Nah, Zues was just a horn-dog. In almost every story about him, Zues is trying to bed some beutiful (but usually unwilling) Greek maid. Hera was the real PITA. She would punish the poor girls when she could find them, no matter how much they didn't want to be, er, "graced" by Zues' presence.

Personnally, I'm partial to the story of Aphrodite and Hesphaeteus, but then I'm a miserable romantic.

Wasn't that the one where she got caught banging Ares, and they got suspended in that big net so all the other gods could laugh at them, until Poseidon took pity on them and let them out?
That one always makes me laugh, because you can just picture it.
"Guys? Hey, this isn't funny any more!"

Heh, she was banging anything that moved.... Leaving her lame, ugly husband at home to mind the forge.... Oh, and she could bathe in the sea and regrow her hymen.

I've always wondered about that. Doesn't it hurt when that fellow breaks? What was in it for her?

Ah remember these were written by men, in a time where they dominated the world pretty much. Apparently having that fellow there makes it feel better.

Any chaps got opinions either way on this? Got me curious now.

I don't know that it was necessarily a sensation thing, I think more it was proof that you weren't getting someone else's second hand goods, so to speak. I know that in older times, and even in some places in the world now, that the blood stained bedsheet after a marriage is consummated is passed around as a badge of honor.

No, the one later where he makes the flower for her on his forge...but the net one is a good lesson for infidelity.


On the blood on the sheet issue, in some cultures the marriage was not considered final until the consumation. The sheet proved that the couple were well and truly married.
