Zeus’ Lovers
“Most people would have given up at that point, but not Zeus, who is known for his ‘never say die’ attitude.” There are many stories of Zeus’ infidelity, far too many to cover in one blog (and I will look at some of the more notable ones separately), but here are a few to whet…
Zeus and Hera
“From the moment she emerged out of their father’s stomach, covered in blood and slime, Zeus had lusted after his older sister.”
Zeus and Leto: Apollo and Artemis
“Hera was still not finished; her rage knew no bounds.”
Zeus and Metis: the Birth of Athena
“It was like something was banging on the inside of his skull and it was driving him insane, so insane that he ordered Hephaestus to smash him over the head with his axe”
War of the Titans: the Aftermath
“Buried beneath the rubble of Mount Othrys, the Titans met their Waterloo.”
War of the Titans: the Battle
“The Earth shook, mountains were formed and the landscape was ravaged…”
The Beginning: Gaia and Ouranos
“Ouranos’ little fella flew into the sea and produced a white foam from which sprang Aphrodite – the goddess of love”
Erysichthon: the one who ate himself
“King Erysichthon ate. And ate. And then he ate some more. Nothing would fill him.”
Perseus and Medusa
“It didn’t take long before he heard the sound of slithering and hissing. He followed the noise and found Medusa pacing around. Her hair was a dreadlock of terrifying snakes and her eyes were grey and piercing.”
Pandora’s Jar
“As they slept that night, the jar kept returning to Pandora’s thoughts. It was in her mind as she laid in bed and when sleep finally arrived it came to her in her dreams.”
Hector vs. Achilles: A City Mourns
“And so he stands. Alone. The city walls towering over him. They were built to protect him. Now they isolate him.”
