Archnemesis Dad: Difference between revisions

=== Mythology ===

* [[Satan Is Good|Satan]] and [[God Is Evil|God]] are sometimes portrayed this way.

** ''Cronos's'' father Uranus (the sky) wasn't much better. He feared and hated all of his children so much that he forced them back into Gaia (the earth). Naturally, being forced to keep ''all'' of her full grown children inside her at once pissed Gaia off so much that she helped her son Cronos, the youngest and boldest Titan, get revenge on dear ol' dad. She forged a sickle which Cronos used to ''castrate his own father'' when Uranus was in the mood for some earth lovin'.

*** In some versions of myth he did not trapped and "was not in the mood" but rather hadn't stopped it in the first place.

*** This is despite the fact that the closest relative of his was either Zeus' great-nephew or his second cousin (Achilles' mother was Thetis the sea nymph, whose father was either Poseidon, Zeus' brother, or Oceanus, Zeus' uncle). Although most of the heroes did have some percentage of divine blood, it was really no more than just about any prominent person would have.

**** Zeus's son Sarpedon dies fighting for the Trojans, but he seems to be genuinely upset. And Aeneas, the one surviving Trojan, is Zeus's grandson in some versions of the myth. Of course, [[It Got Worse|seeing what happens to Aeneas afterwards...]]
