Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes : A No-Bullshit Guide to World Mythology Paperback - 2013 - 1st Edition
by O'Brien, Cory
- Used
This book casts a gimlet eye on the real world of mythology. And in his irreverent style, O'Brien recounts more than 100 classic myths from Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Japanese, and other cultures. While each version is authentic in terms of facts, this creative take on the originals presents the stories in a whole new light.

Summary
• Zeus once stuffed an unborn fetus inside his thigh to save its life after he exploded its mother by being too good in bed.
• The entire Egyptian universe was saved because Sekhmet just got too hammered to keep murdering everyone.
• The Hindu universe is run by a married couple who only stop murdering in order to throw sweet dance parties…on the corpses of their enemies.
• The Norse goddess Freyja once consented to a four-dwarf gangbang in exchange for one shiny necklace.
And there’s more dysfunctional goodness where that came from.
