It's due to the massive inbreeding, I'm afraid. Along with the loose teeth and innate banjo-playing ability, Multiple Personality Disorder also seems to come with the territory. It's not so much about having "blue blood" as "overpasteurized blood."
Zeus wasn't royalty, though. He was head of the gods, but not king of the gods. When you're an honest-to-God god, you don't need any made-up titles or chintzy pointy headgear to boost your ego. You can achieve that just by frying a few heretics and overaweing a few local beauty queens. (You know, the same way Illiad spends his weekends.) |
