    Most of the monsters in Greek myths used to be beautiful girls that said they were more beautiful than some random goddess (or something along those lines), and half of the trees in Greece used to be a sad guy or girl that the gods took pity on and transformed for some reason.

    The ancient gods were weird.

      The tree thing sounds like the Greek God version of carbon credits.

        It’s weird how many people they turned into trees for a variety of reasons. It was the solution to everything back then.

        Mob unjustly angry with a hero? Make him a tree. Guy trying to rape a girl? Poof, she’s a tree.

        Life was simple. And had lots of random trees.
