| Eye On Olympus: |
Hello, Lady Demeter! Glad you could make it today, how are you doing?
|
| Demeter: |
I'm well enough.
|
| Eye On Olympus: |
That's good, good, let's get cracking shall we? Let's talk cereal.
|
| Demeter: |
Oh? I do like cereal. What would you like to talk about specifically?
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
Hm, lets see, what's your opinion of "children's cereal"?
|
| Demeter: |
You mean those awful sugary things?
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
I do indeedy!
|
| Demeter: |
Absolute travesties, the lot of them.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
Well then, for the benefit of the delightful readers, what is your favorite brand of cereal?
|
| Demeter: |
Wheaties, naturally! They are the breakfast of champions, after all~
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
Oh excellent choice, I must say! Does Persephone enjoy Wheaties?
|
| Demeter: |
Not nearly as much as she should, I'm afraid. /sighs I do wish she would eat healthier cereals, her fiber intake is frighteningly low.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
It seems that's not the only way she disappoints you.
|
| Demeter: |
Oh?
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
Indeed. Tell me, is it true you disowned Persephone?
|
| Demeter: |
Not...in so many words.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
My sources tell me you called her a "whore". What would you like to say in defense?
|
| Demeter: |
I believe I'd like to plead the fifth on that, actually.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
Well that's no fun!
|
| Demeter: |
I'm afraid you'll have to find your amusement elsewhere, then.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
Alright, alright, And this "argy-bargy" took place after her short trip to Europe with Lord Hades?
|
| Demeter: |
Quite.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
This brings me onto you relationship with Lord Hades, how would you describe it?
|
| Demeter: |
...tumultuous.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
Exciting, confusing and disorderly?
|
| Demeter: |
Perhaps more in a violent and stormy sense of the word.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
How intriguing, do you still disapprove of his relationship to your daughter?
|
| Demeter: |
What a pointless question, of course I do. It's not as if I've ever displayed anything to the contrary.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
It was a qualifying question for our readers who are in doubt. /scowls. Moving on, as we all know, your relationship with Hades has always been, well..rocky, how much has it changed since his mistress came into the picture?
|
| Demeter: |
I assume you mean the little Italian wench? Or not so little now, I suppose.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
Indeed, has her..-for want of a better term- living arrangements worsened your relationship with your son-in-law?
|
| Demeter: |
It certainly hasn't bettered them.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
And yet, in spite of this, you have cut Persephone off, and consequentially pushed her into the arms of her husband that you so despise?
|
| Demeter: |
...what Persephone does now is her own business.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
One would think that as her mother you would be interested in her business?
|
| Demeter: |
I thought Persephone made it quite clear that my opinions as a mother are no longer wanted.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
Do you account that some of Persephone's "rebelliousness" may be due to the company she keeps?
|
| Demeter: |
Absolutely. She was nothing like this before she met those two buffoons, Apollo and Dionysus.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
Are you saying she is easily influenced?
|
| Demeter: |
It would certainly appear so.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
I wonder, do you blame any of her less-than-delightful qualities on her Father?
|
| Demeter: |
As much as I would like to, the only thing I can blame Zeus for is being an absentee father who sold his daughter to the devil.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
Do you resent the fact he was an absent father?
|
| Demeter: |
Not especially. As much as I wish Persephone could have had a father to look up to, Zeus is hardly prime role model material, and it would have been impossible, given the circumstances.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
Ah yes, here at Eye on Olympus we've heard you have a rather strained relationship with your sister, Lady Hera. Care to elaborate?
|
| Demeter: |
On the contrary, we've become quite a bit closer over the past few decades.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
Oh? So no hard feelings then?
|
| Demeter: |
For what?
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
Well come now, we all know how Lady Hera gets when Zeus get ~close to another woman, let alone her sister!
|
| Demeter: |
Then it would be more fitting for you to be asking her if she has hard feelings then, don't you think?
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
So you don't detect any?
|
| Demeter: |
Well I hardly go looking for them. It's not as if I enjoy fighting with my sister.
|
| Eye on Olympus: |
Hm. Interesting. It seems that's all we have time for, thank you for joining us, it's been most illuminating.
|
| Demeter: |
The pleasure was mine, I'm sure. |
