John Sidney McCain III as Chaos.
Chaos referred to a gap or abyss at the beginning of the world, or more generally the initial, formless state of the universe.
Reasoning: John McCain existed before everything.
Albert Arnold Gore Jr. as Ganymede.
Ganymede was the most attractive of mortals, which led Zeus, in the form of an eagle, to abduct him for service as cup-bearer to the gods and, in Classical and Hellenistic Greece, as Zeus’s eromenos.
The eagle is obviously a metaphor for the President of the United States of America who kidnapped the beautiful Al Gore to serve his every needs. When I say I think Bill got with everyone, I mean Bill got with everyone.
David Axelrod and Carl the Intern as Phobos (Horror) and Deimos (Terror)
The personifications of Horror and Terror (respectively) who accompanied their father, Ares, to war as his attendents.
Okay, so this is going into ~political fandom territory because this version of Axelrod and Carl the Intern are completely based on @MayorEmanuel’s twitter account. So if you don’t follow that twitter as avidly as us Rahm girls/boys do, you probably won’t get the joke of Axelrod and Carl the Intern accompanying Rahm (Ares).
So yeah, just discard this post. This is for my own personal happiness.
Anderson Hays Cooper as Iris
Iris is the personification of the rainbow and messenger of the gods. As the sun unite Earth and Heaven, Iris links the gods to humanity.
I mean, obviously Anderson Cooper would be the personification of rainbows.
Johnny Reid Edwards as Priapus
Priapus was a minor rustic fertility god, protector of livestock, fruit plants, gardens and male genitalia. Priapus was best noted for his large, permanent erection, which gave rise to the medical term priapism.
This needs no explanation.
Edward Samuel Miliband as Prometheus
He was a champion of mankind, known for his wily intelligence, who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to mortals. Zeus then punished him for his crime by having him bound to a rock while a great eagle ate his liver every day only to have it grow back to be eaten again the next day.
In this context, Zeus is David Cameron and our Lord and Savior, Brometheus, is Ed Miliband.
David Wright Miliband as Epimetheus
Creator of animals, his name literally means “afterthought,” but in the manner of a fool looking behind, while running forward. - Wikipedia
I just wanted Ed to be the cooler one.
Sonia Sotomayor, Ruth Ginsburg, and Elena Kagan as Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos (The Moirae/Fates)
“Even the gods feared the Moirae. Zeus also was subject to their power”
We all know that would the three liberal ladies of the Supreme Court. I’ll just ignore the other six because I can.
Barbara Levy Boxer as Artemis/Diana
Virgin goddess of the hunt, virginity, archery and all animals. Symbols include the moon, deer, hound, she-bear, snake, cypress tree and bow and arrow.
She led the battle to block oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Obviously she cares about animals and wildlife. Her work with the environment is amazing.
