I thought so too when I saw the just the movie previews but I decided to give the books a chance and the author actually clears up a lot of the inconsistencies (ie how Athena could possibly have children, she's still a virgin goddess in the stories but her children are kind of like a brain child...

Apollo and Artemis are hands down my favorite. Artemis is just so overlooked I think and to me she's one of the most unique goddesses of them all.

Whoops posted in the wrong thread, feel free to delete

Eros and Psyche hands down. Then again I also love Hades and Persephone, Ares and Aphrodite (all the love stories really) Artemis and Acteon etc. etc. I could go on and on lol

Ooh God yes! All of the Athena descriptions in The Iliad are goosebump inducing amazing aren't they?

I agree, he's just wonderful!

Lol I'm the same way with my Mom, she's sick of hearing about it all too

Both stories are wonderful of course but I kind of prefer The Iliad just for the insanely epic battles, Athena and Ares being my top favorite. I just like all the involvement of the Olympians in The Iliad; however, in The Odyssey I like how we get stories such as Ares and Aphrodite's affair etc.

~Sigh~ Oh Cupid, he is to us girls what Aphrodite is to men, the absolute ideal <3

Hmm, I looked him up and he's listed as an assistant director

I haven't seen any of his movies yet, though I've been meaning to see Benjamin Button. It's good to know it's in good hands though =)

I googled mythology forums

I was bullied horribly in middle school, this was in the 90's. I would have half a class ganging up on me, I had spit wads spit at me, more than once when it was found out I liked a boy in class I never heard the end of it and had endless streams of people telling me how ugly I was, how no guy...

Anyone else absolutely STOKED for this to come out? The cast looks absolutely brilliant, I cannot wait: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1253864/

Oooh the new Clash remake was atrocious! It was basically Christianized (no offense) mythology with poor Hades being pegged the bad guy as he always inaccurately is and figures from Greek mythology are put in there and made to be someone else, characters who are supposed to be close are...

I know I've read it elsewhere but I can't exactly remember where, but this site here: http://www.greek-islands.us/greek-gods/zeus/ says that "Zeus was the sixth child born to Cronus and Rhea and his power, although great, was not boundless, Zeus had no control over the fates and destiny." Which...

I am SO excited I've found a mythology forum! My name is Lori and I'm 28 and from Washington State, I took a Greek mythology class in high school (about 1999) and I've been hooked ever since. I have hardly anyone to really talk mythology with, especially anyone as passionate about it as I am...
