Norse Mythology From A To Z:

Patroclus: fuck, marry, kill- me, Automedon, and Antilochus.

Achilles: Marry you, fuck Antilochus, and kill Agamemnon.

Agamemnon: What the fuck? I wasn’t even one of the options?

Automedon: I, for one, am very flattered about the fact that you don’t want to kill me. Thank you, Achilles.

*as kids* Chiron: I just found out that my dad isn't really my dad. Chariclo: Your dad... Apollo the god who doesn't have a drop of horse or centaur blood in him? Chiron: [nods] Chariclo: Chariclo: That must have been quite a shock...

Those guys would be horrified by high performance athlete nowadays.
