Eight.

Be hunted by a wolf pack or be hunted by a lion pride?

The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

Caradìlis

Wolf pack, they're more reasonable and I can talk them down... ;D

Kore or Persephone?
"Those who don't beieve in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl

Jubal

Persephone is a nicer name, I think :)

The Misty Mountains or the Blue Mountains?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

Caradìlis

(It does mean "to bring about death", so well duh it's a fab name!!!)

Misty Mountains (queue Ed Sheeran singing somewhere in the background...)

Be Zeus or Hades?
"Those who don't beieve in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl

Jubal

Hades. If Erebus suddenly has a large population of dwarves, you'll know what happened.


Bears or Tigers?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

Caradìlis

(Right answer... Zeus is a - unleashes string of censored curse words)

Bears, I like Atalanta...

Olympus or Elysium?
"Those who don't beieve in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl

Jubal

I mean, Hades is hardly perfect either... it's easy with Greek myth to do the "oh but this guy's OK, he only committed a small fraction of the number of rapes and arbitrary murders that Zeus did!"

Olympus. The place needs someone with slightly more morality and decency than the current occupants, and whilst I don't think I'm the best person for that job, better me than nobody!

Towels or Bowels?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

Caradìlis

Well, depending on honuch agency you let Persephone have, he didn't commit any rapes, was never unfaithful to his wife and the really sadistic Tartarus stuff is all on Zeus, Hades just supervises... His punishments are stuff like glueing someone to a chair with snakes, and that guy really deserved it...

Towels, so I can wipe up the guy I disem-boweled... (laughs about own joke)

Plans or dreams?
"Those who don't beieve in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl

Jubal

There are a lot of variants of the Persephone story in which it's pretty clearly rape. You can pick the ones or rewrites where it isn't, but if you're going to do that then why not do it for any other God? Secondly, "I was just supervising" is not an excuse for torture (again, you can justify it in myths with "but it's OK, they're gods/the moral code is different", but then again you could do that for all the deities).

Dreams. Always. :)

sh or gh?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

Caradìlis

He's still got the moral high ground over like 98% of  men in greek mythology...

Hrsh

Ph or th
"Those who don't beieve in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl

Jubal

Ph, because th should be a thorn, it's a good letter.


Light or darkness?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

Caradìlis

Darkness, because Light cannot exist without darkness, and without the night we would never see the stars... :)

James Bond or Ethan Hunt?
"Those who don't beieve in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl

Jubal

James Bond.


Martini shaken, or stirred?
