Do you have any favorite Greek Myths?

[Mr. A]

I was wondering if any of you have any favorite Greek myths, and if you could list them, and perhaps say as to why they are your favorite.

My personal favourite is the eighth labour of Hercules, The Mares of Diomedes. I like a bit of horror.

After capturing the Mares, Hercules young companion is put in charge of them.

Look after them horses kid.

What Hercules didn't know is that the mares were man-eating horses...

The story of Pygmalion and Galatea has always touched me deeply.

I'm more into Norse mythology myself...maybe I should start a thread

I do like Icarus though, and his sun exploits
