I feel like the one I would choose Xolotl. I am someone with has made few friends but who stands up for them all and who has been durable in doing so, and to this end have found myself opposing newly appointed leadership almost to the death.
Sisyphus. Same shit different day
Prometheus. New liver same eagles
I came to say sisyphus and I expected that to be the response to 90 percent of the comments the world the way it is.
I was about to say this but remembered Sisyphus found pleasure in the process
Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra
Sisyphus. I’ve spent my life pushing this huge boulder up the hill but never quite achieving anything. It’s getting really old. Next time it rolls to the bottom I’m tempted to leave it there
Job. One fucking disaster after another.
The Minotaur caus I’m horny
Oedipus.
The good old Oedipus complex, where you mean one thing but fuck your mother.
nice.
Dude,
Xolotl was the dog teotl (god) who was associated with Nanahuat(zin) and the nahualli of Ehecatl Quetzalcoatl. He was renowned for retrieving maize from The Mountain of Sustance. Nanahuatzin threw himself into a sacred pyre and became Tonatiuh (the sun). Xolotl was sacrificed last by Quetzalcoatl because he fled and turned himself into his nahualli the axolotl. Dogs and axolotls were considered a source of food so he represents the sacrifice necessary to eat, also the planet/star Venus in the evening.
I don’t know what aspect of Mixtec Pueblo mythology you’re referring to.
Oh cool, I know something about the mythology of the Xolo dog breed, but I didn’t realize they were named for this mythical dog.
Cassandra from Greek mythology. Successful/artistic but also regrettably stigmatized/unlucky supposedly due to my past and the people I’m exposed to every day.
Sisyphus is the only Greek figure I can think of that’s not cringe to ascribe to yourself. And that’s only because nobody remembers the shit he did to get punished. The other tragic ones are either a humblebrag or concerning. Romulus and Remus are concerning. Enkidu is both, Gilgamesh is a straight up brag, as are the non-tragic Greek figures. All biblical prophets are (humble)brags. Norse gods are all brags, and saga heroes are mostly too obscure for me to know in detail.
I guess you could say Zacchaeus if you’re short, or Goliath if you’re really big. Oh wait, I guess going with physical things you could self-own with any monster.
