Singers Reimagined As Greek Deities

In my humble opinion

Hozier as Orpheus, Son of Apollo

“I’d be the voice that urged Orpheus When her body was found  I’d be the choiceless hope in grief That drove him underground  I’d be the dreadful need in the devotee That made him turn around  And I’d be the immediate forgiveness In Eurydice Imagine being loved by me!” —Hozier, “Talk”

Florence Welch as Hecate, Goddess of Witchcraft

“Holy water cannot help you down Hours and armies couldn’t keep me out I don’t want your money I don’t want your crowd See I have to burn Your kingdom down Holy water cannot help you now See I’ve had to burn your kingdom down And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out I’m gonna raise the stakes, I’m gonna smoke you out” —Florence Welch, “Seven Devils”

Kesha as Iris, Goddess of the Rainbow

“I’ve found a rainbow, rainbow, baby Trust me, I know, life is scary But just put those colors on, girl Come and play along with me tonight” —Kesha, “Rainbow”

Andy Biersack as Thanatos, Personification of Death

“Down the long and winding road Through the bones of other ghosts Rising up now From the cold ground Buried hearts don’t make a sound But I can hear it calling out Like the wind howls Through the dark clouds” —Andy Black, “Introduction: Resurrection”

Brendon Urie as Dioynsus, God of Wine and Parties

“My touch is black and poisonous And nothing like my punch drunk kiss I know you need it Do you feel it Drink the water Drink the wine

Oh we gotta turn up the crazy Livin’ like a washed up celebrity Shooting fireworks like it’s the fourth of July Until we feel all right Until we feel all right

I’m like a scarf trick It’s all up the sleeve I taste like magic Waves that swallow quick and deep” —Panic! at the Disco, “Victorious”

Taylor Swift as Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty

“Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone I’ll be waiting, all that’s left to do is run You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess It’s a love story, baby just say yes” —Taylor Swift, “Love Story”

Marina Diamandis as Demeter, Goddess of Fertility and the Harvest

“I’ve seen seasons come and go From winter sun to summer snow This ain’t my first time at the rodeo Nature ain’t a fruit machine She’s gotta keep her credits clean Good things come to those who wait But I ain’t in a patient phase” —Marina and the Diamonds, “Froot”

Lorde as Artemis, Goddess of the Moon and the Hunt

“You could try and take us  But we’re the gladiators  Everyone a rager  But secretly they’re saviors Glory and gore go hand in hand That’s why we’re making headlines  You could try and take us  But victory’s contagious Delicate in every way but one (the swordplay) God knows we like archaic kinds of fun (the old way) Chance is the only game I play with, baby We let our battles choose us

And the cry goes out  They lose their minds for us and how it plays out  Now we’re in the ring and we’re coming for blood” —Lorde, “Glory and Gore”
