Hercules
Wouldn't it be bizarre if your dad was the God? Or if a centaur, Nessus, tried to rape your wife? I guess you better be at least a demi-god.
A section I found interesting is, when Hercules has crossed the river Evenus and catches Nessus about to the dirty, Hercules says, "To what unhappy end will that misplaced self-confidence of yours to betray you, rapist?--Yes i mean you, double-dealing Nessus! Listen, don't interfere with what is mine--if not for the respect you ought to show me, then for the memory of Ixion, your father, who lies bound upon a wheel for all eternity--the price he paid for his attempting a FORBIDDEN RAPE."
Does this mean in our ancestors believed that there is a rape that exists that is allowed by not only the gods but humankind themselves, if and only if there is a forbidden type of rape, does an allowed rape exist?
Seems somewhat strange, but obviously Zues-Jupiter-Jove has his way with anyone.
