Yeaaaaah not buying it. Even if we ignore the DNA thing they are acknowledged as a family and it feels fucked up for a man to fuck what is he considers a daughter and vice versa for a women doing that to someone she considers a son.
That's fair. Even if that is accepted, some of the things done are still fucked up, no matter what way you slice it. I ain't about to defend that.
That can easily be corrupted nowadays as he him pissing on her and getting her pregnant
But yeah if he was originally just transforming into an animal only to go back to a more human form than that takes away any degenerate points.
It can. It was never presented as such, but given how certain folks can be in modern times, I wouldn't put it past them.
Again, as I said, depends on who you read. You had poets in both camps. What can be said there though, is that one side is definitely less degenerate in their thinking of Zeus then the other.
I think it depends on how old many of the things we see in Greek myths are since due to their nature of being passed down orally throughout history their original versions may have been far different than how we see them today. Also on how long the Hebrews themselves lived to talk about their own beliefs since many of theirs were less inspired by Greek myths and more incorporated many of their words and names as a way to make more sense to the dominate Greek populace that lived in their time. Things like the testament of Solomon and Book of Enoch were written around the time of the Hellenistic age so they would have had a lot more Greeks living in their land and many of which would have even grown up reading and speaking Greek so a lot of things that seem familiar could have either been because they needed to make sense to a people unfamiliar to the Jewish faith hence the mention of "tartarus" and "sirens" which could mean a general term for the underworld and evil female monsters rather than outright referencing Greek Myths. For all we know their could have been things in Greek myths that were inspired by some things in Hebrew beliefs, since we know the Ptolemies made a Greek play on the Exodus that was popular enough to cause seething among the native Egyptian populace as to have them make their own plays mocking it for making them look bad.
Greek Myth, in some form that could be recognized, existed hundreds of years before the earliest mentions of Yahweh being the supreme god in the jewish faith, so its hard to say. Additionally, all european myths, including that of the hebrew, have their roots in ancient indo-european mythology that is sadly lost to time, but we know existed long,
long ago. It is also likely that many of them got it from the same ancestors or something. We'll never fully know, but that's the leading theory at the minute. Could be right or wrong.
As for the Exodus, given that we know such an event never actually occurred in real life, I'd say its understandable why the egyptians would've been quite upset with the play, and sought to mock it.
So like so many things with "Greeks and Homos" we may have gotten a skewered version of it that was corrupted by later Roman sources to make them look bad?
Oh, we absolutely did. Not even just by Romans, as they didn't play as strong of a part in that one, but rather from so-called 'experts' in more modern times, who botched their translation(whether intentionally or not) which led to their seeming to be much more gay shit then there actually was in the mythos/religion of Hellenism.
