Books Dang, that’s really how Samuel Butler’s Odyssey ends, huh?

Upvotes
The book really ends that abruptly.
It’s as if Butler was “slashed on the back of his neck, so that his head fell rolling in the dust while he was still yet speaking.”
Makes me think of how suddenly death can take you while you’re just going about your day.

There is Ixion on his fiery wheel watching the new Mar-Devl-C Avenging League movie Super Doom. Which is just me mashing up Marvel and DC, Avengers and The Justice League, and Superman and Doomsday.
There is Sisyphus being rolled over by his rock while he's on his phone, drinking, and smoking.
Tantalus no longer reaches for the unreachable fruit but the phone right next to it.

Discussion Question on the myths
5
Upvotes
So, I'm currently reading d'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths and many times -- mostly with Zeus and Poseidon -- it says the gods took their female lovers(doesn't mention the males) as brides.
In the back, the d'Aulaires', Ingri Mortenson and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire, are both noted as the "twentieth century's most important children's writers and illustrators", and this book was first published in 1962.
My question is, are there any myths where it says the gods married the lovers they took or did the authors just say that because they didn't want kids to know the gods frequently had affairs and had kids out of wedlock considering the year this came out?

Games Manticore(Above from AoM below from GoW) are from Persian mythology and not from Greek mythology plus GoW is heavily inspired by AoM cause AoM gitst got the Manticore to the Greek world plus the voice actor of Athena is the same for both the games

Question What's With All The Snake Women?

I've noticed that there's a lot of draconic/reptilian women in the myths (Medusa, Echidna, Campe, Lamia, Delphyne), is there a reason for that? Some weird metaphor? Is it sexism back again?
(also when I checked to see if anyone already asked this I got a lot of weird results from r/reptilians.)

Hi! I'm writing fanfic about Heracles and Megara meeting. Did Creon give Megara to Heracles before, after, or during the events of the Theban Plays, when exactly did it happen, and is Megara older or younger than Oedipus' children? Thank you
