1) What has been the most surprisising thing you have found during your research on Myths and the cultures they exist in?
That Aphrodite is a Kyprian deity much older than the Greek pantheon, associated with the sea and fertility, which completely recontextualized her origins to me.
Mythologically she was born from Uranus amputated genitals, a deed accomplished by his son and father of the Olympians, Chronus. But then this puts Aphrodite as preceding the entirety of the Greek pantheon -- and that makes sense with the archeology! In fact, it seems that Poseidon's domain over the sea is a later development, as originally that fell on Aphrodite.
I think that is really interesting.
2) When it comes to our band of strange but relatable characters, who did the MinoHotel team not expect to be as much of a hit as they did?
I did not expect Nikos to be as favored as he is. We originally hoped it'd be a 50/50 split between him and Pedro but in truth Nikos is one of the most beloved characters in the game, period.
And thank you. I'll sing you this and another song.
