Yeah, seems like mortals getting involved with the gods always ends up with badly. Plato hated this shit for a good reason lol

It's rape porn. The average Greek man 2500 years ago would've listened to the old stories with a raging hard on. They'd have to keep the women separate because after three Zeus bull stories all the dudes in the room would be looking for a fourth grade class or servants quarters to ravage.

the Greeks of those days didn't even know what those myths meant
hence why they turned them into whatever their imagination led them

I read somewhere that myths were a way of explaining things people forgot the original meanings off but I can't figure out what zeus fucking women as a bull/swan signifies.

The gods have the same attitude as hackers in online multiplayer video games. Everything makes a lot more sense with this equivalence in mind.
