The story about Prometheus is also a great one. 

The gods wanted to keep fire for themselves, but Prometheus stole it and gave it to the people. To punish him Zeus bound him on a rock and every single day an eagle would come to eat his liver, which would grow back afterwards.

There are different versions but I prefer the one where he doesn't escape and is tortured for all eternity.

There was one story where Narcissus stabbed himself, but I like him better when he drowned.

Hera was something else.  I liked that story about the girl who turned into a spider.  It was also sad.  Mythology is kind of sad.  Her name was Arachne.

Old gods are twisted, but they tell good stories.

 

@Edvard I'd love to hear Norse mythology. I don't know it.  I vaguely have a concept of Loki, and less of one of Odin.

I know! Poor Prometheus.  Atlas too, he really got screwed.  I would give him a back massage if I ever met him.  Because sympathy.  Really though, how twisted.

 Haha, didn't he trick Hercules into holding the earth for him only to be tricked back into holding it himself again?

I find the story of Medusa interesting.

What about Medea, Thrill?  Medea was legitimately fucked.

 I once saw a great drawing of Medusa looking in a mirror with a tear rolling down her face.

 I've never read the story of Medea. I'll check that out. Not tonight though. I'm off to bed very shortly.

It's really twisted.  Sweet dreams.

 LOL Greek mythology now - I;m beginning to like this forum more than I care to admit. I'm a bit rusty on this subject but I've always had a soft spot for that poor bastard Sisyphus - destined to push the same stone up the same hill for eternity. If only he'd open his eyes. LOL
