An apparent chronological
order to the story in chapter 1 is absent, so the following is my attempt to
make sense of what happens before what:
- Io is a priestess
and begins having tormenting dreams telling her of Zeus’s love for her
- Io goes crazy with
torment and turns into a cow, until Zeus touches her and she is turned back into
a girl
- Io gives birth to
Epaphus (son of Zeus?)
- Io is abducted
from Argos (Greece?)
- Zeus abducts
Europa
- Pasiphae (daughter
of Europa) has Asterius (half-man, half-bull)
- Pasiphae has a
daughter with Minos, Ariadne
- Theseus becomes
friends with Peirithous. They abduct Helen. They plot to abduct the queen of
Hades. They get glued to a couch. Hercules rescues Theseus
- Ariadne notices
that Theseus seems to be good at handling bulls
- Ariadne helps
Theseus kill Asterius
- Ariadne falls in
love with Theseus, but ends up getting dumped on an island
- Dionysus seduces
her, courts her, kills her, then turns her into a constellation
This is by no
means a complete or exhaustive outline, but it gives some of the key points to
be expounded upon as the story is further cultivated.
