Funny Greek Myths Novels & Stories

“You think that’s fucked up? Zeus married our sister Hera and had an affair with Demeter our other sister.” “Greeks believe you abducted your niece and forcefully made her your wife. That’s also fucked up buddy.” “First of all, don’t call me buddy, and second, that’s not true. Why the hell would I take my niece as a wife when there’re so many women here to serve my needs? I don’t need to be shackled down. I enjoy my bachelor life as it is” I sighed. “Fine, let’s skip the whole weird marriage thing. I didn’t hear you mention Agron in the list of Cronus and Rhea’s kids. I thought he was your brother.”

The class erupts in laughter. "Hardly." He turns and writes Gilgamesh. "Here, we have the earliest recording in the written word of a werewolf. Gilgamesh spurned a lover because she had turned her mate into a wolf. Though some argue that werewolves are more ancient than 2,800 BC That of Greek mythology with the Legend of Lycaon." I squirm in my chair, itching to open the textbook and take a peek. Greek myths had fascinated me last year, but I didn't recall this story.

Alcmene’s voice fades into an echo as I try to understand what she is saying. “I don’t understand. Do you mean Zeus? THE Zeus, the Greek god who lives on top of a mountain? Thunderbolts and all that? No way. That’s not possible, those are just stories.” I send up a silent prayer to the goddess that this is some kind of initiation hoax played on everyone by their wolf. Alcmene scoffs and slows her pace to a walk.

I want a unicorn. *Silence* "What!?" Unicorn!? (What the fuck? Unicorn? Are you damm serious, woman!?) (But it's what I wanted! Isn't this a survey? Why are you complaining? I love unicorns and Pegasus. What's wrong with that?) Even a freaking Pegasus!? God, this is all Greek Mythology's fault. Those fictions are making her believe in non-existing shits! Well, Hades and Persephone are the exceptions.

Mind out of the gutter. "What did he say?" he asked, trying to sound nonchalant. I scoffed,"The historians believed that Galerians are a result of a union between an Alerian and a god named Zeus." It was Derek's turn to scoff. "What? They inculcated Greek Mythology into it? That's preposterous!" "I couldn't imagine the purebloods version," an absurd idea struck me. "Maybe your version involves leprechauns and unicorns," I said, chuckling.

Honestly, none of this is going to plan, so it could go either way. Anyway… what’s so funny is that this is where the proverbial pen is mightier than the actual sword. If there’s one thing I learned from all the tales about Greek mythology I read while I was bedridden, it’s that Ares hates to be ridiculed. He’s a hothead and easily goaded. I don’t think he’s all that smart either. Just strong and fearless... Is being dumb the same as being fearless? I don’t know. Something to think about if I survive this, I guess?

he replied to me. Why does it sound so...Greek? These are the monsters in Greek mythology. More so, they are called titans but here, they are called demons. Who would think that these are true in the human world? If I hadn't stumbled upon Wysteria, I probably wouldn't have believed them to be true to this day. After all, Greek mythology is not real. They are just stories from their Greek ancestors. "It doesn't look like the monsters are easy to attack," I commented because even though I couldn't see the others, just thinking that there were many minotaurs and serpentines that I was sure was a big snake scared me.

It was our second anniversary, a time when things were simpler. — From what I read, the legend is about a king of Ancient Greece, Lycaon, who always killed those who stayed in his palace... one night, Zeus disguised himself as an old man, and asked the king for shelter, who somehow discovered that he was Zeus, so as a form of blasphemy and mockery, he served human flesh to the God of Olympus, who cursed him to become a monster, a wolf.

He looked like he was having a hard time reminiscing about its history. Aphrodite came to the rescue, "Right! Most of us have been friends since then. We grew up in slums, doing different jobs in order to survive and fulfill the needs of our rumbling stomachs. Me, being the face of cybersex, Dionysus... who used to rob the general's main house, Hermes and Ares as the known thieves in town, and then there's Zeus who abducted people for ransom... Athena who was once a stripper, Apollo as a drug addict..." My widening eyes went to Apollo. He smiled as he waved at me. "And Poseidon... the sex slave." What...

I couldn't help but smile at the innocent curiosity that shown on his perfectly sculpted face. "It's nothing. If you belive Greek Mythology, Zeus was kind of a horn dog. Sounds like he wanted to feel, but it wasn't feelings." I giggled a little bit, but stopped when I saw the look of irritation on Amphitrion's face. "You shouldn't believe everything you read. Zeus may have been a - horn dog - but he wanted to connect with someone I think. It wasn't easy being the King of the Gods."
