“Welcome, my lad,” says Uranus to Cronus, who was approaching from the edge of the beach holding something strange in his hand, hidden from the glare. “Hello, father,” he replies. “I came to play beach bats.” “I don’t see any balls.” “And you won’t see any again.” How many illegitimate children did Zeus have anyway? What was the Pythia drinking to produce such erratic prophecies? Were Heracles’ feats really twelve, or did Eurystheus pull a fast one on him in the nineties? And was the girl Eileithyia truly as thick as her name suggests, or is it a misunderstanding and she’s being slandered for no reason?
These and other burning questions are addressed by Modern Greek Mythology. Parodying the myths of Hesiod in a delirious manner and in a continuous dialogue with the unparalleled Greek Mythology of Tsiforos, the book reimagines all the beloved stories of our childhood, illuminating the humorous side of the exciting adventures that the ancient Greeks devised to explain the world.
Because without the gods, demigods, and their endless antics, the truth that philosophers sought and still seek might be a bit boring.
