Since they are literally headcanons you can give the roman versions too.
Personally I was introduced to greek mythology by Saint Seiya so I have a sweet spot for anything Athena-related. Although my favorite one has got to be Orpheus and Eurydice, or Medea’s.
the time where helios’s son tried to ride the chariot of the sun across the sky and almost did it but the sunscreen (yes i shit you not he used special ointment) wore off last second and he burned to death
Oh yeah, isn’t that the explanation the ancient Greeks came up with for black people existing? Isn’t it because Helios’s son wasn’t good at flying the sun, and before he crash landed, he swerved a bit too close to Africa?
??
I never said you were wrong , I just mentioned that the part about black people was added by Ovid. I’m sorry if it came off weird, I wasn’t trying to be pedantic or confrontational
Honestly its hard to pick a favorite myth, there are a lot of fun ones. I’m partial to the Sisyphus myth, Atalanta is also cool, and idk if the Odyssey counts but I like that one a lot too
