I dont think patron saints and multiple gods go together, he can be a prophet. Me and another guy there are both fairly well versed in Greek mythology and we mock our chef for his hubris to the point he has caught on and said 'im going hubris mode!'. It's fun to overstate people's accomplishments in a dead end job and using The Classics as a reference is fun.

The Greek mock-epic tradition agrees with you

I like "hubris mode". Gonna start incorporating that into my critiques of my friend's cats.
