In one of my friends' Latin class there was a story they read all about a slave-girl "pleasing" various Romans. Two soldiers killed each other over her.

Nope, sorry!

Adonis: (From Greek Mythology) His mother (A princess) fell in love with her own father. When her mother left, she snuck into his room in the dark and pretended that she was a slave-girl who fell in love with the king. Well, after about three months of this (God, this guy really was stupid) he found out it was his daughter. This was prohibited by Greek law AND religion, so he tried to kill her. She fled into the woods with an unborn child. She prayed to the Gods to "get rid of her" because she polluted the souls on earth, but not to kill her because she would pollute the souls of the underworld too and that her punishment not harm her child. She was then turned into a tree by Gaia (mother earth) and this "tree" gave birth to Adonis.

(Told you it was kinda gross.)

Anyway, Aphrodite (Goddess of love, beauty and sex) found him but didn't want him, so she gave him to Persephone. (queen of the underworld) Years later she saw Persephone in the Spring and saw that she had the most handsome man she'd ever seen with her. They fought over him and Zeus finally got angry and told them they could each have him for half a year. Adnis loved to hunt and killed off a lot of the animals. When it was time for him to go to Persephone, Aphrodite tricked him into staying longer. Aphrodite's usual lover was Ares (God of war and anger) and he was pretty pissed off by this. Persephone went to him and told him about Adonis so he turned himself into a bull and gored the guy. (Some sources say Artemis was the one who actualy killed him) Aphrodite was so heartbroken the she turned his drops of blood into red flowers which bloom beautifully, but die quickly.

Yeah, I've read about that too.

Holy crap! I'mm the nerd of ancient Greek mythology!

Oh well, who give's a damn? *Eats a cookie*

>...<

That was off hand?

Bah. Adonis' story is not nearly as interesting as Zeus' romantic affairs. Which were awesome.

You kidding me? Read Gandhi's My Experiments with Truth. He screws seven ladies throughtout it's course. Melts the mind.

Gandhi?! I gotta look into this "pacifism" thing....

Satyagraha. Seperate thing.

I've every Greek mythology book in the library.

When I was in fourth grade.

... so you're saying the pacifism won't work on the ladies?

I used to be big on that. Most of it left my head, though.

*cough* I would pray for the axe effect for that.

Seriously, read the book. His ashram transmorphs into playboy mansion for whole chapters. If that doesn't shock you, nothing can. Brutally truthful, as always.

Zeus apparently had a wife in each area of Greece.

Yeah I've heard about that.

Well, the guy kept in touch with his country, at any rate.

He got to know his subjects.
