greek mythology is some weird-ass shit
“that bitch didn’t sacrifice that bull,” poseidon said as he stared down at crete with a frown on his face, “i’ll make his wife want its dick and give birth to a monster that eats children”
“wow check out this hottie” zeus mused to the rest of the gods, “what if… and stay with me here guys, what if… i turned into a swan… and fucked her”
round of applause
“shit” zeus muttered under his breath as he stared down at the fleshy remains of semele, burnt upon seeing his true form “holy shit, hera, for fuck’s sake, why do I even listen to you, woman—”
“shhh just take the fetus and sew it onto your thigh,” hera encouraged him, “he will grow into a fine demi-god and we shall name dionysus”
“sounds legit” zeus shrugged, gluing the half-formed baby to his thigh using a heat gun

PERSEUS was one of the most celebrated of the Greek heroes.
His story was as follows: Perseus’ mother Danae was locked in a bronze chamber by her father Akrisios, where she was impregnated by Zeus in the form of a golden shower. Akrisios put both mother and child in a chest and set them adrift in the sea, but they washed safely ashore on the island of Seriphos.
Later when Perseus was grown, King Polydektes, command he bring back the head of Medousa. With the help of the gods, Perseus first obtained an invisible helm, magical sword, and winged sandals. He then stole the single eye of the Graiai, three ancient hags, who told him where to find the Gorgones. The hero approached the sleeping Medousa, and beheaded her with eyes turned away, to avoid her petrifying visage.
On his way back to Greece, he spied the princess Andromeda chained to the rocks as a sacrifice to a sea-monster. Perseus slew the monster, and rescued the girl, bringing her back to Greece as his bride. On Seriphos, he turned King Polydektes to stone, then travelled to his grandfather’s kingdom to claim the throne. The old man fled, and was later accidentally killed by Perseus at some Games with an awry discus throw.
