Liv: 我完全同意Sky的观点，认为赫拉试图发动的政变可能反映了对女性力量的恐惧。在神话故事中，我们常常能发现一些隐藏的文化信息。这个政变的故事，虽然在现存的资料中只是零星地被提及，但它可能暗示着在父权社会中，女性曾经拥有更大的权力和影响力。这个故事的缺失，或许是因为当时的社会试图淡化女性力量的存在，避免对当时的社会秩序产生威胁。因此，我们今天所看到的关于赫拉政变的描述，可能只是当时社会对女性力量的一种压制和扭曲。 Sky: 我认为宙斯政变可能是因为害怕女性也会对当权的男性采取同样的行动。这个政变的故事与其他神话故事相比，显得有些突兀，这让我觉得它背后可能隐藏着更深层次的原因。同时，我也认为当时的女性对赫拉的看法与神话中的描述可能大相径庭。

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
