Plot Bunnies From Myth & Legend

[TheLobster]

The one about Set and Horus trying to assert dominance by cumming inside each other is the funniest one.

Fellas, is it gay to cum inside a guy if we’re both gods?

Then there’s the whole myth of Valkyries taking bravery men to paradise.

I can see how that would make for an erotic euphemism.

The horses that the Valkyries ride could easily justify making them trans women.

I know that in ancient Mediterranean (and some Middle Eastern) cultures, they didn't care about the "gayness" of it so much as they did about who was penetrating whom. It wasn't considered bad as long as you were the "man" and fucking the other man the way you would a woman. So I guess it got a pass in ancient Egypt.

Was there one about a god creating the world by masturbating and ejaculating into the void? I don't know nearly as much about Egyptian mythology as I do about Greco-Roman mythology, but I seem to remember an Egyptian creation myth along those lines.

There's Atum, son tellings of semen being used to create realms or god ala Aphrodite and Ymir in some tellings of Norse myth. I know Assyrian myths have stuff with a dragon but nothing unifying.

Bowdlerized versions of myths are popular, but the more explicit versions are still out there if you look. If I remember correctly, I read a version of the Greek myths when I was a preteen where Saturn killed Uranus (or maybe just imprisoned him in Tartarus; even more Bowdlerized). And then as a teen or in college I read a version with the added detail that Saturn cut off Uranus' balls with his own scythe first.

One comes to mind that I'm surprised people haven't already mentioned in this thread. Some people know that Odin rides a horse, named Sleipnir, with eight legs. (It appears in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene in the first Thor movie.) Some people may not know that in the myths, Sleipnir is the child of Loki, who enjoys shapeshifting and had sex with a horse on one occasion. Some people who know that may still not know that Loki shapeshifted into a female horse and is Sleipnir's mother.

Try putting that in a story here some day.

Digging into my memory here: a dwarf promised to build the walls of Asgard, and if he completed the work within a year he'd get Freya's hand in marriage. The Aesir agreed, thinking he'd never finish the job in time - contractors being contractors even then - but the dwarf had an amazing horse that effortlessly pulled all the stones to build the wall.

With the wall nearly finished, they decide to distract the horse, and Loki agrees to be the bait. Not for fun, but out of necessity. (Sure....)

(I might have some of the details wrong. It's been a while since I read much Norse mythology.)

ETA: Dammit, I meant to add that this an excellent source of inspiration. And isn't Loki also the father of the Fenrir Wolf and the World Serpent Jormungander? And Hel?)

Yep. He is.

One might consider writing Priapus with PTSD.

The titan Chronus castrated his father, Uranus, and threw his testicles into the sea. Uranus’ semen mixed with the sea water to create Aphrodite.

I read that myth recently, the God of War games making me realize how little I actually knew about Norse myth.

That one kind of puts the complaints about Marvel 'making' their Loki bisexual into perspective, doesnt it?

Yes. This was what I was referring to with Kronos/Cronus. I even wrote that in Tales of Olympus. But I was saying sexuality and creation happened a lot in mythology, which I love.
