There's one cardinal rule in Greek mythology: Never sleep with Zeus.
Seriously, it never ends well for any women who does that, one way or another...With a very unpleasant fate delivered by Hera, Queen of the Gods, with all the fury of a woman scorned.
But what if you happened to break that one rule...?
*************
I'm looking for someone (Preferably a male DM!) to run a fantasy adventure with the following concept: Our lovely heroine (played by me) has inadvertently (Or very enthusiastically) been seduced by Zeus...And now she's on the run from Hera Herself, seeking some way to escape Her divine wrath! (The title's a play off the classic PS2 series God of War.)
I kind of see this as a very tongue-in-cheek, not entirely accurate portrayal of Greek fantasy: While God of War is an inspiration, equally over-the-top historical fantasy like Ryse: Son of Rome, Titan Quest or Age of Mythology are all very strong inspirations. (Including Xena / Hercules, or the Altheus gamebooks - if anyone remembers those.)
After all, there's plenty of precedent for heroic quests in Greek mythology, most famously The Odyssey and The Twelve Labours of Hercules. I'm thinking that our particularly gifted heroine is trying to find a way to evade Hera's wrath, or somehow turn the tables on the vengeful goddess...One way or another! (And, of course, having fun with the various men, monsters and creatures she meets along the way!)
I'll shamelessly admit; I'm a big fan of 'exotic' or unexpected encounters - the kind of fun you wouldn't expect a typical fantasy heroine to get into! Monsters, perverted older men, and other naughty scenarios...It's a very specific mood (see, NTR) and I'd love to discuss this in more detail. I realize that this is a pretty broad idea, so I'm very much open to suggestions...And also to show off more gorgeous art!
The primary inspiration for our heroine:

As for how she's survived so far...Maybe she's a demi-goddess, one of Apollo's or Aphrodite's offspring. Maybe she was tutored by Athena - who doesn't have kids, but can adopt, and by the way, is really disappointed with her 'daughter'. Maybe Eris is doing what she does best, i.e. stir shit up. Or perhaps Circe or Medea might have something to say about all that...
Maybe she's a proto-Solar Exalted, empowered by a spark from the Promethean Flame or some other strange source of power. Either way, she justttttt might beat this...After all, Orpheus found a way to bring his true love back from the dead, didn't he?

...What's that you say? It didn't work out so well for him? Well, there's a first time for everything...

Even if she has to go through the entire fantasy bestiary to get there! After all, Kratos did it, and everything was all right in the end, wasn't it?

Don't answer that.
(If anyone's curious about the gamebook series I'm referencing, it's The Cretan Chronicles, PDFs of which can still be found out there. Fun, but arbitrary.)
