The Movie Oracle: Introducing: Dear Gods! #1

The gods are coming back?

Dionysos, god of wine: Yes, we are! Long ago the gods grew weary of man's problems and "outsourced" our duties to upstart religions. But retirement got boring and now we're turning once again to the mortal realm, and finding it a very different world. Where to begin getting in touch with this new culture? With movies, of course!

Athena, goddess of wisdom: And other things. I look out for social issues, Dio for aesthetics. Apollo goes for the intellectual, Ares for action, Hera for family values, and so on. Each god gives their unique view on today's cinema and society.

Introducing: Dear Gods! #1

Dionysos, god of wine: So Athena and I were were playing Truth or Dare the other night, trading embarrassing stories, when we realized no one ever hears about all the divine bloopers. Mythology is like watching a DVD without the outtakes!

Athena, goddess of wisdom: For even Zeus is not above the Fates, and they do have a sense of humor.

Besides, what is wisdom without wit?

Dionysos, god of comedy: So we decided to share these moments (the other gods may not like it, but oh well--I was never known for my tact!). After many hours at the drawing board, we are proud to present an original comic strip. This is the first in a new series hosted right here at The Movie Oracle. The comic features us--all your favorite deities--striving to make it in the modern day. Follow our off-color lives in full color!

So without further ado, we give you the first edition of:
Dear Gods!
