I know there are some pretty wild and crazy Greek mythology stories that involve incest, murder, and even worse. I'm super curious to see what everyone's favourite and most wild story is. If you are able to share links of the full story, please do. I know some of them can be very complicated and long so I don't want to make you spend forever explaining them in the threads LOL.

In your opinion, what is the wildest Greek mythology story?

There are so many crazy stories. Maybe the 12 Labors of Hercules or anything that involves Medusa or the Minotaur?
Not the wildest but, for me, the most problematic one: PHERECYDES OF SYROS, 6th cent. B.C.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pherecydes_of_Syros
His cosmogony starts with three pinciples: Zas [Zeus], ChthoniE [Earth], and Chronos [Time]. All 3 are personified, yet what is it for time to exist as such? Only Heidegger has tackled this issue in his SEIN UND ZEIT, but he failed to deal with ZEIT/TIME. // To God all things are possible, said Gabriel to Mary. By the same mythological thinking, it was possible for Time to generate offsprings just by masturbating.
