Once upon a time, there was a hole with no dick in it
AND THEN ALONG CAME ZEUS
He HUUURRLED his thundabolt
Rejoice mortal! For I have decreed that we shall bang!
Disney movies are obviously the best source of accurate portrayals of historical events/myths.
For example: Hamlet was a lion named Simba.
who were timon and pumba in the original swedish?
Why swedish? Wasn't Hamlet set in Denmark? Written by some English bloke so original is in English anyway.
if someone's gonna make fun of the danes i expect them to be swedish, german or norwegian
Zeus is the guy that fucks everything with legs, no?
~~legs~~ hole
Legs optional, probably
Tbh selling a Disney movie with a mythology-accurate Zeus would be pretty difficult (Zeus was a serial rapist).
In all earnestness? Or with the greatest driest sense of humor since Norm Macdonald?
In all earnestness is frighteningly common for people who don't have the first clue what they're talking about.
Even if we ignore the fact that Zeus was a serial cheater and r*per, isn't Ares he and Hera's son?
That would make him a God.
Ares is a god.
Didn't stop him from cucking his brother Hephaestus. This message is brought to you by the Athenian propaganda department, you can't dispute us cause few Spartan sources survived.
So?
Round my way the only response would be "awww bless your heart."
Besides it being easier to list the sons Zeus didn't produce, it would be easier to list the animals Zeus didn't take the form of two seduce women.
Thinking about that, women in ancient Greece must have been very easy to seduce.
~~Seduce~~ Rape.
*FTFY
Hmm, yes, maybe. But to be honest, they were probably just trying to hide affairs and not really shagging Zeus. But don't quote me on this!
Male gods raping mortal woman was canon.
As in, nearly every Greek myth with a male god and a mortal woman featured rape. They weren't coy about it.
Rape or attempted rape. There was the whole Io(?) situation where Zeus was thwarted by Io running away and Hera being done with his shit.
What's funny is only half remembering the stories of the movie and the myth. I remember asking my wife about the movie, "didn't they give him a potion to make him immortal? Because he was a demigod?" But in the movie Pain and Panic give him a potion to make him mortal.
Yes, but how many of them will go the distance?
I'm just waiting for the 'not all men' crew to show up. They should be here in an hour or two.
What a strange comment. This was about a particularly stupid person, and your immediate assumption is that its about men. Get offline sometimes
No! You can't make me touch grass! Last time I did I got a thistle in my hand!
Not being able to tell the difference between grass and thistles only goes to show how much you need to spend more time outside.
