Final Myths

Today I read the myth titled Amphion. I found a similarity between Amphion and his twin Zethus with Apollo and Diane. Both couples were twins, and both Apollo and Amphion were good at the arts while Zethus and Diane were skillful with at hunting. I also read the story on Marsyas, and I found it was similar to the myth on Minerva and Arachne. In both stories the mortals were skillful at something and decide to defy the gods, only to end up in terrible situations. Finally, I read on Orion, which made me wonder why Neptune did not punish Oenopian after trating his son in the way he did. Usually, Gods punish offenses, but there is no explanation to why Neptune did not react violently. It would be interesting to find out.
