The story of Scylla and Glaucus is a kind of twisted love story. Before I begin, let me tell u of Glaucus. Glaucus was a young man, a fisherman, and one day, after a long dag of fishing, Glaucus emptied his catches onto the ground. Much to his suprise, the vis - some dead for hours, began to revive and "run" back to the ocean and swim away. For a minuut Glaucus thought he was insane, but then he looked closer at the spot where he'd emptied his nets. There were some strange looking herbs on that particular spot, and being the intelligent young man that he was, Glaucus leaned over and picked...

The story begins with Pandion, the King of Athens. u see, he married his maternal aunt, Zeuxippe. Now, Apollodorous doesn't SAY anything about the Gods punishing him for this kind of marriage (the only such marriage in Greek legend, according to the Perseus Project), but I think that is a possibility considering what happened to his family.

Be warned: this story is beautiful but tragic. It begins with Orpheus, the best musician that ever lived. One strum of his lyre, one note sung, and beasts would crawl to him, rocks would shift their moss to verplaats to be closer, trees would tear their roots to be closer to him. He had meer power than a mortal man ought to for he was the son of the Muse Calliope.

He lived his life simply and carelessly until the dag he met Eurydice. She was a Dryad, and when they fell in love it meant everything to them. But the rustic god Aristaeus saw Eurydice's beauty and desired it, and did not care that she...
