Greek mythology from A to Z:

[I] - Icarus was the son of the famous craftsman Daedalus.

Daedalus managed to create two sets of wings for himself and his son, that were made of feathers glued together with wax. He taught Icarus how to fly and warned him not to fly too high, which would cause the wax to melt, nor too low, which would cause the feathers to get wet with sea water. Together, they flew out of the tower towards freedom. However, Icarus soon forgot his father’s warnings, and started flying higher and higher, until the wax started melting under the scorching sun. His wings dissolved and he fell into the sea and drowned.

Greek mythology from A to Z:

[G] - Gaia or Gaea (Γαῖα) is the personification of the Earth, and, for all intents and purposes, the Mother of Everything Beautiful in the world.

Greek mythology from A to Z:

[M] - Medusa (Μέδουσα) was one of the three Gorgons, daughters of Phorcys and Ceto. A beautiful mortal, Medusa was the exception in the family, until she incurred the wrath of Athena, either due to her boastfulness or because of an ill-fated love affair with Poseidon. Transformed into a vicious monster with snakes for hair, she was killed by Perseus, who afterward used her still potent head as a weapon, before gifting it to Athena.

Norse mythology from A to Z:

[T] - Týr is a war god, but also the god who, more than any other, presides over matters of law and justice.

Deimos:(gleefully) A hit, eh? You want us to make em suffer? Or just end it, quick and quiet-like?

Zeus:Nah, nothin' permanent... just, like, give him a little taste of fear. I guess you can break something small... like a toe...

Deimos: We can take out his tongue..

Phobos:(with relish) With a knife!

Deimos:Or remove his heart...

Phobos:(with great relish) Yeah, with a knife!

Deimos:A bigger knife!

Phobos:(with greater relish) Fucking knife!

Zeus:(a touch uneasy) Yeeeeahhhhhhh.... you guys....are....kinda creepy. I think this may be a stupid idea. Hey, Ares, do you want to call the spooky twins home before I throw them there?

Ares: Come boys....

Phobos and Deimos: (Slinks away creepily)
