How about Gaia and her sons Uranus and Pontus in the most well known version. It went well till Uranus shoved his ugly children back down her uterus. There’s room there for people to do whatever they want. Or at least be including in a film about the titanomachy(which should totally exist).

Ever hear of the god/dess agdistis. She was born hermaphroditic. The Gods feared that made her overly powerful and castrated her. Like with the story of uranus, She had one child after her genitalia was cut off, her son Attis. She falls in love with her son. They may have had a relationship. And it really doesn’t end well(for a lot of innocent bystanders especially). She’s also compounded with Cybele, whose consort is Attis(with them all being the same people sometimes).

OmG. 

I love learning more mythology. It’s always so wild.

Ok I know you’re maybe not into mother/son or real life examples of potential like “vibes”. But, @jonesallenart on Instagram is the mother of the guy who plays Toby on pretty little liars (Keegan Allen). And there’s just vibes there. It’s sweet; but it definitely seems shippy.

Well Toby is at his best when his shirt is off so I can’t say that would entirely surprise me.

Very interesting, Anon, thanks for sharing!

I don’t follow any celebs on instagram so I always miss everything.

My mother made me understand that every human society is a pyramid, and that some lives will always matter more than others. It’s better to accept this than to pretend it isn’t true.

Hugh Grant gave a quote in the 90s when he and Elizabeth Hurley were dating that sometimes when they check into hotels they pretend to be brother and sister and then share the double bed, he said the whole idea of incest is quite appealing. She seems very into incest always posting pictures with her son holding each other/snuggling together and once posted a sexual picture of herself from Bedazzled in a bikini with a snake around her saying it was her son’s favorite shot of her from the movie.

Everyone mentioned how incestuous it was and she deleted the Instagram photo but the tweet is still there, she raised him by herself and is single so him lusting after her photo and her basically bragging about it is interesting. She also posted a photo with her shirtless nephew who she said was 16 and just started modeling, she ended the caption with “Just had a great holiday with him…” the … at the end is suggestive and they have a close mother/son relationship which is also interesting.

Wow, I didn’t know any of that! That is crazy!!!!!

The Hugh Grant part doesn’t surprise me, except that he told everyone! 

Thanks for sharing, Anon. How amusing.

There’s a clip from Cougar Town’s Pilot episode on Youtube where Jules walks up to Travis with 2 glasses of wine and asks him to stay in and watch a movie on the couch, he asks if he’s hitting on him and she says “this wine’s for Ellie she’s been looking so hot lately I thought I’d get her drunk and try to hit that” to which he replies “lesbian mom jokes awesome”. Later her neighbor asks her when the last time was that she got laid and she says “Well I almost hooked up with my son last night”.

That is hilarious!!!!! I’ve never seen Cougar
Town but I’ve heard a little about
Jules and Travis from others and they are ridiculous. (Tag is here.) The show
really did not hold back on the incest jokes when it came to those two – and not
just quantity, but quality. Intensity. And that’s from the pilot! I really love
how in love she is with him.

Thanks for sharing that with me, Anon! I couldn’t find the clip but I hope to watch the show eventually.

Then we will see each other again. 

Hi! Recently i watched this film called “the savage is loose”in which a couple with their little son shipwrecked in this unhabited island where they remain fo a long time and the son grew up and develops sexual desire for his mother since she’s the only woman in the island,it was interesting.

In 1902, John , his much younger wife Maida and their infant son David are the only survivors of a ship that crashes into the rocky beach of an uncharted island during a violent storm. By 1912, David, now a seemingly happy 12-year-old boy, begins to enter puberty. By the time he is 17, David is consumed by lust for his mother, which drives a wedge between him and his father to the point where they hunt each other down for the affections of the only woman on the island.

AMAZING.

I had never heard of The Savage is Loose. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Anon. A new canon title – a merry Christmas indeed!!

Hades and Persephone are great but how about Persephone and Adonis. Adonis was given to persephone as a baby to raise. And she didn’t want to give him back. Adonis is forced to spend part of the year with her. While Aphrodite gets the larger part of the year with him(his choice). On top of that, it’s hard not to think of Aphrodite as a mother figure to him too. She’s usually tied to his birth. And took him in, even if she gave him to someone else to raise.

Wow, I hadn’t heard that myth. Apparently Adonis is the middle of a very incestuous web:

Adonis’ mother was the beautiful Myrrha of Smyrna and his father, King Cinyrus of Cyprus, who was actually the father of Myrrha. This strange parentage of Adonis came about because Goddess Aphrodite was jealous of Myrrha’s beauty and caused the girl to unite with her own father.

Interesting that the best-looking man in Greek mythology was the product of father/daughter incest.

Or this version:

It is said that Adonis was born of the illicit union between King Theias of Smyrna and his daughter Myrrha. Urged on by Aphrodite herself, the goddess of beauty, love and sexual desire, who had been offended when King Theias forgot to make a sacrifice for her, Myrrha had made amorous advances towards her father but he was successfully keeping her away. One night, she managed to lure her father out into the open and there under cover of darkness she laid with him.

I’m sure you know more about the myth than what I’ve just read, but it sounded like Aphrodite and Persephone both raised him. So it was definitely a potentially adoptive mother/adoptive son incest times 2. I read a couple of versions of the myth from different sites – it’s interesting how the narratives just sort of slide right from “beautiful baby” to “they were in love with him”. 

Thanks for sharing, Anon! Just when you don’t think there’s more incest left to be discovered in Greek mythology, there is.
