Section 36: Learning Lessons
Hera falls down Olympus!
(Demigods not present)
Poseidon: How, Hera? Were you trying to fly or something?
Hera: I can fly, you idiot! And I didn't just fall!
Hephaestus: Yes. I'd like you all to give the credit of pushing Hera down Mount Olympus to me.
Zeus: You pushed my wife?!
Hephaestus: Before you say anything, I'd like to say that my actions were completely justified. Hera threw me down Olympus before, so I gave her the same taste.
Athena: An eye for an eye.
Poseidon: Yeah….or a god for a god. Make that goddess!
Hera: It's not justified! I threw you because you were ugly. And I'm not ugly!
Hephaestus: Not on the outside, but your heart is as ugly as….as the grey, greasy stone paths that lead up to Hades' palace in the Underworld.
Apollo: How poetic! I think I'll recite….
Artemis: I think I'll recite a death curse for you if you compose one of your haikus.
Hera: Ouchhh! My ribs and legs hurt so much.
Hephaestus: Yeah, now you can appreciate how I felt when I was thrown. And I was a baby.
Hera: Ughhhhhhhhhh…..wait a minute. Didn't you take your revenge afterward?
Zeus: Oh yes! By binding Hera into your magical throne?
Hephaestus: You think that was enough? I didn't do half of what you would have done if someone threw you down Olympus?
Zeus: WHO would DARE? Those blasted imbeciles…..I'd tear their muscles, rip their tendons, wring their necks, tear their flesh…..oh. Ehm.
Hephaestus: Exactly.
Hermes: You could have done something different, though, mate. Like steal her 123-karat sapphire rings. I always wanted them.
Hephaestus: I wasn't taking revenge for YOU, Hermes.
Poseidon: Okay, okay. Personally, I liked this revenge. Throw Hera off the mountain again.
Hera: (growl)
Not too long…..sorry!
