades.

Right, I get it. Well, at least Damon is insightful to the fact that he just needs space and so far it seems Hades is giving him that. Hades needs to give Damon a hug, haha. *Kai hugs Damon* It'll be alright in the very far away future.

Actually, he's not mad at Athena; he's just a bit wary of her. Athena has always been a part of his life, and while she has never always given him straight answers, Damon had also seen firsthand the amount of pressure she was under when it came to her secrets.

Although we didn't even ask him unlike with Athena we asked her I believe.

That would be cool if we could have the option to call Athena our mom - one of them - or tell her how much we appreciate her caring for us and we view her as a mother to us. I like her to but if she betrays me it's a wrap. Personally I'm not mad at either of the . I actually relate to the Hades and Athena situation real life wise. My mother did something similar in regards to what Hades and Athena lying about being our uncle and aunt. I'm not mad about that, so I give these character's a pass because they remind me of this real life situation.

Damon is simply one of the many Bearers I have been molding for the game and currently the only Bearer I have for Hades; I'm doing a Poseidon play-through first with Evander. Though I will do Damon's route after to test out how pragmatic and cunning a Bearer can be, and if even then, they can still be somewhat portrayed as a good person (just one who does what they feel they must).

    Each God or Goddess in Ancient Greek life had a role. Some provided people with a sense of hope, some provided people with fame, and the Goddess Athena provided a sense of authority for humanity.

    This is illustrated through the fact that she has nothing to do other than get Odysseus home, as well as constantly talking about men's power. However, she does help Odysseus in Odyssey. Although Athena is an omnipotent goddess, her only concern is to ensure that Odysseus arrives in Ithaca safely.

    A prominent and recurring topic throughout Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey is the interaction between the gods and the mortals.
