Why You Should Listen
Imagine Zeus pleading the Fifth, Poseidon flooding the courtroom, and Dionysus swearing on a wine glass. Funny? Yes. Familiar? Uncomfortably so.
This essay stages a Monty Python–style trial of the Greek and Roman gods for their crimes against humanity. But the joke isn’t just divine mischief—it’s a mirror. Every absurd objection, every thunderbolt filibuster, every goat in the jury echoes what we see in our own leaders: impunity, arrogance, and justice played as theater.
We laugh, then we recognize ourselves. And that recognition is the point.
