I forget how many wives Zeus had...and don't ask me how many children he had!

 

Geez, Greek mythology's cool, but sometimes it's so weird! Women falling for cows, winds getting jealous of manly love, polygamy, drama, incest, being born from a god's tendon! What a sick imagination the Greeks had! I wonder how bored they were at that time.

thanks for putting that in sig Laura

Theseus and the Minotaur in a Nutshell: By Lhuna S. Sun

 

Once upon a time, in a faraway land called Greece, where it would always and has been the word, more specifically in a land called Crete, there was a king called Minos. Actually he wasn't the king yet. He fought over his brothers for the throne, and had prayed to Poseidon to send him a white bull to show that MINOS would become the king.

 

...A bull. Minos could ask for anything--fame, money, love, smartness, and he chose a bull. This story's starting to sound like what Minos asked for produces.

 

So, anyway, Minos became king, the old king died, long live the king, etc. VIVA Minos wanted to sacrifice the bull. But his wife didn't want to kill it because she fell in love with it. She loved it so much that she disguised herself as a cow and did the nasty with it. Minos must've be pretty ashamed, seeing as his wife cheated on him with a cow. BESTIALITY FTW

 

And he was even more ashamed when his queen gave birth to a monster. Half bull, half man, 100% creepy and hairy, the Minotaur wrecked havoc on Crete until he was locked up in a stone maze that Minos's main inventor man-dude-drinking-buddy Daedalus made. Every year, Minos ordered 7 boys and 7 girls from Athens as tribute for the Minotaur.

 

But I thought Minos hated the Minotaur...so why did he order 14 kids for him to eat every year? Apparently the Greeks loved plot holes, gore, and strange shippings back then.

 

Enter Theseus, our hero, who's actually a random traveller off the street. He wanted to journey into the labyrinth and kill the Minotaur. Ariadne, Minos's daughter, fell in love with him and wanted to help him.

 

Ariadne: Hi, I have just met you, and I love you! :heart:

Theseus: ...Okay...So how do I escape from the laby--

Ariadne: I'LL TELL YOU IF YOU MARRY ME

Theseus: But I've known you for five minutes!

Ariadne: :cry:

Theseus: Fine. I'll marry you.

Ariadne: Squee!

 

So Ariadne gave him a ball of string and told him to mark his path with it, so he can find his way back out. He found the Minotaur, killed it, and rescued the sacrifices. Then he and Ariadne sailed home together until Dionysus, god of nightclubs, alcohol, and partying 'til you're purple, fell in love with her and she married him instead.

 

I can tell Ariadne's relationships would last as long as her attention span.

 

Ariadne: Theseus who? :confused:

I've always disliked ancient Greek/Roman history for some reason. :(

It's not history, it's mythology! There's a difference--mythology involves fetishes for clouds, animals, and bipolar gods.

Well, I've never liked mythology either. :( I always thought it was boring. :P

I've loved it since I was a little kid! I enjoyed reading fantastical stories about things that could probably never happen in real life :D

 

But if you read the mythology with the fanciful wording, it might get kinda boring because you wouldn't understand half the stuff you're reading.

Yes, I did have to read the ones with all the fanciful words... I was supposed to, anyway. :wink:

Oh, I had to read the abridged Odyssey in class with the fanciful wording. I understood it all, especially the part where Circe and Odysseus..er...got together.

I had to take two years of antiquity, in 8th and 11th grade... we had to read the most boring stuff. Nothing was abridged.

Actually, I liked the Odyssey. What I read of it anyway. :P

It is a nice story, isn't it? Odysseus has such cool adventures when he's out at sea...

 

The movie was pretty funny, though, and didn't do the book justice.

Well, I've never liked mythology either. :( I always thought it was boring. :P

 

+1

I must be the only one who does. Ah well it makes me unique! :D

I'm better with literature and vocabulary. I'm known as Best in the grade, currently. :nice::blush:
