Favourite myth, or rendition of a myth?
Aleister Crowley's version of the Orpheus myth is hard to beat.

Could anyone make a chart of this?

Does anyone here recall the name of a text where, allegedly, iirc, Cassandra I believe was either talking or overheard a priest talking about myths within the context of the Trojan war? It's a poor description on my part so sorry for being so vague but apparently it's considered one of the most esoteric and strange narratives of Greek mythology ever written, I'd be interesting in reading it some day.

You forgot the Dune novels.

>>25196736
Well maybe not a faggot but certainly a retard. Camus explicated the myth in a seminal work on existentialism. Great stuff.

ok retards give at least two sentences instead of dropping a name

>The speaker is a slave appointed to watch Cassandra and report her prophecies. He addresses Priam.

>ALL will I tell truly that thou askest from the utter beginning, and if the tale be prolonged, forgive me, master. For not quietly as of old did the maiden loose the varied voice of her oracles, but poured forth a weird confused cry, and uttered wild words from her bay-chewing mouth, imitating the speech of the dark Sphinx. Thereof what in heart and memory I hold, hear thou, O King, and, pondering with wise mind, wind and pursue the obscure paths of her riddles, whereso a clear track guides by a straight way through things wrapped in darkness. And I, cutting the utter bounding thread, will trace her paths of devious speech, striking the starting-point like winged runner.

The one where the muses have a rap battle in Metamorphoses

>>25205498
Is this the origin of the "Grandma starts raping faster than the speed of Mercury" trope?

>>25205627
No, just in reference to a specific translation I read where the translator decided to make it sound like a lame slightly rhyming rap battle in an otherwise thoroughly serious translation.

>>25196732
yes this one is quite cool

I have yet to be persuaded that they aren't all or almost all shit. Look at that image. Not sure what it's referring to but it's typical of Greek myths. Some god who is in charge of a bunch of unrelated things. There's no symbolism or continuity there. They just kept adding stuff as it came up seemingly randomly. Then some story built around that already shitty framework. It's rarely ever profound or conveys some timeless idea.

Based. I also dont want to have female figures (ie Venus and all Venus worshippers like the entertainment business in the USA) acting like they can be spokespersons of the twin gods in your pic related.
