    Tbh selling a Disney movie with a mythology-accurate Zeus would be pretty difficult (Zeus was a serial rapist).

    Disney movies are obviously the best source of accurate portrayals of historical events/myths.

    For example: Hamlet was a lion named Simba.

        Why swedish? Wasn’t Hamlet set in Denmark? Written by some English bloke so original is in English anyway.

    Even if we ignore the fact that Zeus was a serial cheater and r*per, isn’t Ares he and Hera’s son?

          Didn’t stop him from cucking his brother Hephaestus. This message is brought to you by the Athenian propaganda department, you can’t dispute us cause few Spartan sources survived.

    What’s funny is only half remembering the stories of the movie and the myth. I remember asking my wife about the movie, “didn’t they give him a potion to make him immortal? Because he was a demigod?” But in the movie Pain and Panic give him a potion to make him mortal.

    Besides it being easier to list the sons Zeus didn’t produce, it would be easier to list the animals Zeus didn’t take the form of two seduce women.

    Thinking about that, women in ancient Greece must have been very easy to seduce.

        Hmm, yes, maybe. But to be honest, they were probably just trying to hide affairs and not really shagging Zeus. But don’t quote me on this!

          Male gods raping mortal woman was canon.

          As in, nearly every Greek myth with a male god and a mortal woman featured rape. They weren’t coy about it.

            Rape or attempted rape. There was the whole Io(?) situation where Zeus was thwarted by Io running away and Hera being done with his shit.

          Not being able to tell the difference between grass and thistles only goes to show how much you need to spend more time outside.

      I speak here as a man - you obviously have not met many people outside of your field of specialization; else you’d realize that there innumerable people who are genuinely dumb as fucking rocks with regards to your field, and convinced that they’re right and you’re wrong.

        As the parent comment is deleted, I have no clue what this is all about. But I just wanted to chime in that, yes, there are people so incredibly stupid, it physically hurts to listen to them.
