D'oh!
I am in the book fortress right now. Tomorrow morning I will take a mythology exam, so I am reading up on the Trojan War and the roles of women in classic myth. For the most part, women got jerked around in classic mythology. They would die, get abandoned, turned into animals, stuff like that. The goddesses didn't get much respect, either; the most powerful goddess, Hera, is continually written as being a nagging bitch of a wife to Zeus. Aw, but you can't hate that guy. Zeus, God of gods, the big lord of the heavens, is a leacherous buffoon. He's a Homer Simpson, a Dean Martin, a big lovable bumbler of divine mischief. You never know what that crazy Zeus is gonna do next! Whoop, he just turned into a swan to seduce the girl next door! And he succeeded! Sometimes I wonder what Christianity would be like with an almighty like ol' Jupiter: "...And thus the Lord snuck out of his palace at night, and went to his mortal mistress's house, and they got completely wasted on wine, and they slept together. And the Lord's nagging wife threw a pot at him upon his return the next day..."
