What can't you read‽ Zeus can find 70!

Bruh is a god, I think he'll manage.

70 what?

Zagorath@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 2y

Just 70, silly! Come on, get with the programme!

Aceticon@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

From the whole paragraph, that would be 70 sons.

Makes sense as Zeus was well known for his affairs with mortal women using various disguises.

The words are ancient and clear: never trust a big butt and a smile.

I think that's how they said "gold digger" ~2700 years ago

Is grain code for seed?

larvyde@sh.itjust.works · 22 pts · 2y

Back in the day being rich means owning lots of land and harvesting lots of crops from it. Grain means money.

Watch out! She's after your seed!
