"Go push a rock up a hill." Is probably the best possible voice line for the push game. It is in reference to Sisyphus which was punished by the gods to eternally push a boulder up a hill. Everytime he got close to pushing it to the top the rock rolled back down. Sound familiar? He was punished for tricking and capturing death.

In the Odyssey, Odysseus sails home after the events of the Trojan War. On the way, Odysseus pisses off a few gods, gets shipwrecked a few times, and goes on many adventures, which delays his voyage. With all the detours, the return trip lasts 10 years in total. BP 39: I think this is referring to the linothorax, a type of chestplate with iron scales sewn onto a linen base. BP 46: Dionysus is associated with wine, revelry, madness, ecstasy, and theater. while I can see madness and ecstasy for Junkrat... I don't see the others really applying. afaik we haven't seen Junkrat drunk or partying... but maybe he was secretly a theater kid idk man BP 52: amphora, done in the black-figure pottery style. I believe this style dates to 700-400s BC (?) BP 54: refers to Herakles' 5th labor, cleaning the stables of Augeas BP 58: according to legend, in 490 BC, after the battle of Marathon, the Greek messenger Pheidippides ran 40 km/25 mi from Marathon to Athens to announce the victory over the Persians. We have named our running marathons (which are about the same length) after this legendary run :) BP 60: ... not at all accurate. Hades, like Zeus, was often depicted as a bearded man seated on a throne. Sometimes he's with Persephone, sometimes he's carrying his bident, sometimes with Cerberos. The armor references Cerberos, but that's about where the similarities start and end. The laurel wreath on the helmet is a nice touch BP 63: good boy Cerberos BP 64: Did you know Mt. Olympus is a real mountain in Greece? You can climb up there :) we've also found signs of sacrifice, coins, and other offerings up there BP 67: As punishment for attempting to cheat death, Sisyphus is forced to push a giant boulder endlessly up a hill. Once it reaches the top, it bounces all the way down, and he must push it up again. BP 68: the winged helmet of Hermes! Without the wings, it is known as a petasos, and was worn by both the Greeks and the Etruscans (esp by travelers and people who worked long hours outside) BP 72: the laurel wreath was worn by victorious athletes, gods, and later political figures. Laurel leaves are also known as bay leaves (like the ones in your soup) BP 74+75: the decapitated head of Medusa, which could turn people to stone. After Perseus kills the evil king Polydectes with it, he gives the head to Athena, who places it in her shield (Aegis) to terrify her enemies. BP 80: as previously mentioned, not accurate at all. Zeus is normally an older, bearded man with kingly attributes. His thunderbolt (not a lightning bolt) doesn't actually look like the zigzag lightning we normally think of, which is a modern fabrication. The real thing looks more like a glorified plant tbh. Zeus never wielded an axe, and that landing pose + calling the weapon evokes more Marvel's Thor than Zeus (or actual Norse Mythology Thor i think) sorry for the wall of text. brain fried from finals. thank u for reading and i hope u learned something :)

The skins in the BP are real good for season 2 but I would’ve preferred a sigma Zeus skin JQ just didn’t scream Zeus to me more Ares or to an extension hades.

Not trying to be biased, I am a mythology nerd and loved the stories/learning about each God but aside from that; this battle pass theme and the skins go hard asf. A lot better than the supposed cyberpunk theme of last season which was all over the place

Not sure if Flats forgot Soldier 76's Bug Hero skin. Probably should have questioned the icon and sprays like I did. It is a huge Kamen Rider reference compared to Genji's skin.

my only grip with the battlepass is that half of the skins are not on theme they should have taken the soilder tracer echo and anna skins and put the other 4 greek skins then have those other skins in the shop
