Not a fan of Paenaemonium part 2

Definitely giving him too much credit.

Lahabrea was concerned about whether she loved Lahabrea. Kid did not matter. Him loving her did not matter. All that mattered was if she loved him.

Man is a psychopath.

I think it's totally fair to ask if your wife loves you in a shaky relationship.

I take it you came from a nuclear family.

that scene was just sad. he spent hundreds of years building a life, both personally and academically, with athena only to find out he was just another tool for her.

Great point. It's easy to forget that hundreds to thousands of years could be passing between anything. They could have been together for centuries on the small scale for all we knew.

We have completely no idea what Ancient timeframes are like or what 'long' would be for them, but it's pretty clear they were together for a while. They have a child! Who is at least be fairly grown by the time of that scene; my best guess says maybe he's the Ancient equivalent of, like, eight years old. Even on normal human scales... holy crap, imagine learning eight years after your son was born that your partner's only been using both you and him as tools and test subjects.

And if you still think she could be totally cool... I assume you're picturing yourself as Athena in this situation, and not as Lahabrea or, even worse, Erich.
