Book XI
Even Bacchus has limits to violence
Midas gets the gold and loses his touch (plus donkey ears)
The (?) love story of Peleus and Thetis (Achilles parents)
Ceyx (should’ve listened to his wife) and Alcyone’s (doomed like Cassandra) easily avoided tragic love story (but at least they end up together as birds)

Book IX and X
Hercules outsmarts a god, gets the girl, is killed by the girl, and becomes a god
Byblis should’ve been a god because they get to have sibling spouses
Iphis and Ianthe’s story could’ve been wildly different if Iphis’s father wasn’t so misogynistic
Orpheus loses Eurydice (twice)
Pygmalion loves a statue into life
Myrrha (see Byblis)
Venus = lovely and terrifying

Book VIII
Daedalus’s full story is quite revealing- trapped on Crete he builds a labyrinth to keep the Minotaur trapped. This was only necessary because he helped Minos wife rape a bull. He was trapped on Crete because he murdered his teenage nephew because he has an inferiority complex.
On a lighter note - Baucis and Philemon are adorable.
