The Gods Fucked Up Shit

Tantalus killed his own son, Pilops, and cut him up into little pieces. The gods banded together around this murderous dinner table,. They put Pilops together again piece by piece. Only piece of Pilops that would never again be whole was the little bite that Demeter took before she realized. It was a little piece of Pilop's shoulder; Hephaestus would make him an ivory shoulder to put in place - otherwise just a weird gaping hole in the middle of his shoulder.
