Clymene

5. •Was a priestess of Hera
•Seduced by Zeus
•Changed in to a heifer

7. • When Prometheus went to the
rocks, he met a strange visitor: a
cow that speaks like a girl. Her
voice carried sorrow and pain but
still sounds beautiful.

9. • The strange visitor was Io. She
used to be a beautiful woman and
Zeus fell in love with her. When
Zeus’s wife, Hera, heard of this,
Zeus turned Io into a heifer to hide
her.
• The shrewd Hera asked for the
heifer as a present and Zeus
reluctantly gave Io away. Hera gave
Io to a monster- with thousand eyes,
Argus- to look after her.

11. • Zeus missed Io so much so he asked his son
Hermes, the messenger god, to find ways of
killing Argus. Hermes did and succeed what he
was told.

12. • It seemed that Io would be free
but Hera sent her flies to drive
her insane.
• Prometheus reveals a prophecy
that Io will wander for a long time
in the beastly body, tormented by
flies. But finally she’ll reach the
Nile River where Zeus will restore
her human form and give her a
son.

13. • From this son will be Hercules, born the
greatest heroes, and whom Prometheus
would gain his freedom.

14. • Cupid shots an arrow at Zeus and instantly he
fell for a pretty maiden, Europa.

15. • That morning, Europa awakens from a
strange dream in which two continents
were fighting for her. She goes down to the
ocean, with her friends to bathe and pick
flowers, afraid the dream might visit again.
• Zeus arrives, disguised himself on to a
beautiful bull. Europa climbs on top of his
back and as soon as she does, Zeus
gallops away.

17. • Europa clings to his horn tightly as they gallop
over the waves.

18. • Terrified, she understands that it was a
god, Zeus. She beg for him to let her go
but the god comforts her, explaining that
he loves her and that he’ll bring her to an
island called Crete.
• When they arrived, Zeus returned to his
human self and made love with her. She
bore him two sons: Minos and
Rhadamanthus

20. RHADAMANTHUS

21. • At the creation of the world, there was only
three Cyclops, but they reproduced and
had many off springs. They crafted Zeus’s
thunderbolts and were known for their
strength and hostility to strangers.

23. • Thus, when Odysseus (Ulysses) sails for
from Troy and beaches his boat on their
shore, great danger awaits.
• Odysseus and his crew saw a cave on the
beach and walked inside to explore. The
enormous Polyphemus pushes a huge
rock over the cave’s opening, effectively
trapping the men inside.

25. • He eats few of Odysseus’s men and fell
asleep. The situation seemed hopeless but
Odysseus came to an idea: he finds an
enormous timber and sharpens the end of
it. The next day, Odysseus then offers a
wine which the beast drinks and promptly
fell asleep. While Polympheus sleeps,
Odysseus and his men heat the end of the
timber and ram it into the Cyclops’s eyes
blinding him.

27. • Centuries had passed, the cyclops
remained shape-less, huge and his eyes
blinded. But he actually fell for a nymph
named Galatea.
• NYMPH- in Greek mythology is a minor
female nature deity typically associated
with a particular location or landform.
There are 5 different types of nymphs,
Celestial Nymphs, Water Nymphs, Land
Nymphs, Plant Nymphs and Underworld
Nymphs.

29. • In a much later, Galatea fell for him
too. In this time of story, Polyphemus
got his eye back. Galatea told her
sister, Doris, about her affection but
Doris would only insult her.

31. • But Polyphemus did not end up with Galatea.
She instead settled for a prince named Acis who
Polyphemus then killed.

32. • Acis then turned into a river god.
Polyphemus never loved any other woman
but Galatea or that any other woman would
love him back.
