But like ancient Greek mythology, this modern tragedy is by no means inevitable.

AMPHION and ZETHUS, in ancient Greek mythology, the twin sons of Zeus by Antiope.

ALCMENE, in ancient Greek mythology, the daughter of Electryon, king of Mycenae, and wife of Amphitryon.

AMPHITRITE, in ancient Greek mythology, a sea-goddess, daughter of Nereus (or Oceanus) and wife of Poseidon.

And has been that way since long before Jason and his Argonauts, the legends of Ancient Greek mythology, crossed it.

Women have often been portrayed as monsters, think Medusa from ancient Greek mythology or the monster mother-in-law in pop culture.

Others claim that, like the palladium that protected the city of Troy in Ancient Greek mythology, the stone must survive or London will fall.
