Story of Sisyphus, interesting, something heroic in his refusal to submit.

Dionysus x Aphrodite created Priapus, the god of male genitalia and phalluses. “He was especially prized by the Romans as the minor deity of the major boner”. Hera cursed him, because Dionysus was Zeus’ bastard half human child.
He went about in a constant state of excitement which, on account of Hera’s curse, always failed him.

Electra female form of electron, Greek word for ‘amber’. Greeks noticed if you rub amber vigorously with a cloth it magically attracts dust and fluff. They called this ‘amberiness’, which all words like electricity, electronic, electron derive from.

The story of Eros and Psyche was nice.

Ambrosia means immortality, in games this is the name of a liquid that makes you impervious to all damage.
Ichor is a silver gold like liquid that is the ‘blood’ runs through a god. It’s what makes them immortal, but it’s poison for mortals.

A lot of names to remember. I like the correlation between words today and the deities they had then.
