Mauled Maimed Mangled Mutilated Mythology is adult literature that satirizes twenty-one classic mythology stories into more mature presentations, featuring adult language, content and humor.
Author Jay Dubya goes right to work retelling adult renditions of female myths Pandora, Ceres Goes Against the Grain, and Echo's Cursing Curse.
Other famous adventure myths that are thoroughly pulverized and clobbered are Bellerophon's Marathon Adventure, Theseus and the Minotaur, Perseus and Medusa, Odysseus and the Cyclops, and Jason and the Golden Fleecers.
Male hero and vanity/punishment myths are also imaginatively assaulted and mercilessly converted into adult versions as in the cases of Prometheus and Fire, The Three Golden Apples, Oedipus, King Midas, and Orpheus.
Other stories that are not saved from degeneration are the author's humorous original tales Olympus Lives, and also Colliding Myths, where Jay Dubya combines the popular stories of Phaethon and the classic Daedalus and Icarus.
Love myths are also hammered with novel presentations of Baucis and Philemon, Psyche and Stupid Cupid, along with Atalanta's Last Race.
Finally, Norse mythology is not spared from total degeneration with a very amusing retelling of Beowulf, and Arabian literature is also assaulted with a creative presentation of The Fourth Voyage of Sindbad. Mauled Maimed Mangled Mutilated Mythology is exclusively adult satirical literature that is definitely not written for, or to be read by, children.
