Girl, same. I also don't like the myth about adonis. Depending the version you prefer he is either killed by Apollo, Ares and Artemis. I like to think the three of them team up to kill adonis. Aside from Aphrodite blinding his son Erymanthus, Apollo also care about his muses (Clio and Calliope). As for Ares, while I like to think he doesn't mind aphrodite having other lovers, he is getting tired hearing of her drama about adonis. Artemis want revenge on aphrodite for killing her devoted follower Hippolytus (from what I searched he is the child of either hippolyta or antiope - the amazon daughters of ares. So he is ares grandchild) and maybe revenge for Erinoma as well. So they send out a boar to kill adonis.
And good riddance for that. Adonis is nothing but trouble lol

the muse of history just has to get a look at this human who's been popping up in her scrolls for centuries and getting in the middle of every historical event. and now he's a history professor? what an absolute riot.

“The Mousai are always dancing, and the goddesses love to busy themselves with songs and strings. But when they see Apollon beginning to lead the dance, they put their heart into their singing even more than before and send down from Helikon an all-harmonious sound.”
- Simonides, Fragment 578 (from Himerius, Orations)

The Muses being visibly bigger than Apollo (even if it is slightly) is delightful to me
Yes I know these painters probably didn't care too much about anatomy but this is funny regardless
