Oh SWEET! MYTHOLOGY! I know one. The story of Zeus. Zeus was the ninth of nine children. His mother and father were Hera(A Goddess) and Kronos(A Titan). Now before Hera's first child was born, Kronos went to go see an oracle. The oracle told Kronos that one of his children would overthrow him. So, in order to prevent this, Kronos began to eat every child that Hera gave birth to. So eventually Hera got tired of this. When the ninth child, Zeus, was born, she replaced his body with that of a rock and then hid him from Kronos. Kronos then ate the rock believing that it was Zeus(Apparently it looked just like him lol). After this, Hera secretly hid the boy inside of Gaia(The planet itself and also Hera's mother) until he grew into a man. When this happened, Zeus then challenged Kronos and all of the other titans. The following war wiped out just about all of humanity. But, in the end, Zeus won and banished all of the Titans. He then married Hera and became king of the gods. Apparently incest didn't exist then. I hope I got all of the detail right. |
