Mythology’s Top Five Badasses
by There’s plenty of badass gods and heroes in ancient mythology but let’s see who takes the cake.
Mythology is a full and fascinating world of study that incorporates the changing history and culture of the world over thousands of years. Mythology can be debated over in terms of its validity and meaning from now until doomsday but one thing will never change. No matter where in the world it comes from, mythology has told the story of some real bad ass figures. Now let’s take a look at five of mythologies top badasses. In a highly subjective order and in no way definitive, this is my list.
5. Prometheus

Prometheus was a titan and a friend to the earliest men. While a sophisticated man of the world himself, he had a soft spot for humans. He liked to help them out and one day he figured he’d give humans fire. He chose to get that fire from the head honcho of the gods: Zeus. Prometheus forgot to ask in advance.
Zeus got pretty mad at Prometheus for stealing fire for lowly mortals and decided to punish him by chaining him to a rock. Then every day a giant eagle would swoop down on him and rip out his liver and eat it in front of him. Prometheus would live through this and the liver would grow back at night. The next day the eagle would return and eat it again. Ouch…
Prometheus gets some mega badass points just for taking such a punishment like a man. You can’t steal from Zeus and not expect to get royally screwed over but he did it anyway and now is suffering an eternity of pain. That’s badass.
4. Zeus

Not everyone will agree with me because Zeus is one badass guy. He’s also considered to be pretty manly. He was the god in charge of all the Greek gods and ruled with an iron fist. He was big, bearded, didn’t wear a shit, threw lightning bolts and slept around with whoever he want even though he was married.

You’re grammar is pathetic. This reads like it came from a 10 year old. If in case you are a 10 year old, kudos to you for knowing so much about mythology. If not then, shame on you for writing this piece of trash.
Oh and for God’s sake make sure you spell check your own damned article. Nothing makes the quality of this article look any worse than also having a crap-ton of spelling errors.
