Kadmos and Harmonia

Kadmos: I’ll start a city here.

Dragon: RRAAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Kadmos: I smite thee, dragon!

Dragon: Ugh! (dies)

Ares: Mortal scum! You killed my sacred dragon! Prepare for some smiting yourself!

Zeus: Now, now, Ares! Don’t kill him. Let him build the city.

Ares (grumbling): Fine, fine. I won’t kill him. Instead he can marry my daughter, Harmonia.

[wedding bells]

Harmonia was the daughter of War (Ares) and Sex (Aphrodite), and her brothers were Fear and Terror, so we just might want to question whether her naming was entirely sincere.
