Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • In one text on Greek mythology, Sisyphus's crimes are listed as (paraphrased) "Murder, ravishing of young girls, attempting to cheat death, hubris, and accusing Zeus of having an affair." The kicker? Zeus was having an affair. Zeus is always having an affair. He was just mad Sisyphus snitched.
  • The Egyptian god Shezmu is the demonic god of execution, slaughter, blood, oil, wine, and . . . perfume.
  • The Greek Goddess Athena is Goddess of Knowledge, Defensive War....and handicrafts.
    • Arachne found out the hard way that you do not challenge Athena's prowess in handicrafts if you want to stay alive with dignity.
