Greek Myth XXXIII: Pseudo-Apollodorus’s Bibliotheca Book I, Chapter VIII – Oeneus, Meleager, Tydeus, or Wining and Whining

Posted byTriumvir ClioPosted inGreek Myth, The Greeks

A little bit of wine and a little bit of whining from the heroes in today’s episode. And by whining, of course I mean killing people they disagree with.

Discussion Prompts
  1. What type of wine do you prefer?
  2. Do you know any other myths about people crossing boundaries and then getting killed for it? Please share! No, Julius Caesar crossing the Rubicon doesn’t count. That really happened.
  3. Compare/contrast Meleager and Achilles.
  4. Compare/contrast Deianira and Atalanta.

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
