"No. Philosophy is more theoretical. Science is based on research - facts, data, and hypotheses. In the ancient world, the two were a lot more intertwined, but science explains how the world works around us without a godly influence."

Explaining modern science to an ancient Greek god of the Underworld might be a task too big for one child of Athena, but it doesn't mean she can't pretend otherwise.

"It's not like they're coming up with explanations without reasoning or logic. They discover them via specific studies. There are a lot of other reasons behind the decline of Ancient Greek hegemony, but it might end up depressing you at a party that's apparently supposed to be fun."
