procrastination!

I don't think any one person could have given Zeus everything he wanted - he was just too addicted to sex in every way, shape and form (literally). I mean there's no way any woman could have done for him what Ganymede did, if you catch my meaning.

Yeah... then Hera and her little Queen of the hive complex. (I held back saying a rude word.)

Hahaha. Zeus is like the uber-pimp of mythology. No wonder Hera was so bitter.

Could you imangine the arguements between Hera and her stepchilderen.

Hera: Now Apollo I want you to take that tree out of this place now.

Apollo: You're not my mother!

(Brownie points for one who guesses the tree joke.)

Those people seriously belong on Jerry Springer.

Jerry: "Up next, we're going to feature a wife who says she's tired of her husband's cheating ways and wants to confront him. The catch? She's his sister."

Audience: "Oooooooohhhhhhhh."

Jerry: "We'll be right back."

I can just see it when they bring out Kronos and he and Zeus start chucking chairs at each other.

They were like the Sorpranos of that time. Way to many problems. The Egyptians weren't any better.

Are we talking the Egyptian gods, or the Egyptian monarchs? Because I don't really know much the gods (and what I do know I've forgotten), but the monarchs I do know a bit about. Even then they're all Greek though, which just makes the poor Greeks look even worse.

Seriously people, STOP MARRYING YOUR SISTERS.

By the way, I don't get the tree reference. Are you talking about Cyparissus and the cypress tree?

The tree!! That sounds so familiar. Wasn't someone chasing after Apollo, or someone was chasing someone? Gah! I can't remember. I'm probably just making crap up.

Apollo was in love with a nymph (forgot her name) and she refused his advances so she made a deal with her father, and she turned into a tree. In my mind Apollo was probably still in love with her that he cut her down and took her to Olympus.

Yeah, and anyway yed i am talking about the Egyptian Gods. I mean a brother kills another, wife has kid, kid hunts down evil uncle and wife puts husband back together since he was hacked up into many peices.

Sounds like Hamlet, except nobody got put together at the end of that story.

Come to think of it, do all cultures' famous stories revolve around disfunctional families? It seems like no matter where you look everybody's sleeping with everybody except with whom they're supposed to.

In the Greek and Roman myths ther gods were something to be feared. They were supposed to be shown that they had problems and could get away with it. When Zeus had affairs Hera did not attack him, but the women.

Isn't that the story of Osiris...and the Lion King more or less?

Good job! yes that was the story of Osiris.
