WLBOTT was wondering what happened to the Greek gods and goddesses. Just because people stop praying to them, believing in them, worshipping them; that doesn’t mean they cease to exist. They are immortal, right?
We were able to track down a group of Greek goddesses living on a cul-de-sac in La Mesa, Texas.
They try to blend in as much as possible, but we were able to spot them while their were setting the bins out.
Goddess Hera (right) was very welcoming, and invited the WLBOTT team to visit, learn, and share their experiences.
Até (front), the goddess of of mischief, delusion, ruin, and folly, still has that teen existential angst going on.
By the way, she immediately grasped the WLBOTT mission.
Head mother Hera was not in a particularly good mode this Friday morning.
Goddess Nyx was out all night, overslept and didn’t get the recycles separated.
There was drama….
Daily Life
The WLBOTT crew was surprised by the mundane nature of many aspects of the lives of the modern Greek goddesses.
One of the challenges is that the average goddess is almost 8 feet tall, and their rental home in La Mesa is not accommodating.
Landlord Challenges
The goddesses have the all-to-common problem of a nonresponsive landlord.
For example, the garbage disposal recently jammed, and the landlord wasn’t picking up.
The goddesses attempted to repair it themselves:
A visiting siren tried to lend a hand.
Hygieia
The garbage disposal, as well as the general living conditions of her sister Goddesses, was deeply upsetting to Hygieia, She is, after all, the Goddess of good health, cleanliness, and sanitation.
But the goddesses still have a few tricks up their toga sleeves. For example, they cast a spell that causes the landlord’s milk to always expire immediately.
In addition, the Goddesses’ spell will make the landlord unable to enjoy soup until the garbage disposal is fixed. The clever goddesses know how fond he is of Campbell’s Armadillo Noodle.
