now if anyone is in need of help it must be Bacchus - Oprah could give him alcohol and dietary advice - that paunch is NOT a good look.
I can just see good 'ol Bacchus on Dr. Phil.
"So, how's it workin' for ya?"
"Fine, Phil. Damn fine. I'm in the same shape I was 3,000 years ago. You doin' anything Saturday night?"
Bacchus raping as art? If this mythological fellow went there, then I am frowning. Bacchus arting as rape? Well, frowning some more.
I am secure in my lack of knowledge of mythology, except in wee snippets.
I aver that bacchus arted the grape...
no need to worry about rape .... all that excess of vino has a certain gravitational effect on men i believe.... even gods must suffer
You know who is probably looking for a new career move....Daedalus. What has he done since building that labyrinth to imprison Ariadne? He wasted his talents playing the evil wizard on "The Smurfs". I'll bet we could get him for scale...
Cav--
Daedalus is collecting on his patents--tongs, scissors and jet lag pills.
Addition: He's also the man who came up with the protype robot.
What's up with Echo these days then, besides listening to the sound of her own voice repeatedly and hanging out with the bunnymen? She might be a bit of a diva, but her woodland sports skills could very well support a 'Fear Factor' type challenge show.
Echo and the Bunnymen, one of my favourite bands when I was a young 'un:

Hey, don't knock Ian just because he used Pepsi to keep his hair all spikey.
Cav--
In some secluded valleys Echo has a reputation of nudging Egotistic Male Climbers so that Unfortunate Accidents occured.
I'm not a television watcher, but could you combine "Fear Factor" with a cut-the-rope "You're Fired"?
eh, Cav;
just found this little den of 'pestulence TV'
and i must set you right, right off the top!
"For Medusa, every day was a bad hair day, and relationship troubles were common, as her dates tended to turn into stone when they looked at her, not at all flattering for a gal, even if you are a Gorgon."
Don't you recognize a metaphore for an erection when you see one?
Medusa was "HOT"!
Hot like a SNAKE! Besides 'witch', as a female, metaphor or not, how could she have an erection? A swollen clitoris doesn't count.
you just don't 'get' it; do you!!!
Well, call me stoney faced...
Haha!
Back to Echo & "Fear Factor"...I believe Diana would make a most excellent judge. And don't forget her brother, Phoebus Apollo, who is god of archery (among his many talents.) And Mercury, another of my half-siblings, presides over wrestling, gymnastics and all things requiring skill and dexterity.
With Diana-Apollo-Mercury, we'd have a truly Olympic panel of judges.
I think she became a writer, was it on an Algis thread?

yeah like the Toblerone add!
and as we attempt to untie the gordian knot of Bo--on we go.
Heracles and his olympic "feet" would wash out the Augean stables as Jason and his hockey mask attempt to match- make the hydra with Medusa. Argonauts stand in line waiting for the bachelorette to choose one of them.
