Cadmus- You actually don't see people's faces first when the curtain goes up.
Actaeon- A bit harsh, she could have at least spared him the sparagmos.
Narcissus & Echo- It is amazing how sad so many are when someone who loves no one but himself dies.
Tiresias- Juno seems perpetually gripped by PMS.Pentheus- I don't understand how or when he was transformed into a boar.
[Just found out they only thought he was a boar because Bacchus had driven them crazy]
The following is a very graphic artistic rendering of Pentheus's head after being torn to pieces by the Bacchantes:
Book IV
Pyramis & Thisbe- A silly misunderstanding leads to a graphic double suicide.
Mars, Venus, Vulcan, the Sun- Brilliant revenge.
Salmacis & Hermaphroditus- Looks like we have a "stage five clinger" on our hands.
Athamis & Ino- Crazy people are much scarier than monsters.
Atlas & Perseus- Good thing Atlas can't shrug, being made of stone and all.
