At the moment, I'm in rehearsal for my college theater department's production of Agamemmnon(off to rehearsal in just a few, actually).  You ever notice how in most Greek tragedy and mythology, everything seems to exist in a universe where absolutely everyone on earth was both insane and a royal asshole?

Trojan war: My wife cheated on me, I shall kill an entire city!  This makes sense!

King Agamemmnon: I need to win my war.  Rather than spend time planning a strategy, I shall murder my daughter!  That'll be the last thing the enemy will expect.

The Gods: Boy, are we assholes.  Seriously, we need to destroy someone's life before we can feel like, any arousal at all.  We start our day by shitting on blind orphans.

Zeus: I will fuck absolutely anything.  I have my dick in so much stuff that I have to change myself into animals and beams of light to keep it fresh.

Prometheus and Atlas: We're the only sane, morally sound ones here, so naturally we get imprisoned for all eternity.

Odin: Greek gods are posers.

Odysseus:  Oh, yeah, I definitely didn't want to stay on an island as a goddess's sex slave for twenty years.  She, uh, forced me, yeah...

Jesus: Wow, no wonder people flock to me a couple centuries from now.  If this is my competition for worshippers.
