      Narcissus was not aroace, that’s slapping modern ideals on what’s literally an aesop about living up your own arse.

      Hestia and Athena, definitely though. And Tesla.

      It’s not the same though, those are fictional characters. I know a real person made them, but still, it’s not the same

        They’re not fictional, they’re mythical. Here’s the difference between reality, fiction, and myth: Fiction is made out of the rearranged parts of reality. Myth is made out of fiction that people thought was important. And reality is made out of myth that people took too literally.
