Zeus was known to sleep around with any female. The player God might be a better term than raping God

The kanji used in the raw literally means rape or sexual assault, there is really no room for misunderstanding there.


Greek anon here. Concerning notes 2 & 3. For note 2 its melachrinos (μελαχρινός in Greek chars) and literally means black haired person (which by the way is a common hair color in Greeks). Should have been melachrini actually, as metamorphosis is a female noun in Greek.

Note 3 is kidemonikos (or kithemonikos -th as in these-, that is closer to the Greek pronuniation, Greek κηδεμονικός). Literally means something belonging to a guardian (Κηδεμονας means legal guardian of an underage, or otherwise unable of self-reliance, person). Just like note 2, as Aegis is also a female noun, it should be kidemoniki. (Adjectives in Greek take the gender of the noun they apply to)

Could it be that it's related to this? "Mela-", as a preffix, means "black", which could be a reference to black-figure pottery, and "Phrynos" was a painter of those; it's common for that pottery to be decorated with mythological, battle or sport scenes, which makes sense in this context. What doesn't make sense is that the only black bulls I find in Greek mythology are Apis (taken from Egypt) and the Ophiotauros (snake-bull). This is weird, since Zeus, the only time he's known to have become a bull (the rape of Europa), turned into a white one... Just check this.--Kemm (talk)

Pansexual doesn't actually come from Pan, but from Greek πᾶν meaning "all". Check out the English words "Panamerican" and "pantheism", for example (see Wiktionary). --179.218.17.160 00:29, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
