Or buy five, use one on the vendor and you get the other four free because he doesn't remember you need to pay him.

The automated factory that makes them had an accident awhile back, and as a result nobody knows where these things keep coming from anyway.

Pretty sure it wasn't an accident. Obviously this was done to enable them to always exist. Everyone just blames Eris.

... What an ominous question. A quick google search brings up Algea, god of pain. Why do you ask?

The Greek pantheon has the Algea (singular Algos), the spirits of pain and suffering, both mental and physical. They are the children of Eris along with Lethe, Limos, Horkos, and Ponos, and only three of their names are known; Pain, Grief and Sorrow. (Exactly how many of them there are is unclear, beyond 'more than 3'.)

...Don't know why, but I feel like Dionysus and Taylor are going to get along as well as a drunker in hangover and brilliant dawn sunshines.

Taylor states she's not a drinker.
Dionysus states that she simply hasn't found the right drink yet. And for her betterment, he will ensure that she does.
Taylor tries to flee.

Which leads to me having to make this question, Drunken godling taylor shenanigans when?

Considering that she is a chthonic deity:
Most likely when Dionysus appears to the feast in the underworld in end-game of The House of Hades.
But either way, I will be very disappointed if having a drunken, Greek deity Taylor does not generate a slugfest.

It would be rather difficult. Hades doesn't seem to enjoy drunken revelry in his house and I'm honestly not sure if Necter or Ambrosia in this setting even have alcoholic properties. More to the point this is post-GM Taylor we're talking about; IE massive control freak and paranoia out the wazoo. The only way she'd 'allow' herself to become drunk is if she didn't realize that whatever she was eating/drinking had that effect.

And that's how Taylor got into a drunken fistfight with Aristaeus over who was better at bees.
Completely and entirely unrelated to this, Hades later declared that bees were banned from the Underworld henceforth.

Nah, killing Zion isn't killing a God. It's closer to killing a Titan. Something in the neighborhood of a God's weight-class, but not really.

The Titans were the progenitors of the gods though?

True, but if I recall correctly, teh Titans tended to be weaker than the Gods, unless I'm confusing them with something else.
Also, I'm equating their general strength, not saying that Zion is a Titan, it's that he's about in par with one, meaning sure, he could tangle with the Gods, but he wouldn't last long.

I think it was more a case of group membership. "Power levels" are a bit iffy because it depends on specific myths and those drifted a lot across Ancient Greece and greek-adjacent cultures.

Very true, and it doesn't help that the myths and what happens in them vary wildly with which city state you're looking at, the only similarities are the characters since even the broadstrokes and characterizations can be different.
Most of Greek Mythos we have comes from Athens, but they're gynophobic and very biased so it doesn't paint a good picture to modern sensibilities, while some of the other myths like the ones from Sparta are less gynophobic, but not by that much, and paint some of the Gods and Goddesses in entirely different lights.
Kinda like fanfiction.
