Talk:Antiope (mother of Amphion)

"Satyr Zeus"
Someone must have noted in print what seems so obvious, that the figure of Zeus here is an Olympian intrusion in this archaic story of the successful mating of a satyr with Antiope. Satyrs in Olympian myth are not generally successful, are they: the insertion that the "satyr was really Zeus" brought the old Boeotian mytheme into line. If I had a citation, I'd add this. But I don't. Wise readers of Wikipedia read the Talkpages too.--Wetman (talk) 06:05, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Rape victim? "[Odysseus saw the shades of heroines in the underworld :] I saw Antiope, the daughter of Asopos (Asopus); it was her pride to have slept in the arms of Zeus himself. She bore two sons, Amphion and Zethos (Zethus), primal founders of Thebes of the seven gates; they added walls to the spacious city because without them they could not hold it as their dwelling."Homer, Odyssey 11. 260

Antiope herself BOASTED she had slept with Zeus. Why is she listed as a rape victim? Doesn't her own voice matter?
