Accurate representation of greek culture mod?
Anyone knows if there is a mod to replace the repulsively insulting art and models of this game with accurate representations of the ancient culture of religion in Greece?
Game is fun but the racist/racebending/cultural appropriation artistic choices ruin it. Racism is disgusting and it's horrible they hired racists for this game art.

I agree, why can't I find a game that depicts Zeus as a rapist Goose. It's not fair.

"Accurate". Even the Greeks will tell you the pantheon is just there as a basis. You can make up stories left and right. Free reign. There's your accuracy. Zeus is named Zeus and has thunder. Put him in a speedo, put him in a dress, it's still Zeus the man who shagged all of Greece. It's accurate.

So you are basically telling me that Nelson Mandela was white? You know that's a lie right? Nelson Mandela was black and he fought against racism in South Africa, never defame a legend like him ever again.

No, I am transposing his message to something he can grasp to show him how ridiculous it sounds.

Because comparing a god with fictional lore and fictional stories to an actual person is totally sane and proper. Your analogies are as bad as the NFT peddlers and AI wankers who go "you will be RePlaCed because it's the same as Camera". lol

As a Greek myself, I can tell you Hades 2 is definitely 100% accurate and everything happened for real.

You are in par with colonialist projects like zionism that don't have culture themselves, so they play with other people's culture like if it's a joke. But it's not a joke, culture is part of native people, it's part of us. You joking with the culture of an entire nation of people is the same as zionists bombing mosques of the native people of Palestina.
I do not support colonialist racism, so that's why I made this thread to ask for a mod to fix that issue in the game.
Except all of this falls apart when actual Greeks say that you can make up the stories as you want because that's literally what they did in the old times too.
So it's ok to insult the culture of Greece just because your buddy Jim from school who has 1% greek DNA on his ancestry report told you a joke about a greek god?

So, some examples from actual Greek mythology OP wouldn't like:

Apollo was traditionally a young beardless man and was presented with a whole group of male lovers.

Before Prometheus gave fire to humanity he helped create humans and in the process made put the wrong genitals on the wrong people sometimes and created homosexuality.

Hermapthroditus was intersex and, having been created from the child of Aphrodite and Hermes merged with a nymph they were in love with, had their parents create a pool that would make others intersex on bathing in it. This became the Salmacis fountain and drinking from its waters was supposed to make men "effeminate".

Tiresias was a blind prophet of Apollo who was changed into a woman and then later changed back into a man. As a woman Tiresias became a priestess of Hera, got married, and had kids.

Caeneus: Caenis was raped by Poseidon and afterwards gets a wish to be changed into a man. He then changes his name to Caeneus. His sister gets married, a bunch of centaurs show up and decide to go about the raping and when he begins killing them. One begins telling him to leave war to "real men" and Caeneus kills him too. Eventually they manage to kill him by burying him alive but he transforms into a bird that escapes and flies away.

We should add all of these to the story.

Most of those would be metal as ♥♥♥♥ and none of those would involve racist race-swapping so great.

Hades 2 is a fantasy.
It's video game escapism.
It doesn't have to be 100% accurate.
Hell, go look up some real Greek mythology. That stuff is absolutely wild. I suggest this playlist:

Oh, Blood of Zeus s2 is out this week btw, Netflix. Also not totally accurate. But who cares?
