Hades, the god of the underworld, kidnapped Demeter's, goddess' of agriculture and nature, daughter Persephone. Demeter went out to search for her in the underworld to take her back. She searched for half a year, which is why winter came, because, without Demeter, all plants withered. She struck a deal with Zeus so that for half a year, she gets Persephone back, and for another half, Hades has her. Demeter mourns for her daughter every time, and goes out to search for her, and does not look after nature at that time. And this is why we have seasons. Greeks celebrated this myth once every four years in Eleusinian mysteries. It was a great celebration, and all of Greece had peace so pilgrims could come from all parts of the country to the mysteries.

One time, Hephaestus had a crush on Athena. So he chased after her, and because he can't run very well (he's crippled) he started getting tired and sweaty. He touched Athena's leg and instead of kicking him and running away, her first response was to wipe the sweat off with a hankie, throw it off Mount Olympus, and then run. On the way down the hankie turned into a child, and Athena put it in a box with a snake. Good parenting is not a common sight on Olympus.

Once upon a time there was a lady who got cursed to have snakes for hair, and to turn everyone she looked at into the equivalent of a fancy rock. Yeah... things didn't work out well for her in the end. XD

After failing to rescue Eurydice from the underworld, Orpheus bummed around for some time, and then proceeded to be ripped apart limb from limb by members of the Dionysius cult for not honoring their patron God
