Spyros: One day, somebody's got to make a stand. One day, somebody's got to say enough...
Cassiopeia, undergraduate student in the student government says:
Cassiopeia: The gods need *us*! They need our prayers! What do *we* need the gods for?
Hearing of the stirring riot, Zeus, the director of the research center conjures his faculty:
Zeus: They need to be reminded of the order of things...
And the faculty started requesting students to make slides, perform dead-end useless tedious experiments, and write grant proposals that would only bear the name of the faculty.
Perseus, research assistant phd student (a.k.a. demi-god) says to the gods:
Perseus: I'm not one of you! I'd rather die than stand alongside you!
And Perseus organizes the students, and starts a graduate student union to fight for student rights. Meanwhile, unexpected news come: Perseus' paper was accepted to the top journal of his field.
Zeus, responds:
Zeus: You may not wish to be a god, but after what you've done hundreds will worship you. Look after them. Treat them better than we could. And if you insist on continuing this mundane human existence, I'll not have you do it alone. You're the son of Zeus, after all!
Calibos, before quitting grad school, responds to Zeus' invite to Perseus to continue associated with the research center:
[last words]
Calibos: Perseus... don't become like them.
[falls down a chasm]
Calibos: Perseus... don't become like them.
[falls down a chasm]
Will Perseus graduate and take his place in Olympus, or will he live as a mortal amongst the humans? Will he write the grant proposal?
