Surely gods like Zeus, Apollo or Eos would like it? But only Aphrodite gets the femboy chariot (they might be her sons by the way).

Source for the screenshot is J. Diggle's Euripides: Phaethon. While Ovid implied that Phaethon's chariot ride created darker skin colors, Euripides (and some other authors) imply black people existed before that, yet some of the royals were exceptions.

>§ 4.13 (..) But thou wert born white, which colour is strange among the Ethiopians. I knew the reason, that it was because, while my husband had to do with me, I was looking at the picture of Andromeda brought down by Perseus naked from the rock, and so by mishap engendered presently a thing like to her. But counting it certain that thy colour would procure me to be accused of adultery, and that none would believe me when I told them the cause, I determined to rid myself of shameful death and (...)

Family trees can still be useful within a single work (but even then sometimes authors contradict themselves).

About the map, it's about trying to place many of the obviously fantastical locations into real life geography.

Though both the family trees and the maps can look awesome as artistic pieces sometimes.

Most gods and many mortals had chariots, but I'm only including some of the ones I find interesting due to being pulled by animals with something "special" about them rather than just normal quadrigas (4 horse chariot).

Some other gods with chariots are Zeus (often with Nike as charioteer, but sometimes just himself), Hebe, Athena, Hades, Ares, Demeter (not only the one she gave Triptolemus, Nyx, and surely others. But most of these are just pulled by horses, sometimes decorated horses, sometimes winged. Zeus' horses are sometimes liked to the anemoi, and some other horses have stories of their heritage, such as Ares' being children of Boreas.

I like these images because they all have some unusual elements.

Selene
Different sources that I found for this image coincided in that the male character is likely Endymion trying to entice Selene, using the Golden Fleece, seemingly linking the Argonautica story with the myth of Endymion while also depicting Endymion awake (although that is -not- unique to this image).

Demeter and Persephone

[Link with further comment]
The image is described as depicting a deceased bride alongside Eros and Aphrodite above, then Demeter driving a chariot with Persephone (already queen of the undeworld) holding an eleusinian torch, guided by Hermes while a female figure (tagged as Artemis/Bendis). Underneath, some nymphs.
Considering the interpretation of the bride as deceased (this is a funerary patera, a "type of utensil is mainly documented in funerary contexts"), I can't help but wonder whether this is meant as Demeter driving Persephone -to- the underworld rather than back from it, just like there are some depictions of Hades driving a crowned, tranquil Persephone with Hecate guiding which seems to imply she's being returned -from- the underworld.

Persephone enthroned, Aphrodite with young man.

EDIT: [link with further comment]

This one looks to me like the story of Adonis, considering the image of Aphrodite and how there seems to be no Hades.

But -maybe- the winged woman in front of Aphrodite's chariot could be Eos, so the story could be Hesiod's story of Aphrodite and Phaethon, where Aphrodite abducts Phaethon (who is a son of Eos, and most likely not the same charioteer Phaethon son of Helios).

The enthroned figure could also be Hecate, but she seems to most often be depicted with some sort of fire or "cosmic" imagery (such as the radiate crown that Helios, Eos and star gods like Eosphoros often get).

Hi, I just watched Emperor's New groove for the first time a couple weeks ago in English, and yesterday watched it again in Latin American Spanish.

LatAm dubs tend to be awesome but often diverge quite a bit from the original.

But something that I really liked about the dub's differences were specific lines grounding the setting:

>English: "An enigma and a mystery in mesoamerican history"
Spanish: "Un enigma y un misterio en la historia del imperio" ("an enigma and a mystery in the empire's history)

The eternal error of mixing up cultures that were very very far from each other.

>English: "What is he babbling about? He's like The Thing That Wouldn't Shut Up."
Spanish: "¿Por qué balbucea tanto? Este orejón no cierra la boca" ("why is he blabbing so much? This big eared one does not close his mouth")

Subtle, but in English the dude is just "he", while in spanish he's called "orejón", which means "big eared" but was specifically a term used to refer to Inca nobles.

>English: "I was a junior chipmunk. I had to be versed in the woodland creatures."
Spanish: "Fui Inca scout, ahí aprendí la lengua de los animales." ("I was an Inca scout, there I learned animal speech.")

Outright naming the culture, plus it's a pun on "boy scout", which is used as is in Spanish.

Of course, the movie all over is a cartoon, with a science lab, mexican sombreros + piñatas and all sort of other things that don't match Inca culture whatsoever, but I liked these little efforts in the dub to ground it a bit more than the English original while keeping it just as funny (or even funnier tbh).

I watched this movie AFTER I developed some special interest in Inca/Tawantinsuyu empire, because really there's so little content based on them that just searching around quickly led me to memes with these characters. Art is obviously not mine, credit is in the image: wickfield.deviantart.com
