In all fairness, I don't think mythology incest is like... real incest. Because typically, these gods literally represent elements/concepts, and the stories themselves are somewhat allegorical, so to speak, rather than literal beliefs. At least among the classical pagan philosophers.

not that fandom versions can't be more literal lol

Nah. Incest was rife enough at the time that it's simply being reflected in the mythology. Nothing allegorical about it.

The myths absolutely are allegorical.

Incest may have been more common (at least, things like cousins and such) but that doesn't change the nature of the myths.

Plus, even if you want to take the gods literally (which classical writings suggest that philosophers largely did not) you can't really fault a god for incest when you and your siblings are like the only people in the world.
