Brynlee's Thoughts on Mythology and Folklore

For the main ideas, I want it to be fun. There are centuries worth of stories between the gods and this would be a fun way to explain the goddesses thoughts and points of views. I do not have an overarching theme. 1. Aphrodite      This will be a tale about her love triangle. It is very drama filled. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hephaestus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_(mythology) 2. Hera      This will be a tale about her anger towards all of Zeus's mistresses. He was never faithful and that made her look bad so she would strike out against the girls. I think that it would be set in a way that the other goddess's are doing an intervention type of scenario. https://www.theoi.com/Olympios/Hera.html https://www.theoi.com/Olympios/Zeus.html 3. Persephone     There are many sides to this story. I want the main story to be through her and how she feels about her mother agreeing to her half a year in hell (literally). https://en.wikipedia.org...

The Real Goddesses of Ancient Greece  1. Aphrodite v Ares v Hephaestus This is a messy love triangle. Aphrodite is married to Hephaestus, but is in love or in lust with Ares. This causes the other gods to make fun of Hephaestus because he can't keep his wife entertained long enough for her not to cheat. I was thinking this would be a good dinner story. Aphrodite throws a dinner party for the 12 gods of Olympus. This leads to lots of poking and making jokes at Hephaestus, until it all blows up.  https://www.infoplease.com/culture-entertainment/mythology-folklore/classical-mythology-threes-crowd-olympian-love-triangle https://exploringyourmind.com/the-myth-of-aphrodite-and-ares/ 2. Hera v Everyone  Hera, unfortunately, picked the wrong husband. Zeus was consistently unfaithful to her. Because of who he was, however, she was not allowed to punish him. This means she took it out on everyone else, especially the girls of his infidelities. I think this story would be a good one...

 1. My first thought is Greek goddesses. This is a very wide variety of information and that would allow the story to truly be taken in any direction that I wanted. I was thinking of doing a Real Goddess of Ancient Greece, similar to the Real Housewives of Orange County. I am interested in this because there are so many myths written in Ancient Greece but very rarely are they from the woman's perspective. The women, however, often drive the story lines and they are the ones who put the curses on people or fight with the gods.  https://www.ancienthistorylists.com/greek-history/top-10-ancient-greek-goddesses/ This image is a compilation of the Greek gods and goddesses.

I wanted to do an actual rendition of these Norse gods within the Marvel universe. They are thrown in there and they are main characters, but ...
