 * The Rape of Persephone does not involve sex with an unwilling partner. At the time, "rape" referred to kidnapping or assault. Same with the Rape of the Sabine Women, or The Rape of the Lock, which does not involve keyholes.
 * Not necessarily sex with an unwilling partner; the word "rape" often had the sexual connotation of "kidnapping for sex, out of strong desire".

In fact, in "payment" his father got a herd of divine horses, and Ganymede eternal youth, a soft make-work government job ("Cupbearer"), and retirement as a constellation.

 * The father of the Titans was named Uranus (the planet was named after him). Sometimes averted by calling him "Ouranos" or something similar.

"Dyke" is, of course, one of many slang terms for a lesbian (particularly used in the phrase "bull dyke" to describe a lesbian woman who looks like a man). And the less said about the "sticking his finger" part, the better...
