Mortals are hotter.

[-] danekrae@lemmy.world 69 points 1 day ago

They did everyone. Not just the women, but the men, animals and young boys too.

[-] Sir_Premiumhengst@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

They're fucking the dogs. They're fucking the cats.

They're fucking the pets!

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 4 points 20 hours ago

Because they had the high ground?

[-] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 37 points 1 day ago

Sounds like the Trump administration.

Heyoooooo

[-] SourDragon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Na. They're not attracted to anyone over the age of 13.

[-] bedwyr@piefed.ca 6 points 1 day ago

I am no expert but missed that part, I recall zeus himself taking the form of animals to bang mortal woman more than once, and Hera's vindictive changing into a fly was it, flying in a woman's ear, then going person again and exploding their head? I probably got that story wrong.

Did Zeus or his kids or brothers fuck actual animals themselves?

Not the Olympians that I know of. But Pasiphae was a goddess, daughter of Helios, who fucked the Cretan Bull and gave birth to the Minotaur.

[-] Embargo@lemmy.zip 36 points 1 day ago

Zeus pretending to be an injured swan in order to rape a lady is some of the wildest shit I've ever read.

[-] danekrae@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Didn't Perseidon also have sex with Medusa (maybe consensual, maybe not) in Athena's temple and Athena turned her into a gorgon?

Daedalus build a fake cow, so Pasiphaë (daughter of the god Helios) could position herself inside, in order to trick the Cretan Bull into mating with her. She later gave birth to Asterion, also called the Minotaur.

Didn’t Perseidon also have sex with Medusa (maybe consensual, maybe not) in Athena’s temple and Athena turned her into a gorgon?

In Ovid's version yes. It wasn't consensual either.

Daedalus build a fake cow, so Pasiphaë (daughter of the god Helios) could position herself inside, in order to trick the Cretan Bull into mating with her. She later gave birth to Asterion, also called the Minotaur.

This is another case of Poseidon strikes again.

Poseidon gave the bull as a gift to Minos the king of Crete, expecting him to sacrifice it. Minos instead likes the bull a lot and decides he wants to keep it, so he sacrifices another one. Poseidon in his anger causes his wife Pasiphaë who is indeed the daughter of Helios (or Sol) to fall in love with the bull. She willingly recruits Daedalus to build the fake cow for her so she could trick the bull into mating with her.

Poseidon is just as bad as Zeus. He chases Demeter who attempts to avoid him by transforming into a mare. Instead he turns into a stallion and rapes her.

OK, lets not pretend that the "goddesses" weren't little deviant degenerates themselves.

Immortality leads to boredom. Boredom leads to stupid decisions.

[-] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 1 points 15 hours ago

So does being a billionaire. Jk Rowling would have been happier in ancient Greek times, she could have fed her obsession with other people's private parts by contributing fics to the olympian lore instead of whatever the hell unhinged raging she's doing now.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago

I got bored and installed a bunch of shelves in my garage. It seems to have been a pretty good decision.

[-] 0ops@piefed.zip 9 points 1 day ago

Give it a few thousand years, eventually you'd fuck those shelves and spawn a race of shelf-men.

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 10 points 1 day ago

Yes, but are you an immortal god?

[-] Kyrrrr@mander.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Stupid decisions lead to fear. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

[-] ieightpi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I think it just comes down to ancient greeks were subconsciously kinky as fuck when they "Divined" these stories into existence

No it's all true and Zeus loves you!

[-] BigPotato@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Subconsciously? Nah, they were conscious of it.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

Today people are just monsterfuckers. Back then they wrote their fanfics about fucking the literal gods.

[-] ieightpi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I get it. Godly beings were probably perceived as smokin hot

[-] EonNShadow@pawb.social 1 points 17 hours ago

If Supergiant has anything to say about it

Yes

All of them

[-] CrimeIsLegalNow@ani.social 2 points 1 day ago

Consent didn't really enter the picture in a lot of the stories.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

It's always greener on the other side

[-] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Or the inside, as it were.

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

You might want to see a doctor about that.

[-] inari@piefed.zip 6 points 1 day ago

These gods sound a lot like regular people

[-] danekrae@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

That's one of the things that makes greek and norse mythology appealing IMO. They make mistakes like we do. They get horny, they fuck and they fuck up.

[-] RQG@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Makes them also more believable and causes less logical issues.

Once you make someone or something all knowing and all powerful things stop making any sense.

[-] bedwyr@piefed.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Especially so with the norse mythology, the gods are like people that have achieved magic and immortality. Too bad celtic and gaulic and germanic and the rest of the barbarian mythology has mostly been lost to history because they weren't given to letters. Which is the definition of a barbarian tribe according to some, if they wrote shit down.

[-] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Makes sense when you realize the Greek pantheon was basically all siblings and cousins of each other.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip -3 points 1 day ago

This seems like a goddess issue more than a god issue.
