Line 1:
{{trope}}
* In the Finnish national epic, ''[[The Kalevala]]'', Kullervo sleeps with a maiden which he doesn't know to really be his sister. In the end they both commit suicide. This is reflected in [[J. R. R.
* In many versions of the [[King Arthur|Arthurian mythos]], Morgause is Arthur's half-sister. Their son and nephew, Mordred, eventually destroys Arthur's kingdom. It's complicated further since Mordred was a Beltane conception, meaning he was technically a child ''borne of the gods''.
* In [[Norse Mythology]], marriage and breeding between brother and sister were common amongst the Vanir before their alliance with the Aesir
* In fact, almost by necessity most creation myths involve this, particularly among gods and titans like Zeus and Hera, and their grandparents Earth and Sky -- who were mother and son too, technically.
** The whole pantheon is ''filled'' with incest of just about every conceivable combination. Brother-Sister Incest is probably the least strange of it.
Line 16:
** Sarah was Abraham's half-sister, as well as his wife. So when he told the Egyptians [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|"she is my sister"]] he was telling a ''half''-truth...that caused all sorts of mayhem.
