Grecing out.

So now it's time for a little comprehension quiz. You remember the story of Asclepius from last season?

Because that story sets up this story perfectly. But if you don't remember, don't worry, that's okay. We'll still give you a quick recap.

This is the story of the God Apollo and how he wound up tricking the three fates into saving a man's life. It's also the story of Apollo being

forced to work as a servant in the mortal world for almost a decade and that's how we

start things. Okay so here's the backstory.

Apollo was the god of healing and medicine and many other things and he had a mortal

son named Asclepius who was a healer. He was a great healer. In fact he was such a good

healer that he could bring back the dead. And this was kind of a no-no for most of the gods.

So eventually Zeus had to strike him down with a

thunderbird. Obviously Apollo was upset and angry about this in fact he was so

upset about it that he decided to have a stern and open talk with his father.

We have lied to you for humor reasons. That did not happen. Yeah, no, right, of course that didn not happen.

Yeah, no, right, of course that didn't happen.

That would be the well-adjusted thing to do.
