Well, I guess we named her right.



Your result for The Mythological Goddess Test...

Hera

Indeed, you are 46% erudite, 79% sensual, 79% martial, and 46% saturnine.

Hera, Queen of the Gods, patroness of married women, and wife to the prodigiously unfaithful Zeus, was a remarkably faithful wife in contrast to the infidelities of her husband. Over and over, Zeus would sneak around and cheat on her, and over and over, Hera would try and thwart his amorously clandestine plans. After reading several accounts of this relationship, you get the impression that the whole thing was a big game to these two.


Unfortunately, the mortal women that Zeus was so attracted to usually didn't find the game very much fun, especially once Hera found them out. For while Hera could be noble and generous, she was no one to mess with. Her temper was infamous. After all, this Greek Goddess saw to it that Troy was destroyed and that every last Trojan was wiped out of existence, simply because Paris thought Aphrodite was hotter than she.


Even Artemis, “Queen of Animals”, “Mistress of Wild Beasts” and of the whole of wild nature, is said to have appeared like a frightened pigeon when Hera, angry at her on account of Artemis' support of the Trojans, grabbed her by the wrists and boxed her with her own weapons, warning here that "…if you match yourself with me you will regret it."


By the way, the animal sacred to Hera was the peacock.

That woman should be so frakking good at kicking ass in a dress and those frakking heels.

And this time, I could control myself and not tell you embarrassing stories about me and Baltar.

Does it make it worse because she was--one of you? Frak, I'm sorry, you don't have to answer that if you don't want. Half the time I forget that you're--you know. A Cylon.

I will. Actually, I--

[locked to Sharon]

We did talk. Okay, so we didn't talk. We, um.

Sparred.

*smirks and says nothing*

Yeah, probably a good idea. Especially if we're going to be talking more about your sex life.

No, it's okay. I don't mind. Honestly, it didn't matter to me. I just wanted to save Hera. The thing that got me was that the Old Man told me I had murdered someone, when I know for a fact that when Boomer was shot by Cally, she didn't go to hack for murder. I'm not sure if I should be happy that the rules have changed or not.

[Locked to Kara]

Uh-huh. Which means you frakked.

And mine with your husband. But it was a long time ago, I swear!

Of course you had to save Hera. I would have done the same for--

Well. It doesn't matter. You just did what you had to do for someone you love. I get that.

[locked]

Yeah. Gods. So, that happened. And then we went to sleep. And now I'm right back to being a bitch to him.

I'm in a better mood, though.

That was sort of my point.

I love Helo, I do. But I love Hera more. I can't explain it.

[Locked to Kara]

Better mood? Well, that's... better, right?

Oh. You know subtlety is not my strong suit, Sharon.

I think you're supposed to think that way, about your kids.

[locked]

Yeah, I...I guess? I mean, we even...he stayed the night. First time we'd done that in a long time. Gods, Sharon, it's all so frakking confusing. I love him, I do. And he says stuff to me and I just...I say these things and they're so mean---ugh.

Love is stupid. I should stick to things with batteries.

No, really? I never would have guessed.

Really? I wouldn't know since she's all I've got. It's not like I have parents of my own to use as role models, either.

[Locked to Kara]

He loves you, you love him. This doesn't sound confusing, it sounds good.

Right?

[identity profile] burnandrave.livejournal.com 2008-08-27 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's what they say.

[locked]

Everything with me is complicated, Sharon, come on.

I just don't know what to do.

You'll figure it out. Later rather than sooner, probably, but you will.

Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence, Athena.

You're probably right.
