Humor in Myth

So, not only am I art obsessed, I am also pretty obsessed with mythology. To a certain extent, this ties into my love of art since many of the paintings, statues, etc I enjoy are based in mythology. This includes one of my favorite paintings, Titian's Danae Receiving the Golden Rain

 
(I will admit one of my main reasons for loving this painting so much is that the little dog looks like my dog Trixie. Every time I go to a new museum I hunt out a painting with a small, Trixie-like dog.)   



This is Trixie -------------------------------------------------------------->


I digress. So, I found this humorous article about The 13 Biggest Assholes in Greek Mythology, which really struck my fancy. And also reminded me of this:

 

Perhaps I am easily amused, but I hope you guys get a chuckle from this like I did!

    Hahaha this was funny. I agree with the pie chart- Zeus caused most of the trouble!
    I really like mythology-based art works too. I read a lot of mythology growing up mostly because it was entertaining. There's this entertaining kids book series called King hades Ruler of The Underworld (KHROTU) where he basically saves all the heroes. You should read it for the laughs.
    P.S. I have cats named Zeus and Hades. :)
