    You should do the story of Hypnos, god of sleep, who tricked Zeus by putting him to sleep so hera could get back at hercules. Zeus eventually woke up and was infuriated, and chased Hypnos so he could punish him. Hypnos ran to the comfort of his mother, Nyx. Nyx is one of the most powerful gods in Greek mythology to where even Zeus fears her. Nyx is known to be a very sweet and loving deity unlike the Olympians, despite her power. If there's one thing you don't do, it's NEVER mess with Nyx's children. Zeus took one look at Nyx, and let Hypnos off scott free, fearing her wrath if he punished her child

The good and the heroic are chosen to live in the Elysium Fields which is supposed to be a peaceful paradise. If you die without two coins placed on your eyes (like in an accident away from family and friends and without them knowing you died) your soul is doomed to wait on the shore of the Styx for 100 years until you are somehow given two coins to pay Charon to fairy you over to Hades for judgement.

[ Also I have just started reading Percy Jackson so it's still fresh in my mind].I hope I could make some sense 😅.

    The first guy, Sisyphus, was punished for disrupting the Natural Balance of the Universe not once, but twice. His punishment wasn't torturous, just exhausting and repetitive.
    The second, Tantalus, was punished because Zeus couldn't keep it in his pants, or Toga. Not only that, but the Former believed that since he was the Son of the King of Olympus, that the Natural and Ancient Laws that the gods made didn't apply to him. Tantalus' punishment was sort of torturous, but not very brutal.
    The third guy, Ixion, was punished for his Cruel, Ruthless and Sadistic Nature, as well as his lechery towards Zeus' Wife, Hera. Ixion's punishment was incredibly brutal, being tied to a burning metal wheel by Snakes.

    Could the story of the three brothers from Harry potter be loosely based on these myths?
    Tantalus died from the desire of power, dining with the mighty gods and bragging about it.even his punishment is linked with the desire. So he is the first brother.
    Ixion's downfall started when he fell in love with a woman(Hera) whom he couldn't be with. Like the second brother who misses his late fiancee. Both of them sleep with a shadow of the woman they loved.
    Finally, i like to think Sisyphus as the youngest brother,the smarter of the third who cheats death until he grows very old. Then he does welcome death, knowing he can't avoid the inevitable.
    I know this is far from a perfect match,the moral of the two stories is completely different but watching the video it just hit me!
