Jon's Queen Consort Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Plenty of great issues to study on those aswell :bowdown: I think the reason Robert baratheon is my favourite character is that the path from young hero to midlife crisis gets me interested in a reader perspective, we have so much redemption stories nowadays that some tragic ones become as interesting as they were millenia ago Agree. For some reason I always think about Poseidon when I read about Robert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the Storm Kings ARE descendents of the gods of sea and wind afterall, if we choose to believe Durran's story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BlackBear Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Zeus can't be Stannis, Zeus's main trait to me is his womanising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Storm Reborn Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 It depends, there´s the Disney version picture of Zeus and Hades as Robert and Stannis respectively, but reading the myths we get a lot more about the Greek Gods than Dysney´s "simple" versions... By the way, i clearly would bet money the big 3 Baratheon brothers are an homage to the big 3 Greek Gods, it´s too damn similar a concept... They don´t even get POV's just so we can have a more "interpretative" inner view about them, just like the Gods in mythology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
