The sons of Hermes love to play And only do their best when they Are told they oughtn’t; Apollo’s children never shrink From boring jobs but have to think Their work important.
hm...I don't seem to fit either, unless "play", "important" and "boring" are given meanings they don't normally have.:) Put me with Hestia, tending the fire.
Gosh,I was not even thinking of a double-entendre at all...You guys oughta get yer minds outta gutter...:-) That's Oscar and Greek mythology, thank you very much. ::sniff, sniff:: ::walks away with nose held high in the air:: :-D
Why, I believe they are the noble companions of the serious minded, of which Oscar is a most heroic example :-) That said, I'm no classicist so I look to Anna for verification!
Owl is the companion of Athena, goddess of wisdom and wars fought using one's brains, as opposed to mindless carnage, which is presided over by Ares...

I don't know.
Heh. Given that I already have a stuffed owl companion, my brood is pretty obvious...:-)
That's an awful thing to say about your significant other - he's a crow not an owl. :)
Anna, that some kind of high-falutin' double-entendre with Oscar and a mythological reference, or just Oscar? :)

Cool, but for those of us who got a sheet of paper instead of an education, where do Oscars fit in Greek mythology?
