Thank you very much! I had hoped it might elicit a cackle or two!

Thank you, Wisteria!

It seems cluelessness is found all across the multiverse!

Thank you!

A conspiracy of ladies!

I thought it would be fun to write a continuation to the first fic when I wrote it, way back, but at the time nothing came to me.

"She ships Theseus/Pirithous", was literally what OspreyEamon suggested, when we discussed why Athena would support the others in this, despite favouring Theseus, usually. So I thought it would be fun to have someone say it!

Yes, poor Zeus!

Thank you! I'm happy it made you laugh!

Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it!

Who knows? It has apparently taken me seven years to write this mini-sequel. But maybe more will come to me now?

Actually, how about this, although it doesn't involve Athena?

'You can let me up now,' said Herakles, aggrieved. 'I really did not mean to attack any of you!'

'You are safer staying down,' said Edhellos from where she sat on his legs. 'Some of our friends are angrier with you than you have probably realized. Don't try to throw us off, you might get run through with a spear.'

'We are giving you the benefit of the doubt,' Lalwen explained, holding down his middle. 'Because of possible cultural differences. You see, when Hippolyta said she was sorry for you and going to give you her precious and powerful girdle, if you really needed it...'

'That was literally all she meant,' continued Elenwe, who was holding his arms pinned. 'Just her girdle, that is. Not the woman inside it. She was very much not offering the sort of comfort you apparently thought. And, in the Amazon language, no means no.'

'But maybe that was all Greek to you...' Lalwen concluded and gave his midriff an extra warning push.

Herakles subsided.

I have realized this may not be clear: the idea is that once Herakles started getting seriously out of line, Hippolyta was able to summon help very quickly before things went any further.

Thank you!

This interpretation of the Hippolyta's situation is not canonical, but I think it is a possible revisionist reading, rather than completely AU.

And so I wanted my Noldorin immigrants to help fix it.

Thank you, wisteria!

I fear that they won't manage to persuade all Greek men, but if at least some of them get the message that's already progress...
