At times, when I'm reading things I get flashes of images that entertain me muchly. I am currently reading my way through A History of Pagan Europe for the DP. Well, I'm in the chapter on Rome and the Western Mediterranean. They are discussing how the Roman gods were slowly overwritten to become identical to their Greek counterparts (or pretty near that) and that there was a kind of party for the gods where pairs were given sacrifices of food during open houses. These pairs were based on the Greek legends of relationships, not Roman, despite the deities being paired being Roman. For instance, Mars and Venus were paired despite having nothing to do with each other in Roman mythology to this point because Ares and Aphrodite (their Greek counterparts) were known as lovers. Anyway, my brain showed me a scene of Venus and Mars together at a party.
MARS: Well, they did put us in the same room together with all of this wine and a couch...*eyebrow waggle*
VENUS: *looking down her nose slightly* I don't care what they think. Just because those two *gestures to Ares feeding Aphrodite grapes while she giggles like a schoolgirl* are involved doesn't mean I want anything to do with your implement of war.
Sometimes it's fun to live in my brain.
