I am working on a piece about “misalliance” in particular deathless goddesses and heroes mingling. According to Calypso in the Oddyessy the Olympians don’t like it when high-born goddesses mingle with men. Similar thought in the Hymn of Aprodite (ll. 185-190) “for he who lies with a deathless goddess is no hale man afterwards.” Anyone seen any research in this area? Bill
