I hope Artemis gave him a good strong talking to for this one.

It is amazing how strong my feeling of DO NOT WANT is when translating Daphne and Apollo. Dude, if a girl would rather turn into a tree than have sex with you, SHE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU. Don't continue to assault her AFTER SHE'S BEEN TURNED INTO A TREE. "If you can't be my wife, at least you'll be my tree!" isn't sweet, it's just creepy, you asshole.

It's a good life lesson in general! If a girl is running away from you, DON'T CHASE HER. Don't chase her and say things like, "Run more slowly, and I will follow you more slowly!" Or talk about how lovely her body is when her garments are pressed against it because she's running so fast! JUST DON'T CHASE GIRLS. And don't start trying to kiss her when she's a tree, dude, I doubt she's any more into you now.

I'm pretty DO NOT WANT about most of the pairings in Greek and Roman mythology (possibly in mythology in general, but I haven't been sufficiently exposed to other mythologies to develop an opinion). Good thing fanfiction has made me able to read pretty much anything as long as it's inexplicit?

Yeah, I think the only pairing in Greek and Roman mythology that I can even stand is Hera/Juno and Zeus/Jupiter and that's only because Hera/Juno gets pissed off at Zeus/Jupiter a lot.

My OTP to rival all OTP is Odysseus/Penelope, but the circumstances are pretty different in that one than most of Greek and Roman mythology. *sighs*
