Brutus_Bonaparte010 joined Omnichat
Brutus_Bonaparte010 *adjust butler tie* Sire, your dinner is ready. Also, it is really undignified that I have to join a chat room just to talk to you, when you're right in the next room. Could you please un-soundproof your walls?
Penultimate0725: Shush, you. I'm chatting.

QuartzDude71: I beg to differ.
QuartzDude71: You are so very wrong on that account.
QuartzDude71: Not about Zeus, but on the merits of alternate sources of lightning.
QuartzDude71: So...very wrong.
QuartzDude71: But I digress

BillyBones: I am actually pretty sure she is mistaken about this Zeus, as loath as I am to say.
BillyBones: Thunder and lightning were created by Mother Crim, in celebration of the birth of her grandchildren.
BillyBones: Or so it is believed in Southern Cross.
BillyBones: At least, I think. I regret that the religious practices and beliefs of Southern Cross have only been related to me in inebriated tales.

Tenenet has joined Omnichat

Tenenet: Zeus was an old Greek god.
Tenenet: He made the stuff in Greece.
BillyBones: How interesting.
Tenenet: Over here though?
Tenenet: Seth made it.

Penultimate0725: I must agree with Lady Librarian.
Penultimate0725: Zeus is actually quite well known as another great source of lightning.
Penultimate0725: Then again, so are his ministers, Astrape and Bronte. And his comrades the Elder Cyclopes who help Hephaestus make the lightning
Penultimate0725: And so is Thor.
Penultimate0725: And Perun.
Penultimate0725: And Indra.
Penultimate0725: *Ahem* Excuse the nerd-gasm. Just thought you should know.
