Sex can be said to be the catalyst of history and the shenanigans of the deities of Ancient Greece, and the mere mortals they played with, were no exception. They were the original swingers!
This post stems from a recent conversation between the Bard and I - we don't just talk about whose turn it is to do the ironing you know! So, if you were to liken yourself to a character from Ionian mythology, who would you be? Here's a short list to get you thinking (the Roman equivalent where there is one is in brackets; I know, I know, pedantic or what?).
Adonis - the Brad Pitt lookalike and young single male, beloved of Aphrodite and Persephone.
Aeolus - God of the winds and eternal muncher - he feasted continually on his island.
Aesculapius - The god of medicine and healing. Socrates said on his deathbed that he 'owed a cock to Aesculapius'.
Aphrodite (Venus) - Goddess of sexual love, but also of affection; a BBW who loved to share.
Apollo (Phoebus) - God of poetry and music - he had affairs with Coronis, Daphne and Cassandra.
Ares (Mars) - God of war who had an illicit affair with Aphrodite who was married to Hephaestus at the time. (Don't tell Archangel, he won't approve.)
Argus - the many eyed monster. Good for gangbangs and bukkake parties.
Artemis (Diana) - The virgin huntress; perhaps a contradiction in terms on SH, though as a predatory woman she'd have fun among the single males!
Cassandra - a prophetess doomed by Apollo never to be believed, she ended up as Agammenon's slave. (Agammenon could be very dom at times.)
Centaur - Half man, half horse, they were known for their lust and drinking.
Cyclops - the original one-eyed monster!
Demeter (Ceres) - The godess of fruitfulness (wink, wink, say no more squire!).
Dionysus (Bacchus) - A fertility god, particularly of wine, a freer of emotions and remover of inhibitions.
Eos (Aurora). Goddess of the dawn, she had many lovers - including Orion the giant. (Giant what?)
The Erymanthian Boar - no not Gman (sorry), but this one did have to be bound with chains.
The Eumenides - otherwise known as the Furies, three ladies with attitude. Imagine them at a greedy girls' night.
Europa - Was given the first articial sex aid, the bronze man Talus, and then was taken by Zeus disguised as a bull. Yep, Europa got it on with a bull.
Hebe (Juventas) - the first YSL (young single female)
Hera (Juno) - Protectress of the home - and the jealous wife of philandering Zeus.
Hercules (Heracles) - The son of Zeus and ancient history's strong man, though Hera couldn't stand him.
Hermes (Mercury) - A precocious young man with light-fingered tendencies and the messenger of the gods.
Pan (Faunus) - Half man, half goat, he was the god of flocks and the rural scene. In modern day parlance, perhaps the god of dogging in rural laybys? What the flock?
Poseidon (Neptune) - God of earthquakes and the sea. Did the earth move for you? Also the god of horses and probably hung like a stallion too.
Zeus (Jupiter) - the supreme deity and the daddy of them all; promiscuous and fond of adopting various disguises to get his end away - see Europa for details!
This could be an interesting party theme too!
