Mythological erotica

Good luck. You may find youself explaining the mythology more than you'd like. I don't think you can assume that the readership is well versed (pun intended).

Actually...

...a great deal of mainstream literature as well as erotica is based on mythology. Sometimes it's so subtle that you don't recognise it unless you are a scholar in mythology (which I'm not) and other times it's very overt. One book that comes to mind where it is more overt is "Sex Macabre" where mythological foundations from all sorts are woven into an erotic context.

Might be worth a browse on Amazon.

Here is a suggestion, the tricking of Arthur into sleeping with his half-sister Morganna le Fey

Zeus taking the form of a swan and raping a mortal woman

how about psyche and eros? i love that one.

Any story with Zeus would be too pridictable. A story with Agamemnon and Cassandra would work out great, consitering Cassandra was Agamemnon's war prize.

Friends, Romans...um..Greek Perverts...Lend Me Your Ears!!
Only the internet (and Budweiser) would cause me to admit it, but somehow I created this fantasy where the women of Troy saved the city by volunteering to fuck the men that stormed Her. Imagine: the men of Troy know they are defeated as soon as the traitorous gift opens its belly in the middle of the night.
Either they submit to the desperate scheme of their wives and daughters...or they die. Troy falls.
Oh wait. I jumped mythologies again.
Nevermind. Heh.

I find early medieval Catholic mythology much, much more interesting than Greek. You have the succubi, the demonization of old pagan gods, ceremonies in the forest, the wild ride, very very cool stuff and lots of potential for a great story

Erotic Medieval Myths

I'm currently working on a story about a rapist and child molester who dies and goes to hell. He receives an interesting "reward" from the devil.
I hope to have it ready for submission around Labor Day.

mythological eroticism

I suppose people are most familiar with Greco-Roman and Arthurian mythologies, since we're fed this stuff since early childhood.

I've been reading up on Mexican mythologies since I moved here 6 months ago, and although most of it is really gory, some tales have lots of erotic potential. The problem is, as others have already mentioned, the explaining we'd have to do.

Yes that was the royal "we"...

If anybody has any good links to medieval mythologies, please drop me a line!

Thanks to all...

Eros in Eros

One of my stories has mythic elements. Its not based on any particular myth, but it doesn involve Greeks and Nymphs.

Tell me what you think.

Then there is the Bible...

How about Biblical mythology? Take Lot, for instance. One hell of a stand-up guy. He offers his virgin daughters up to the carnal whims of an angry mob, then later gets drunk and sleeps with them.

I sense a couple of possibilities here. First there is a great erotic story featuring a non-consentual bisex gang bang waiting to be written. Second are death-threat emails. I always take it as a compliment when I can make someone livid enough to hate my guts. I love a challenge.

Intriguing. I wonder if I have the balls to post it...

Skeptus Heriticus, over and out...

Great job Paolo!

I loved it, gave it the highest marks. There's only one criticism I can offer. I'm not so sure they (The charging troops) would charge in silence, perhaps it seemed silent and surreal; slow motion in spite of the broken screams of the dying and the clash of steel on steel, the roar of the chariots as they rode down the enemy with a great snapping of bones and other such essential visions of carnage?

(See how much I love this stuff? Carried away again...)

Sugar Coated History

Skep,

My editor once accused me of teaching history through erotica, so I'll prove her right. Most ancient armies advanced with some sort of war-cry or chant. The Roman's beat their spears and swords on their shields for instance, and the Greeks gave a cry which was written as "ELELELELU".

The Spartans, unlike other Greeks, marched in silence except for the sound of the pipes. The effect must have been much like Scottsmen advancing to bagpipes- very unsettling if you are on the receiving end!

Glad you liked it. My other stories do no involve Mythology, but are set in ancient Rome, so you may enjoy them too.

thank you for taking the time to be historically accurate, even in an erotica setting. I, for one, appreciate that....
Not just ancient armies that had a distinctive war cry. The rebel yell is an example of a modern one. In World War II, it wasn't the troops but Stuka dive bombers that had a scream that terrified their enemies. Keep writing!
