=== The ''Myth-O-Mania'' series provides examples of: ===
* [[Adaptational Villainy]]: Inverted with many of the monsters, such as the Minotaur, the Hydra, Medusa, Echidna, and Orthus. In contrast with the myths, the Greek heroes' encounters with these famous monsters [[Spared Byby the Adaptation|tend to be resolved peacefully]] (often with the help of Hades). Hydra in particular becomes a [[True Companions|faithful ally]] of Hades and Hercules, Medusa is returned to her original form instead of being killed, and the Minotaur is a peaceful vegetarian whose "sacrifices" are his wrestling buddies instead of food.
* [[Big Eater]]: Atalanta. Hades even refers to her as this, word for word!
* [[Bowdlerise]]: Most notably, the story of Hercules. Instead of having Zeus impersonate Alcmene's husband Amphytrion [[Bed Trick|and impregnate her with Hercules under these circumstances]], Alcmene is a princess who got pregnant with Hercules when she was married to Zeus and marries Amphytrion later on.
