Big Greek Mythology Fan

This is only serves to highlight the importance of International Perseus Butt Appreciation Day.

We must spread awareness of the hardship and censorship that Perseus' Butt still endures in this day and age.

Helen and Iphigenia. OK, bad joke, these aren't actual affairs at all, just obvious metaphors for "she is going to die" in the lines of Orestes and Agamemnon.

Hades is as inevitably swayed by love as his brother(Anth. Gr. 5.100; 9.440), so the ancient greeks may not have viewed Hades as particularly devoted to his wife as in modern opinions. However, his relationship with Persephone held undeniable significance in greek religion, forming the very foundation of the Eleusinian Mysteries. Homer and Hesiod, the OG of greek myth, didn't place any other women around him. Persephone/Kore consistently appears as his only divine companion in arts, literatures and religion. The epitaphs describing Hades as lover of the dead appear to be modeled after his relationship with Persephone. I have wrote a post about greek epitaphs.

I read Scylla's wiki page and found a version claiming that Scylla is the daughter of Apollo and Hecate, according to Hesiod. So, I checked the fragment, and it says:

ἐν δὲ ταῖς μεγάλαις Ἠοίαις Φόρβαντος καὶ Ἑκάτης ἡ Σκύλλα. In the Great Ehoiai, Scylla is the daughter of Phorbas and Hecate. (Hesiod, Fr. 200 ,Loeb)

Is Scylla a daughter of Apollo and Hecate? Maybe not.

But I've also been thinking about Odysseus and Penelope for Rocky and Adrian. I've seen people talk about the idea of Adrian being much bigger than Rocky and very beautiful for Eridians. So one would assume they'd have suitors while Rocky is away. And correct if I'm wrong, because I've only seen the movie and not read the book (yet), but I can assume they wait for Rocky to return instead of accepting those suitors.

So I just really like the idea of Penelope and Odysseus Adrian and Rocky. Adrian waiting years for their mate to return, unsure if he's even still alive, and Rocky doing everything he can to get home.
