Document Summary
We covered about five topics: we finished our exclusive focus on the greek gods and began to transition to tales of the human heroes. Party we relied on the buxton textbook"s good transitional chapter, honour and. The boundaries between gods and humans: buxton pp. Homosexuality in greek myth and ancient greek real life: pp. Why all the sex and sexual violence: the sex generally. Facts: there is a substantial amount of sex in the greek myths, often involving the gods, and not just. Zeus in particular has relations with goddesses (his sister. ), and with a catalogue of young human women (danae, alkmene, leda, etc. ). Regarding the human women, the sex is not consensual. Zeus is both figuratively and literally the father of gods and men . Explanation: again from the storytelling viewpoint, this detail may be necessary to help explain the creation of a generation of human heroes on earth.
