not a story of justice and evil

Myths are actually a unique reflection of the living conditions of people in ancient times. Greek mythology should actually be the story of ancient tribal clans.
The original story was that Zeus' father usurped the throne and took the throne of the tribal chief of the Titans. Zeus overthrew his father's rule through a coup d'état, and Zeus exiled his two brothers after his victory. It seems that the tragedy of the imperial family has similarities in China and abroad. This does not involve justice and evil, but only palace intrigue, tribal battles and the like. After ascending the throne, Zeus, the super stallion, was so lewd. He gave birth to many children with many goddesses (in reality, noble women), and later he felt bored, and also with mortal women (in reality, it should be The woman of the common people) gave birth to many wild species, and the so-called heroic stories in the back are the stories of those illegitimate children of Zeus.
The same is true of this film, there is no real justice and evil, but it is actually a story of revenge of two people, one is revenge for his relatives, the death of his relatives makes him hate the god who stands by, and the other is simpler, avenging his mother (below But he said that he was wise and brave and saved mankind, what is this?). The most incomprehensible thing is, why didn't Zeus let his gods stop his opponents, just for fun? And the most unfair thing to me is that Zeus can teleport, but as an ancient god Titan, he has to run and jump like a beast.
In the end, Zeus actually relied on the collapse of the mountain to destroy his opponent - the ancient god Titan, too joking.
The myths of every nation are full of incest that seems unbelievable in modern times. In fact, it is also a reflection of the ancient reality. It is not surprising that intermarriage between close relatives in tribes, or even between brothers and sisters, father and daughter, mother and son.

    Phaedra: You have no faith.

    Dareios: Heathens.

  • Phaedra: To those whom much is given, much is taken away.
