Greek Goddesses: Hunty

Hunty was a not so well know Greek Goddess from the Classical Period. She was the goddess of sarcasm and gullibility. She was also the goddess of lusting after younger men, and in the mythology, she often chased after 12-16 year old boys, and rarely was declined, for Hunty was beautiful.

With her long flowing blonde hair and glowing blue eyes, she was very well known by the Greeks. She was written into many Greek plays, and was often found very funny due to her sarcastic comments.

Plays Featuring Hunty: “Odder Objects”, “That”, “Oh Come All Ye Faithful”.

“Odder Objects”

“Odder Objects” features a young boy named Phinneas Wolfhound. With his Short stature, long legs, and full hair, he charmed Hunty. Hunty began lusting after this boy (believed to be around 15). However, Phinneas would pay no mind to Hunty, for he was focused on protecting his cousin (believed to be around 11) from the ever growing witch trials. His cousin was thought to possess and practice witchcraft; particularly, telekinesis (moving objects with your mind) This play follows the life of Phinneas, his cousin, and the lovestruck Hunty who desperately tries to win his affection.

“That”

“That” is a play featuring a circus ringmaster who was cruel to his circus performers. He mocked them, ridiculed them, beat them, and tore them down. Hunty, the beautiful goddess, despised everything this unnamed ringmaster stood for. She transformed herself into a plausible circus act. An young woman who could tell the future. Hunty used her gorgeous looks and amazing talents to seduce the ringmaster. One night he took her to his bedroom, intending on sleeping with Hunty, known to the ringmaster as Madam Penelope Wiser. Hunty (Madam Penelope Wiser) crawls into bed with the ringmaster, before stabbing in the chest. The following day, she appointed a new ringmaster. One she trusted to be kind to the circus performers.

“Oh Come All Ye Faithful”

“Oh Come All Ye Faithful” was a play about four male friends who were always together. Hunty, seeing a group of young men, could not resist the urge to try to seduce them. She followed them for days. One day, she saw them all out in the Baths, and decided to make herself known. She walked over to the four young boys, and they instantly began lusting after this beautiful woman walking their way. Hunty only wanted one, but she wanted the strongest. So she lured the boys out to a colosseum nearby, and had them fight to the death. Hunty, being the goddess of gullibility, had no problem convincing the boys this was a good idea. After a vigorous fighting scene, Hunty walks out of the colosseum, hand in bloody hand, with the boy who came out on top.
