▲ 53 r/GreekMythology
In mythology, We see countless instances of gods r*ping or forcing themselves upon mortals (princesses, queens, or nymphs). We even see major goddesses being targeted or facing such threats.
However, I’ve rarely, if ever, come across a myth where a god is the victim—or almost the victim—of sexual assault by a mortal. Is there any specific reason for this absence in the records, or are there obscure myths I’m missing where a god is put in such a position by a human?
Edit: To clarify, I’m asking about instances where a "male deity" is the victim. Sorry if the previous phrasing was confusing
