It's actually surprising that Zeus doesn't really get involved in Jason and Medea's story because Hera called super dibs and stayed out of her way.

[@wildcardjoey4776]

To answer the question of if Zeus was equally a creep to men, look no further than the myth behind the constelation Aquarius

[@luafreire1026]

Fun fact: There's at least two versions where Medea doesn't kill her children, one where she turns them into birds so they'll survive and another where the citizens of the kingdom killed them, so Medea turns them into birds in their dying moments. So that's neat.

Gaia: here to remind you that Nature is MUTHA

[@vigilantsycamore8750]

Fun fact about Typhon: there's one account which says that, during his rampage, Typhon also tried to fight Selene, the goddess of the moon. Selene *won*. Didn't even get destringed like Zeus did, though she did apparently get some cool battle scars out of it

Its probably a Mycenaean story written down centuries later. Homer was recorded 400+ years after the Trojan war and some of the elements in the Argonautica make it sound VERY archaic. The Argo is the first bireme, Hercules uses a wooden club and nobody thinks it's weird, the golden fleece is an actual technique for trapping gold dust in the rivers of the Caucasus mountains. There is even a theory the story is even more ancient than that , where in the warm climate after the ice age the rivers of Ukraine are vast glacial meltwater runoffs and jason sails from Thessaly to goddamn AFGHANISTAN and Medea is a Proto-Indo-European with medical/alchemy knowledge unknown in stone age greece.

On the Zeus mostly keeping to the girls front…mostly. It’s never explicitly stated in any of the primary sources, but it is commonly presumed that his cupbearer, Ganymede, was also likely another of his lovers. Despite being portrayed as, well, a CHILD. Which would fit neatly into a Greek cultural concept that was normalized in period but is objectively horrific to anyone else.

[@Gore1704]

IIRC, there's actually another version of the story where she didn't kill the kids, and it was the people of this city/kingdom that did and that the "Medea killed the kids" is the version of the story said city-kingdom told.

Hera and Zeus agree on something! What delusional fever dream fanfic is this?

[@Dostoron]

What the myth doesn't mention, the prow of the Argo depicted Hera, the lady personally stomped him out.

[@utlukka950]

I think the reason Medea killed her sons, other than hurting Jason, was because they were accomplices in murdering a Greek royal and they were not born as Greece citizen. They only got Greece citizenship because of Jason's relationship with the princess.

Fun Fact Typhon's head was said to "brush the stars" as he walked so yea Kaiju is an adaqute description of the Big Boi. He also depending on the version he has 50 snake heads that constantly made random noises on his shoulders.

I think you’d really enjoy a new adaptation of the Odyssey being made into a modern musical called Epic: The Musical.

[@CommissarMitch]

Is Typhon moreally less dubious than Zeus?

[@Charvale]

Here is an interesting prospect for a "What if-?" scenario;
